Chapter 6: Operation
There is a second pop-up that will say the E-Stop has been cleared, and you need to click
Enable to re-enable the motors.
ON Button
The ON button is used for restoring power after the OFF button has been pressed, and the soft-
ware has finished shutting down the AIV.
It can also be used to restore power after an E-Stop has been pressed.
OFF Button
The red OFF button removes power from all systems except the charging hardware circuits.
The platform's software systems prevent loss of data on shutdown, and save the platform’s
last known location so it automatically localizes when it is next powered on.
NOTE:The OFF button can be disabled by the keyswitch, which can be locked.
Brake-release Button
The brake-release is used when you need to manually move the platform.
Battery power is required to release the brakes.
Keyswitch
The keyswitch can be used to disable the OFF button. The key can be removed in either the
locked or unlocked positions.
6.5 Other Controls and Indicators
When sold by itself, the Lynx platform does not come with a beacon or light tower. These
would need to be user-supplied. Adept-supplied Lynx-based AIVs often include a beacon. The
Lynx core has a Light Pole port that supports the beacon behavior described here.
Light Discs and Beacon
Circular lights on the sides of the Lynx platform are used to indicate motion, turns, and sev-
eral other states.
A user-supplied beacon, usually on the AIV dome, can be used for extra signaling. A beacon is
used to indicate movement and to signal an Operator that the AIV is waiting for assistance.
Their states are described here, and summarized in the following tables.
Driving Straight
Blue arcs on each side of the platform will appear to rotate in the direction of the platform's
travel, to let nearby people know that it is moving (or about to move). Beacon blinks green.
