Litter-Robot 4: Control panel - Button functions

Litter-Robot 4 features an easy-to-use control panel near the top of the unit.

Power button

Press the Power button to turn the unit power ON or OFF. When turning the unit ON, the light bar will flash white, then the unit will perform a Clean cycle with a sequential round robin yellow light bar indicating the direction of rotation. 

With the unit powered ON, a 3-second long press of the Power button will turn the unit OFF.

Cycle button: 8-Hour sleep mode

Press the Cycle button to start a Clean cycle. Press the Cycle button again to pause or resume the cycle. A 3-second long press will activate the default 8-hour sleep mode. The light bar will change to purple, indicating sleep mode is enabled for the next 8 hours. To exit this mode, press and hold the Cycle button for 3 seconds. The light bar will change to blue, indicating the mode has been disabled.

Reset button: Automatic night light

Press the Reset button while the globe is at the Home position with the blue light bar on to reset the cat sensor(s). When pressed during a cycle, it will pause the cycle. If pressed again while paused, it will abort the cycle. When pressed with the red light bar on, it will cancel the cat sensor cycle delay and the unit will return to Ready mode (blue light bar on). A 3-second long press enables or disables automatic night light setting mode.

Empty button: Cycle delay setting

Press the Empty button while the globe is at the Home position with the blue light bar on to start an Empty cycle. When pressed during a Clean cycle or Empty cycle, it will pause the cycle. Pressing the Empty button during a paused cycle will abort the cycle and send the globe back to the Home position. A 3-second long press enables or disables cycle delay setting mode.
