This operator's manual covers SILENO and

products. Within the SILENO family you find R100Li and

R100LiC. Within the family you find R130Li,

R130LiC, R160Li and R160LiC. The C in the model

designation refers to the GARDENA smart system. This

manual will henceforward refer to the model specific

names.

3.1.1 Main components for installation

The installation of the robotic lawnmower involves 4

main components:
1. A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by

essentially operating in a random pattern.

2. A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower

returns when the battery level becomes too low.

3. A power supply, which is connected to the charging

station and a 100-240V wall socket. The power

supply is connected to the wall socket and to the

charging station using a 10 m long low voltage

cable. Low voltage cables with 3 m and 20 m length

are available as optional accessories. No parts of

the power supply must be changed or tampered

with. For example the low voltage cable must not be

shortened or extended.

4. Loop wire, which 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

maximum permitted length for the boundary loop is

800 m.
