The charging station should not be placed on an island
as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal
way. However, if the charging station has to be installed
on an island, the guide wire also has to be connected to
the island. Read more about islands in the
within the working area on page 16 .
3.3.2 Connecting the power supply
Take the following into consideration when planning
where to place the power supply:
• Close to the charging station
• Protection from rain
• Protection from direct sunlight
WARNING: The robotic lawnmower is only to be
used with a power supply unit supplied by
Husqvarna.
The power supply must be placed where it is well
ventilated and must be placed under a roof. If the power
supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this
must be approved for outdoor use. It is recommended to
use an earth fault-breaker (RCD) when connecting the
power supply to the wall socket.
WARNING: Applicable to USA/Canada. If the
power supply is installed outdoors: Risk of
Electric Shock. Install only to a covered Class A
GFCI receptacle (RCD) that has an enclosure
that is weatherproof with the attachment plug
cap inserted or removed.
No parts of the power supply must be changed or
tampered with. For example, the low voltage cable must
362 - 002 - 06.02.2018
not be shortened or extended. Low voltage cables with 3
m / 10 ft. or 20 m / 66 ft. length are available as optional
accessories.
Boundaries
It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the
working area. The low voltage cable must be stapled
down or buried, and the cutting height should be such
that the blades on the blade disc can never come in
contact with the low voltage cable.
Make sure the low voltage cable is laid along the ground
and secured with pegs. The cable must lie close to the
ground so as not to be cut before the grass roots have
grown over it.
The low voltage cable must never be stored in a coil or
under the charging station s base plate as this can
interfere with the signals from the charging station.
If the power supply cannot be plugged directly into a wall
socket, do not under any circumstances mount the
power supply at a height where there is a risk it can be
submerged in water (at least 30 cm / 12 in. from the
ground). It is not permitted to place the power supply on
the ground.
