2.5 Battery Safety
!
CAUTION:
BATTERY DAMAGE RISK
After receiving the battery, immediately charge to a full charge to avoid dis-
charging the battery below a usable state, which would require battery replace-
ment.
l
Never expose the battery to water. If the battery is leaking, submerge in mineral oil and
contact your local Omron Support.
l
In case of fire, use a type D extinguisher: foam, dry chemical, or CO
2
.
Maintenance
Every six months:
l
Inspect battery for damage or leaks
l
Place battery on a charger and allow to fully balance (battery shows all solid LEDs
when fully balanced). For more information, please refer to Balancing the Battery in the
Operation section of the LD Platform User's Guide (Cat. No. I611).
2.6 Intended Use
The AMR is designed to operate in indoor industrial or professional environments. In general,
if a wheelchair can safely and easily navigate the environment, then it is safe for the robot.
Guidelines for safe use:
l
Clean, dry floors — floors that are regularly swept, and routinely kept free of debris and
liquids.
IMPORTANT:
Since the robot is not water proof (IP20), floors must be
kept relatively dry, as any dampness can cause the wheels to slip. This
can cause problems for braking as well as navigation. Refer to 13849-2 for
instructions on how to test the robot in non-standard environments.
l
Inclines — As specified in the User's guide for a specific model.
l
Temperature — 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F), with a recommended humidity range of 5% to
95%, non-condensing.
Non-Intended Use
You must deploy the robot in a manner that takes into account potential risks to personnel
and equipment. The product is not intended for use in uncontrolled areas without risk ana-
lysis, for example, areas open to general public access. Use in such areas may require deploy-
ment of additional safety measures.
The AMRs are not intended for use in any of the following situations:
