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.
