Installation & Operation
The Pioneer Arm’s control electronics and server software are factory installed and configured, but the
arm is detached and shipped separately for safety.
Mounting the Arm to Your Pioneer Robot
After carefully unpacking and inspecting the Pioneer Arm, robot, and accessories, manually fold the
Pioneer Arm into its
HOME
position. Then secure the Arm to the prepared top plate at the front of your
robot:
CAUTION
Always align your Pioneer Arm into it’s
HOME
position before use.
1.
Put the Pioneer Arm into its
HOME
position: The tip of the Arm’s V-shaped mounting base should
point towards the rear of the robot, and the arm should be folded towards the back of its base.
2.
Use the hex wrench that came with your robot and one of the mounting screws to secure the
arm’s base tip to the robot’s top plate just in front of the access port. Freely rotate the arm
around its base to access the mounting holes.
3.
Align the two other mounting holes on each side and at the front of the Pioneer Arm’s base plate
with their respective holes on the robot’s top plate and secure with the provided mounting screws.
4.
Mate with the signal and power connector attached to the arm with the one that comes up
through the robot’s maintenance port on the top plate. Insert wired harnesses back into the body
of the robot.
