Athena2.0 unpacking
Placing Charging Base
Athena2.0 can be charged by returning to the charging base automatically, so the position of the charging base will affect the automatic return charging function of Athena2.0. When Athena2.0 returns to the charging station, it will generate propelling force. Therefore, it is best to place the charging stand with its back against the wall. The wall must meet the following conditions:

  • The charging base must be attached to the wall, without no obstacle in the middle, try to avoid the wall with skirting, etc.
  • The wall material cannot be high-permeability materials, such as mirror or glass
  • The wall width needs to be at least three times wider than the width of the charging stand
  • The wall must be a straight wall, not a curved wall

The charging base needs to be connected to a 220V power supply. The length of the external power cord of the charging base is 1.5m. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is a 220 V interface within 1.5m of the wall against which the charging base rests. The ground wiring harness is messy causing unnecessary trouble).

The ground in front of the charging base must meet the following conditions:

  • Open, with no obstacles within a radius of 2m in front of the charging stand as the center of the circle
  • Plane, no slope
  • The ground cannot be covered with soft carpet that causes Athena2.0 to sink more than 2cm

To ensure that Athena2.0 automatically returns to the charging function, it is necessary to ensure that Athena2.0 always starts from the charging base.
Note: If you want to change the position of the charging stand, you need to set the corresponding setting according to the position you need when loading the map. For detailed operations, please see the SDK corresponding interface operation document.

Interface Support
The intelligent elevator control provides a consistent API interface to the outside world, supports Bluetooth, MQTT, and HTTP communication protocols. Customers can control and interact with the elevator by writing their own program code. At the same time, it supports secondary development to meet the different customization needs of customers.

Swipe To Bypass
For some elevators that require a swipe card to ride, this product can also be easily supported. Just install the equipment we specify when installing the device, and then turn on the swipe card to bypass it in the APP. In this way, even if there is a card reader, it can be easily bypassed and freely enter and exit the elevator.

Unified Management
The cloud platform provided by SLAMTEC can perform real-time monitoring of the status of all deployed products, batch upgrades, and further data mining through online management, information statistics, equipment monitoring, etc., to provide exclusive accurate data models for hotels or commercial buildings, to guide them to improve their overall operational capabilities and service quality.
