CHARGING STATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
INSTALLATION OFFSETS
Installation Offsets
If the entire field is on a slope, install the charging sta‐
tion on a flat portion at the top. The robot has no brake
when it is in charge mode and can slide away from the
charging arm contacts if the longitudinal slope is
greater than zero degrees (0°).
Charging Station
Installation Procedure
This is a basic installation procedure. Each installation
varies by application. Consult your authorized ECHO
Robotics dealer for specific questions.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend, warp, or crack the base
during installation.
1) Clear away debris from the installation area.
2) Remove the charging station from its packaging.
Lift if from the base, do not lift it from the
charging arm.
3) Remove the enclosure top from the base.
4) Range Picker applications only: Remove the
enclosure top, carefully lift it, rotate it 180 °, and
place it back onto the base (ensure no wires are
pulled or pinched).

5) Move the charging station to the final installation
location. Place the front of the enclosure top the
required distance from the station loop periph‐
eral wire.
Peripheral Wire Installation
1) Route all peripheral wires under the base and up
through a cord grip. Allow a minimum length of
15.7 in. (400 mm) of each wire inside the enclo‐
sure top. Provide excess wire under the base for
future repositioning.
2) Hand tighten the cord grips.
3) Remove 0.3 in. (8 mm) of insulation from the end
of each wire.

4) Loosen the surge protector(s) terminal screws,
insert the ends of the wires into the surge
protector(s) at the locations shown, securely
tighten the terminal screws.
5) Use an adjustable wrench or slip‐joint pliers to
securely tighten the cord grips.
14 AWG AC Wire Installation
1) Pull the wires through the conduit and the
connector. Place the seal on the threaded side of
the connector.
2) Place the connector into the input panel.
Assemble the nut (from inside of panel) onto the
connector. Allow 15.7 in. (400 mm) of wire on
the inside of the enclosure top.

3) Remove 0.4 in. (11 mm) of insulation from the
end of each wire.
4) Install each wire into its corresponding large
terminal block opening.
5) Insert a flat‐blade screwdriver into the small
opening of the terminal block directly behind the
wire and pry the spring contact open. Only install
one wire per terminal block opening. The
stripped ends of the wire (or stray strands of
wire) must remain on the inside of the terminal
block.
6) Remove the screwdriver. Firmly pull each wire to
verify a secure connection.
Securing the Base
Mower application only: Remove underground haz‐
ards below the charging station. Use a hammer to
install the four landscaping spikes to secure the base to
the ground.
Range Picker application only: Use the appropriate
size and type of fastener to secure the charging station
to the foundation of the ball collection system.

POWERING ON
LED INDICATORS
Powering ON
The power switch is located under the debris cover.
Move the power switch to the ON position to energize
the DC output of the charging station and the periph‐
eral wires.
NOTE: When the power switch is in ON position, the
TEST LED will not illuminate.
Move the power switch to the OFF position to turn off
the DC output. Move the power switch to the TEST
position to energize the DC output of the charging sta‐
tion and the peripheral wire(s).
NOTE: When the power switch is in the TEST position,
the TEST LED will illuminate.
LED Indicators
Four LED indicators are located on the input panel on
the back side of the charger.
IMPORTANT: If an LED is not illuminated, AC power
may still be present.
