Notes On The Docking Station - Stihl RMI 522.0 C Instruction Manual

9.1 Notes on the docking station

Requirements for the docking station
location:
– Protected, shady.
Direct sunlight can lead to increased
temperatures in the machine and longer
battery charging times.
A canopy top available as an accessory
can be mounted on the docking station.
This provides better protection for the
robotic mower against the weather.
– Easily visible.
The docking station should be easily
visible in its chosen location to prevent
the risk of tripping over it.
– In the immediate vicinity of a suitable
socket.
The mains connection must be close
enough to the docking station that the
respective power cables can be
connected to both the docking station
and the mains connection – do not
change the power cable of the power
supply unit.
A socket with overvoltage protection is
recommended.
– Free from sources of interference.
Metal, iron oxides and magnetic or
electrically conductive materials as well
as old perimeter wire installations can
interfere with the mower's operation. It
is recommended to remove these
sources of interference.

– Level and flat.
Uneven ground has a significant
influence on the robotic mower's
docking. It must be ensured that the
ground underneath the docking station
floor plate is level and flat. Level or
flatten the ground if necessary.
Preparatory measures:
● Mow the lawn using a conventional
lawn mower prior to initial installation
(ideal grass height max. 6 cm).
● In the case of a hard and dry surface,
water the mowing area lightly in order to
make it easier to drive in the fixing pins.
Mowing areas must not overlap. Maintain
a minimum clearance of ≥ 1 m between
the perimeter wires of two mowing areas.
The docking station must not be inclined
by more than 8 cm rearwards or 2 cm
forwards.
Never bend the floor plate. Any
unevenness must be removed under the
floor plate so that it fully contacts the
ground.
Installation options:
The docking station can be installed
internally and externally.
