3.2 Main components for installation

The installation involves the following components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary
wire.
• To send control signals along the guide wire
so that the product can follow the guide wire
to specific remote areas in the garden and
can find its way back to the charging station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V power outlet.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work area
and around objects and plants that the product
must not run into. The loop wire is used both as
boundary wire and guide wire.

3.3 To prepare for installation

Read the installation chapter before you start the
installation. Prepare the installation carefully to make the
product operate satisfactorily.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and include all
obstacles. This makes it easier to examine where
to put the charging station, the boundary wire and
the guide wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put the
charging station, the boundary wire and the guide
wire.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where the guide wire
connects to the boundary wire. Refer to
the guide wire on page 20 .
• Fill in holes in the lawn to make it level.
