RECORDING FOR AUTONOMOUS MODE - CONTINUED
WHILE RECORDING IN COPYCAT OR FILL-IN MODES...
Operator is interrupted
1
If operator is interrupted during the recording process, release foot from Go Pedal to stop machine and step off the machine to stop all
functions. If operator steps off the machine at any time during the record process the machine will stop.
2
Remove the magnetic SmartKey and attend to other issues.
3
After returning step back onto the machine, replace the SmartKey and press the Record Switch (U) to resume recording.
Recording needs to be stopped
1
If recording process needs to be stopped (to re-fill solution tank, empty recovery tank etc.) release foot from Go Pedal to stop machine
movement and press the Play/Pause Switch (V) to stop recording.
2
The machine will not remember where it left off recording and plan must be re-recorded. After emptying recovery tank, refilling solution etc.,
return to starting point and re-record the plan.
TIPS FOR RECORDING A PLAN
• Be mindful of where you start a plan so it's not in a busy or congested area, but also in a logical place to start cleaning. Start point should
be in a location that's easy to remember and get to in the future since machine will need to be located there each time to start playback.
Machine will return to the start point at the end of cleaning a Fill-In plan.
• For CopyCat plans the start and end points do not need to be the same location.
• Be mindful of where you will end the plan (only for CopyCat) so that machine is not blocking a doorway or otherwise in the way when it
comes to a stop at the end of the plan.
• Start position should be near a flat wall when and if possible. It is recommended starting with the right side of the machine next to a wall.
• Record plan with the left side of the machine facing into the room.
• Fill-In plan must be a loop or it will fail to save. For example attempting to record a figure 8 plan will result in an error code.
• Fill-In plans must be recorded in a counter-clockwise direction. CopyCat plans can be recorded in any direction.
• When recording a Fill-In plan, make sure that the machine heading at the end of the path is aligned with the start heading (within 20
degrees) (see Figures 3-5 & 3-6) and not offset by more than about 1 foot. Note that after driving back through the start point you should
continue driving for another 25' (8m) until the machine comes to a stop. This extra overlap helps tie the ends of the plan together.
• For Fill-In plans; if machine is not replaying the recorded plan correctly, re-record the plan this time recording two loops. When the machine
stops on its own after recording the first loop plus 25' (8m), simply release and reapply the Go-Pedal (24) to resume recording the second
loop. See Figure 3-7. NOTE: If the machine does not stop on its own after driving the additional 25' (8m) it is an indication that two loops
should be driven to record the plan area.
• For best results record the plan at a time when there aren't people walking around in the area, so that people and moving obstacles are not
included in the saved plan.
• The machine's sensors can best detect obstacles within a recorded plan that are tall enough and thick enough (taller than 9" or thicker than
half an inch). If obstacles exist that are shorter or thinner than this they should be removed from the plan area prior to recording the plan or
place an object such as a tall garbage can in front of it to better record around.
• An exclusion zone can be created by using a tall garbage can for example placed over a floor outlet while recording. Once the recording is
done the garbage can is removed and the area will be avoided during replay.
• Two plans cannot have the same starting point. If two starting points are close to each other the machine will playback the plan which
has the starting point nearest to the machine. Any two starting points should be a minimum of 8 ft. (2.4m) apart. NOTE: Using a second
location tag would allow for two plans to have the same start point.
