Boot-up Screen
The following image shows the first screen that appears during boot-up when the AMR is turned ON.
4-13-4
ON Button
The ON button has the following functions.
• Turns the AMR ON. If the AMR is in the process of shutting down, the ON button is ignored until
shut down is completed.
• Enable motors after an emergency stop has occurred.
• An LED ring around the button illuminates solid green when the AMR is ON while the brake is not
engaged, and also during power-up, power-down operations.
Additional Information
There is a 2.5 second delay between when the ON button is pressed and the AMR resumes its
activity. During this time, the AMR scans its path for potential obstacles and will resume its com-
manded motion if there is adequate space to maneuver. Refer to 4-2 AMR Start-up on page 4-4
for more information.
4-13-5
OFF Button
The OFF button shuts down the AMR in a controlled manner. During shut-down after the OFF button
is pressed, the system saves the AMR's last known location so it automatically localizes when it is
powered ON again. An LED ring around the button flashes red during the shut-down procedure. Refer
to 4-3 AMR Shut-down on page 4-5 for more information.
When the AMR is shut down using the OFF button, it enters a standby state. In this state, some sys-
tems remain active and consume low power. For prolonged periods of AMR shut-down, use the OFF
button and then turn OFF the Main Disconnect Switch to prevent battery drain.
Precautions for Correct Use
• The Main Disconnect Switch should not be used as a frequent means of turning OFF the
AMR. Use the OFF button to turn OFF the AMR with a controlled shut-down method.
• Avoid moving the AMR while it is powered OFF. If you manually move the AMR while it is
powered OFF, it may not be able to determine its current location when it is powered ON
again. Use the localization feature in MobilePlanner to localize the AMR if this occurs.
