With the "Spider" robot vacuum you have pur-
A
chased a robot vacuum that works fully auto-
matically.
When cleaning, your robot runs through the
following 3 modes:
If the appliance does not switch off at the end
of "edge mode" the cycle starts over again
with "random mode".
This program sequence enables seamless
A
cleaning on the basis of overlapping paths.
The prerequisites in this regard are that the
room must not be too large, and that the appli-
ance does not encounter an obstacle too soon
in "gyro mode".
If the appliance encounters an obstacle, the
bumper registers this and it changes the di-
rection of travel. If the appliance encounters
an obstacle in "gyro mode" it immediately
transitions to "edge mode".
With the aid of 3 fall sensors, your robot vac-
uum automatically detects drop-offs in front of
it (Fig. 6). If a drop-off is detected it changes
its direction of travel and continues to clean in
the opposite direction.
Lower-level surfaces, such as stairs are de-
tected and thus omitted from the cleaning.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the fall sen-
sors, Chapter 6.1, 'Adjusting the sensitivity
of the fall sensors'.
