Travel direction anti-tipping sensor 4.5 Base station > 35 % 0 - 35 cm 4 3 100 cm 2 1 The robot lawnmower is switched off by the tilt sensor if it encounters an upward or downward slope of more than 35%. Sideways anti-tipping sensor The base station (2) is connected to the electrical power supply (transformer) using the low-voltage cable (1). The base station (2) generates a control signal and sends this in the boundary cable (3).
5 Assembly/installation 5.1 Assembling the base station 2 1 English 2 3 1 Insert the base plate (3) with its front edge in the direction of arrow 1 into the plate of the base station (2), and fold upwards in the direction of arrow 2. Secure the base station to the ground with the pegs (1). 5.2 Setting up the base station min. 20 cm min. 35 cm min. 1 m min. 1 m 1 2 Place the base station in a shady location in the garden on smooth level ground where it will be protected against the rain.
5.3 Laying the boundary cable Spare loops of cable ca. 1 - 2 m Important! Danger of damage to the boundary cable and impairment of function of the robot lawnmower! To ensure reliable function, the boundary cable must be laid as described in the following steps: Check the area to be mown. Remove mole hills and windfall fruit, and level out any holes in the area to be mown. Lay your boundary cable around obstacles.
5.4 Laying options min. 15 cm English min. 15 cm min. 30 cm When laying the boundary cable in walkways, it is necessary to maintain the minimum distances from obstacles and the minimum passage width, otherwise the robot lawnmower will not be able to operate correctly. STOP If there is a crossover in the boundary cable layout this will cause operating faults because the system will be unable to distinguish between the internal and external sides of the boundary.
5.5 Laying the cable around obstacles 5.6 Connecting the boundary cable to the base station When laying the cable around obstacles, maintain the distances shown in the illustration. 1 min. 30 cm 2 min. 30 cm When the distance is at least 30 cm, the robot lawnmower interprets the distance as a path and moves around the obstacle. Remove the insulation from the boundary cable (2) after laying the cable and connect to the spring terminals (1). 5.
5.8 Opening the cover on the rear of the base station 5.9 Checking the connection 1 2 Note! The cover only has to be opened for the purpose of checking the LED displays. 1 English 2 Important!
