3.3 Unpacking
Warning Buzzer
The Light Pole connector on the core can power a warning buzzer. You can install it in either
the platform or in a location of your choice in your payload structure. In either case, the buzzer
will sound intermitently whenever the AIV is moving in reverse.
How you install the buzzer in the payload structure depends on the payload design, and is
not covered here. To conform to applicable standards, the buzzer must be audible in all oper-
ating conditions and environments.
Warning Light
Each AIV must have a readily visible flashing light, to warn people that the AIV is ready to
move or is moving. The exact nature of this light depends on how the payload is designed
and built. The user-suppled warning light can be driven from the Light Pole connector on the
core.
You should ensure the light remains visible under all operating conditions, so that, regardless
of your payload structure design, any people near the AIV can see it.
Installing the Docking Station
The automated docking station can either manually or automatically charge your platform's
battery.
The docking station sits on the floor. You can attach it to a wall with the wall bracket, directly
to the floor with screws through its base, or it can sit stand-alone on the floor with the floor
plate, all of which will keep the docking station from moving when the AIV docks. Each dock-
ing station includes both the wall bracket and floor plate.
CAUTION: It is very important that you mount the docking station with one
of these methods, or the AIV will simply move the docking station when it
tries to dock, rather than docking successfully.
For all mounting methods:
l
Place the docking station near an AC outlet with 1 - 2 m (3.25 - 6.5 ft)of clear space in
front to ease the AIV’s maneuvers, especially automated ones, onto the docking station.
l
The top of the docking station foot is spring-loaded, and lifts off of the bottom of the
base slightly to accommodate variations in the floor surface. The weight of the AIV will
push the top of the foot down.
Requirements
l
100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 8 A
The station's power converter automatically detects the source voltage.
l
Ambient operating temperature: 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F)
l
5 to 95% humidity, non-condensing
