This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation.
An installation of GARDENA R40Li includes four main components:
•R40Li, a robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern. The
mower is powered by a
•Charging station, where your R40Li returns when
the charge level in the battery becomes too low.
The charging station has three functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary wire.
• Sending control signals in the guide wire so that R40Lican find the charging station.
• To charge R40Li battery.
•Transformer, which is connected between the
charging station and a 230V wall socket. The transformer is connected to the wall socket and to the charging station using a 10 m long low voltage cable. The low voltage cable must not be shortened or extended.
•Wire, laid in a loop around R40Li working area.
The boundary wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around objects and plants that the mower must not run into. The wire is also used as the guide wire.
The wire supplied with the installation is 150 m long. If this is not sufficient more wire can be purchased, with a connector, and spliced onto the existing wire.
The maximum permitted length for the loop wire is 250 m.
