Assessing a site
Before setting up RV13 Model Mover you need to assess the site , paying
particular attention to the following points:

Is the ground or floor firm enough and level enough? You
might have to use boards or bricks to create a level surface. The
surface needs to be strong enough to take the weight of RV13
Model Mover 264kg plus weights 280kg of weights (2x140kg).

Does the site have access? You need to make sure you can
either push RV13 Model Mover into position on its wheels or
carry it there using a pallet truck or forklift.

Does the site have a power source with sufficient capacity for
the robot and the correct mains voltage?
– RV13 Model Mover requires a 230V, single-phase power
supply via a 16Apower connector .
– The computer stack that controls RV13 Model Mover
(that is, the desktop computer and the power supply brick
for the RT-14 interface box) are auto-switching and can
run on 120-240 Volts AC.

Does the site have unusual environmental attributes that
require specialised protection from extreme temperatures,
humidity, rain, or dust?
Installation safety

Due to the large mass of the rigs and the accelerations they
achieve it is important that they are securely mounted, with the
recommended plates and bolts to a secure and concrete floor.

Ensure the floor can support the load and the stresses (see
above).

Ensure the power supply is properly earthed (grounded) and of
the correct voltage (see above).

If the rig is mounted to something other than the floor then
the mount should be heavy and strong enough to take the
forces and not move or fall over during sudden starts and
stops. Use the recommended minimum thickness steel plates.
