How does the Virtual Wall Work?
The Virtual Wall creates an invisible barrier that Aztech VC2000 will not cross. This invisible barrier can be used to confine the VC2000 to a particular room or area and prevent it from getting too close to electrical or computer cords, delicate objects on the floor, etc. it can be set to block an opening up to seven feet long.
It is important to take note that the width of the Virtual Wall’s beam also increases as its length increases, creating a cone-shaped area which the VC2000 cannot pass. The Virtual Wall also creates a halo of protection around itself, preventing the cleaner from getting too close to the virtual wall device.
*Turn on the virtual wall, and place it on the outside of the doorway you wish to block.
