  • Page 6: Installing The Ac Adapter

    Installing the AC Adapter Choose a well-ventilated shaded place where raindrops do not fall into. Place the AC adapter keeping 30 cm or more height from the ground. It is recommended to fix the AC adapter on the wall using screws. NOTICE: To prevent the connector from being deformed or damaged, connect the connector straight without tilting it.

  • Page 7: Installing The Boundary Wire

    Installing the Boundary Wire • The boundary wire is installed around the outermost side of the area where the Robotic Mower will perform the mowing work. Install the bound- ary wire so that it encloses the work area in a single, unbroken line and connect both ends of the boundary wire to the charging station. •...
  • Page 8 Image Condition Place partitions (obstacles) with a height of 15 cm or more around the areas that the Robotic Mower should never enter. In addition, install the boundary wire 35 cm or more away from the partition in order to prevent contact with the partition. (An area of about 25 cm will be left unmowed.
  • Page 9 Image Condition - The maximum length of the route starting from the charging station, guide wire, boundary wire, and back in the charging station as illustrated in the figure should be 400 m or less. - The allowable space that you can limit by laying the boundary wire is up to 3,500 - The maximum length of the boundary wire is up to 800 m including the islands and sub areas.
  • Page 10 Installing the boundary wire NOTE: The boundary wire should be extended straight 1.5 m or more from both sides of the charging station. NOTE: For details such as the installation distance from obstacles, refer to “Connecting the Wires to the Charging Station” (page 18). Drive the first peg near the charging station using a plastic hammer and place the boundary wire.
  • Page 11 After installing the boundary wire up to the charging station, drive the peg near the opposite side of the peg at the starting point using a plastic hammer. Fig.7 ► 1. Peg at starting point 2. Peg at ending point Cut the wire, leaving a length of wire that can be connected to the charging station.
  • Page 12 Cut the excess boundary wire using nippers leaving 1 cm of it from the connector. Fig.10 Attach a connector to the other boundary wire in the same manner. NOTE: Do not connect the connectors to the charging station at this time. The connection with the charging station is explained later in “Connecting the Wires to the Charging Station”...
  • Page 13 • Make multiple islands as follows. Fig.12 ► 1. Boundary wire 2. Peg Making a sub area If there is a separate work area to which a path that enables the Robotic Mower to navigate automatically from the charging station cannot be pro- vided, that work area is designated as a sub area (b).
  • Page 14 Installing the Guide Wire The guide wire leads the Robotic Mower to the charging station. This wire also guides the Robotic Mower to areas that the Robotic Mower works less frequently due to topographical reasons, etc. NOTE: Up to 2 guide wires can be installed. NOTE: Do not branch the guide wire.
  • Page 15 Installing the guide wire Cut the boundary wire loop (eyelet) made in advance at the boundary wire - guide wire connection site. Fig.14 ► 1. Boundary wire Insert the guide wire to the center port and the boundary wires to the left and right ports of the three connection ports of the supplied coupler. Fig.15 ►...
  • Page 16 Drive the pegs on both sides of the connecting point using a plastic hammer. Fig.17 ► 1. Peg NOTE: Make sure that the connection between the guide wire and the boundary wire is approximately 90°. Install the guide wire by driving the pegs up to the charging station using a plastic hammer. •...
  • Page 17 Insert and fix the guide wire in the groove in the center of the station base. Fig.20 ► 1. Groove 2. Station base Attach a connector to the tip of the guide wire. NOTE: Refer to page11 for how to attach the connector. When installing a second guide wire, repeat steps 1 through 8.
  • Page 18 Securing the charging station Make sure that the cabtire cable can reach to the charging station and then secure it with screw pegs (8pcs) using the hex wrench 6. Fig.23 ► 1. Hex wrench 6 2. Screw peg (for fixing the charging station) (8 pcs) Connecting the Wires to the Charging Station When finished installing the wires, connect the boundary wire, guide wire, and cabtire cable to the charging station.
