The Solar-Breeze NX is an intelligent, autonomous robot that navigates
the surface of a swimming pool to collect leaves, debris, dust, pollens and
suntan lotions that float on the surface of the water. It is powered by solar
energy and by a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. It requires no hoses or
power cords to operate.
PO W ER A ND C HA RG ING
The Solar-Breeze NX is powered by direct sunlight. While operating
in the sunlight, it will also collect and store surplus solar power in the
rechargeable battery. On a normal sunny summer day, enough power
will be stored in the battery during the daytime to allow the Solar-Breeze
NX to continue to operate for several hours after the pool is no longer in
direct sunlight.
When the battery reaches a pre-determined low-voltage level, the unit
will shut down automatically, primarily after dark. When this happens, the
red “STATUS” light will begin to flash. There is no need to remove the unit
from the pool when this happens. It will float in the pool for the balance
of the night with control panel and blue navigation LED lights flashing. In
the morning, when there is direct sunlight on the pool again, the unit will
re-start automatically.
There is also a low battery “Hunt for Sun” mode (with the Status light
blinking). If the sky is not dark the unit will run intermittently in an attempt
to locate sunlight where it can stop to charge its low battery. See section
5.d for further details.
