5.1.6 Demonstration Mode
Use this mode to demonstrate the performance of the
robot before installation of the peripheral wire.
OPERATIONAL HAZARD
The robot will ignore the electromagnetic field gen-
erated by the peripheral wire when operating in
demonstration mode.
•
Do not leave the robot unsupervised when it is
operating in demonstration mode.
5.2 Inactive Modes
The Alarm Mode and Standby Mode will cause the
robot to enter an inactive mode.
5.2.1 Alarm Mode
When the robot encounters a problem it will register
an alarm and enter the inactive mode. When the cause
for the alarm has been corrected, the user can manu-
ally clear the alarm and the robot will then enter the
Standby mode. If no intervention takes place, the robot
will turn off and enter the OFF mode.
5.2.2 Standby Mode
The robot will enter the Standby mode if:
•
the autonomous mission has been stopped due
to an external command
•
an alarm situation has been corrected and the
alarm cleared by manual intervention
•
it is manually switched ON
The robot will leave the Standby mode when a
command is issued. It will then enter the Self Test
Mode before recommencing any activity.
5.2.3 Self Test Mode
Whenever the robot has been in the Standby Mode it
will perform a self test to check the integrity of the
entire system (including electronics, sensors,
mechanics and software). When the result of the self
test is successful, it will resume the autonomous
working state. If the result of the self test is not
successful, it will register an alarm.
5.2.4 OFF Mode
The robot will be in the OFF mode when:
•
it has been manually switched OFF
•
an alarm situation has not been corrected after a
certain period of time
6 Installation
The figure below illustrates the components of a single
field installation.
Only install the system on a field with a slope that is less
than or equal to 17°. If the slope is near the peripheral
wire, program the robot to return to the charging
station by descending the slope.
