5. Accessing the internal parts 5. Accessing the internal parts Most internal parts of MiR1000 Shelf Lift are accessed through maintenance hatches that open to different compartments: • Front compartment • Rear compartment • Side compartments • Top compartments WARNING Opening or removing hatches from the robot exposes parts connected to the power supply, risking damage to the robot from a short circuit and electrical shock to personnel.
5. Accessing the internal parts 5.2 Rear compartment To open the rear compartment, push the two white buttons at the same time and pull the hatch. 5.3 Side compartments To open a side hatch, turn the two screws 90° with a flat-head screwdriver, and pull open the hatch.
MiR1000 Shelf Lift communicates all data over the network that it is connected to. It is the responsibility of the commissioner to ensure that it is connected to a secure network. MiR recommends conducting an IT-security risk assessment before commissioning the robot.

7. Getting started 7.2 Unpacking MiR1000 Shelf Lift This section describes how to unpack the robot. Keep the original packaging for future transportation of MiR1000 Shelf Lift. To unpack the robot, follow these steps: Place the box with the robot so that there is at least three meters of free space at the front or the back of the box.
7. Getting started Place the lid of the box so that you can use it as a ramp. Align the lid so that it is flush with the base of the box. Remove the wheel stop board from the pallet to let the robot drive on the ramp. 7.3 Connecting the battery To connect the battery to the robot, you need to open the rear compartment—see Accessing...
7. Getting started Once you have accessed the rear compartment, turn the Battery disconnect switch to the On position. The battery is now connected, and you can close the rear maintenance hatch. 7.4 Connecting to the robot interface When the robot is turned on, it enables the connection to its WiFi access point. The name of the access point appears in the list of available connections on your PC, tablet, or phone.

MiR_20XXXXXXX. The access point name is derived from the robot application's model serial number. In a browser, go to the address mir.com and sign in. Switch to Manual mode, and drive the robot down the ramp—see Driving the robot in Manual mode on the next page.
7. Getting started 7.5 Driving the robot in Manual mode CAUTION When driving the robot in Manual mode, it is possible to mute the Protective fields and drive the robot into Forbidden zones and Unpreferred zones on the map. This means that the robot will only stop when it is very close to an obstacle and will not respond to zones on the map.
Page 37
7. Getting started In the robot interface, select the joystick icon. The joystick control appears. Drive the robot off the ramp using the joystick. Place your foot in front of the ramp while the robot drives on it to keep the ramp from slipping.
Check that all elements on the page have the status and that they have green dots on the left. For more information, see Hardware health in MiR Robot Reference Guide on the MiR website. 7.7 Mounting the nameplate Before using MiR1000 Shelf Lift, you must mount its unique nameplate to it. The nameplate contains information specific to your MiR application.
7. Getting started 7.8 Enable the MiR1000 Shelf Lift feature To access the MiR1000 Shelf Lift settings and mission menus, the MiR1000 Shelf Lift features must be enabled. To check that they are enabled, follow these steps: Sign in to the robot interface, and go to System >...
