Chapter 3: Setup
Installing the Docking Station
The automated docking station can be used for either manual or automated charging of your
LD Platform Cart Transporter's battery.
The docking station sits on the floor. It can be attached to a wall with the wall bracket,
attached directly to the floor with screws through its base, or it can sit stand-alone on the floor
with the floor plate, all of which will keep the docking station from moving when the trans-
porter docks. Each docking station comes with a wall bracket and floor plate.
NOTE:
It is very important that the docking station be mounted with one of
these methods, or the transporter will simply move the docking station when it
tries to dock, rather than docking successfully.
Regardless of mounting method:
l
Locate the docking station near an AC outlet with 1-2 m (3.25-6.5 ft) of clear space
around the unit to ease the transporter’s maneuvers onto the docking station.
l
When docked, the rear-facing laser extends almost 5 inches beyond the back of the dock-
ing station. Ensure that you leave enough free space behind the back of the docking sta-
tion to allow clearance for this.
The wall-mount bracket provides enough room for this.
l
The top of the docking station foot is spring-loaded, and lifts off of the bottom of the foot
slightly to accommodate variations in the floor surface. The weight of the transporter
will push the top of the foot down.
Requirements
l
100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 8 A
The station's power converter automatically detects the source voltage.
l
Ambient operating temperature: 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F)
l
5% to 95% humidity, non-condensing
Wall Bracket Mount
NOTE:
This is the recommended method for mounting the docking station.
1. Attach the docking station mounting bracket to a wall, with the bottom edge of the
bracket 98±20 mm above the floor, using user-supplied anchors and screws. There is lee-
way, so you can adjust the height a little bit.
