To run the diagnostic program you will need the diagnostic software, cable and associated
driver installed. Plug the black end of the cable into your pc, and the white end of the cable
into the robot's USB port in the dust cassette well.
With the unit turned off, run xr668selftest.exe. You'll need to select the com port number
the cable is assigned (check in device manager) and set the baud rate to 115200. Click on
“Start”.
The “Machine details” section will give you the model number, software version and any
error code

Version 1 6
Cliff sensor
Place unit on black surface all cliff sensor lights
should be green. Raise unit to height of 14cm
over a white surface, all cliff sensor lights
should be off. The mV value for each sensor will
increase as the distance between the sensor
and surface is reduced. If any one of the
sensors is not behaving as expected then
replace the cliff sensor array
Go to Cliff sensor
IR sensor
The top and bottom fields are not used in the
current models.
With a piece of white paper at approximately
3cm from the front bumper, move it from left
to right to cover each sensor location, when
blocked the relevant front sensor light should
show green. If any one of the sensors is nor
responding correctly then replace the front
sensor array.
Go to Bumper & IR
Cradle charge
The Cradle charge light should be green when
the unit is placed on the charging base
correctly, with power to the base. If it does not
light up, first check the Direct charge works, if
this does not then check with a new charger, if
the Direct charge works then check with a new
charging base. If there is still no light present
then check the contact plates and connection
to main PCB within the unit.
Go to Switch & Charger
Diagnosis Software

Version 1 7
Direct charge
The Direct charge light should be green when
the charger is connected directly into the
charging socket on the unit, with power to the
charger. If it does not light up then check with a
new charger, if this doesn’t work then check
the connection of the switch/charger module
with the main PCB and replace if necessary.
Go to Switch & Charger
Bumper sensors
Push the front bumper on the left side then
right and finally centre. The L Bumper light
should show green when the left is pushed, R
Bumper when right side is pushed and both
should light when the centre is pushed. If there
is no light then check the bumper actuators are
making contact with the micro switch for the
relevant side, if they are then check the micro
switch connection and replace if faulty.
Go to Bumper & IR
Ground test
With the unit flat on a surface the L Side Down
and R Side Down lights should both be green.
Lifting the unit fully clear of the surface should
cause both left and right wheels to extend and
both lights should go out. If the lights do not
illuminate or turn off then check the
movement of the relevant wheel.
Go to Motor & Weels
Diagnosis Software

Version 1 8
Side Brushes
If either side brush is jammed with power to
its motor then the Side Brush light will be
green, check each side for lack of movement
and any interference.
Go to Side Brushes Motors
Go to Front Wheel
Front Wheel
Manually rotate the front wheel, this should
cause the green light to come on, if it does not
then check for any interference in the
mechanism and check the connection to the
main PCB.
Go to Cleaning Maintenance
Go to Front Wheel
Motor Sensors
L wheel speed, R wheel speed, L wheel current
and R wheel current.
Current should less than about 150 mA on
each wheel, with a no load speed of 800-1200
p/s.
When applying pressure to each wheel, there
should be a strong resistance. If current is too
high and speed is low then check for
interference. If there is no movement and no
current value then check connection to main
PCB. If there is a fault then replace appropriate
wheel SA.
Go to Motor & Wheels
Diagnosis Software

Version 1 9
Fan current
Fan current should be less than 400 units. If
higher then check for blockages and interference
to fan, if fine then replace fan SA.If there is no
current then check connection to main PCB.
Go to Fan Motor
Beater current
The beater current should be less
than 350 units.
The bar should stop rotating when held.
If higher current draw then check for damage
and interference to bar, if this is fine then
replace beater bar motor SA.If there is no
current then check connection to main PCB.
