Docking Station

SENSORS

Name Functional Description
Navigation Module By utilizing the principle of triangulation, which involves

emitting and receiving laser beams reflected by surrounding objects, precise distance measurement information between the DEEBOT and nearby objects can be calculated through algorithms. When the DEEBOT moves within a certain environment, the positions of surrounding objects are determined to create a spatial map of the DEEBOT’s surroundings. The measurement range is 0.8 m.
Obstacle Avoidance Module| With three sets of infrared transmitter and receiver pairs, it operates on the principle of infrared reflection to gauge obstacle distances by signal strength. The maximum detection range is approx. 10 cm.
Anti-drop Sensor| With infrared distance measurement, the infrared sensor can detect the distance between the bottom of DEEBOT and ground. DEEBOT will not move forward when there are stairs in front or the identified distance exceeds the preset threshold, realizing the Anti-drop. The trigger distance is approx. 60 mm.
Carnet Detection Sensor| The ultrasound probe can emit ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 300KHZ. The energy of the ultrasonic waves is absorbed by the carpet. If the reflected energy is below the threshold, the DEEBOT recognizes the presence of the carpet. According to ECOVACS lab tests, currently, over 50 types of carpets available on the market can be identified.
Edge Sensor| With infrared distance measurement, DEEBOT can detect the distance between itself and objects on its right side. When there is a wall or obstacle on the right side, DEEBOT will perform edge cleaning to avoid missing spots or collisions.
Anti collision Sensor| When the transmitted signal is blocked by an obstacle, the signal receiver will not be able to receive the signal. With this principle, the robot will avoid obstacles when colliding with them.

NOTES BEFORE CLEANING

Tidy up the area to be cleaned by putting furniture, such as chairs, in their proper place.

During the first use, make sure each room door is open to help DEEBOT fully explore your house. It may be necessary to place a physical barrier at the edge of a drop to stop the unit from falling over the edge.

| Put away objects including cables, cloths and slippers, etc. on the floor to improve the cleaning efficiency.
---|---
| Before using the product on a rug with tasseled edges, please fold the rug edges under.
| Please do not stand in narrow spaces, such as hallways, and make sure not to block sensors.
