EQUIRED OOLS HAPTER HARGING TATION NSTALLATION EQUIREMENTS 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.
NSTALLATION FFSETS HAPTER HARGING TATION NSTALLATION EQUIREMENTS 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°).
