Page 2: Installation
Installation Preliminary Remarks Maximum Covering suggested We must check the maximum Sm suggested for each model, also on the base of the installed batteries. However it is a good rule not to exaggerate and keep in mind that on more complicated gardens, with different separated areas the Sm covered by the robot are reduced. - Page 3 Place it in an area protected from water. Better to put it indoors. If it is placed outside, please put it in a ventilated box and not exposed to sun or water. It would be better to put it in a refreshed area. It must be outside the garden and not inside it.
- Page 4 Arrows measures. IMPORTANT!!!!. Once the installation is completed and the perimeter cable is connected, check that the transformer and the transmitter are working Model: Ambrogio L300 properly. Transmitter Led Explanation: Flashing Yellow : Border Ok. Steady Green...
- Page 5 Secondary Area The secondary area is a part of the garden connected to the main garden by a narrow passage that is hard to be achieved by chance. Saying if the passage is big or small for the robot depends on the primary area dimension. Obviously the secondary area must be at the same level of the primary area (without steps).
- Page 6 is connected as usual. The recharging base in garden no 2 is placed on the border wire without connecting the cable to the black and red connector. ATTENTION!!!. Robot transmitter “1” must have the DIP- SWITCH 1 ON, to transmit even when robot 1 is in its recharging base Advantages: No change must be done with the robots you have.

Page 7: To Remind Before The Installation
To remind before the installation You have to keep in mind that : Before the installation : Have You cut the garden before the installation, especially the edges? Is there a socket preferably in the widest area? How wide is the garden? check the model specification and the batteries provided During the installation Put the robot into charge on “PAUSE”... -

- Page 11 With the mobile phone, it is possible to make the following operations: ' Drive the robot in all directions. Pay attention: when the robot meets the perimeter cable or it bumps, the robot has the priority control over the mobile phone. Until the movement for re-entering the perimeter has not been fulfilled, it is not possible to control the robot with the mobile.

Service Menu Service Menu - (Release November 2009) Only retailers and authorized technicians can enter the Service menu. There are some submenus. All the indications are in English only 1. “Statistics”: Used to verify the health state of the machine. It informs about working hours, errors occurred and state of batteries. -
Page 17: Service Menu: "Statistics
Service Menu: “Statistics” This menu allows you to check the robot conditions. Here you can find info about working time, errors and batteries. The following info is displayed: First Charge date of the first charge. Charge Number of charges done. Charge Time time necessary to charge the batteries. -
Page 18: Service Menu "Battery Type
Different values indicate failure problems, errors with the encoder (pulse control card) or broken “F1” fuse in the Mother Board Should the wheel motors register a high current absorption, the wheel motor speed will be brought back to 0% in few seconds. Service Menu “Battery Type”... -
Page 19: Service Menu "Border Blade
Service Menu “Border Blade” This option allows you to switch off the cutting disc during the wire following. It can be helpful whenever there are strong signal disturbs and the robot can not find the perimeter wire while looking for the charger. - OFF- it disables the cutting disc - ON- it enables the cutting disc (default setting up). -
Page 20: Errors Displayed By The Robot And Related Causes
Errors displayed by the robot and related causes Errors list BUS Error The Bus Error shows a communication problem between the motherboard and the peripheral devices. The problem can occur as follows: • During the working time, the robot displays the message for 1 sec. then it disappears immediately and the robot keeps working. - Page 21 it is necessary to install the signal amplifier and eventually try to substitute the coil and sinus receiver. If the problem occurs near a footpath it can be caused by the cement. Try to place the wire at 10-15 cm from the border. Correct parameters in wire impedance to be measured on the white connector which reaches the transmitter.
- Page 22 connect the transmitter to the base up to the recharging springs. When the robot is not in the docking station, check the plates tension with a tester. For the Lithium should be 29,3V. When the robot is switched on CHARGING in its docking station, check with a tester the tension of the plates and of the charging nuts.
- Page 23 Lithium Batteries. Reference values. When the display shows “battery ……. L” 2200 the mother board turns off. 2340 Battery Type “A” - it turns off the blade 2390 Battery Type “A” – it goes to the recharging base 2480 Battery Type “B” - it turns off the blade 2520 Battery Type “B”...
- Page 24 “Blocked”. When the robot does not perceive the cable or a crash for 5 minutes, it tries to turn by 90° three times consecutively then it stops and displays “Blocked”. Generally, it happens when the robot is held up into a hole or if the wheels are loose.
- Page 25 perimeter wire from the red and black cable in the base (B). If even in this case the impedance is too high, it means that the perimeter is really interrupted. Otherwise the interruption is under the base. Approximately the impedance should be as here below indicated: 200 mt cable 2.8 ohm 400 mt cable 5.6 ohm 600 mt cable 8.4 ohm...
