Robotic pool cleaner

Table of Contents

Congratulations on your purchase of the most technologically advanced automatic pool vacuum available today. The Direct Command Plus

is easy to use and will make maintaining your pool affordable and effortless. Following these simple directions will insure that the Direct

Command Plus will quickly and efficiently clean your pool today and for many years to come.

INSTALLATION

• Place the power supply in an area that will allow the cleaner to cover all areas of the pool.

• Attach the antenna to the power supply by aligning the base of the antenna with the gold connector on the power supply. Twist the antenna onto the

connector in a clockwise direction until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

• Be sure to only plug the power supply into a GFCI (ground fault current interrupter) or ELI (earth leak interrupter) protected electrical outlet.

• Look at the power supply and check that the power supply switch is in the off position (middle switch position).

• Plug the power supply into the GFCI or ELI protected outlet.

• Plug in the connector from the cleaner into the socket. The connector is keyed so that it will only plug into the socket one way. Make sure

that the plug is pushed all the way onto the socket. Slide the connector lock (strain relief) onto the connector and turn the connector lock clockwise

until it is snug.

OPERATING THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER WILL DAMAGE THE MOTORS AND VOID THE WARRANTY

• Place the cleaner into the pool and if needed rock the cleaner side to side to release any trapped air. The cleaner

will sink to the bottom of the pool.

• Put enough of the low voltage floating cable into the water to assure that the cleaner can easily reach all

areas of the pool.

• ONE HOUR FAST-TRACK OPERATION:

Press the One Hour FAST-TRACK switch as shown in Figs PS1 and PS2. The robot will automatically begin its cleaning

program and a yellow LED will light on the power supply. NOTE: When in the FAST-TRACK Mode, the robot will not climb the

walls, but rather will concentrate its cleaning efforts on the floor where the majority of debris is located. The unit operates in

a slow but steady coverage pattern, and will automatically shut off after 60 minutes. To end the cleaning cycle manually,

press the middle button (off switch) - Figure PS2.

• 3 HOUR WALL CLIMBING OPERATION:

Press the 3 hour (Complete-Clean) Mode switch on the power supply as shown in Figs PS1 and PS2. The Robot will automatically begin its

cleaning program and a red LED will light on the power supply. NOTE: The unit will climb the walls during this cleaning cycle.

The robot will automatically turn off after 3 hours. To end the cleaning cycle early, press the middle (off switch) - Figure PS1.

• If a second cleaning is required or the unit is accidentally shut off, make sure the unit is manually switched off, and wait 30 seconds before switching the unit on again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: During normal operation, the cleaner will appear to shut off for a few seconds. This is normal and part of the pool cleaning program. The unit has multiple

ways of cleaning the walls. It may climb to the top, scrub, then make a turn and drive back down the wall to the bottom of the pool. It may also climb to the top, shut down for a

few seconds, remove itself from the wall, turn its pump motor on again, pushing itself down to the bottom of the pool away from the wall. It could also climb the wall, scrub the

waterline, turn its pump motor off, and float away from the wall down to the bottom. All of these variations have been programmed into the cleaner and are designed to quickly

and efficiently clean your entire pool. This unit has been designed to clean all areas of your pool. It will climb the walls, and occasionally break the surface. In the process of climbing

the wall it may stay on the surface and continue to operate from several seconds to a few minutes. This is normal and the cleaner will eventually make its way to the bottom to

continue its cleaning. Since most of the dirt is concentrated on the floor of the pool, the cleaner will spend the majority of its time on the floor.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION:

To use the remote control feature, place the cleaner into the swimming pool. Push the 3-hour switch on the power supply to the ON position. Wait 10 seconds. Press and release any

button on the remote control to activate the remote control feature. DO NOT HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN, AS THE VACUUM WILL TRAVEL IN THE DESIRED DIRECTION

UNTIL THE RED STOP BUTTON IS PUSHED. There will be an audible beep from the remote control, indicating that the command has been sent to the vacuum. The unit will stop

moving, but the pump motor will continue to run and filter water. If the cleaner needs to travel to the right, press and release the right arrow button. When the vacuum has turned to

the desired area, press and release the red STOP button. Press and release either the forward or back button to make the vacuum travel in that direction. By using these simple inputs

you can easily guide the unit to any area of your pool. To exit the remote control feature, press and release the button marked AUTO. The unit will resume its cleaning program and

automatically shut off when it reaches the end of its cleaning cycle.

NOTE: If, while in remote mode, the cleaner begins floating on the water's surface, press the STOP button on the remote until the robot floats to the

bottom of the pool.

DO NOT RUN THE CLEANER OUT OF THE WATER.
