Start Delay
The start of the first cleaning cycle
after either dawn or dusk can be
delayed by using the Start Delay
feature on the SETUP menu
The factory setting for this feature
is OFF, however the user can
delay the start of the first cleaning
cycle after either dawn or dusk by

The feature is not available if ‘All
Day’ or ‘All Night’ settings are
selected for Day Cleaning and
Night Cleaning cycles.
The battery life & daily operating cycle time of Skimbot can be extended by taking advantage of the intermit-
tent operation features of the unit. Intermittent operation means that the unit runs for a specified amount of
time and then shuts down or pauses for a specified amount of time. In the daytime, the battery can recharge
more rapidly during periods of pause since no power is being used to run Skimbot. At night, periods of pause
preserve the power in the battery and may extend night time operation.
