This chapter contains information that is important to
be aware of when planning the installation.
Installation of the robotic lawnmower involves four
main components:
•
A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by
essentially operating in a random pattern. The
robotic lawnmower is powered by a
maintenance-free battery.
•
A charging station, to where the robotic
lawnmower returns when the charge level in the
battery becomes too low.
The charging station has three functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary
wire.
• To send control signals in the guide wire so
that the robotic lawnmower can find the
charging station.
• To charge the robotic lawnmower battery.
•
A transformer, which is connected between the
charging station and a 100-240V wall socket.
The transformer is connected to the wall socket
and to the charging station using a 10 m long low
voltage cable. The low voltage cable must not be
shortened or extended. A 20 meter low voltage
cable is available to purchase as an accessory.
Contact GARDENA Central Service for more
information.
•
Loop wire, laid in a loop around the robotic
lawnmower’s working area. The loop wire is laid
around the edges of the lawn and around objects
and plants that the robotic lawnmower must not
run into. The loop wire is used both as a
boundary wire and a guide wire.
The loop wire supplied for the installation is 200
m long (150 m for the GARDENA R38Li, R40Li,
R45Li & R50Li). If it is not long enough, more
loop wire can be purchased and spliced onto the
existing loop wire with an original coupler.
The maximum permitted length for the loop wire
is 400 m.
