Under default settings, press & hold the Fn key for 7 seconds to enter or exit the Pro-Commands state, which is a built-in diagnostic mode and indicated by the blue status light. Or, simply toggle on/off Pro-Commands directly from the Panel menu in the app. Note that the Fn key is customizable in the Shortcut menu.

In this state, the buttons function as follows:

• Key 1 (Play): Rotates the chamber forward
• Key 2 (Bin): Rotates the chamber backward
• Key 3 (Sifter): Opens the sifter
• Key 4 (Fn): Closes the sifter

While only the Automatic mode is enabled by default, Popur S7 SLS is equipped with 11 specialized modes that may work in tandemn seamlessly to suit different needs and use cases perfectly. They fall into three groups categorized by the purpose: Automatic, Schedule and Do-not-disturb determine whether or not a cleaning cycle should start; Sentinel, Caring, Linger, Zoomie and No-troll adjust sensor and pet detection algorithm according to pets' habits or behaviors; Chunky-litter, Soft-stool, Auto-bury and Dog-proof change the workflow before or during a cleaning process.

1. Automatic/Manual: Allows your Popur S7 SLS to start the automatic cleaning cycle after a pet finished its business. Toggling Automatic mode off is equivalent to Manual mode.
2. Schedule: Sets to start automatic cleanings at predetermined timestamps. Supports up to 10 cleaning appointments.
3. Do-not-disturb: Defines quiet hours during which cleanings won’t happen, neither automatic nor scheduled. Supports up to 5 do-not-disturb rules.
4. Sentinel: Enables continuous pet presence detection, and pauses operation temporarily to prevent startle. May reduce cleaning efficiency and cause brief delays.
5. Caring: Maximizes sensor range as well as sensitivity, and auto-activates Sentinel mode. Optimized for lightweight or low-movement pets (e.g., kittens, pregnant cats, ferrets).
6. Linger: Avoids premature cleanings and requires a confirmed weight change before starting, to ensure the machine stays inactive for extended periods of subtle activity. Suitable when a cat sleeps in the box, after topping up fresh litter, or for cats experiencing constipation, who typically remain still in the box longer.
7. Zoomie: Lowers the sensor trigger threshold to accommodate high-speed entries and exits—such as zoomies or quick parkour-style hops. Helps ensure cleaning is still initiated even when your cat's contact with the box is brief. Ideal for agile or easily excitable pets whose behaviors may otherwise bypass detection.
8. No-troll: Prevents repetitive cleaning cycles triggered by curious cats. Temporarily disregards activity after a completed cycle. Supports customization of the cooldown duration.
9. Chunky-litter: Repeats the initial tilt motion and reverses the subsequent return motion, enhancing sifting and leveling precision for chunkier litter granules. Supports customization of the oscillation number.
10. Soft-stool: Slows the tilt motion with a pulsed, incremental drive. Creates deliberate stop-start steps to cover semi-solid waste and reduce smear risk. Supports customization of the softness level.
11. Auto-bury: Proactively moves the sifter to cover waste after pet exits. Ideal for cats who prefer leaving their business uncovered. Supports customization of the wait duration.
12. Dog-proof: Automatically deploys the sifter after a pet exits to physically block access to the litter area. Designed to deter dogs or other curious animals from reaching cat waste. Ideal for multi-pet households where interspecies snacking is a concern. Supports customization of the wait duration.
