This chapter contains information that is important to be
aware of when planning the installation.
Installing a robotic lawnmower involves four main
components:
• A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by essentially
operating in a random pattern. The robotic lawnmower
is powered by a maintenance-free battery.
• A charging station, to where the robotic lawnmower
automatically returns when the charge level in the
battery becomes too low.The charging station has
three functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary wire.
• To send control signals along the guide wire.
• To charge the battery in the robotic lawnmower.
• A power supply, which is connected between the
charging station and a 100V-240V wall socket. The
power supply is connected to the wall socket and to
the charging station using a 10 m long low voltage
cable. The low voltage cable must not be shortened
or extended.
A longer low voltage cable is available as optional
accessory. Please contact GARDENA Central Service
for more information.
The appearance of the power supply may differ
depending on market.
• A loop wire, laid in a loop around the robotic
lawnmower’s working area. The loop wire is laid
around the edges of the lawn and around objects and
plants that the robotic lawnmower must not run into.
The loop wire is also used as the guide wire.
The wire supplied for the installation is:
R100Li,
R100LiC
R130Li,
R130LiC
R160Li
Wire length, m
200 250 250
If this is not sufcient, more wire can be purchased
and spliced onto the existing wire with a coupler.
The maximum permitted length for the boundary loop
is 800 m.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always use genuine spare parts and ac-
cessories
