Possible Causes

Incorrect placement of SilverCrest magnetic strip, Too thick carpet over strip, Faulty magnetic sensor in robot, Firmware not supporting boundaries in current mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is required.

  • 1. Verify strip placement: Place the SilverCrest magnetic boundary strip flat on the floor with no gaps, directly where you want the robot to stop.
  • 2. Test on hard floor: Try the strip on a hard floor surface; very thick carpets can reduce magnetic field strength.
  • 3. Correct mode: Ensure boundary features are enabled in the app and that you are not in a special mode that ignores them.
  • 4. Sensor failure: If the robot crosses the strip even on hard floor, the internal magnetic sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
