Thank you for choosing NOVARDEN! Before you use your robot
mower, you need to install several pieces of equipment. Follow this
installation manual step by step for easy installation, no matter your
lawn type.
Installation is an important step, as it ensures that the robot mower
is able to move correctly and eectively around a specic lawn area.
The perimeter cable connes the robot mower to one area, allowing
you to protect delicate objects on your lawn. Once the perimeter
cable is installed and the charging station is plugged in, the robot
mower is ready to start its rst mowing cycle.
The robot mower takes a random mowing path in the marked out
area and returns to its charging station at the end of each mowing
cycle.

Preparing the lawn
EN
Preparing the lawn
• Level out the mowing area
Level out the ground, ll up holes, puddles, and any other
element that could make the robot mower freeze during its
mowing cycle.
• Clear the lawn of obstacles
Stones, fruit, branches, sprinkler heads, tools, etc.
Follow the following recommendations to ensure the robot mower
operates correctly and to avoid wasting time:

NOTE: If the grass on your lawn is long, the robot mower may not operate eectively
or may encounter diculties when on the move. We therefore recommend manually
mowing your lawn one last time before the robot mower’s rst mowing cycle.

Installing the charging station
EN
Where to place your charging station
Choosing where to place your charging station is important
because:
• It helps the robot mower return to its charging station.
• The perimeter cable, which marks out the robot mower’s
mowing area, starts and ends at the charging station.
Recommendations
NOVARDEN recommends installing the charging station in a corner
so that the robot mower is able to detect it more easily.
• Charging station installation in a corner (Figure 1).
• Charging station installation along a wall (Figure 2).
• Flat ground (+/- 5% slope).
• Near an electricity supply.
• With 2m space in front of the charging station.
• With 1m space behind the charging station.
• 35cm away from the wall.
Figure 1 Figure 2

Installing the charging station
EN
NOTE:
• The charging station must be plugged into the mains supply after installing the
perimeter cable.
• Install the charging station away from any water points or sprinkler systems.
• The charging station must be at least 2m from any electrical equipment that
could cause possible interferences, such as routers.
• Do not place the charging station in a conned space. The robot mower may
encounter diculties nding it (Figure 1).
• An “IN” arrow is on the charging station (Figure 2). It indicates the direction the
base should be placed. The arrow must point towards the lawn.

Installing the perimeter cable
EN
NOTE: Before connecting the perimeter cable to the right terminal, cut the end
closest to the charging station, taking care to leave a margin of 5-10cm.

Charging station direction
Install the perimeter cable in a clockwise direction:
connect one end of the cable to the charging station’s Left
terminal (G) and pass it underneath the charging station.
Pull the cable in a straight line at least 2m. Then mark
out the areas in your garden in a clockwise direction.
Close the loop by connecting the perimeter cable to the
Right terminal (D) maintaining a distance of at least 1m
minimum. Never cross the IN and OUT cables to avoid
cancelling out the signal.
The perimeter cable allows you to mark out on the ground the area
that must not be passed during the mowing cycle. The cable must
make a loop around the robot mower’s working area.
The loop starts with the “Out ” cable and is closed o by the “In ”
cable (Figure 1). Ensure the cable is securely underneath the charging
station and connected to the outlet so that it does not move. Only
use the perimeter cable provided.

When laying the cable, which marks out your lawn,
start from the place where you have chosen to
locate your charging station (Figures 1 and 2).

Strip one end of the cable (Figure 1). Insert the stripped end into the
connector and clip it in (Figure 2). Attach it to the back of the charging
station left terminal (Figure 3). Pass the cable under the charging
station making sure that it is secured underneath using the notches
provided (Figure 4). You can start marking out your lawn (Figure 5).

In cable.
Leave 1m 20cm distance if the lawn borders water.

Marking out the mowing area
You can now mark our your mowing area with the perimeter cable

Securing the cable to the ground
Secure the perimeter cable around your lawn using the pegs and
your hammer (Figures 1 and 2). Use as many pegs as necessary to
ensure the cable stays in the ground. Leave a gap of at least 70cm
between the pegs.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Figure 3 Figure 4
Once you have tested your installation with your robot mower, you
can bury the perimeter cable, if you wish.
To do so, using a trowel, dig a trench at least 2cm deep in the place
where you plan to lay your cable. Place the cable in the trench and
cover back over with soil. It will not be visible to the eye but the robot
mower will be able to detect it.
NOTE: Corners must be rounded or smooth and over 90° (Figures 3 and 4). A
minimum length of 40cm is required between two pegs.

Installing the perimeter cable

If your lawn includes rigid or delicate
obstacles, take note of the following points:
Rigid obstacles: rigid obstacles, measuring over 15 cm tall, do not
need to be cordoned o by the perimeter cable. The robot mower
changes direction each time it makes contact with one of them.
You should lay the perimeter cable around rigid obstacles surrounded
by a ower bed or gravel to prevent the robot mower damaging the
ower beds or its blades on the gravel or other decorative elements.
Delicate obstacles: you must cordon o these obstacles (bushes, owers,
ponds, small decorative objects less than 15cm tall).

Securing the charging station
You can now secure the charging station to the ground using the 6
stakes provided (Figure 2).
Connecting the “In” cable to the charging station
After trimming the mowing area, lay down and connect the end of
the perimeter cable to the right terminal on the charging station
(Figure 1). To do so, strip the end of the cable, secure it in the
connector, then insert it in the right terminal on the base.

Repairing or extending the perimeter cable
The cable connectors are watertight accessories that can be
used to repair or extend the cable.
• To repair the cable: if the perimeter cable is cut, for example.
• To extend the cable: if the perimeter cable is not long enough
to mark out all of your lawn.
1. Insert the cable into one of the connector’s terminal.
2. Insert the other cable into the other connector’s terminal.
3. Press the blue button.
NOTE: gel comes out of the connector when you press the blue part. It protects
the cables and prevents rusting. The connector must only be used once.

Plugging in the power cable
The mains supply must be:
• Near the charging station.
• Sheltered from rain.
• Sheltered from the sun.
• If the power supply is plugged into an external outlet it must be
certied for external use.
NOTE: You can extend the power cable using the extension cable.
Plug the power cable into an
electrical outlet (Figure 3). If
it is plugged in correctly, the
indicator light is green.
NOTE: If the indicator light alternates
between red and green, please consult
the Troubleshooting table in the user
manual.
