CHAPTER 6 CHARGING STATION INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
6. Charging Station Installation Requirements
Identify the location of AC power, Station Loop, Field Zone 1, and Field Zone 2 peripheral wires before
installing the charging station. Install the charging station on flat ground where flooding or water accu‐
mulation will not occur. Do not bend, warp, or crack the base during installation.
6.1. Required Tools
6.2. AC Power Supply Wiring
Use 14 AWG electrical wire and ½ in. liquid‐tight electrical conduit for AC power into the charging station.
NOTE: Wire and conduit are not included with the charging station.

INSTALLATION OFFSETS
CHAPTER 6 CHARGING STATION INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
6.3. Installation Offsets
Install the charging station on flat ground whenever possible. If the entire field is on a slope, install the
charging station on a flat portion at the top. The robot has no brake when it is in charge mode. The robot
can slide away from the charging contacts if the longitudinal slope (by which the robot enters the
charging station) is greater than zero degrees (0°).

CHAPTER 7 CHARGING STATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
7. Charging Station Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT: Do not bend, warp, or crack the base during installation.
Follow all safety instructions. See Safety Instructions.
This procedure is a basic overview of the charging station installation. Each installation varies by applica‐
tion. Consult your dealer for specific questions regarding installation.
7.1. Station Loop, Field Zone 1, and Field Zone 2 Charging Stations
1) Clear debris, cut grass, or vegetation from the installation location.
2) Remove the charging station from its packaging. Lift the charging station from the base, do not lift
it from the charging arm.
3) Remove the M5 nuts (8X) from the base of the enclosure top and save for reassembly.
4) Range Picker configuration only: Carefully lift and rotate the enclosure top 180°. Align the holes in
the enclosure top with the holes in the base. Place the enclosure top 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
26.4 in. (670 mm) from the Station Loop, Field Zone 1, and Field Zone 2 peripheral wires.
6) Route the Station Loop, Field Zone 1, and Field Zone 2 peripheral wires under the base and up
through a cord grip. Allow a minimum length of 15.7 in. (400 mm) of each peripheral wire inside the
enclosure top. Hand‐tighten the cord grips. Provide excess wire under the base for future reposi‐
tioning.

7) Remove 0.3 in. (8 mm) of insulation from the end of each peripheral wire.
8) Loosen the surge protector(s) terminal screws, insert the stripped ends of the peripheral wires into
the surge protector(s) at the locations shown, securely tighten the terminal screws.
9) Use an adjustable wrench or slip‐joint pliers to securely tighten the cord grips. This will secure the
peripheral wires to the base, and create a water‐tight seal.
10) Pull the 14 AWG AC wires through the ½ in. liquid‐tight conduit. Assemble conduit connector,
fitting, and seal, to the liquid‐tight conduit. Place the conduit connector into the input panel. Place
