Precautions for Correct Use
• Always observe the proper disassembly and handling of components for disposal.
• Never remove the battery while the AMR is powered ON. Always power OFF the AMR and then
place the Main Disconnect Switch in the OFF position before removing the battery.
• Never expose the battery to water.
• Rough or uneven floors can degrade the drive wheels, and shorten their life span.
• Replacement of the differential drive train, casters, and wheels require an OMRON service engineer.
Contact your local OMRON representative for more information.
• When speakers are used as a means of notifying personnel of an approaching AMR, you must rou-
tinely verify that they are still functioning normally. Verify that the speakers are audible, and the
sound level is at the same level as needed during the operation.
• Using the Fleet Manager or map features is not a substitute for physical methods of preventing colli-
sions, such as interlocked gateways or barriers. It is the user's responsibility to provide a physical
method of preventing collisions where necessary.
• Do not leave an AMR that is not localized, not connected to the Fleet Manager, or not powered ON
in a location that can be accessed by other AMRs.
• If it is not possible to prevent some interference between the payload and the Side Lasers' sensing
plane, contact your local OMRON representative for advanced configuration settings.
• Laser lenses can easily get scratched and damaged. Care must be taken to prevent scratching the
laser lens during any maintenance or installation procedures.
• Map creation is required before an AMR can be used for normal operation.
• For optimal performance of an MD-series AMR in a fleet, use a map created by an MD-series AMR
for the area in which it operates.
• The Integration Toolkit only runs on a Fleet Manager device.
• Minimize payload power consumption whenever possible to prevent excessive battery drain.
• Vertical orientation of the Power Supply Box allows for heat dissipation, which prevents overheating
and possible fire danger. Horizontal installation of the Power Supply Box is not allowed.
• The Docking Target will move during the docking attempts and cause docking and charging failures
if appropriate fasteners are not used.
• Do not over-torque the charging paddle adjustment screws if they reach their limits.
• When making adjustments to the charging paddle adjustment screws, always begin by turning in the
clockwise direction until the screw stops. Then, turn in the counter-clockwise direction to adjust for
correct position, but do not exceed seven turns in the counter-clockwise direction. If the screw is
turned beyond seven full rotations, correct charging paddle adjustment may not be possible and
OMRON support may be necessary.
• After making adjustments to the charging paddle, carefully observe the AMR as it approaches the
Docking Target and be prepared to press an E-STOP button if alignment is not correct.
• The Power Supply Box has cooling vents at the top and bottom of the unit. Do not block these
areas.
• The Main Disconnect Switch located on the electrical access panel controls current flow into the
Power Supply Box. When the switch is in the horizontal position, it is OFF and when it is in the verti-
cal position, it is ON.
• Consult your network systems administrator before using SetNetGo to change any default settings.
Refer to the Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635) for information about
modifying network settings.
