Areas where the robot drives with muted Protective fields and areas with inadequate clearance
must be marked as operating hazard zones with signal tape or similar marking material. For more
information about when the robot mutes its Protective fields, see "Personnel detection" on
page123.
To create a sufficiently large operating hazard zone, the marking must be at least one meter away
from the potentially hazardous area in all directions.
Robots may need more space to operate than the required operating hazard zone. Consider
expanding operating hazard zones to include the required free space for operation to ensure that
the robot can operate smoothly. For the robot's space requirements, see the space requirements
guide for your robot on the Support portal or see the specifications for your robot on the MiR
website.
It is not allowed to have work stations in operating hazard zones.
You can add zones to the map in the robot interface to mitigate the risks to personnel in
operating hazard zones. We recommend considering whether adding the following zones can
reduce the risks in an operating hazard zone:
• Speed zones can be used to reduce the speed of the robot to the minimum robot speed.
• Sound and light zones can be used to add acoustic and visual warnings when the robot drives
into the zones.
For more information about zones, see the MiRRobotInterfaceGuide.
Docking to a marker
When docking to a marker, the robot mutes its Protective fields temporarily—see "Markers" on
page158. This prevents the robot from entering Protective stop when it drives very close to the
marker. Because the robot mutes its Protective fields, the area must be marked as an operating
hazard zone.
The muting starts when the robot reaches the Entry position approximately one meter from the
marker. To indicate this to people nearby, MiR250 Hook slows down and starts blinking orange,
using the eight signal lights on the corners of the robot.
