TECHNICAL INFORMATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

The appliance is a robot designed and built to automatically cut grass in gardens and lawns at any time of the day. It is small, compact, silent and easy to transport.

Depending on the characteristics of the surface to mow, the robot can be programmed to mow several areas: a primary area and then secondary areas (based on the model).

During operation, the robot mows the area delimited by the perimeter wire.

When the robot detects the perimeter wire or encounters an obstacle with a height above 10 cm (3.94 in.), it changes direction in a random manner and starts mowing again in a new direction.

Based on its operating principle (“random”), the robot automatically mows the entire delimited area of the lawn (see ﬁ gure).

The lawn surfaces that the robot can mow depend on a series of factors, such as:

model of the robot and type of batteries • installed

characteristics of the area (irregular • perimeters, uneven surfaces, divided areas, etc.)

characteristics of the lawn (type and height • of the grass, moisture, etc.)

conditions of the blade (level of sharpness, • without residuals or encrustations, etc.)

RANDOM OPERATION

All the models are equipped with a sensor that, in case of rain, stops the blade and returns the robot to the charging station. On request, the models can be equipped with upgraded transmitter, power supply safety box and electronic alarm. For more details, refer to the Technical Speciﬁ cations. Each robot comes with its own recognition password to prevent it from being used if stolen. At the time of purchase, the password entered by the manufacturer consists of four numbers (0000). To personalise the password see “Programming Mode” (Password function).

SAFETY DEVICES

Bumpers1.

The bumper sensor is enabled if the robot strikes a solid object higher than 10 cm (3.94 in.). This sensor will stop the movement in that direction and move backwards to avoid the obstacle.

2. Inclinometer

If the robot works on a slope which is steeper than the maximum limit, or tips over, this safety device will stop the cutting blade.

3. Emergency stop switch

Located on the control panel, red in colour. Pressing this button at any time during operation will immediately stop the movement of the mower and the rotation of the blade will stop within 2 seconds.

4. Over-current protection

The motors (blade and wheels) are monitored continuously during operation for any situation that may cause them to overheat. If this occurs in the wheel motor, the robot will attempt to move in the opposite direction. If the over-current persists, the robot will stop and signal an error. If the cutting motor overheats, then there are two types of intervention. If the parameters fall within the ﬁ rst range, the robot will perform the manoeuvres to unblock the cutting blade. If the over-current is below the protection range, the robot will stop and signal a motor error.

5. No signal of the sensor

If there is no signal on the perimeter cable, the robot will automatically stop.

6. Lifting sensor.

In the event that the robot is lifted from the ground by the central handle, the cutting blade will stop rotating.

SAFETY FOR MAN AND THE ENVIRONMENT DURING DISPOSAL

Do not disregard any polluting material into the environment. Dispose of the robot according to the • applicable laws.

In reference to the WEEE Directive (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), during the phasing • out of the machine, the user must separate the electrical and electronic components and dispose of them in special authorised waste collection centres, or take them back to the retailer when purchasing a new one.

All the parts, which must be collected separately or disposed of in a speciﬁ c manner, are marked with • a special label.

Unauthorised disposal of Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is punishable with • sanctions regulated by the laws in force in the country where the infraction took place.

For example, to implement the European directives (2002/95/CE, 2002/96/CE, 2003/108/CE) in Italy, • a legislative decree was issued (No. 151 of 25 July 2005) which provides for an administrative ﬁ ne of € 2000÷5000.

Electric and Electronic Equipment may contain hazardous substances having potentially harmful effects on the environment and on the health of people. It is recommended to correctly dispose of this waste.

PLANNING OF PLANT INSTALLATION

The robot is not difﬁ cult to install, but requires some preliminary planning in order to deﬁ ne the best area for installing the charging station, the power supply-transmitter unit and for tracing the path of the perimeter wire.

INSTALLATION AREA OF THE CHARGING STATION AND POWER SUPPLY-TRANSMITTER UNIT

The charging station must be positioned on • the edge of the lawn, preferably in the largest area where other areas of the lawn are easily accessible. The area with the charging station is hereinafter referred to as the “Primary Area.”

Position the power supply-transmitter unit in an area that cannot be accessed by children. For example, at a height above 160 cm (63 in.)

Operation of the robot. The robot must be able to easily ﬁ nd the charging station at the • end of the work cycle, which will also be the departure point for a new work cycle and for reaching any other work areas (hereinafter referred to as the “Secondary Areas”).

Position the charging station according to these rules :•

- On level ground

- On compact and stable ground with good drainage

- Preferably in the largest area of the lawn

- In case of sprinklers, make sure the water jets are not directed inside the charging station.

- Make sure the entrance of the charging station is positioned as shown in the ﬁ gure so that the robot can enter it by following the perimeter wire in a clockwise direction.

- There must be a straight area of 200 cm (78.74 in.) in front of the base.

The charging station must be well fastened to the ground. To prevent a small step from for-• ming in front of the base, position a small piece of fake grass at its entrance as prevention. Alternatively, remove part of the grassy surface and install the base ﬂ ush with the grass.

The charging station is connected to the power supply-transmitter unit via a cord that must move away from the charging station on the outside of the cutting area.

Warning - Caution

User’s manual

Position the power supply-transmitter unit • according to the following rules:

- In a well-ventilated area protected against atmospheric agents and direct sunlight.

- Preferably inside your home, a garage or shed.

- If positioned outdoors, make sure it is protected in a well-ventilated box away from direct sunlight and water. Do not position in direct contact with the ground or in humid environments.

- Position it on the outside of the lawn and not inside.

- Position it at least 200 cm (78.74 in.) from the charging station.

- Stretch out the excess cord going from the charging station to the power supplytransmitter unit. Do not shorten or lengthen the cord.

The incoming section of the wire must be • straight and aligned perpendicularly to the charging station by at least 200 cm (78.74 in.) and the outgoing section must move away from the charging station as shown in the ﬁ gure; this allows the correct re-entry of the robot.
