6. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Cause of fault message
Automower will not pass through narrow
passages.
The position of the charging station is
unsuitable.
The charging plate (F-coil) is defective.
Poor contact between the Automower and
the charging station.
The battery is spent or defective.
The charging station leans.
Contact between the charging cable's
cable lugs and the charging strips on the
Automower is poor.
Contact between the flat-pin connectors
(2) and the contact strips on the charging
station is poor.
Contact between the charging strips on
the Automower and the contact strips in
the charging station is poor.
The charging cable connector on the
chassis is defective.
The control box on the Automower is
defective.
An object prevents the Automower from
rolling out of the charging station.
The contact strips jams.
The drive wheel is clogged by dirt.
Action/Check
Check all passages in the working area by positioning the
mower beyond the passage, seen in the direction from
the charging station, and press Home. If the mower does
not pass through the passage, change the Corridor width
setting via Garden - Follow loop – Corridor width (shortcut
3-2-3).
Check that the charging station has been placed as set
out in the installation instructions.
Check the F-signal from the charging station: Place the
Automower in the test position and then check the value
via the Quick check function (Press and hold the 0 key
down for 2 seconds). The F-coil is defective if the value
for F is lower than 300. The charging plate must be
replaced.
Check the charging current from the charging station:
Place the Automower in the test position and then check
the value via the Quick check function (Press and hold
the 0 key down for 2 seconds). Contact is poor if the
current (I) is lower than 3,0 A (1.6 A for 220 AC). Now
check the contact strips on the charging station and
charging strips and charging cabling on the mower.
When the running time on the mower exceeds
3000 hours the battery is spent.
Let the Automower dock itself in the charging station by
pressing Home. Check that the charging strips and
contact strips make good contact. Also test the charging
current with the help of the Quick check function (press
and hold the 0 key down for 2 seconds). The current (I)
should be at least 3,0 A (1.6 A for 220 AC).
Check that the charging station does not lean to the side
and that the charging plate is not bent.
Check the cable lugs. File off any corrosion. Replace the
entire charging cable assembly if necessary.
Lift off the cover on the charging station and check the
connection.
Check that the contact strips on the charging station are
not jammed. Round off the charging strips on the
Automower if necessary using emery cloth and lubricate
with copper paste.
Check that the charging cable connectors and the
charging cables on the mower are undamaged.
Replace the control box. See page 91 to replace.
Remove the object.
Check that the contact strips on the charging station are
not jammed. Round off the charging strips on the
Automower if necessary using emery cloth and lubricate
with copper paste.
Check that the drive wheel does not slip when the mower
leaves the charging station. Clean the drive wheel and
the base plate on the charging station.
