blink green/red, the water conditioning cartridge
needs to be replaced (See ec-H2O WATER
CONDITIONING CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT).
*Verify if cleaning detergent was added to solution
tank. If ec-H2O system was operated with cleaning
detergent, drain solution tank, add clear water and
operate the ec-H2O system until the indicator light
code clears.

OPERATION
BLUE START/PAUSE BUTTON
The machine is equipped with a blue start/pause
button on the back that is used to start a robotic
route or pause an in-process robotic route. When
a saved navigation route is selected on the UI
touchscreen, the blue start/pause button flashes.
When pressed to start the route in robotic mode,
the blue start/pause button stops flashing and
remains consistently illuminated during robotic
operation. The blue start/pause button is off when
operating the machine in manual mode.
When a saved navigation route is selected on
the UI touchscreen, press the flashing blue start/
pause button to begin running the route in robotic
mode. If necessary, approach the machine from
behind and press the blue start/pause button again
to pause the in-process robotic route. The machine
stops moving forward and the scrub brush stops
rotating. The vacuum remains on for a short time
to pick up remaining solution and then turns off.
The machine can be driven manually when a
robotic route is paused. This may be necessary
if there is an obstacle that the machine is unable
to maneuver around on its own. The navigation
software will keep track of the current machine
location within the route and allows the route to be
resumed. Press the blue start/pause button again
to resume the robotic route.
USER INTERFACE (UI) TOUCHSCREEN
The User Interface (UI) touchscreen located to
the left of the steering wheel. The UI touchscreen
provides a system login screen, access to all
the machine robotic operation controls, battery,
solution tank, and recovery tank alerts. When a
maintenance task requires immediate attention,
an alert is triggered and appears on the UI
touchscreen.
When the machine is turned on, the BrainOS
software will automatically initialize. Once
initialized, a security pin must be entered to access
BrainOS software and use its robotic functionality.

OPERATION
BATTERY DISCHARGE BAR
The battery discharge bar displays the charge
level of the batteries.
When the batteries are fully charged, the battery
discharge bar is completely filled. As the batteries
discharge, the battery discharge bar moves from
the right to the left.
When the battery is low, an alert is triggered and
displays on the UI touchscreen. All scrubbing
functions are stopped, but the machine can still be
driven. Recharge the batteries. See CHARGING
THE BATTERIES in the MAINTENANCE section.
NOTE: Do not charge batteries more often than
necessary. Excessive charging could reduce
the life of the batteries. It is best to charge the
batteries only when alerted that the battery needs
charging. See BATTERIES in the MAINTENANCE
section.
ROC: ROBOT OPERATIONS CENTER (BrainOS
Software)
The BrainOS software provides access to the
Brain Corps Robotic Operations Center, also
known as the ROC. The ROC is a cloud-based
robot operations center, managed by Brain Corp.
technicians, that enhances the machine abilities
by providing monitoring and analytics. The ROC
is connected via a 4G LTE modem and does not
require user interaction to connect. New versions
of the software are automatically uploaded to the
machine without disrupting service or operator
interaction.
The ROC indicator is located on the UI
touchscreen status bar. When the indicator is
orange, the machine is successfully connected to
the ROC. If the indicator is gray, the ROC is not
connected and cannot be paired with a cell phone.

OPERATION
HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
The scrub components of the machine are a
solution tank, scrub brushes or pads, a squeegee,
a vacuum fan, and a recovery tank.
The buttons on the control panel control the
machine scrubbing functions. The 1-Step button
turns the preset scrub functions on and off.
The ec-H2O button (option) enables the ec-
H2O NanoClean (electrically converted water)
system. The vacuum fan/squeegee button turns
the vacuum fan on/off and raises and lowers the
squeegee. The brush pressure buttons control the
scrub brush pressure, and the solution buttons
control the solution flow.
The steering wheel controls the path of the
machine travel. The directional switch controls the
forward or reverse direction of the machine. The
propel pedal controls the speed of the machine.
The brake pedal slows and stops the machine.
NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play an
important role in determining the type of brushes
or pads to use. For specific recommendations, see
the BRUSH INFORMATION section of this manual
or contact a Tennant representative.
The machine is equipped with BrainOS software
that is accessible via the User Interface (UI)
touchscreen, also known as the UI touchscreen.
BrainOS technology offers a robotic mode feature
that provides the ability for the machine to perform
floor cleaning by following one of the saved
navigation routes without direct, real-time operator
control. The machine can only operate in robotic
mode in areas where cleaning routes have been
taught and saved. The UI touchscreen allows an
operator to teach a new cleaning route, run an
existing cleaning route robotically, access triggered
alert messages, and more. It also provides
constant visibility to current battery life and ROC
connection status.
Home location codes must be permanently
installed before the machine can be used in robotic
mode. A home location code is a unique code
identifier that the machine scans to determine its
current location, as well as any routes that have
been saved to that specific home location code.
The machine is designed to work with up to 10
home location codes. Each home location code
can store up to 6 routes for a total of 60 routes.
CONVENTIONAL SCRUBBING
Water and detergent from the solution tank flow
to the floor through a solution valve. The brushes
use the detergent and water solution to scrub
the floor clean. As the machine propels forward,
the squeegee wipes the dirty solution from the
floor. The suction created by the vacuum fan then
draws the dirty solution from the squeegee into the
recovery tank.
ec-H2O SCRUBBING SYSTEM (OPTION)
When using the ec-H2O NanoClean technology,
normal water passes through a module where it
is electrically converted into a cleaning solution.
The electrically converted water attacks the dirt,
allowing the machine to easily scrub away the
suspended soil. The converted water then returns
to normal water in the recovery tank.
The ec-H2O system can be used with all double
scrubbing applications.
NOTE: Do not enable the ec-H2O system with
conventional cleaning detergents in the solution
tank. Drain, raise and refill the solution tank with
only clear cool water before operating the
ec-H2O system. Conventional cleaning detergents/
restorers may cause failure to the ec-H2O solution
system.
