4 Attention

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

4.1 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;

Charging: The battery must be charged with a dedicated lithium battery charger; please do not charge the battery below 0℃ and do no use non-originally standard batteries, power supplies and chargers.

4.2 Application environment precautions

The operating temperature of SCOUT MINI is -10℃ to 45℃; please do not use it below -10℃ and above 45℃ ;

The requirements for relative humidity in the use environment of SCOUT MINI are: maximum 80%, minimum 30%;

Please do not use it in the environment with corrosive and flammable gases or closed to combustible substances;

Do not place it near heaters or heating elements such as large coiled resistors, etc.;

Except for specially customized version (IP protection class customized), SCOUT MINI is not water-proof, thus please do not use it in rainy, snowy or water-accumulated environment;

The elevation of recommended use environment should not exceed 1,000m;

The temperature difference between day and night of recommended use environment should not exceed 25℃;

4.3 Precautions for electrical external extension

For the extended power supply, the current should not exceed 5 A and the total power should not exceed 120 W;

When the system detects that the battery voltage is lower than the safe voltage class, external power supply extensions will be actively switched to. Therefore, users are suggested to notice if external extensions involve the storage of important data and have no power-off protection.

4.4 Safety precautions

In case of any doubts during use, please follow related instruction manual or consult related technical personnel;

Before use, pay attention to field condition, and avoid mis-operation that will cause personnel

Without technical support and permission, please do not personally modify the internal equipment structure.

4.5 Other notes

SCOUT MINI has plastic parts in front and rear, please do not directly hit those parts with excessive force to avoid possible damages;

When handling and setting up, please do not fall off or place the vehicle upside down;

For non-professionals, please do not disassemble the vehicle without permission.
