2.15 Interlock Switches
The HD-1500 is equipped with the interlock switches located on the battery door, and the
AMR side skins. The interlock switches continuously monitor and ensure that the battery door,
and the side skins are properly attached to the platform. This is to ensure that the battery com-
partment as well as the electronics bay enclosure are isolated, and protected from unau-
thorized/unsafe access. If the battery door, or any of the side skins opens or get removed, the
interlock switches disable the AMR's motion and disable power to the main bus bars.
CAUTION:
BURN RISK
Do not touch the AMR drive wheel motors when the side skins are removed,
as the drive wheel motors can get extremely hot during the operation. You
must allow sufficient time for the drive wheel motors to cool down prior to
coming into contact with them.
