Always jack up the Robotino
®
if you do not want to work with the Robotino
®
or
would like to test individual functions! You can then easily check the functioning of
sensors or activate actuators without fear of a collision. In this way, the Robotino
®
is
always close at hand and can remain connected to the charging station.
With the supplied device, you can jack up the Robotino
®
such that the Robotino
®
wheels are freely movable and do not come into contact with the ground. To do so,
place the jacking device onto a stable and level surface with the rubber pads
pointing upwards. Then position the Robotino
®
onto the rubber pads. The Robotino
®
must be positioned onto the jack such as to ensure that the drive pinions are not
located on any of the rubber pads.
Always hold the Robotino
®
at the chassis when transporting it. Lifting the Robotino
®
from the command bridge can cause extensive damage to the sensitive electronics.
The front of the Robotino
®
is where the distance sensor 1 and the mounting facility
for the inductive sensor are located.
Any obstacles must extend as far as the ground since otherwise the collision
protection sensor will not respond. The same applies in the case of the distance
sensors. This is particularly important since otherwise damage may be caused to the
Robotino
®
.
Next, connect the battery charger to the appropriate cable of the batteries. The cable
is located behind the drive unit M1. The plug is under the ring of the base group.
Carefully pull this out and connect it to the charger by inserting the plug into the
socket, making sure that the latching clamps of the charger cable is clipped in. To
release the cable connection, you need to press the latching clamp and pull out the
plug at the same time.
Now switch on the Robotino
®
.
Press the On/Off button until the LED lights up.
