2.3.2 Caution notes
• 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.
•

2.3.3 Notices
2.4 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 obstacles lower 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.
The ambient humidity in the robot’s environment must be within the specifications, see Technical
specifications on our website.
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.

2.5 Safety circuit
If a person or other moving object enters the safety zones of the robot where the planner due to
response time, errors etc. does not respond, the safety circuit will force the robot into emergency
stop, and the robot stops immediately. When the person or object is out of the safety zone again,
the robot will automatically reset the emergency stop.
MiR200™ is designed with total redundant electrical safety circuit including Sick Safety components.
If any internal errors in the safety circuit occur, the robot will immediately go into emergency stop
which means that all moving parts will be voltage free by mechanical disconnection. Only when the
redundancy is provided, it is possible to reset the emergency stop and continue.

4.4 Charging the robot
The robot arrives with a charged battery and can drive for up to three hours before recharging is
required.
Follow these steps to charge the robot using the enclosed charging cable:
Step Action
1 Remove the rear corner by pulling it towards
you. You may have to apply a bit of force the
first couple of times.
To avoid fast discharging, it is
recommended to turn off the
robot while charging.
Then attach the charger to the robot’s charging
socket and to a power outlet. Turn on the rocker
switch on the robot to begin charging.
Use only the original charging cable.
2 After a maximum of four and a half hours, the robot is fully charged. The robot emits a green light
when the battery is full.
3
Turn off the rocker switch and disconnect the charging cable from the robot. Slide the corner cover
back on.
The robot detects both cable and activated charging-button and will go into
emergency stop in both cases.
