Chapter 7: Operation; Operating Environment; Intended Use; Clearance - Omron LD-60 User Manual

Before proceeding, you need to have performed the steps covered in the Setup and Getting Star-
ted chapters, so your platform has a map to work from.

7.1 Operating Environment

Intended Use

The LD platform is designed for operating in indoor industrial or professional environments. It
must be deployed in a manner that takes into account potential risks to personnel and equip-
ment. The product is not intended for use in uncontrolled areas without risk analysis, for
example, areas open to general public access. Use in such areas may require deployment of
additional safety measures.

Clearance

The LD platform is designed to operate in an environment that is generally level and has no
doors or other restricted areas too narrow for the AIV.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that adequate clearance is maintained on each side of
the AIV, so that a person cannot get trapped between the AIV and a wall or other fixed object.
You should consult the applicable standards for your area.
An exception to side clearance can exist at pickup and dropoff locations, where the AIV must
get close to conveyors or other fixed objects.

Obstacles

If the AIV will be entering high-traffic areas, the user must take appropriate precautions to
alert people in those areas that a robot might enter. If the traffic consists of other machines, the
user must adjust the AIV's and/or the other machine's parameters to reduce the risk of a col-
lision.
Care must be taken to avoid:
glass doors and walls
l
pits without railings or low bumpers
l
floors with access panels removed
l
loose cables, hoses, etc.
l
WARNING: Do not allow the platform to drive through an opening that has
an automatic gate/door unless the door and platform are configured correctly
with the Call/Door Box option.
Refer to the Call/Door Box Installation Guide for details on the Call/Door Box.
