3. INSTALLATION

If the installation is done in a working area with a steep slope (such as around a house on a hill), the charging station should be placed in the area at the bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the lawn mower 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. See the picture opposite. Read more about islands in the chapter 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire.

Connecting the transformer

Take the following into consideration when planning where to place the transformer:

Close to the charging station

Protection from rain

• Protection from direct sunlight

If the transformer is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this must be approved for outdoor use. The low voltage cable to the transformer is 10 meters long, and may not be shortened or extended.

It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working area. The low voltage cable must be stapled down or buried, and the cutting height should be such that the blades on the blade disc can never come in contact with the low voltage cable.

The transformer must be placed where it is well ventilated and is not exposed to direct sunlight. The transformer must be placed under a roof.

It is recommended to use an earth fault-breaker when connecting the transformer to the wall socket.

For best performance, the transformer must not be exposed to direct sunlight.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The low voltage cable must not be shortened nor extended.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Place the low voltage cable so that the blades on the blade disc can never come in contact with it.
