Installation; Charging Station - Husqvarna Automower 420 Technical Manual

3 Installation

3.1 Charging station

The placement of the charging station should be
well planned in order to give the best installation
and operation of the robotic lawnmower. See
also 3.2 Installation of the charging station in the
Operator's Manual.
• The charging station should have a
central position in the working area so
that the robotic lawnmower is close to it
from all parts of the installation.
• The charging station must be positioned
so that the boundary wire can be laid
1.5 meters directly out to the left and
1.5 meters directly to the right from the
charging station. See the Operator's
Manual.
• The charging station must be positioned
so that the guide wire can be laid
2 meters straight out from the front edge
of the charging station.
• The charging station must be positioned
so that the entire guide loop is not too
long. The guide loop should not be longer
than about 400 meters.
The guide loop is defined as the guide
wire from the charging station to the
T-connector in the boundary wire plus the
boundary wire from the T-connector to
the charging station, going left from the
T-connector. Refer to 3.3 Guide wire on
page 38.
• The charging station must be positioned
on relatively level ground. See the
adjacent picture.
• The battery is spared if charged in the
lowest possible ambient temperature.
Consequently, it is beneficial if the
charging station can be placed where it
is shaded, especially during the warmest
parts of the day.
• The power supply must be placed where
it is well ventilated and is not exposed to
direct sunlight. Under no circumstances
may it be enclosed in any form of small
box or plastic bag. The power supply
should be placed under a roof, preferably
indoors.
• The power supply must be mounted on a
vertical surface, such as a wall or a fence.
Screw the power supply in place using
the 2 mounting eyelets. No screws are
supplied. Select screws suitable for the
material in question.
