Connecting power to the charging station.
- Connect the plugs: Connect the charging station's cable to the power supply's cable.
- Connect the power supply: Plug the power supply into a 230v socket.
- Secure the charging station: Once the charging station is correctly positioned, secure it to the ground with the 6 pegs through the mounting holes.
- Be careful with the boundary cable: Avoid hitting, stretching, or breaking the cable when screwing in the pegs.
- Check the installation: Check the control lamp on the charging station to ensure everything is correctly connected.
Control Lamp | Meaning |
Off | The charging station is not connected to power. |
Green light (symbol 1) | The boundary cable is connected correctly, the robotic lawn mower is ready, and the battery is fully charged. |
Flashing green (symbol 2+3) | There is a break in the boundary cable. The ends of the boundary cable are connected in reverse at the charging station. Correct the error |
Red light (symbol 4) | The battery is charging. |
Alternating flashing green and red | Maintenance charging of the battery (trickle charging). |
Error with the boundary cable signal:
- Check the length of the boundary cable: Ensure it is not longer than 250 metres.
- Check the connections: Ensure the connections are dry and correctly made. Use the included connector sleeve without stripping the cable first.
- Measure the resistance: Remove the ends of the boundary cable from the charging station and measure the resistance with a multimeter. A new cable should have a resistance of about 2 Ohms per 100 metres. If the resistance is over 8-10 Ohms, the cable may need to be replaced.
- Create a test track: Use approximately 10 metres of boundary cable to create a test track to check if the robotic lawn mower works correctly. Remember to remove the ends from the correct boundary cable from the charging station first.
Using the connector sleeve:
- Control lamp flashes green: This indicates a break in the boundary cable.
- Prepare the cable: Cut the ends of the cable cleanly with a pair of wire cutters.
- Connector sleeve: Insert the ends of the cable into a connector sleeve without stripping them.
- Compression: Use a flat pliers to compress the connector sleeve tightly, so the metal plate inside goes through the insulation and restores the connection.
When the control lamp lights green, the boundary cable is likely correctly laid and connected. Here are some simple tips:
- Pegs: Ensure all plastic pegs are driven completely into the ground.
- Cable: Check that the cable lies tight and flat against the ground.
- Signal: If there are errors, double-check the connections at the charging station.
