Notes on safety
2.1
General
•
Trainees and students must only work on the Robotino
®
under the supervision of an instructor or
teacher.
•
Observe the data in the data sheets for the individual components, in particular all notes on safety!
•
The Robotino
®
may only be packed in the fully switched-off state.
2.2
Electrics
•
Electrical connections are to be wired up or disconnected only when power is disconnected!
•
Use only low voltages of up to 24 V DC.
•
Earth the Robotino
®
housing (“command bridge”) before opening it. Remove the housing without
touching any electrical components. Watch out for electrostatic discharge.
•
Always position the command bridge vertically so as not to damage the raised pin contact.
•
Modifications to the wiring or conversions in the command bridge are carried out at your own risk and
nullify the warranty. Only use genuine spare parts.
•
Disconnect power supply unit from Robotino
®
after charging. If the power supply unit is disconnected
from the mains but left connected to Robotino
®
, it can discharge/damage the batteries.
•
Ensure that the batteries are not shorted at any time because of explosion and fire hazard!
2.3
Mechanics
•
Move the Robotino
®
only by carefully seizing it by its handles.
•
Securely mount all components on the chassis.
•
No manual intervention unless the Robotino
®
is at rest.
•
Never touch the wheels of Robotino
®
! Depending on the program, the wheels could suddenly start
turning. To increase the resistance at the wheel, press Robotino
®
into the floor (e.g. for exercises on the
PID controller). Take note of the warning signs at the wheels!
•
Robotino
®
features a precision laser-cut and laser-welded stainless steel design; Watch out for sharp
edges when working with it (cable routing, mechanical assembly/disassembly).
•
When removing one of the wheel covers make sure hair and clothes are not near to the wheels.
•
When removing the assembly tower secure the load.
