DIRT SENSOR
(SOME MODELS)
The dirt sensor light system is mounted on
the Power-Mate ®nozzle near the reset but-
ton. It consists of a series of two red lights
and two green lights.
The lights give you
an indicationof
the amount of dirt
particles that are
passing through
the sensor on its
way to the dust
bag.
INITIAL STARTUP
When the Power-Mate ®isfirst started, the fol-
lowing light sequence occurs in a two second
time frame:
1, Two reds come on,
2. Two greens are on and will remain on until
the Power-Mate ® nozzle is placed in use.
NOTE: If the nozzle is on a surface that has
dirt on it, dirt wilt be picked up by the vacuum
and the red lights might stay on.
IN OPERATION
When the Power-Mate ®is being moved back
and forth on the floor, the lights will change
from one configurationto another as dirt is
being vacuumed,As long as the red lights
are on, dirt is passing through the wand to
indicatethat the surface still needs cleaning.
When the green lightsstay on as the Power-
Mate ®is moved back and forth over an area,
the sensor is not seeing enough dirt to war-
rant further cleaning of that area.
NOTE: Dirt sensor lights DO NOT function in
the FLOOR setting.
