Enclosing Corridors (01/H); Excluding Downward Slopes; Creating Loops Of Cable (07); Typical Faults In Cable Routing (02) - Kärcher RLM 4 Betriebsanleitung

4.5.4

Enclosing corridors (01/h)

In the corridor the following distances must be
complied with:
■
Total width: min. 60 cm
■
Distance of the boundary cable to the edge:
15 cm
■
Distance between the boundary cables: min.
30 cm
4.5.5

Excluding downward slopes

Downward slopes that are greater than 45 %
must be excluded with the boundary cable (45 %
= 45 cm downward slopes per 1 m horizontally).
4.5.6

Creating loops of cable (07)

Spare loops of cable should be incorporated at
regular intervals in order to reposition the
charging station or to extend the mowing area
even after the mowing area has been laid out.
Select the number of spare cable loops according
to your own judgement.
NOTE
In the case of spare cable loops, do not
form open loops.
1. Lead the boundary cable around the current
lawn peg (07/1) and then back to the previ-
ous lawn peg (07/3).
2. Then lead the boundary cable to the current
lawn peg again. This creates a loop. The ca-
bles must be close together.
3. If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in
the middle with an additional lawn peg (07/2).
4.5.7

Typical faults in cable routing (02)

■
Spare cable loops of the boundary cable are
not laid in an even, elongated loop (02/a).
■
The boundary cable is not routed properly
around corners (02/b).
■
The boundary cable is crossed over or not
routed clockwise (02/c).
■
The boundary cable is routed too imprecisely
so that edge areas of the grass surface can-
not be mowed (02/d).
■
The boundary cable is not routed lying direct-
ly next to itself when guided towards and
back from the edge to an obstacle inside the
lawn (02/e).
■
The entry points are set too far away from the
charging station (02/f).
■
The boundary cable is routed beyond the
edge of the grass surface (02/g).
457462_a
■
When routing the boundary cable, the mini-
mum distance for corridors of 30 cm is under-
cut (02/h).
■
The boundary cable is routed too close (i.e.
at a distance of less than 15 cm) to obstacles
that cannot be driven over (02/i).
4.6 Connecting the charging station to the
power supply (04)
1. Place the power supply (04/4) in a dry loca-
tion that is protected against direct sunlight
and sufficiently close to the charging station
(04/1).
2. Connect the low voltage cable of the power
supply (04/5) and the cable of the charging
station (04/6) with each other.
3. Plug the power plug of the power supply
(04/2) into a power socket (04/3).
NOTE
We recommend connecting the power
supply to the mains supply via an earth
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a
rated leakage current < 30 mA.
4.7 Checking the connections on the
charging station (04)
1. Check that both LEDs on the front side of the
charging station (09/1) light. If not:
■
Disconnect the mains plug.
■
Check that all plug connectors of the
power source and the boundary cable
are positioned correctly and check for
damage.
Status indications of the LEDs
LEDs Operating states
■
Green Lights up when the boundary
cable is laid correctly and the
loop is intact.
■
Flashes if a loop of the bound-
ary cable is not in order.
■
Yellow Lights up if the power source is
intact.
■
Flashes if the appliance is in the
charging station and is being
charged.
