Page 18: Functional Principle
Functional principle Functional prin- Once the cleaning device is connected to the mains power supply, the mains ciple voltage indicator lights up. The capacitors, which store energy for the clean- ing operation, are discharged and no outputs are activated. NOTE! Before the capacitors can be charged, the cleaning device must be connected to both the mains power supply and the robot control. - Page 19 Once the cleaning operation is complete, the program sequence restarts by checking the device's temperature. If there was a problem during the clean- ing operation, the "Error" signal is output. The cleaning device resumes char- ging the capacitors. Once ready to clean ("Ready"), a second cleaning opera- tion can be started.
