HANDLEBAR:
It is provided with internal sensors that control the direction and speed of each
wheel, based on the pressure that the operator applies upon the Handlebar.
The Unit is driven by first gripping and holding the Locking Bar towards the
Handlebar. The Locking Bar is released to block motion.
When the Arm is in parking position, the Unit travels at the
configured velocity (approx. 5 km/h (3.1 mph) forwards and
2.5 km/h (1.6 mph) backwards).
This velocity reduces considerably when the Arm is not in
Parking Position (approx. 1.6 km/h (1 mph)).
Velocity can be configured by service personnel.
DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE MOBILE UNIT, THE BRAKING
DISTANCE AT FULL SPEED ON A SMOOTH SURFACE IS
1 METER MAXIMUM.
Displacement cannot be performed when the Unit is connected to
the mains.
In order to avoid uncontrolled displacement of the Unit
during the Start-up, due to a failure of the displacement
controls (Handlebar pressed, pulled or short-circuited),
movements controlled with the Handlebar are blocked
although the unit can be controlled with the Fine Positioning
Controls.
The unit displacement can also be blocked during the driving.
An audio signal is emitted (beep sequence in 2 seconds
intervals) to alert the user about a failure condition (refer to
Table 3-1).
