Site preparation
Bear in mind that the conditions at the worksite play a crucial role in the success of a job.
Ensure that the robot is used under the following conditions:
● Do not store any materials in the layout area.
● Cover any holes into which the robot could fall, or in which its wheels could get stuck.
● Avoid dark or black surfaces or areas with water spots, as they may cause reflections that could
trigger the safety sensors and stop the robot.
● Do not use the robot in temperatures above 40°C (104°F) or below −10°C (14°F).
● Do not use the robot in heavy rain or extremely dusty environments.
● The robot’s recommended maximum distance from the total robotic station, without obstacles,
ensuring the same level of accuracy across the printed area is 91 m (300 ft).
● The robot’s recommended minimum distance from the total robotic station, without obstacles,
ensuring the same level of accuracy across the printed area is 5 m (16.4 ft).
