Precautions for Correct Use
• Before you configure wireless Ethernet on your AMR, contact your network administrator to confirm
the IP, radio, and security settings.
• It is the end user's responsibility to ensure that the payload does not attenuate the wireless anten-
nas' signal.
• You must attach either a jumper or some other safety-rated devices (typically E-STOP buttons) to
the SCPU connector in order for the AMR to function.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable tension force of 10 kN for M16 x 2.0 mounting points.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable tension force of 4 kN for M6 x 1.0 mounting points.
• Do not use the M6 x 1.0 mounting points to lift the AMR.
• Insert screws provided in the Top Plate Seal Kit (part number 24861-000) into any unused M16 x 2.0
mounting point holes to maintain IP22 protection.
• OMRON does not provide the protective coverings with the HAPS option. A protective covering
needs to be installed when applying the magnetic tape to the floor to prevent damage from the AMR
traffic. The protective covering must be supplied by the user.
• You cannot use the same marker tape configuration for different AMRs in hybrid fleets because of
their different sizes and turn radiuses. To determine the distance between the AMR and its final
alignment goal (such as a machine with which it interfaces), refer to the AMR User's Manual to ob-
tain the exact dimensions of the platform.
• There may be future updates for the Safety Controller. Safety Controller updates cause the Safety
Laser Scanner to decommission because the safety zone check will fail. After a Safety Controller
update is complete, you must recommission the Safety Laser Scanner.
• Do not operate the AMR on soft surfaces such as carpet.
• The AMR is designed and intended to operate on smooth floors. While it is capable of driving over a
step or gap, frequent or high-speed driving over steps or gaps will shorten the lifespan of the drive-
train components.
• A physical barrier must be easily detectable by the AMR and also strong enough to stop a fully-load-
ed AMR traveling at its maximum speed.
• Always ship and store the AMR, Power Supply Box, and the Docking Target in an upright position in
a clean and dry area. Do not lay the shipping crates on their sides or any other non-upright position.
This could damage the Power Supply Box and the Docking Target.
• You must route and secure the power cords properly. They must be secured in such a way that pre-
vents straining of the connection points.
• It is safe to connect or disconnect the power cord from the Docking Target or battery without power-
ing OFF the Power Supply Box.
• Always wait until the green OPERATION LED indicator on the Power Supply Box is ON solid before
attempting to charge a battery.
• Do not press the Service button on the Power Supply Box if the yellow DC POWER LED indicator is
flashing when there is no battery connected. Contact your OMRON representative if this condition is
present.
• The AMR must be powered ON in order to charge the battery while at the Docking Target.
• Avoid moving the AMR while it is powered OFF. If you manually move the AMR while it is powered
OFF, it may not be able to determine its current location when it is powered ON again. Use the local-
ization feature in MobilePlanner to localize the AMR if this occurs.
• You should move the AMR manually only when absolutely necessary during an emergency, for safe-
ty, or if it is lost or stuck. If you find that you must frequently move the AMR, use MobilePlanner to
reconfigure its route to avoid problematic areas.
