Chapter 7: Operation
Before proceeding with any tasks described in this chapter, you should complete the pro-
cedures described in the Setup and Getting Started chapters, including map creation.
7.1 Operating Environment
Intended Use
The LD-250 is designed to operate in indoor industrial environments. In general, if a wheel-
chair user can safely and easily navigate the environment (open, and mostly flat with only
gentle inclines and wide doorways), then it is navigable by an LD-250.
DANGER: PERSONALINJURYRISK
There is risk of serious injury by crushing if the AMR tips over as a result of
improper operation on inclines that do not comply with the operating spe-
cifications.
The following guidelines apply:
l
Floor—Clean and dry floors that you sweep regularly and routinely keep free of debris,
dust, and liquids.
l
Typical Inclines—The LD-250 is intended to operate in a workspace that has a mostly
flat floor. If the workspace includes inclined areas, Omron recommends a gentle incline
typical of wheelchair ramps. Be aware that the payload structure and any loads trans-
ported can:
l
Reduce the AMR's ability to traverse an incline.
l
Change its operating center of gravity (CG).
l
Inclines (Ramps)—With a properly designed and stable payload, the LD-250 can oper-
ate on ramps at full payload capacity. However, extended periods of operation on
ramps will affect battery duration and speed is limited to 600 mm/sec on inclines such
as ramps. Operational recommendations are:
Slope
Payload Restric-
tion
Speed Limit
1.7 degrees (3% grade) No restriction No restriction
3 degree slope 200 kg 600 mm/s
4.75 degrees (1:12 slope, typical wheelchair
ramp)
165 kg 600 mm/s
l
Temperature—5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F), with a recommended humidity range of 5% to
95%, non-condensing. Operating the LD-250 at high or low ambient temperatures (par-
ticularly with a full payload and high speeds) can cause the battery to exceed its oper-
ating temperature limits. If this happens, you are notified by escalating software
