The information in this manual does not include the design, installation and operation of a complete robot application, nor does it include all peripheral equipment that may affect the safety of the complete system. The design and use of the complete system need to comply with the safety requirements established in the standards and regulations of the country where the robot is installed. SCOUT MINI integrators and end customers have the responsibility to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of relevant countries, and to ensure that there are no major dangers in the complete robot application. This includes but is not limited to the following:

Table of Contents

1. Effectiveness and responsibility

• Make a risk assessment of the complete robot system. Connect the additional safety equipment of other machinery defined by the risk assessment together. Confirm that the design and installation of the entire robot system's peripheral equipment, including software and hardware systems, are correct.
• This robot does not have a complete autonomous mobile robot, including but not limited to automatic anti-collision, anti-falling, biological approach warning and other related safety functions. Related functions require integrators and end customers to follow relevant regulations and feasible laws and regulations for safety assessment. To ensure that the developed robot does not have any major hazards and safety hazards in actual applications.
• Collect all the documents in the technical file: including risk assessment and this manual. Know the possible safety risks before operating and using the equipment.

4. Operation

2. Environmental Considerations

• For the first use, please read this manual carefully to understand the basic operating content and operating specification.
• For remote control operation, select a relatively open area to use SCOUT MINI, because SCOUT MINI is not equipped with any automatic obstacle avoidance sensor. Use SCOUT MINI always under 0℃~40℃ ambient temperature.
• If SCOUT MINI is not configured with separate custom IP protection, its water and dust protection will be IP22 ONLY

3. Pre-work Checklist

• Make sure each device has sufficient power.
• Make sure SCOUT MINI does not have any obvious defects.
• Check if the remote controller battery has sufficient power.
• In remote control operation, make sure the area around is relatively spacious.
• Carry out remote control within the range of visibility.
• The maximum load of SCOUT MINI is 20KG. When in use, ensure that the payload does not exceed 20KG.
• When installing an external extension on SCOUT MINI, confirm the position of the center of mass of the extension and make sure it is at the center of rotation.
• Please charge in tine when the device is low battery alarm. When SCOUT MINI has a defect, please immediately stop using it to avoid secondary damage.
• When SCOUT MINI has had a defect, please contact the relevant technical to deal with it, do not handle the defect by yourself.
• Always use SCOUT MINI in the environment with the protection level requires for the equipment.
• Do not push SCOUT MINI directly.
• When charging, make sure the ambient temperature is above 0℃.

5. Maintenance

• If the tire is severely worn or burst, please replace it in time.
• If the battery does not use for a long time, it needs to charge the battery periodically in 2 to 3 months.

6. Attention

• This Section includes some precautions that should be paid attention to for SCOUT MINI use and development.

7. Battery precautions

• The battery supplied with SCOUT MINI is not always fully charged in the factory setting, but its specific power capacity can be displayed on the voltmeter at tail end of SCOUT MINI chassis or read via CAN bus communication interface. Once the green indicator light of charger is switched on, it means the battery recharging is completed, but after this indicator light is on, the battery will still be charged slowly with 0.1A current for possibility about 30 minutes.
• Please do not charge the battery after its power has been depleted, and please charge the battery in time when low battery level alarm on SCOUT MINI is on.
• Static storage conditions: The best temperature for battery storage is -10℃ to 45℃; in case of storage for no use, the battery must be recharged and discharged once about every 2 months, and then stored in full voltage state. Please do not put the battery in fire or heat up the battery, and please do not store the battery in high-temperature environment.
