Charging Contacts (SPP0031A) Replacement Instructions
Friendly Robotics has developed magnetic contacts for the RL1000 and the Charging Station.
The magnetic contacts confirm good contact between the Robomower charging contacts and the Docking
Station contacts, reduce the cases of burnt contacts and increase the lifetime of the contacts.
Because of failure in the production process at the manufacturer plant the Docking Station plates were lose
from its magnetic
The current contacts you have in the Docking Station will work well, but their lifetime will be shorter than the
magnetic contacts.
Magnetic contacts were sent for replacement, below are the instructions to replace the contacts:
In case, which the Docking Station is already in operation follow the instructions from step A. If the Docking
Station is still in the box start in step C:
A. Remove the Robomower from the Docking Station.
B. Disconnect the Power Supply from the wall socket.
C. Disconnect the two cables (Red and Green) from the tabs on the Docking Station contacts, as illustrated in
Figure 1 below.
D. Open the screws at the sides of the contacts, as illustrated in Figure 2 below and remove the contacts
