Enclosing Corridors (01/H); Excluding Downward Slopes (11); Creating Loops Of Cable (07); Typical Faults In Cable Routing (02) - AL-KO Robolinho 500 Mode D'emploi

Assembly
■
For outside corners with obstacles (06/b):
Route the boundary cable in a point in order
to avoid a collision of the appliance with the
corner.
■
For outside corners without obstacles: Route
the boundary cable at an angle of 90°.
4.5.4

Enclosing corridors (01/h)

In the corridor the following distances must be
complied with:
■
Total width: min. 60 cm
■
Distance of the boundary cable to the edge:
20 cm
■
Distance between the boundary cables: min.
20 cm
4.5.5

Excluding downward slopes (11)

Downward slopes that are greater than 45 %
must be excluded with the boundary cable (45 %
= 45 cm downward slopes per 1 m horizontally).
The boundary cable must not be laid over a gra-
dient of more than 20%. In order to avoid prob-
lems when turning, maintain a distance of 50 cm
to the 20% gradient. If the gradient at the outer
edge of the working area is more than 20% at
any point, lay the boundary cable on the flat
ground at a distance of 20 cm from the start of
the gradient.
4.5.6

Creating loops of cable (07)

Spare loops of cable should be incorporated at
regular intervals in order to reposition the base
station or to extend the mowing area even after
the mowing area has been laid out.
Select the number of spare cable loops according
to your own judgement.
NOTE In the case of spare cable loops, do
not form open loops.
1. Lead the boundary cable around the current
lawn peg (07/1) and then back to the previ-
ous lawn peg (07/3).
2. Then lead the boundary cable to the current
lawn peg again. This creates a loop. The ca-
bles must be close together.
3. If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in
the middle with an additional lawn peg (07/2).

Typical faults in cable routing (02)

■
Spare cable loops of the boundary cable are
not laid in an even, elongated loop (02/a).
■
The boundary cable is not routed properly
around corners (02/b).
442811_a
■
The boundary cable is crossed over or not
routed clockwise (02/c).
■
The boundary cable is routed too imprecisely
so that edge areas of the grass surface can-
not be mowed (02/d).
■
The boundary cable is not routed lying direct-
ly next to itself when guided towards and
back from the edge to an obstacle inside the
lawn (02/e).
■
The start points are set too far away from the
base station (02/f).
■
The boundary cable is routed beyond the
edge of the grass surface (02/g).
■
When routing the boundary cable, the mini-
mum distance for corridors of 20 cm is under-
cut (02/h).
■
The boundary cable is routed too close (i.e.
at a distance of less than 20 cm) to obstacles
that cannot be driven over (02/i).
4.6 Connecting the base station to the
power source (04)
1. Place the power supply (04/4) in a dry loca-
tion that is protected against direct sunlight
and sufficiently close to the base station
(04/1).
2. Connect the low voltage cable of the power
supply (04/5) and the cable of the base sta-
tion (04/6) with each other.
3. Plug the power plug of the power supply
(04/2) into a power socket (04/3).
NOTE We recommend connecting the
power supply to the mains supply via an earth
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a rated leak-
age current < 30 mA.
4.7 Checking the connections on the base
station (04)
1. Check that both LEDs on the front side of the
charging station (09/1) light. If not:
■
Disconnect the mains plug.
■
Check that all plug connectors of the
power source and the boundary cable
are positioned correctly and check for
damage.

cable is laid correctly and the
loop is intact.
