Creating loops of cable (08)
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 (08/1) and then back to the previ-
ous lawn peg (08/3).
2. Then lead the boundary cable to the current
lawn peg (08/1) again. This creates a loop.
The cables must be close together.
3. If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in
the middle with an additional lawn peg (08/2).
4.5.7
Typical faults in cable routing (02)
■
The boundary cable is not led away straight
from the base station for at least 1 m (02/a).
■
Spare cable loops of the boundary cable are
not laid in an even, elongated loop (02/b).
■
The boundary cable is not routed properly
around corners (02/c).
■
The boundary cable is crossed over or not
routed clockwise (02/d).
■
The boundary cable is routed too imprecisely
so that edge areas of the grass surface can-
not be mowed (02/e).
■
Only for Robolinho 1100: The start points are
set too far away from the base station (02/f).
■
The boundary cable is not routed lying dir-
ectly next to itself when guided towards and
back from the edge to an obstacle inside the
lawn (02/g).
■
The boundary cable is routed beyond the
edge of the grass surface (02/h).
■
When routing the boundary cable, the min-
imum distance for corridors of 30 cm is un-
dercut (02/i).
■
The boundary cable is routed too close (i.e.
at a distance of less than 15 cm) to obstacles
that cannot be driven over (02/j).

Connecting the base station to the
power source (05)
1. Place the transformer (05/1) at a dry location,
protected from rain and spray.

2. Unwind the low voltage cable (05/3) of the
base station (05/4) and route (protected from
damage) to the site of the transformer.
3. Connecting the low voltage cable to the
transformer:
■
Unscrew the screws of the luster terminal
(05/2) until a wire of the low voltage cable
can be inserted into each opening.
■
Insert the wires.
Note: Attention does not have to be paid
to the polarity.
■
Screw in the screws of the luster terminal
until the wires have been securely
clamped.
4. Plug the mains connection cable (05/5) of the
transformer into the power socket.
NOTE
We recommend connecting the trans-
former to the mains supply via a earth
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a
rated leakage current < 30 mA.
4.7
Checking the connections on the base
station (05)
1. Check that both LEDs (05/8, 05/9) 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.
2. If necessary, loosen the screws (05/7) on the
cover (05/6) of the base station and remove
the cover.
Status indications of the LEDs
LEDs
Operating states
■
Yellow
Lights up if the power source is
(05/8)
intact.
■
Flashes if the appliance is in the
base station and is being
charged.
■
Green
Lights up when the boundary
(05/9)
cable is laid correctly and the
loop is intact.
■
Flashes if a loop of the bound-
ary cable is not in order.
