7.5 Other Controls and Indicators
A beacon or light tower is not included with the HD-1500. You can optionally supply and
install such a device if required. To comply with relevant standards, the sequence of the lights,
from top down, must be red, yellow, and green.
Factory-supplied payload structures often include a beacon.
This section describes light indicators on the platform and AMR Controller.
Light Discs and Beacon
The platform has circular lights on the sides that indicate motion, turns, and several other
states.
A user-supplied beacon, typically mounted on the AMR payload structure, can provide extra
signaling. The beacon indicates movement, and signals an Operator that the AMR is waiting
for assistance. For information on user-supplied beacon connection, see: LIGHTS on page 163.
The light disc and user-supplied beacon states are described here, and summarized in the fol-
lowing 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 in
this case.
Turn Signal
The blue drive indicators will include a blinking orange segment at the front of one light disc
to indicate that the platform is about to turn in the direction of the signal.
When the drive wheels rotate in opposite direction, the direction of the blue drive indicators
will indicate the direction of the drive wheel rotation.
Beacon blinks green in this case.
Stopped (no errors), or Booting
Entire light disc on each side pulses blue slowly (0.25 Hz). Beacon is steady green when
stopped with no errors or booting.
