Installation of the charging base
•The charging base can be placed near the house. When laying the perimeter wire, leave
at least 1m of straight wire without obstacles in front of the charging base.
Note: The front of the perimeter wire of the charging base must be straight for 1m without
corners or obstacles to ensure proper docking of the product.
•The charging base must be placed on level ground. It should not be placed on a slanted
surface or anywhere that will cause your plate to bend.
•The charging station must be placed on relatively level ground. It should not be placed on
a slanted surface or anywhere that will cause your plate to bend.
•We recommend that the power supply is placed on the wall at a minimum height of 30
cm and that the power cable is outside the working area of the robotic lawnmower. If not,
you can bury it if you wish.
•The perimeter wire should be stripped about 10mm at one end.
•Insert the perimeter wire terminal (RED) into the OUT side, then the perimeter wire
through the slot under the charging base plate.
•When laying the perimeter wire in the work area, cut off the unnecessary wire, strip the
perimeter wire about 10mm at the other end, insert the other wire terminal (black) to the
IN side.
Perimeter Wire Installation
•When laying the perimeter wire, use the distance gauge to keep a 30cm gap between the
wire and the perimeter. Each peg should be placed about 80cm apart, use the gauge to
ensure proper installation. The work surface is usually an irregular area, the distance
between pegs can be reduced as appropriate for the type of perimeter and terrain.
NOTE: The maximum length allowed for the perimeter wire is 300 m.
