Docking Station Contact Adjustment
The contacts on the docking station have five height settings to compensate for variations in
floor flatness at the docking station's location. The default is the highest setting, which should
be appropriate in most cases.
The height adjustment mechanism is on the underside of the docking station's floor plate,
shown in Figure 3-18.
Figure 3-18 Adjusting the Height of the Docking Station Contacts
Callout Description
A Spring loaded locking pin. (Pull out and quarter turn to lock it in the open
position, turn to release.)
B Highest adjustment (shipped default). Each notch adjusts the height by
4 mm (0.15 inch).
C Lowest adjustment.
To test and adjust the height of the contacts:
1.
Using MobilePlanner, send the AMR to the dock to recharge.
2.
When the AMR reverses on to the dock, the operation should be smooth and quiet. If
you hear a noise, it is likely that the docking funnel is bumping the guide wheel.
3.
Disconnect the power cable and turn the docking station on its side.
4.
Push down on the charging paddle and hold it in place to take the tension off the
spring.
5. Pull out the pin (A) and slide it in the direction (C) to select a position slot (B) Adjust
the position of the paddle as shown in Figure 3-18. The height changes by 4 mm (0.15
inch) for each notch.
Set the height of the contacts so that the roller is high enough to stay in contact with the LD-
250 as it is docking, but low enough so that the roller guides the paddle under the LD-250.
