Why marking is required
When docking to a charging station, the robot mutes its Personnel detection means
temporarily. This includes turning off the protective fields around the scanner.
The muting starts when the robot reaches the entry position approximately one meter from
the charging station marker. To indicate this to people nearby, MiR500/MiR1000 slows down
and starts blinking yellow, using the eight indicator lights on the corners of the robot.
To avoid potentially hazardous situations as a consequence of the Muted personnel detection
means, you must mark the physical area around MiRCharge48V with tape or similar.
Marking the safety area
The size of the marked area is based on the robot’s path going to the charging station and
takes into account that the robot may have to make a turn of up to 90° when docking to the
charging station.
