Use and operation.

• The basic operating procedure of startup is shown as follows:

Check

• Check the condition of HUNTER 2.0. Check whether there are significant anomalies; if so, please contact the after-sale service personal for support.
• Check the state of emergency-stop switches. Make sure both emergencies stop buttons are released.
• For first-time use, check whether Q3 (drive power supply switch) on the rear panel has been pressed down; if so, please release it, and then the drive will be powered off.

Startup

• Press Q3 button, and normally, the voltmeter will display correct battery voltage and front and rear lights will be both switched on.
• Check the battery voltage, the normally voltage range is 24~26.8V, if there is continuous “beep-beep-beep...” sound from beeper, it means the battery voltage is low, please charge the battery.

Shutdown

• Press the button Q3 to cut off the power supply.

Emergency stop

• Press down emergency push button on the top of HUNTER 2.0 chassis body.

Basic operating procedure of remote control

• After the chassis of HUNTER 2.0 mobile robot is started correctly, turn on the RC transmitter and push the SWB to the remote-control mode, then, HUNTER 2.0 platform movement can be controlled by the RC transmitter.

Parking

• The parking brake adopts a power off electromagnetic band type brake to realize the parking function, so when the chassis is running, the parking function must be turned off before moving.
• In the remote-control mode, SWA is the parking function switch. You can control movement after turning the stick to the top to turn off the parking function. Turn the stick to the bottom to turn on the parking mode, if the chassis speed is not 0 at this time, it will automatically decelerate to 0 and turn on the parking function.
• In the command mode, the parking mode is the default when the power is turned on. At this time, there is no response to the speed command, and the parking release command needs to be sent before the speed command can be sent for control. If you need to park after the motion control is completed, just send a parking command.
