WARNING
If the optional Side Lasers are present, ensure that the payload structure does not ob-
struct their scanning plane. This will affect the function of the Side Lasers and reduce
their effectiveness in detecting obstacles.
Precautions for Correct Use
• 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 scratch-
ing the laser lens during any maintenance or installation procedures.

Spare Battery
At least one spare battery is required if you choose to exchange the AMR’s battery rather than using
the automatic charging function at a Docking Target. Avoid exchanging the battery frequently.
Refer to Charging a Battery Outside of the AMR on page 4-26 for more information.

Mobile I/O Box
The Mobile I/O box is a small external unit that interfaces with an AMR or fleet of AMRs wirelessly. It
can be used to:
1. Summon an AMR to a goal with the Call Function.
2. Use External Digital I/O for control of connected devices. These can be associated with AMR relat-
ed actions like opening a door for an AMR.
The Mobile I/O Box is intended to be part of an environment with AMRs controlled by a Fleet Manager.
Refer to Mobile I/O Box User's Manual (Cat. No. I677) for more information.

High Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS)
The High Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS) is an optional hardware feature that allows the AMR to
stop at a position with greater accuracy. This system uses AMR mounted sensors to detect magnetic
tape applied to the floor near the stop position.
One sensor allows accurate positioning driving forward. If your AMR needs to drive both forward and
backward along the magnetic tape, two sensors are required.
A single sensor HAPS Kit (part number 73925-010) and a double sensor HAPS Kit (part number
73925-020) are available.
A typical HAPS application consists of a goal on the AMR's map, a length of magnetic tape, and one
marker. The goal will have tasks that direct the AMR to proceed to the tape, follow the tape, and stop
at the marker.
Refer to 3-7 HAPS Installation and Configuration on page 3-29 for more information.

Cell Alignment Positioning System
The Cell Alignment Positioning System (CAPS) is an optional software feature that provides higher re-
peatability for AMR positioning. CAPS technology uses the AMR's sensors to detect a user-defined
