General safety notes
MiR200™ Quick Start Robot Interface 2.0,
300004-en, 02/2018 v.1.4 11
General safety notes
• Ensure proper mounting of loads during transport
Danger of personal injury from overturning robot or falling load.
All accessories and loads mounted on top of the robot should be fastened correctly
and meet specifications.
• Avoid leakage of fluid during transport
Danger of personal injury from leaking fluid.
Make sure that loads containing fluids do not leak during transport.
• Use only the original charger
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Use of other charger than the one supplied by the manufacturer can ruin the battery
and may cause fire.
•
Update maps to avoid hazards on the route
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Make sure to update maps with areas without drive surfaces such as stairways.
• Update maps to avoid hazards on the route
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Make sure to update maps to avoid driving in hazardous zones such as close to
stairways.
• Do not drive vehicle irresponsibly
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The robot should not be driven over edges or in other ways operated irresponsibly.
• Do not use the robot to transport people
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The robot should never be used to transport people. This will revoke compliance
with the standard EN 1525 Safety for unmanned trucks.
•
Avoid gradients above 5% on the route
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The surface grade (ramps etc.) cannot exceed 5% as this may cause the robot to skid.
• Only drive on even and dry surface
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Wet and uneven surfaces may cause the robot to skid.
•
Do not overload the robot
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The maximum payload for the load on top of the robot is 200 kg 440 lbs kg. If
exceeded, it may cause overturning, falling load and damage to the robot.
• Do not use robot on board ships
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Unstable surface caused by moving vessel may cause the robot to skid.
• Turn off the main power immediately after removal of the top cover
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Turn off main power relay to avoid short circuit.

Lithium battery
MiR200™ Quick Start Robot Interface 2.0,
300004-en, 02/2018 v.1.4 12
Lithium battery
Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content designed to
represent the highest possible degree of safety.
• Indoor use only
Risk of damage to the robot.
The robot is made for indoor use only and should never be used outdoor.
• Avoid small objects on the floor in the robot’s area
Risk of property damage and/or minor damage to the robot.
The robot cannot detect objects smaller than 50 mm and may overrun smaller
objects.
• Remove unwanted objects from the floor in the robot’s area
Risk of inefficient execution of orders.
The robot will go around objects that are not parts of the map, but this may influence
the efficiency of the planned route.
• Avoid overheating of components
Risk of damage to the robot or robot components.
The ambient temperature in the robot’s environment must not exceed 50° C - 122° F.
• Avoid exposure of the robot to excessively humid or dry environment
Risk of damage to the robot or robot components.
Potential hazard
Lithium battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if they
are abused electrically or mechanically.
Observe the following precautions handling and using lithium batteries:
• Shut off the battery when not in use.
• Do not short-circuit, recharge or connect with false polarity.
• Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate
the battery.
• Do not crush, puncture or disassemble the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
• Do not allow the battery to get wet.
• In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the
battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
• Use only the original charger and always follow the instructions from the battery
manufacturer.
