WARNING
If the optional Side Lasers are present, ensure that the payload structure does not ob-
struct their scanning plane. This will affect the function of the Side Lasers and reduce
their effectiveness in detecting obstacles.
Precautions for Correct Use
• If it is not possible to prevent some interference between the payload and the Side Lasers'
sensing plane, the
LaserIgnore
parameter can be used to constrain sensing to zones that do
not include the payload. However, this method might compromise the detection ability of the
sensors and should be avoided if possible.
• Factory installed Side Lasers are protected by guards. If you relocate the Side Lasers, con-
sider using protective guards to prevent damage. Make sure that user-installed guards do not
block the scanning area or extend outward excessively.

Spare Battery
At least one spare battery is required if you choose to exchange the AMR’s battery rather than using
the automatic charging function at a Docking Target.
Refer to
Charging a Battery Outside of the AMR
on page 4-25 for more information.

High-accuracy Positioning System
The High-Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS) is a sensor that detects magnetic tape applied to the
floor. HAPS allows the AMR to very accurately align itself at a specific location, such as a fixed con-
veyor.
A protective covering needs to be installed when applying the magnetic tape to the floor to prevent
damage from the AMR traffic. OMRON does not provide the protective coverings with the HAPS op-
tion. The protective covering must be supplied by the user.
The factory-supplied component is the HAPS sensor itself. The standard AMR includes all wiring if a
HAPS sensor needs to be added. One sensor allows accurate positioning driving forward. If your AMR
needs to drive both forward and backward along the magnetic tape, two sensors are required.
Tape is applied to the floor leading up to the station or conveyor that you want the AMR to approach
closely. Markers (short sections of the tape) are used to signal the AMR where to stop.
The simplest installation consists of a goal on the AMR‘s map, a length of magnetic tape, and one
marker. The goal will have tasks that direct the AMR to proceed to the tape, follow the tape, and stop
at the marker. Refer to
3-9 HAPS Installation and Configuration
on page 3-30 for more information.
For locations with multiple places where you want the AMR to stop, use a continuous tape strip with
one marker at each stop (one goal for each marker) and an Engage task for each goal. The goals
would all be at the same location, near the start of the tape. The Engage tasks allow an AMR to follow
the tape performing tasks from the successive goals without ever needing to return to the location of
the goals.
The following figure displays the mounting locations for the HAPS sensors.
