Installing The Docking Station - Omron LD-60 User Manual

with applicable standards, it is important that the buzzer be audible in all operating con-
ditions and environments.
Warning Light
Each AIV is required to have a readily visible flashing light, to serve as a warning that the
AIV is ready to move or is moving. The exact nature of this light will vary depending on how
the payload is designed and built. The warning light can be driven from the Light Pole con-
nector on the core. The warning light is user-supplied.
You should ensure that the light remains visible under all operating conditions, so that, regard-
less of your payload structure design, any people near the AIV can see it.

Installing the Docking Station

The automated docking station can be used for either manual or automated charging of your
platform's battery.
The docking station sits on the floor. It can be attached to a wall with the wall bracket,
attached directly to the floor with screws through its base, or can sit stand-alone on the floor
with the floor plate, all of which will keep the docking station from moving when the AIV
docks. Both the wall bracket and floor plate are included with each docking station.
CAUTION: It is very important that the docking station be mounted with one
of these methods, or the AIV will simply move the docking station when it
tries to dock, rather than docking successfully.
For all mounting methods:
Locate the docking station near an AC outlet with 1 - 2 meters (3.25 - 6.5 ft) of clear
l
space in front to ease the AIV's maneuvers, especially automated ones, onto the docking
station.
The top of the docking station foot is spring-loaded, and lifts off of the bottom of the
l
base slightly to accommodate variations in the floor surface. The weight of the AIV will
push the top of the foot down.
Requirements
100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 8 A
l
The station's power converter automatically detects the source voltage.
Ambient operating temperature: 5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F)
l
5 to 95% humidity, non-condensing
l
Wall Bracket Mount
1. Attach the docking station mounting bracket to a wall, with the bottom edge of the
bracket 98 ± 20 mm (3.8 ± 0.8 in.) above the floor, using user-supplied anchors and
screws. There is leeway, so you can adjust the height a little bit.
