Frequently Asked Questions - EvoluX EX6000 iQ ZODIAC

How do I start the cleaner?

Ensure the cleaner is fully submerged in the pool. Press the Start/Stop button on the control unit or in the iAquaLink app. The cleaner will begin its cleaning cycle.

What do the error codes on the control unit mean?

Error codes indicate specific issues. For example, code 1 means pump motor issue, code 2/3 for traction motors, code 4 for pump consumption, etc. Refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual for suggested solutions.

How do I connect the cleaner to Wi-Fi?

Download the iAquaLink app, sign up or log in, then press the Bluetooth button on the control unit. Follow on-screen prompts to connect to your home router. Ensure the control box is within range of a strong Wi-Fi signal.

How often should I clean the filter canister?

Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle. Remove the canister, empty debris, and rinse with a hose. Periodically clean thoroughly with soapy water and a soft brush.

How do I replace the brushes?

When the wear indicator shows the rubber is worn down, replace brushes. Lift the cleaner upright, separate brush edges, undo tabs, and remove old brushes. Install new brushes with cleaning blades facing away from the roller, then cut tabs 3/4 inch from the heel.

What is the Lift System and how do I use it?

The Lift System helps retrieve the cleaner from the pool. Press the Lift button, use arrows to rotate the cleaner to face the wall of your choice, then press again to drive it up the wall. The cleaner will wait at the waterline for you to grab the handle.

Can I use an extension cord with the control unit?

No. Do not use an extension cord. Provide a properly located approved electrical outlet near the control unit to reduce risk of fire or electrocution.

What is the SMART Cycle?

SMART Cycle calculates a customized cleaning time optimized for your pool. On the first run, the control box counts up to determine the optimal duration. Subsequent runs count down from that time. You can recalculate by holding the Mode button for 5 seconds.

How do I program a cleaning schedule?

In the iAquaLink app, go to System Settings > Schedules. Select the day, start time, and cleaning mode. Only one cycle per day can be scheduled. The next scheduled cleaning will appear on the home screen.

Why is my cleaner not climbing walls?

Common causes: a full or dirty filter canister, worn tyre treads, or improper pool chemistry. First, clean the filter canister. If still not climbing, check tyre wear and replace if needed. Also ensure your pool water is balanced.

1 Important Safety Instructions

Congratulations on purchasing the Zodiac Robotic Cleaner. Please read through the entire manual before installing your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.

WARNING

Failure to comply with the following warnings can increase risk of fire or electrocution which can result in property damage and serious injury, including loss of life.

PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK

To reduce risk of electrical shock:

• The cleaner is to be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian wiring rules AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the swimming pool equipment for which the cleaner will be an integral part. The cleaner is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of 30mA.
• Do not enter pool while the robotic cleaner is in water.
• Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the robotic cleaner or control unit if the cord is worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Customer Care Service 1300 763 021 immediately for proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.
• Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the robotic cleaner, control unit, power cord, or floating cable.
• Use only the power supply provided with the product.
• NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO ELECTRIC SUPPLY; PROVIDE A PROPERLY LOCATED APPROVED ELECTRICAL OUTLET. THE CONTROL UNIT SHOULD BE PLACED NEAR THE APPROVED RECEPTACLE BOX.

PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge to operate this product.
• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool's operational system.

CAUTION

Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.

• The robotic cleaner must be installed and operated as specified.
• This product is intended for use with permanently-installed pools. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
• Clean the filter canister in the Evolux cleaner after each use.
• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 35^ircC (95°F) or below 13^ircC (55°F).

USE OF THE ZODIAC ROBOTIC CLEANER IN A VINYL LINER POOL

Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac Group Australia Pty. Ltd. is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

2 Cleaner Specifications

General Specifications

The general specifications for the cleaner are as follows:

Control box [Y6W0]supply voltage	220-240 VAC, 50 Hz; short circuit-proof safety isolating type
Supply voltage	30 V DC
Installed load	150 W max
Cable length	18 M or 21M depending on model
Cleaner size (WxDxH)	43 x 48 x 27 cm
Weight of Cleaner	9.5 kg
Packed weight	19 kg
Filtration	All-purpose filter canister
Cycle lengths	Variable programming.

The cleaner is a double-insulated product. A double-insulated electrical appliance is one which has been designed in such a way that it does not require a safety connection to ground. The basic requirement for double-insulation is that no single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might cause an electric shock and that this is achieved without relying on an earthed (grounded) metal casing. This is achieved by having two (2) layers of insulating material surrounding live parts or by using reinforced insulation. Therefore, devices having double-insulated construction, such as this cleaner, do not utilize a grounded (three-prong) cord/plug.

4 General Cleaner Operation

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the cleaner, be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:

- Remove the cleaner from the pool after the cleaning cycle is completed.

- Store on the caddy out of direct sunlight or inclement weather.

- Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating cable. Always use the lift feature to remove cleaner from the pool.

• Take additional care when lifting the cleaner out of the pool. It becomes heavier when filled with water.

• Always remove the cleaner from pool when super chlorinating or adding acid.

- Do not handle cleaner while it is in operation

IMPORTANT

• Always make sure the cleaner head is fully submerged before you begin operation.
- Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle.
- Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a permanent basis.
- At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from the pool.
- Start at the cleaner head and untangle any coils in the cable before storing the cleaner.

The Evolux robotic cleaner includes a safety feature that automatically stops the cleaner if it is powered on but not submerged in water. For pools equipped with a beach area, this safety feature is programmed to drive the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool when the impeller is out of the water.

Zodiac recommends not exceeding 3 cleaning cycles per week.

Install and Submerge the Cleaner

1. With the control box plugged into a power outlet, spread the floating cable across the pool deck until you reach the middle of the pool length.
2. At the center point, submerge the cleaner in the pool and hold in the vertical position to release any air trapped inside. (Figure 12).

7 Maintenance

WARNING

To avoid electric shock and other hazards which could result in permanent injury or death, disconnect (unplug) the cleaner from the power source before performing any cleaning and maintenance.

Cord Tangling

Tangling can occur more frequently when the cleaner is not attended to after each cleaning cycle. The tangle-reducing swivel, in addition to proper installation, general maintenance and the following troubleshooting steps can help to avoid cable challenges.

IMPORTANT

Cleaner power cable may become tangled if correct procedure is not followed after each cleaning cycle.

NOTE: For optimal patterning and reduced tangling, the floating cable should enter the water near the middle of the pool length. Only place enough cable in the water to reach the farthest point in the pool.

Figure 14. Optimal Entry Point in Pool

If tangling occurs, follow these steps:

1. Remove the cleaner from the pool using the Lift System. When the cleaner is within arm's reach, use the handle to remove from the water. Never lift the cleaner out of the pool by the floating cable or swivel.

2. Hold the cleaner vertically to drain.

Replacing Wear Parts

Replacing Brushes

The cleaner is fitted with PVC brushes with a "wear" indicator.

Figure 24. Worn Brush Indicator

To maintain cleaner performance at its best you need to replace the brushes as soon as one of the wear indicators is reached (even if the blade wear is not even). It is recommended that you replace the brushes when the rubber is worn down to the top of the wear indicator (or every two years, whichever comes first).

To replace a worn brush:

1. Lift the cleaner to a vertical position so that the handle is up (Figure 26).

The cleaner does not stay on the pool surface or is floating excessively.	There is air trapped inside the cleaner housing.	Remove cleaner from pool and re-submerge (see Install and Submerge the Cleaner).
	The filter canister is full or dirty. Dispose of debris and thoroughly clean the filter canister with mild soap and a soft brush. Then, re-submerge the cleaner (see Clean the Filter Canister).
The cleaner is not climbing walls.	The filter canister is full or dirty. Dispose of debris and thoroughly clean the filter canister with mild soap and a soft brush. Then, re-submerge the cleaner (see Clean the Filter Canister).
	Tyre treads worn down See Replacing Wear Parts
	Confirm appropriate pool chemistry Speak with your pool service professional. Do not leave cleaner in the pool during any chemical treatments.
The cleaner is not moving Not connected to electricity. The outlet the control unit is connected to, is not supplying electrical power. Check that the outlet to which the control unit is connected is receiving electricity.

User Issue Possible Cause Suggested Solution

The cleaner is not cleaning the pool effectively.	Filter canister is full or dirty. Dispose of	debris and thoroughly clean the filter canister with mild soap and a soft brush. Then, re-submerge the cleaner (see: Clean the Filter Canister).
	Brushes are worn. Check the wear indicator(s). Contact your local dealer for spare parts.
	Cable is excessively tangled. Untangle	the twisted cord and lay in sun to reduce memory. (See: Cord Tangling).
Pool temperature reading from the cleaner (certain models only) is different to the temperature reading shown in the iAquaLink app or other equipment.	The cleaner reading is taken from the bottom of the pool. Deeper water will be colder than at the waterline.	Take an average of the two readings to approximate current pool water temperature.
