Restore Accurate Steering and Coverage to Your Polaris Robotic Cleaner

The Polaris Direction Control Device, V2 Side B (R0916200) is a genuine OEM replacement component designed to restore precise navigation and turning control in compatible Polaris robotic pool cleaners. This device plays a critical role in how the cleaner changes direction, follows programmed paths, and maintains consistent pool coverage.

When a direction control device becomes worn or fails, cleaners may track poorly, miss sections of the pool, or repeat the same paths. Replacing the Side B control device helps return the cleaner to proper steering behavior and efficient cleaning cycles.

What the Direction Control Device Does

Inside Polaris robotic cleaners, the direction control device works with the drive system and internal programming to manage turning decisions and directional changes. Side B is a specific orientation component that must match the cleaner’s design and wiring layout.

A failing or damaged unit can cause:

• Inconsistent or erratic movement

• Poor wall-to-floor transitions

• Repetitive cleaning paths

• Reduced overall coverage

Installing a new OEM Polaris direction control device restores balanced navigation and predictable cleaner operation.

Genuine OEM Polaris Replacement Part

The R0916200 Direction Control Device is manufactured by Polaris to exact factory specifications. OEM construction ensures proper electrical connections, correct alignment, and full compatibility with supported cleaners.

OEM advantages include:

• Exact-fit replacement

• Correct internal tolerances

• Reliable signal and control response

• Long-term durability compared to aftermarket electronics

Using genuine Polaris parts helps protect the cleaner’s internal systems and reduces the risk of further electrical issues.

Designed Specifically as V2 Side B

This part is identified as V2 Side B, meaning it is not interchangeable with Side A or earlier-generation control devices. Installing the correct side is essential for proper operation.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Your cleaner model requires a V2 direction control device

• The replacement needed is Side B, not Side A

• The part number matches R0916200

Using the incorrect side or version may prevent the cleaner from operating correctly.

Helps Restore Full Pool Coverage

When functioning properly, the direction control device ensures the cleaner changes direction at the right intervals, allowing it to cover the entire pool floor and walls efficiently. Replacing a worn unit can immediately improve cleaning performance without replacing the entire drive or control system.

This makes the R0916200 an effective repair for cleaners that still run but no longer clean evenly.

Installation Notes

Replacing the direction control device typically requires opening the cleaner housing and disconnecting the existing component. This repair is commonly performed by pool professionals or experienced DIY users familiar with robotic cleaner electronics.

Always:

• Disconnect power before servicing

• Follow Polaris service documentation

• Verify wiring orientation and side placement

Proper installation is critical for safe and correct operation.
