Do not put the charging station in confined spaces or in
a corner. This can make it difficult for the robotic mower
to find the charging station.
The charging station must be positioned on relatively
level ground. The front end of the charging station
cannot be positioned higher or lower than the back end
according to picture below.
max. 5 cm / 2"
max. 5 cm / 2"
The charging station must not be positioned in a way
that can bend its base plate.
If the installation is done in a working area with a steep
slope, the charging station should be placed at the
bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic
lawnmower to follow the guide wire to the charging
station.
The charging station should not be placed on an island
as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal
way. If the charging station has to be installed on an
island, the guide wire also has to be connected to the
island. Read more about islands in the
within the working area on page 15.
3.3.2 Connecting the power supply
Consider the following when planning where to place the
power supply:
•
Close to the charging station
•
Protection from rain
•
Protection from direct sunlight
The power supply must be placed where it is well
ventilated and must be placed under a roof. If the power
supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this
must be approved for outdoor use. It is recommended to
use an earth fault-breaker (RCD) when connecting the
power supply to the wall socket.
WARNING: Applicable to USA/Canada. If power
supply is installed outdoors: Risk of Electric
Shock. Install only to a covered Class A GFCI
receptacle (RCD) that has an enclosure that is
weatherproof with the attachment plug cap
inserted or removed.
No parts of the power supply must be changed or
tampered with. For example the low voltage cable must
not be shortened or extended. Low voltage cables with 3
m or 20 m length are avalible as optional accessories.
It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the
working area if it is stapled down or buried. The cutting
height should be such that the blades can never come in
contact with the low voltage cable.
