Built-In Safety Devices - Swine Robotics Envirologic EVO Cleaner User Manual

Transportation of the robot with a vehicle (for example with a truck or a trailer)
• The robot must only be transported in an upright position, turned On, safely fixed so that the
robot cannot overturn or suffer any other form of mechanical damage.
•
If a malfunction is suspected due to a mishap while undergoing transport the robot must be
functionally checked before it is put into use.
Moving the robot.
• The robot must only be moved when it's turned On.
• The robot must only be moved with both hands on the handle when the clutch is used.
• Methods for moving the robot must be adapted to the ground and personal capabilities.
• If the ground is steeply inclined (upwards or downwards) the motor must be used, do not use the
clutch or the pivot wheel!
Recording (programming) and starting a robot program
• Before cleaning, the section must be cleared of humans (except for the person carrying out the
recording) and animals; aisles and pens must be clear of obstacles and doors and gates must be
closed.
• Warning signs must be placed by the entrance of the section during cleaning.
• The person carrying out the recording must use ear defenders and safety goggles. Other
recommended equipment is protective clothing, boots, gloves and a mask.
• During recording the operator must keep a safe distance from the moving parts of the robot and
the high-pressure water jet.
• During recording the robot must be manipulated in such a way that the water jet or the moving
parts of the robot are not in contact with sensitive electronics or other sensitive equipment.
• When using markers these must be firmly fixed and be capable of remaining in the same
position throughout the cleaning process.
Cleaning and maintenance
• Rinse the robot thoroughly after use. Do not use a high-pressure water.
• The batteries must be recharged in a well-ventilated area free of flammable materials.
• During maintenance the robot must be switched off.
• Only qualified personnel are allowed to carry out repairs on the robot.
Risk of overturning
• Do not transport the robot in the parking position if the ground leans more than 20 degrees
sideways.
• If the tower is turned 90 degrees from the centre position and the telescope + arm are in their most
extended positions, the ground should not lean more than 5 degrees (depending also on whether
the water jet is directed up or down).
• During cleaning behind the robot in the marked area in picture 3, there is a risk of overturning that
is dependent on the ground and the position of the boom, telescope and arm. If working in this
area the recommendation is to have the telescope in its most retracted position.

Built-in safety devices

The robot has a built-in safety system with several different alarms. If an alarm occurs, the robot will immediately
stop the operation, shut off the water jet and display an alarm text in the operator panel. The alarm must be
acknowledged before the operation can ultimately be restarted.
•
Protection against current faults is provided by separate fuses for charging and for the print-board.
•
Protection against low battery voltage is controlled by the computer and generates an alarm if this occurs
•
Protection against collision during operation is detected by each individual motor and generates an alarm
if the current consumption becomes higher than expected.
