INSTALLATION
Installation, step by step
The wires must be connected to the charging station’s terminal
block, as shown in this wiring diagram, when steps 3-11 in
these installations instructions are carried out.
NOTE! Do not let any metal objects touch the charging
station contact plates while the transformer mains cable
is plugged into the power socket. This can cause the
plates to short-circuit and the transformer fuse will trip.
There is no risk of harmful electric shock from the 15 V
low-voltage supply.
1. Select the placement for the charging station as set out in
“Planing the installation”.
2. Position the charging station and secure it to the ground using
the six nails supplied. Both wheel plates must be installed
beneath and in front of the charging station as shown in the
figure below. They prevent the occurrence of charging and
docking problems as a result of soil compaction.
Test the boundary wire with the aid of the switch on the
charging station, see the figure below.
• A continuous beep means that the search and
boundary wires are not broken.
• An series of beeps means incorrect installation or a
break in the search or boundary wire. Ensure that the
search and boundary wires have been laid in
accordance with the installation instructions, or
repair the break in the wire.
• If no beep is heard there is no power supply to the
charging station.
Use the tool supplied to connect the six wires to the terminal
block. See drawing.

If the Auto Mower leaves the charging station before the
boundary wire has been installed completely, it will stop in front
of the charging station and alarm “sense no signal from the
wire”. This alarm will stop automatically when the boundary wire
is connected. You can also switch off the Auto Mower’s alarm
by lifting the cover and entering the first digit of the code.
6. Install the boundary wire as set out in the description, see
“Installation of the boundary wire”. Wait to connect the cable
ends.
7. Install the search wire as set out in the description “Installation
of the search wire”. Wait to connect the cable ends.
8. If the Auto Mower is in the charging station – fold up the cover,
enter the first digit of the code and move the mower from the
charging station.
9. Lay the boundary wires in the wire channels. Trim the wires,
strip the insulation and connect to terminals 2 and 5, as shown
in the wiring diagram on the left.
10. Lay one search wire in the wire channel, as shown in the wiring
diagram on the left, strip the insulation and connect to terminal
6.
11. Lay the other search wire in one of the four slots available at the
front of the charging station (see drawing on left). For most
installations one of the two wire channels on the left is most
suitable. Strip the wire and connect to terminal 1.
Now place the Auto Mower at right angles to the search wire, a
couple of metres from the charging station, and key in the
command * 31 #. Check whether the Auto Mower’s contact pins
line up roughly with the centres of the contact plates when it
docks with the charging station. If they are not aligned with the
contact plates then you should disconnect the incoming search
wire from terminal 1 and route it through one of the other wire
channels. Repeat the docking operation three or four times to
ensure that the Auto Mower docks correctly with the charging
station
each time.
If the Auto Mower stops immediately and gives three beeps
when you key in the command * 31 #, and LED 4 flashes or
LED 6 glows steadily, then the wires have been connected
incorrectly. If this happens go back to steps 9 and 10 and check
that the installation is correct.
12. Make sure the surface in front of the charging station is com-
pletely flat, so that both of the Auto Mower’s charging pins make
good contact with the charging station’s contact plates. Adjust
the charging station vertically if necessary. See drawing below.
3. Strip both conductors on the low-voltage cable and connect to
positions 3 and 4 on the charging station terminal block. It does
not matter which of the conductors that are connected to
terminals 3 and 4.
4. Run the low voltage cable to the transformer. Insert the low
voltage cable connector in the transformer. Connect the
transformer’s mains cable to a 230 V wall socket.
5. As power is supplied to the charging station you can charge the
Auto Mower while the boundary wire and search wire are being
installed. Place the mower in the charging station with the ON/
STOP switch set to STOP for around 1 hour. Then lift the cover,
set the switch to ON, enter the code
*
0000 # and close the
cover. When the switch is set to STOP the battery is charged
using a very low current, which is kinder to the battery when it is
being charged for the first time.See also “Charging an empty
battery”. The first charge takes a few hours.
