CO extinguisher. The HD-1500 has four E-Stop buttons, two on either side of the platform (a red push-lock but- ton). The Operator Panel provides an additional E-Stop button (a red push-lock button on a yel- low background).
In case of an emergency or abnormal situation, the AMR can be manually moved. However, only qualified personnel who have read and understood this manual and the HD-1500 Plat- form User's Manual (Cat. No. I645) should manually move the platform. The brakes on the drive wheels can be released with the brake release button.
Page 18
Using the brake release button while the HD-1500 is positioned on a slope of greater than 3% will cause the HD-1500 to roll down. You must not use the brake release button to move the HD-1500 manually, when positioned on a slope of greater than 3%, unless necessary precautions have been taken to pre- vent uncontrolled rolling of the HD-1500.
Chapter 2: Operational Safety OMRON recommends that you train personnel on the safe use of the brake release button, and procedures for safely pushing an HD-1500. CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY RISK The pushing locations of the AMR are low. You must use safe pushing/ pulling practices when manually moving the AMR.
Safe use of the AMR requires that you: Read the installation and operation instructions, in addition to the HD-1500 Platform User's Manual (Cat. No. I645), before using the AMR. Review, and understand the safety protections (E-Stops, safety laser stopping distances, overhanging load, etc.) associated with your specific application and environment.
Never access the interior of the platform with the charger attached. Avoid shorting the battery terminals or connectors. Do not use any charger or battery not supplied by OMRON. The charger shall only be used to charge an HD-1500 battery.
The user must provide the necessary additional training for all personnel who will be working with the system. As described in this guide, and the HD-1500 Platform User's Manual (Cat. No. I645), you should allow only skilled persons or instructed persons to do certain procedures: Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable them to avoid either electrical or mechanical dangers.
AMR will be operating. The warning buzzer is configured with MobilePlanner. The buzzer must be audible above the ambient noise of the environment that the HD-1500 operates in. In environments with higher levels of noise, you may need to supply and install an additional warning buzzer to an appropriate location on the payload structure.
Speakers The HD-1500 is equipped with two speakers, located at the front of the AMR. When speakers are used as a means of notifying personnel of an approaching AMR, you must routinely verify that they are still functioning normally. Verify that the speakers are audible, and the sound level is at the same level as needed during the operation.
When two similar AMRs approach each other their scanning lasers will detect the inner surface of that channel and not the outer perimeter of the other AMR. Operating an HD-1500 with any of its skins detached will worsen this effect. Typically this will not present a problem, however, in close proximity each AMR will plan its motion more accurately with information from the Fleet Manager about the position of the other AMR.
The severity of injury depends on the type of payload and how the payload is integrated with the HD-1500. The severity of injury increases with the mass of the payload. Follow all indus- trial safety practices, such as use of steel-toe shoes around the AMR, and adding additional protection like side lasers, etc.
Provide physical barriers that the HD-1500 can detect accurately with its scanning laser so that it does not attempt to drive near the hazard. Be aware that in addition to being easily detectable, a barrier must be strong enough to resist a fully-loaded HD-1500 trav- eling at its maximum speed.
The HD-1500 travels in forward and backward directions. To change its direction, the HD- 1500 rotates on its center of rotation (turns in place). The HD-1500 has a full safety coverage of 360°, and therefore, obstacles will trigger a safety system event when the AMR rotates.

2.15 Interlock Switches 2.15 Interlock Switches The HD-1500 is equipped with the interlock switches located on the battery door, and the AMR side skins. The interlock switches continuously monitor and ensure that the battery door, and the side skins are properly attached to the platform. This is to ensure that the battery com- partment as well as the electronics bay enclosure are isolated, and protected from unau- thorized/unsafe access.
IMPORTANT: If you remove the side skins or open the battery door while the HD-1500 is docked, and is charging its battery, the charging will stop. Once the removed skin is re-installed or the battery door properly closed, the charging will not re-engage automatically.

2.18 Payload Structure A payload structure is any mechanical equipment that you attach to the HD-1500 for the pur- pose of performing a task. It might be as simple as shelves to receive bins of parts or as com- plex as a robot arm.
The only warning labels that are shipped with the HD-1500, unattached to the platform, are the No Riding labels. All other labels are installed in the factory. For information on where to attach the No Riding labels, refer to the HD-1500 Platform User's Manual (Cat. No. I645).
4. Then, connect the other end of the buzzer cable to the buzzer device itself, if it isn’t con- nected already. 5. Configure the buzzer as appropriate for the environment in which the HD-1500 oper- ates. 6. Mount the buzzer on your desired location, and verify that the buzzer works properly.
Page 56
(ms) (user power) Payload Attachment Location The HD-1500 chassis is where you attach and secure your payload structure to the platform. The user panel allows you to make the necessary electrical connections from your payload structure to the AMR Controller.
Page 57
The entire payload, and anything it carries, must be kept higher than the top of the platform. If the payload blocks any of the HD-1500's sensors, it cannot func- tion correctly. This is important in the case of the side lasers.
Page 58
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 10 kN per mounting point. For the location of the center of gravity, refer to the HD-1500 Platform User's Manual (Cat. No. I645). The chassis steel bars bear the main structural load of any payload. You can easily adjust and move your payload in relationship to the HD-1500's center of gravity.
