Over-skim regulation
The sensor in the neck monitors the wetness of the foam and will
activate a self-leveling procedure whenever a potential over-skimming
wetness is identified. When the wetness of the foam in the neck exceeds
the "over-skim" threshold the intensity of the pump is immediately
reduced to prevent over-skimming and then gradually increased and/
or decreased, a bit at a time, according to the foam wetness, until the
preset pump intensity is reached and stable skimming is restored.
To optimize performance of the feature the over-skim threshold is
adjustable from the App.
Lower the threshold if over-skimming is not prevented. Raise the
threshold if the skimmer is often in self-leveling mode and little or no
skimmate is being collected. Homepage>Settings Page>Pump>More
Settings>Over-Skim Regulation
At any time during the automated self-leveling process the skimmer can
be returned to normal skimming by pressing the resume button in the
App or the pause/play button on the controller.
Full-Cup regulation
The sensor in the collection chamber identifies when the cup is full and
needs emptying. When a full-cup is first registered the pump intensity
will be reduced to allow for continued aeration of the water. Once a full-
cup has been identified the system keeps monitoring the status and will
automatically revert to normal operation if it is not full to the maximum
capacity. Once maximum capacity has been reached the cup needs to be
emptied and then normal skimming restored from the App.
In the event that the over-skim threshold is passed while the skimmer
is in full-cup, the skimmer pump will be switched off until the cup is
emptied and normal skimming is restored from the App.

Skim-Sensor calibration
When selecting the Self-leveling setting for the first time the App will
guide you step by step through the skim sensor calibration procedure.
Each probe of the sensor needs to be calibrated individually and should
be immersed, one at a time, in a cup of water taken from the sump.
Immersing both probes at the same time or immersing the probe
directly in the sump (instead of in a cup) will give an incorrect result that
will affect the performance of the self levelling feature.
Skim sensor calibration will need to be repeated after a factory reset of
the RRDC or if the skim sensor is replaced.
