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 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. See the illustration opposite. Read more about islands in chapter 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire on page 21.

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 for the transformer is 10 metres long, and may not be shortened or extended.
