Ava 500 IT Administrator's Guide
The following instructions are also provided on the Ava 500 Caretaker Poster. The front of the poster does not
illustrate the location of the power button and the rocker switch, to minimize the chance that someone will turn the
Ava 500 off. The power button is in the service compartment on the back of the robot; the rocker switch is under
the top plate beneath the service compartment (Figure 19). The rocker switch on/off positions are mirrored on the
sticker on the bottom plate beneath the switch.
1. If the robot was not at the charging station, push it back to its charging station.
2. If the stop button was pushed in, release it.
If you forget to release the stop button, when you turn the Ava 500 back on the EX60 will not raise
and lower and the robot will display a hardware fault. You must then release the stop button and
repeat the reboot procedure.
Never push or release the stop button while the Ava 500 is engaged with the charging station.
3. Engage the robot with the charging station. Engaging the robot with the charging station before you turn it on
allows it to locate itself on its internal map as it reboots.
4. Open the service compartment on the back of the base and press the power button for approximately two
seconds, until you hear the EX60 drop. Wait for the fans and base LEDs to turn off (up to 10 seconds).
5. Flip the rocker switch in the top LIDAR plate on the back of the robot to the 'Off' position.
6. Wait for 15 seconds.
7. Flip the rocker switch to the 'On' position.
