4.Charging Station &RTK Reference Station Installation
Note:
1. Read and understand the safety chapter before you install the product.
2. Use original spare parts and installation material.
General preparations
1. Water filled holes in the lawn can cause damage to the product.
2. Give an overview of your house, your lawn and include all obstacles. This makes it easier to examine
where to put the charging station, the reference station, and setup the virtual boundaries.
3. Decide where to install the charging station, the RTK reference station, the point of interest, the
transport paths and the virtual boundaries for the work areas and no go zones.
4. Fill in large holes in the lawn.
4.1 RTK Reference Station Installation
Factors that affect the Signal and Positioning Accuracy:
The RTK system of LUBA uses full frequencies multiple satellite-based system, such as GPS, BeiDou,
GLONASS, Galileo, which improves the positioning accuracy to approximately 2 cm. However, the
accuracy crucially relies on the GNSS signal, which can be weakened by the
following
:
Factor 1: Blocking:
1. If there is anything on or surrounding the antenna of RTK reference station, charging station and/or
the mower, the signal will be weakened or blocked.
Solution: DO NOT install the changing station and GNSS antenna near the roof, wall,tree or anywhere
that may block the signal. We recommend you to install the RTK Reference Station of LUBA in a
opensky
1
area or on the roof&wall

.
Note:
1) The distance between RTK Reference Station and the wall&roof&tree should be ideally at least the
same as the height of the wall&roof&tree,as shown below;
2) As shown below, to set the RTK reference station the wall/roof to avoid coverage.
