Cutting height
Use this option to calibrate cutting height values.
Cutting height values need to be calibrated if:
•
erroneous (negative) cutting height values are
displayed
•
a cutting head has been replaced
•
the belt lifting the cutting heads has been modi-
fied or replaced
During the calibration procedure, the cutting heads will
lift to their maximum height. Their position during this
movement is the raw position. When the maximum
height is reached, it is the homing position. The homing
position is assigned a scalar value. When the homing
position is reached, lower the cutting heads to the
required height.
1)
To calibrate the cutting height, press
to
select
Calibrate now,
then press
.
2)
The robot will move the cutting heads up to the
maximum height. The cutting heads will then be
lowered to the required height.
3)
When the value is OK, set the required cutting
height.
4)
If there is a problem, examine the cutting heads
and see if there is anything blocking the move-
ment over the complete range.
Information
Options in the Information menu include:
•
Total distance -
This is the total distance (in
meters) traveled by the robot to date. Use this
information to decide when maintenance is
required.
•
Bumper resistance -
Displays the current value of
the bumper resistance. The correct range is
82-94 k
Ω
.
•
Battery current -
Displays the value of the
battery current.
•
Battery voltage -
Displays the value of the
battery voltage.
Tests
Tests are only to be run by an authorized ECHO
Robotics Technician.
Complete the tests before the robot is delivered to a
customer, and at the end of a regular service.
To execute a test:
•
Press
to select the test(s) you want to
execute.
•
Press
to select the test.
•
Repeat this for all tests required.
•
Select
Start
and press
.
The robot will start executing each of the selected
tests. Follow the instructions given on the menu. Tests
option include:
1)
Charge -
This test checks if the robot can detect a
charge, and if the received charging current is
sufficient. When this option is selected, the
following information is displayed:
2)
Bumper -
This test checks that the electrical
resistance of the bumper is within the correct
X/Y CHARGE_LR
X represents the current test in the
current sequence.
Y represents the total number of tests to
be performed in the current sequence
Charge_LR is the name of the current
test.
Detect
This test displays whether the robot can
detect a voltage on the left and right
side.
KO means it can not detect a voltage on
the left or right side. OK means that it
can detect a voltage.
Current
This test displays whether a sufficient
charge current can be detected. The
value must be greater than 7A.
KO means it can not detect sufficient
charge current on the left or right side.
OK means that it can detect sufficient
charge current.
Discharge required for current test - This
message will display if the current
battery level is above 95%. It is best to
perform this test when the battery
charge level is lower.
Physical charge test
Connect one side of the robot to the
charging station.
The result will be displayed.
Repeat this for the other side.
If the results of the test are KO, check
the connections between the robot and
the charging station.
