wound around the platform’s axles, casters, or wheels.
l
Do not use parts not authorized by Omron Adept Technologies, Inc.
l
Do not turn on the robot without the antennas in place.
l
Although the lasers are Class 1 (eye-safe), we recommend you not look directly into
them.
Falling Hazards
WARNING: A mobile robot can cause serious injury to personnel or damage
to itself or other equipment if it drives off of a ledge, such as a loading dock, or
down stairs.
Physical Barriers
The edge of a loading dock, the entrance to downward stairs, or any other substantial drop
that is within the robot’s expected operating area should be physically marked so that the
robot’s navigation laser will see the barrier, and stop before reaching it. The robot’s navigation
laser scans at 203 mm (8 in.) from the floor, so the barrier must cover at least that height.
This needs to be continuous at the site, so that the robot can’t drive around or through it to the
dropoff.
Logical Barriers
You should also use forbidden areas, sectors, or lines with several feet of safety zone (padding)
before the actual dropoff, to ensure that the robot will not try to drive there.
These need to be continuous at the site, so that the robot can’t plan a path to drive around or
between them to the dropoff.
Electrical Hazards
WARNING: The docking station has AC power inside. Its covers are not inter-
locked.
l
Do not use power extension cords with the docking station unless properly rated.
l
Never access the interior of the platform with the docking station attached.
l
Immediately disconnect the battery after opening the battery compartment door.
Avoid shorting the battery terminals.
l
Do not use any charger not supplied by Omron Adept Technologies, Inc.
l
If any liquid is spilled on the robot, power off the robot, clean up all possible liquid, and
allow the robot to air dry thoroughly before restoring power.
