If the installation is done in a working area with a steep
slope, the charging station should be placed 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. Read more about islands in the
within the working areaà la page16 .
3.3.2 Connecting the power supply
Consider the following when planning where to place the
power supply:
•
Close to the charging station
•
Protection from rain
•
Protection from direct sunlight
The power supply must be placed where it is well
ventilated and must be placed under a roof. If the power
supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this
must be approved for outdoor use. It is recommended to
use an earth fault-breaker (RCD) when connecting the
power supply to the wall socket.

No parts of the power supply must be changed or
tampered with. For example the low voltage cable must
not be shortened or extended. Low voltage cables with 2
m / 10 ft. or 20 m / 66 ft. length are avalible as optional
accessories.
It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the
working area if it is stapled down or buried. The cutting
height should be such that the blades can never come in
contact with the low voltage cable.
Boundaries
The low voltage cable must never be stored in a coil or
under the charging station's base plate as this can
interfere with the signals from the charging station.
AVERTISSEMENT : Applicable to USA/Canada.
If power supply is installed outdoors: Risk of
Electric Shock. Install only to a covered Class A
GFCI receptacle (RCD) that has an enclosure
that is weatherproof with the attachment plug
cap inserted or removed.
AVERTISSEMENT : Do not under any
circumstances mount the power supply at a
height where there is a risk it can be submerged
in water (minimum 30 cm / 12 in. from the
Installation - 13
