Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on purchasing the AstralPool 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 dam-
aged. Contact AstraPool Consumer Care 1300 186 875 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 oating 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.

VIRON™ QT 1000 robotic cleaner owner’s Manual
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 specied.
• 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 lter canister in the VIRON™ QT1000 cleaner after each use.
• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 35˚ C (95˚ F)or below 13˚ C (55˚ F).
USE OF THE 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, oats, 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 o during the installation process or when it comes into contact
with objects in the pool. AstralPool Group Australia Pty Ltd is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not
cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.
Section 2. Cleaner Specications
The general specifications for the cleaner are as
follows:
Control box
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
Cleaner size
(WxDxH)
43 x 48 x 27 cm
Weight of Cleaner 9.5 kg
Packed weight 19 kg
Filtration
All-purpose lter 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.

• Start at the cleaner head and untangle any coils in
the cable before storing the cleaner.
The VIRON QT1000 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.
AstralPool recommends not exceeding 3 cleaning
cycles per week.
4.1 Install and Submerge the Cleaner
1. With the control box plugged into a power outlet,
spread the oating 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.

7.4 Replacing Wear Parts
7.4.1 Replacing Brushes
The cleaner is fitted with PVC brushes with a‘’wear’’
indicator.
raised groove becomes
partially flattened,
indicating excessive
wear
Figure 25. 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).
