Title: How to Calibrate the OmniSense Laser Sensors on Litter-Robot 4

Step 1: Understand the OmniSense Detection

• The Litter-Robot 4 is equipped with OmniSense detection that uses laser and weight sensor technology to monitor litter and waste levels in real-time.
• The system also includes the Safe Cat system, which ensures your cat's safety by analyzing four safety zones continuously.

Step 2: Monitor Waste Drawer Capacity

• Three laser sensors, known as curtain sensors, located at the top of the bezel accurately measure the waste drawer's capacity during each cycle.
• The unit will detect when the waste drawer is full and indicate it with a flashing blue light bar.

Step 3: Update Firmware

• If you experience inaccurate readings or see a flashing blue light even after emptying the waste drawer, update the firmware.
• Ensure your Litter-Robot is onboarded to the Whisker app for firmware updates.

Step 4: Update Firmware via the App

• Open the Whisker app and select your Litter-Robot 4 unit from the dashboard.
• Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner, go to robot settings, and select firmware information.
• Tap on "Update Firmware" to begin the update process, which may take up to 30 minutes.
• Keep your cat out of the unit during the update.

Step 5: Check Waste Drawer Level

• To check the waste drawer level on the app, press the reset button and then the cycle button to start a clean cycle.
• Remove the waste drawer liner, clean it, and add a plain white paper to the bottom for reflective purposes.

Step 6: Calibrate the DFI Lasers

• Turn off the Litter-Robot 4 by pressing the power button.
• Wait for at least five seconds before pressing the control panel buttons in the following sequence: Connect, Reset, Connect, Empty, Cycle.
• Ensure each button is pressed within 5 seconds of the previous press to activate the calibration process.
• The unit will perform a lamp test with red, green, and blue lights, then cycle to the dump position with a green light.

Step 7: Calibration Completion

• During calibration, the LED display will show a solid yellow light with a flashing green light.
• If successful, the LED display will show a solid yellow light with a flashing blue light for 5 seconds before cycling back to the home position.

Step 8: Finalize Calibration

• Remove the white paper from the waste drawer and add a new waste drawer liner.
• Resume using the Litter-Robot 4 with optimized DFI laser accuracy.

Step 9: Troubleshooting

• If the calibration fails, the LED display will show a solid yellow light with a flashing red light before cycling back home.
