Introduction
System Overview
The robotic cleaner sweeps the pool floor and walls collecting dirt and debris
in its filters. This user manual explains how to operate the robotic cleaner,
including cleaning, maintenance and storage procedures. Note: This manual
reviews several different models with variations in components.
Robotic cleaner operation
Once the robotic cleaner is placed in the pool and activated, it operates
according to its program. It moves along the floor and walls of the pool,
covering the entire area of the pool floor and walls. When it has finished its
program, it remains inactive on the pool floor. Power will automatically shut
off. Note: It’s not recommended to stop the pool cleaner prior to cycle end.
Note: Wall climbing is an optional feature. When the wall climbing feature is
enabled, the robotic cleaner climbs the wall at intervals according to its
internal program. Its ability to climb over stairs in the swimming pool is
subject to stair geometry and material.
Operating conditions
The robotic cleaner is intended for use in residential swimming pools only and
in the following conditions: (1) Recommended water temperature 22°C-32°C
(72°F-90°F). (2) Water pH : 7.2 – 7.6 (3) Chlorine level: pool is maintained
according to the pool manufacturer’s instructions. (Recommended Chlorine
level: 2-4 ppm) Note: Failure to maintain the pool according to the
recommended operating conditions could prevent the robotic cleaner from
functioning properly..
Components
Operation
Placement of the Power Supply Place the power supply at least 3.6 meters / 11.8 feet from the pool and at least 12 cm above ground. CAUTION: The power supply is not water resistant; it must not be exposed to water or to direct sunlight. Press the plastic snap on the zip ties in order to release the floating cable. Use as much cable as needed in the water.
Before placing the cleaner unit in the water
Make sure there are no people in the pool. Make sure that the filters are
clean. Make sure the pool conditions are met; (see “Operating Conditions”).
Placing cleaner in the water
Unroll the floating cable. It is recommended to extend a length of cable that
is equal to the diagonal size of the pool plus an additional two meters.
Smooth out coils or twists in the cable. Connect the floating cable to the
socket located on the power supply. Roll extra cable, not in the pool, near
the power supply. Place the robotic cleaner in the pool. Let it sink to the
bottom of the pool. Do not start operation before the robotic cleaner is
settled on the pool floor. CAUTION: Operating the cleaner out of water may
cause immediate and severe damage resulting in loss of warranty.
Starting the robotic cleaner
Connect the power supply to the wall socket. The on/off button will light up
and the robotic cleaner will start its cleaning program. If the power supply
is already connected to the wall socket, the on/off button will flash to
indicate that the robotic cleaner is in standby mode. Press the On/Off button
in order to change the above mode (On to Off – standby, or vice versa). Note:
if the full filter indication light is ON make sure to remove and clean the
filter prior to putting the cleaner inside the pool water.
Cleaning cycle
During the cleaning cycle, the cleaner: moves across the pool floor picking up
dirt and debris. Changes direction and rotates automatically according to the
selected program. Climbs the pool walls every few minutes, as set in its
internal program. Note: The robotic cleaner might occasionally stop moving for
a few seconds. This is part of normal operation, not a malfunction.
Stopping robotic cleaner operation
The robotic cleaner moves automatically to ‘standby’ after every cleaning
cycle and the on/off button starts flashing. To stop the cleaner operation
during a cleaning cycle, press the operation button once. On/off button starts
flashing and the cleaner is in standby mode.
Pulling cleaner unit out of the water
(1) Unplug the floating cable from the power supply. (2) Pull the floating
cable until the unit is close enough to reach the handle. (3) Using the
handle, lift the cleaner out of the pool. CAUTION: Do not use the floating
cable to lift the cleaner out of the water.
The power supply is connected to the robotic cleaner via the floating cable
(1). The unit is powered by AC power (2) and supplies low-voltage and commands
to the robotic cleaner through the outlet socket. The power supplies feature a
control panel with indicators:
- a. On/Off (all models)
- b. Full filter indicator (models 200 & 250 only)
- c. Bluetooth indicator (models 200 & 250 only)
