• Do not dispose of the battery in a waste stream that might result in incineration or crushing. Safely
dispose of the battery through a designated facility according to all local and national environmental
regulations regarding lithium battery disposal.
• Bright, direct, or high-intensity light can interfere with the AMR's laser operation. Do not operate the
AMR in areas where it may be exposed to these conditions.
• Operating the AMR at high ambient temperatures (particularly when carrying a full payload at high
speeds) can cause the battery to exceed its operating temperature limits. If this happens, do not try
to access the battery. You must allow several hours for an overheated battery to cool sufficiently be-
fore trying to remove or replace it.
• Avoid liquid near the Charging Station and the AMR.
• If you suspect that liquid has penetrated the skins or contaminated the AMR's interior, do not at-
tempt to power ON the system and contact your OMRON representative.
• In case of fire, use a type ABC or type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher.
• Although the lasers used are Class 1/1M (eye-safe), OMRON recommends that you not look into
the laser light. The maximum permissible exposure cannot be exceeded when viewing lasers with
the naked eye.
• Lasers cannot reliably detect glass, mirrors, and other highly-reflective objects. Use caution when
operating the AMR in areas that have these types of objects. If the AMR will need to drive close to
these objects, we recommend that you use a combination of markings on the objects (e.g., tape or
painted strips), and also use Forbidden Areas in the map, so that the AMR can plan paths safely
around these objects.
• Consider all safety factors related to the location of the integrated E-STOP button when relocating
the Operator Panel.
• The emergency stop or protective stop devices you install on the AMR must have a dual channel
circuit to ensure the same performance level as the other safety devices of the AMR.
• Any E-STOP buttons installed on the payload structure must be within 600 mm of reach. They must
not be installed in a location that affects operator's safety in order to reach them in an emergency
situation.
• You must ensure that the payload structure is properly secured to the AMR.
• The payload or payload structure shall not be positioned in such a way that would put the operator
in danger while trying to reach an E-STOP button.
• You must perform a complete risk assessment for your payload design and the intended use of the
AMR prior to its operation.
• No modifications shall be made that affect the AMR payload capacity.
• Intentional movement of the payload structure (such as conveyor or arm) during the AMR movement
is prohibited. It is the end-user's responsibility to design an appropriate interlock to prevent this.
• For payload applications where you cannot easily reduce the size and weight of the payload, or if
the AMR’s center of gravity is not within the recommended limits, contact your local OMRON repre-
sentative for support.
• The tilt detection feature will not prevent an improperly loaded AMR from toppling.
