Totem Digital Romania smart waste bins are solar-powered urban furniture that open automatically when someone approaches and signal when they are full. This manual covers every model in the range and explains safety, installation, daily use and maintenance.

Safety

Precautions for operators and for the public using the bin.

Installation

Choosing the location, mounting and first start-up.

Usage

Automatic opening, fill-level indicators and emptying.

Maintenance & troubleshooting

Cleaning, periodic checks and fixing common problems.

​
Available models

The TPV2209 is also available as a 3 × 50 L version (1480 × 520 × 1000 mm, 135 kg) with the same features.

​
Common features

  • Autonomous solar power: the photovoltaic panel charges the battery, so the bin runs without a mains connection.
  • Automatic opening and closing: a presence sensor opens the door when a user approaches, for contactless use.
  • Fill-level signalling: when the bin is full, the indicator turns red and the operator gets a visual warning.
  • Optional 4G monitoring: fill-level data can be sent to the operator in real time.
