You need to interrupt or stop the platform for some reason, to keep it from performing
l
its currently scheduled task (and don't have access to MobilePlanner).
You are working near the platform and don't want it to move.
l
You want to use the Brake Release button.

NOTE: There is a two-second delay between the release of an E-Stop and the plat-
form resuming its activity. During the two seconds, the platform scans its path for
potential obstacles, and will resume commanded motion if there is adequate space
to maneuver.
ON Button
The ON button restores power after the OFF button was pressed, and the software finishes shut-
ting down the AIV.
It can also be used to restore power after an pressing E-Stop.
OFF Button
The red OFF button removes power from all systems except the charging hardware circuits.
The platform's software systems prevent loss of data on shutdown, and save the platform's
last known location so it automatically localizes when it is next powered on.
NOTE: The OFF button can be disabled by the keyswitch, which can be locked and
the key removed.
Brake-Release Button
The brake release is used when you need to manually move the AIV.
Releasing the brakes requires battery power and pressing an E-Stop. The brake-release button
must be held in for the brakes to remain released.
Keyswitch
The keyswitch can disable the OFF button. You can remove the key either the locked or
unlocked positions.
7.5 Other Controls and Indicators
When sold by itself, the platform does not come with a beacon or light tower, which are user-
supplied. Factory-supplied LD Platform OEM-based AIVs often include a beacon. The core has
a Light Pole port that supports the beacon behavior described here.
Light Discs and Beacon
The platform has circular lights on the sides that indicate motion, turns, and several other
states.
A user-supplied beacon, typically mounted on the AIV dome, can provide extra signaling. The
beacon indicates movement, and signals an Operator that the AIV is waiting for assistance.
Their states are described here, and summarized in the following tables.
