RC 3000

Function and Mode of Operation

Dear Customer,

thank you very much for purchasing the Kär-

cher cleaning robot RC 3000.

The RC 3000 is an automatic cleaning robot

for the indoor area of private households. It can

be used on all common floor coverings for the

autonomous, continuous routine cleaning. The

appliance consists of two components - a dok-

king station and a mobile robot.

The robot is operated with rechargeable bat-

teries. It moves according to the random me-

thod. If the robot bumps into an obstacle, it

changes its direction at a random angle. Then,

it goes straight ahead until it bumps into the

next obstacle. The flat design of the robot al-

lows it to also clean the floor underneath pie-

ces of furniture, such as beds, sofas, cup-

boards, and wardrobes. The robot is working

with optical sensors that detect stairs and steps

and prevent the robot from falling down.

The robot provides of four operating programs

that allow him to automatically adjust to the

various degrees of dirt accumulation on the

floor. The control of the operating programs is

performed by means of sensors located in the

dirt receptacle and depends on the detected

degree of dirt accumulation.

If the  battery is charged completely, the robot

can clean up to 60 minutes. After 20 minutes

at the earliest, the robot (IR receiver) begins to

search its station (IR sender). If the robot has

not found its station after 60 minutes, it turns

off its cleaning aggregates and exclusively con-

centrates on the search for its station for

another 60 minutes.

The station serves to charge the batteries of

the robot and to suck off the dirt from the dirt

receptacle. In the station, the dirt is collected

in a filter bag (2 l). Once the charging process

is completed, the robot autonomously leaves

the station and continues the cleaning.
