Power Consumption - Omron Pioneer LX User Manual

Table of Contents
A heavy payload, with most of its weight concentrated just above the Pioneer LX, will be much more
stable than the same weight payload in which the weight is either off-center or high above the top of the
platform.
NOTE: The weight of your payload added to the weight of the parts it is carrying must not
exceed 60 kg (132 lb).

Power Consumption

Using devices on your payload that consume significant power will noticeably shorten the run-time of
the robot. You should try to minimize such power consumption whenever possible.
Examples of power-consuming payloads would be one with a robot arm attached, or any motorized
fixture as part of the payload. The standard Operator screen and light discs consume some power, but are
not significant compared to the rest of the platform.
The battery is rated at 1500 W*hr (1.5 kWh). Unloaded, the platform uses from 80 - 107 W. With a full
load, this increases to 94 - 125 W. (The range for each reflects the speed at which the platform is driven.)
You can use the wattage of any accessories you add to your payload, added to these typical values, to
calculate the expected run-time per charge.
