About the IrDA sensor

SAMSUNG PowerBot VR20H9050UW - About the IrDA sensor - 1

caution

The infrared signal transmission may not be smooth in locations exposed to halogen lamps or in outdoor locations.
▶ Vacuum cleaning robot uses 3 types of infrared devices and a device may not work in front of another device with a higher priority.

- Infrared signal Priority: Remote control > Virtual guard > Charger

  • When controlling the vacuum cleaning robot with the remote control, the vacuum cleaning robot may cross the invisible barrier set by the Virtual guard and enter the area you don't want it to enter, since remote control's signal has a higher priority.
    ▶ Different infrared signals may interfere with one another and cause malfunction to the devices if they are used together in a small space or in a close distance.
    ▶ Install the Virtual guard away from the charger as auto charging may be interrupted if the Virtual guard is near the charger.
    ▶ If more than one vacuum cleaning robot is used simultaneously, they may malfunction due to interference of the infrared signals.
