Precautions for Correct Use
• Using the Fleet Manager or map features is not a substitute for physical methods of prevent-
ing collisions, such as interlocked gateways or barriers. It is the user's responsibility to pro-
vide 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 pow-
ered ON in a location that can be accessed by other AMRs.
Additional Information
• The AMR requires wireless communications when operating within a fleet. Refer to
3-4-3 Wireless Connection on page 3-17 for more information.
• Details for the use and configuration of the functions are covered in the Fleet Operations
Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635) and the Fleet Simulator User's Manual (Cat.
No. I649).

Additional E-STOP Buttons
Additional user-supplied E-STOP buttons can be added if necessary. An operator should be able to
easily reach an E-STOP button from any angle without reaching across the moving AMR or any mov-
ing payload parts. Per relevant safety standards, E-STOP buttons must be placed within 600 mm
reach of the operator. A large or complex payload structure may require additional E-STOP buttons.
WARNING
If you are using a user-supplied E-STOP, you must perform commissioning to verify
the emergency stop functionality before putting the AMR into service.
CAUTION
All E-STOP buttons must be located in areas that are easy to reach and within 600
mm of personnel. It is the end user's responsibility to ensure that any additional E-
STOP buttons are placed in a location where the operator can easily access them in
an emergency situation.
Precautions for Safe Use
The emergency stop or protective stop devices you install on the AMR must have a dual chan-
nel circuit to ensure the same performance level as the other safety devices of the AMR.
Additional Information
• Refer to 3-5-1 User Connections Area on page 3-19 for more information about additional E-
STOP connections.
• If no additional E-STOP buttons are added, a jumper must be placed on the SCPU port. Re-
fer to SCPU on page 3-20 for more information.

Additional Signal Beacons
The AMR must include highly visible indicators appropriate for its application. In most cases, the light
discs on the sides of the AMR provide sufficient indication, but this must be evaluated when a payload
structure is implemented.
