2.5 Safety Devices
2.5.1 Emergency Stop Button
An emergency stop button (2, fig. 10, page 2-10) is installed on the top
of the JUNO 150.
When the button is pressed, the JUNO 150 immediately stops operation.
To reset the emergency stop button, turn the button clockwise and pull
it out until it locks.
2.5.2 Protection Ring
The JUNO 150 has a rubber protection ring (3, fig. 10, page 2-10) that
stops the vehicle immediately when the vehicle hits an object that is at
least 60 cm above floor level. The reaction of the JUNO 150 depends on
the object type.
• If the vehicle hits a solid object (for instance a tractor), the JUNO 150
drives back until there is no contact with the obstacle. After 2 seconds
the vehicle tries to continue its route. If it hits the object again, it
drives back again (until there is no contact), stops and generates an
alarm message.
• If the vehicle hits an object that is not solid, or if a cow bites the ring,
the vehicle waits 2 seconds and tries to continue its route. If the
collision detector is activated 4 more times (within 50 cm), the vehicle
stops and generates an alarm message.
The protection ring has a pulse on it while the JUNO 150 is driving a
route.
2.5.3 Safety Bracket
The safety bracket (1, fig. 10, page 2-10) on the front actuates the
protection ring when it hits an object that is less than 60 cm above floor
level. The JUNO 150 immediately stops.
2.5.4 Interlocking Lid
The JUNO 150 has an interlocking lid that shuts off the power whenever
it is opened. The JUNO 150 stops immediately when the lid is opened.
The detector is integrated in the emergency stop button device.
2.5.5 Acoustic Warning Device
An acoustic warning device alerts persons and cows when the vehicle
starts to move or moves.
• Before the JUNO 150 leaves the charging station a long beep is sound
• During the route short term beeps are sound.
The acoustic warning device is in the E-Link manual controller.
2.5.6 Hardware Safety Protection
All safety devices are controlled by software and hardware. If the
software fails, the hardware takes over.
