Usage Features
The WEDAB600 is designed for ease of use, from immersion to operation and retrieval.
- Immersion in the Pool: The cleaner should be carefully placed in the pool, starting from the middle or longest side. The ramp can be situated at the front of the trolley, and the On/Off switch should be in the "0" position. The filter system is mounted on the discharge outlet, and the floating cable is kept cool. The unit connects to the cable line outlet, and the remote control drives it into the pool. It's crucial to ensure the floating cable is untwisted after disconnecting it from the transformer.
- Running the Cleaner: The cleaner operates by driving along the walls around the whole pool. It can be started by driving it forward parallel with one short side of the pool. The angle of the bumper bars can be set to control the turning against the opposite (long) side. The automatic mode ensures the cleaner always turns when a bumper bar runs against a wall. The PLC control box drives the machine in the opposite direction.
- Vertical Wall Cleaning: The cleaner can be prepared for vertical wall cleaning by moving the rubber strips at the front and back edge to the bottom plate. The machine's pump motor is started, and the cleaner is driven into the pool towards the wall. The bumper bar is grabbed, and the unit sucks itself onto the wall.
- Remote Control and Start-Up Display: The device comes with a remote control for manual operation. The start-up display provides visual feedback and control options, including a timer and menu.
- On/Off Switch: A simple on/off switch controls the power to the cleaner.
- Recovery from the Pool: To retrieve the cleaner, it should be driven backwards against the wall to a spot near the trolley. The floating cable is lifted slowly up to the water level. The remote control is kept within reach. The lifting ropes are grabbed, and the unit is leaned over the pool edge. The unit is then driven over the edge and via the ramp onto the trolley. The remote control is stopped, and the power supply is disconnected. The trolley wheels are unlocked, and the unit is moved to its storage location.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the WEDAB600.
- Preparation After Use: After each use, inspect and clean belts, impeller, brushes, and wheels. The filter bags should be removed, flushed with water, and allowed to dry. The cleaning unit should also be flushed with water.
- Adjustments:
- Bumper Bar Sensors: The screw holding the sensor can be released to adjust its position. Pressing the bumper bar all the way in allows for adjustment. The sensor screw should be released and moved to ensure 1-2 mm clearance to the bumper bar. The screw is then tightened. It is important not to overtighten the screw as this can damage the sensor.
- Bumper Bar Angle: The bumper bar angle can be adjusted to ensure the whole pool is covered in automatic mode. The four screws holding the adjustable supports are released, and the two nuts holding the bumper bar are released. The bumper bar is set to the desired angle, and the nuts are tightened. It's important to check that the bumper bar moves in and out without jamming.
- Drive Track Tension: The drive track tension can be adjusted by moving the rear wheel forwards or backwards. The shaft should be released slightly, adjusted with the adjusting screws, and then the drive track should have a play according to the picture (10-20 mm).
- Drive Track Pressure: To ensure the machine turns and stops correctly, the drive track pressure must be concentrated on the slide rails along the base of the machine. The cleaner is positioned on a flat surface such as the transport trolley. The four locking nuts on the support rods at the bracket located on the pump housing are loosened. The nuts against the bracket are adjusted so that the support rods press the wheels down onto the surface. The nuts are then adjusted until each wheel has a maximum 1 mm gap between the track and the surface. Finally, the locking nuts are tightened.
- Maintenance, Service, Inspection:
- Shaft Seal at Impeller: The shaft seal should be lubricated after 200 hours of operation. The seal should be replaced after 1000 hours of operation. For operation depths 5-7 m, lubricate the shaft seal after 10 hours of operation and replace after 500 hours of operation. Replacement of the seal is preferably carried out in connection with a complete overhaul.
- Lubrication with Grease Gun: Use only Weda Poolcleaners non-toxic white grease. Five strokes with the grease gun are sufficient. Do not overfill, as excessive grease will be forced out.
- Additional Inspection After 200 Hours: This includes inspection of drive tracks, drive tracks tension, and bumper bars. Ensure bumper bars move in and out without jamming. If necessary, disassemble, clean the parts, and reassemble.
- Complete Overhaul and Service: A complete overhaul and service are recommended after 1000 hours. Contact a Weda service agent for this.
Important Safety Notes
- Do not use the cleaner for periods longer than 10 minutes out of water.
- Use only Weda Poolcleaner original spare parts.
- Max. test pressure inside machine 0.5 bar.
- Do not pull the unit by the power cable.
- Avoid twisting the cables or dragging the cables along the poolside.
- A twisted floating cable is easily untwisted after disconnecting it from the transformer.
- Do not attempt to release any materials caught in the impeller while the pump is running.
- Test the earth leakage breaker every week.
- Do not connect the unit electrically while people are in the pool.
- The whole unit must be electrically disconnected before any service work.
- All internal work in the safety transformer must be handled by an approved electrician.
- DO NOT USE THE CLEANER IN EXPLOSIVE OR INFLAMMABLE ENVIRONMENTS.
Troubleshooting
The manual also provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Pump does not run and the cleaner does not move:
- Incorrect phase sequence (Switch main switch to other position).
- Fuses tripped out (Replace the fuse).
- Cable defect (Replace or fix the cable).
- Blocked impeller (Remove the obstacle).
- Over current relay has tripped (Reset with reset button).
- Power failure has occurred (Start over from scratch).
- The motor protector (Over current relay) trips out after a short while:
- Blocked impeller (Remove the obstacle).
- Incorrect voltage (Contact electrician).
- Incorrect phase sequence (Switch breaker on Power Control Box).
- Over current relay set too low (Increase in steps by 0.2, contact Weda service).
- Water inside the pump (Contact Weda service).
- The cleaner does not move but the drive motor runs:
- Magnetic clutch switch off (Check the switch).
- Magnetic clutches slip (Clean the clutches).
- No power (electrical) to the clutches (Reset the fuse in the Power Control Box).
- The cleaner turns slowly or not at all:
- Drive tracks defect (Replace with new, see paragraph 5 above).
- Incorrect adjustment of the drive tracks (Contact Weda service).
- Magnetic clutches loose (Contact Weda service).
- Oil or water in the clutches (Contact Weda service).
