Safety • Exceeding the total payload • Positioning or fastening loads incorrectly according to the specifications • Using Emergency stop buttons for anything other than emergency stops • Driving the robot with anything other than safely commissioned shelves • Using the robot in medical and life critical applications •...
2. Safety NOTICE Other significant hazards may be present in a specific robot installation and must be identified during commissioning. 2.7 Warning label MiR1000 Shelf Lift is supplied with a warning label that specifies that it is strictly prohibited to ride on the robot. The label must be placed on the robot or top module so that it is clearly visible.
3. Light indicators and speakers 3. Light indicators and speakers The robot uses two types of light indicators to let people in the environment know what the robot is currently doing or planning to do. • Status lights LED light bands on all four sides of the robot uses colors and light motion patterns to signal the current status of the robot.

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. CAUTION Opening or removing hatches from the robot exposes parts connected to the power supply, risking damage to the robot from a short circuit and burns.
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.

Security patches are included from software version 2.8.3 and higher. Understanding MiR software versions MiR uses the Major.Minor.Patch.Hot fix format to version software. For example, 2.8.1.1 means that the software is based on the second major release, the eighth minor release of the major version, the first patch release of the minor version, and, in this example, a single hot fix is included too.

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 Powering up the robot To power up the robot, follow these steps: Ensure that all six Emergency stop buttons are in the released state.
7. Getting started Press the Resume button to clear the Protective stop. The robot is now ready for operation. 7.5 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.
Page 41
7. Getting started Switch to Manual mode, and drive the robot down the ramp—see Driving the robot in Manual mode on the next page. Always make sure your robot is running the latest recommended software. This also applies to newly supplied robots, as there may have been important software updates during the storage time and shipment of the robot.
7. Getting started 7.6 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 43
7. Getting started On the robot, press the Resume button. The status lights turn blue, indicating that the robot is in Manual mode. The robot is shown with an EU pallet lift. 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. 7.8 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.
