Product serial number CleanCUBE User Manual 6 3.2 Safety and Protection Features CleanCUBE is designed with several safety features to protect the user and service personnel while using the product. These safety features are: · Safety sensors on both sides of the aperture: these sensors detect objects or hands passing through the bin's aperture and immediately halt the compaction to prevent injury. · Smoke detection sensor: this sensor detects smoke inside the product. When in action, a compaction is automatically performed to suppress the fire and a notification is sent out via CCN. · Door sensor: this sensor detects whether the front door is open or closed. To prevent injury, the compaction is stopped immediately if the door is opened during a compaction cycle. If it detects that the door is open for longer than a set time, the compactor retracts to its original position. · Door and top cover locking device: there are locking devices on the door and top cover, which only authorized personnel can access. We provide a locking device with a key or bolt depending on the product. · GPS module: The GPS module can track the location of the unit and provide the unit's GPS coordinates with a certain degree of precision. The user can then identify the unit's location through CCN. 3.3 Product Status Indicator The indicator shows the product's approximate fill-level and operational status. Indicator Light Green Orange Red 3 alternating colors Fill-level (slow flashing) Low fill-level Medium fill-level High fill-level Operational status (fast flashing) Communicating Door open Smoke detected Compacting The indicator light reflects the fill-level measured right after a compaction. Depending on the type of waste and how it rebounds upward after being compressed, there may be a discrepancy between the visual fill-level and the filllevel indicated by the flashing light. CleanCUBE User Manual 7 4. Transportation and Selection of Installation Site 4.1 Initial Inspection Upon receiving your CleanCUBE, perform a visual inspection of the packaging before accepting the delivery from the shipping company. If the packaging appears to be damaged or in poor condition, unpack the unit and inspect it for possible damages in front of a representative from the shipping company. If there is any visible damage, mark "damaged" on the freight receipt and save an image or a video of the damage. After inspecting the unit, check to see if all parts and components have been delivered with the unit. 4.2 Transportation You can use a forklift (if the unit is on a pallet) or a hand truck to move the CleanCUBE to its required installation location. If the CleanCUBE is delivered on a pallet, use a forklift to move it to the installation location. When using a forklift, make sure to adjust the forks so that they are as wide as possible while on the pallet. To ensure the safety of the unit during delivery, refer to the following directions: The product must be carried by at least 2 people. Due to the nature of the product center of mass is relatively high a small tilt can lead to a tipping-over incident. Please pay close attention. CleanCUBE User Manual 8 · Ensure that the forks are placed fully through the pallet before lifting. · After lifting the unit, do not make any sudden movements that may cause the unit to fall off the forklift. · After transporting the unit to the designated location, gradually lower the unit to the ground. If the CleanCUBE is not on a pallet, it is recommended to transport the unit using a hand truck. Given the weight of the CleanCUBE, make sure that only hand trucks with load capacities of at least 330 kilograms (or 728 lbs) and equipped with safety straps are used in the transportation of the unit. To ensure the safety of the unit during delivery, refer to the following directions: · If the original protective shell has been removed from the unit, cover the unit with protective padding or material before transporting it. This will prevent any scratches or other physical damages that may occur while transporting the unit. · Make sure that the load plate of the hand truck is entirely placed under the base of the unit before lifting. · Place the hand truck's safety straps around the circumference of the unit. The straps should be around the bin aperture. · Tighten the safety straps until the unit is properly secured onto the hand truck. · Use wheel chocks to prevent accidental movements of the hand truck. · After transporting the unit to the designated location, gradually lower the unit to the ground. CleanCUBE User Manual 9 4.3 Selection of Installation Site To facilitate installation and minimize installation time, we recommended selecting a site for the unit before its installation. When selecting a site, consider the following factors for the unit's optimal performance: · Select an open site such that sunlight can hit directly above the unit. There should be no obstructions that would prevent the unit from receiving sunlight. · The unit should be installed on solid ground such as concrete, cement, wood, etc. · Adjust the unit's adjustable feet so that the unit is perpendicular to the ground. · The front of the unit should have adequate space of at least one meter so that both waste collection and unit maintenance can be performed. · Do not select an indoor installation site unless the unit is a hybrid or AC model. · The battery may discharge and die if the product does not receive adequate sunlight. CleanCUBE User Manual 10 5. Installation and Initial Operational Inspection 5.1 Levelling CleanCUBE has four adjustable feet that can be used to level itself on slightly uneven or sloped installation sites.
