Friendly Robotics robomower RL1000 - Page 63

Problem Encountered Probable Cause/Event Corrective/User Action
- No power to receptacle or main
power is shut off
- Check for power to this main receptacle by
plugging in another appliance.
- Turn power on to the main receptacle.
- Disassemble the Charging Station Cover by
unscrewing the screws and check the
connection of the power cable (black) and the
wire connector (green).
- Confirm the ‘ON’ light is blinking in the
Charging Station when switching on the green
(ON) button.
- Charging Station and/or
RoboMower have burnt signs and/or
corrosion
- Periodically clean the Charging Station and the
RoboMower contacts using only a damp cloth.
- Contact your service provider if the contacts
should be replaced
RoboMower does not detect
the Charging Station contacts
and/or ‘Front wheel problem’
is displayed when the mower
is in the Charging Station
(Continued from previous
page.)
- Poor or disconnection of the
Charging Station wires (red and
green) to the contacts
- Confirm good contacts in the tabs (end of the
red and green wires) to the Charging Station
contacts.
RoboMower is operated in the
zone with the Charging Station
but stopped with ‘Recharge
battery’ or ‘time completed’
message
- The RoboMower was operated from
the lawn (not from the Charging
Station) when the main display
showed ‘Zone B’
- When operating the RoboMower from inside
the lawn, confirm the main display on ‘Dock
zone’
RoboMower is searching for
the Charging Station in zone
without Charging Station
- The RoboMower was operated from
the lawn in ‘Mowing’ (without ‘Edge’)
when the main display showed
‘Dock zone’
- When operating the RoboMower from in non-
Charging zone, confirm the main display on
‘Zone B’ or start the operation in ‘Edge’ mode.
- Wire disconnected from switch
- Confirm wire is plugged in and wire leads are
firmly attached
- Perimeter wire cut
- Walk along perimeter, including islands and
obstacles excluded with the perimeter wire and
look for obvious cuts or breaks in the wire.
Repair with RoboMower wire splice
connectors.
'Cut wire’ indicator flashing on
Perimeter Switch
- Poor connections
- Check and repair all loose/poor or corroded
connections
- Weak batteries - Install fresh alkaline C-cell batteries
- Poor wire splicing (confirm that
when the Perimeter Switch is turned
on, first the ‘Cut wire’ indicator is
flashing once).
- Twisted cables, or a screw terminal,
insulated with insulation tape is not
a satisfactory splice. Soil moisture
causes the conductors to oxidize
and after a while result in broken
circuit.
- Use the connectors supplied in the box. It is
waterproof and gives a reliable electrical
connection.
‘Replace Battery’ indicator
flashing on Perimeter Switch
- Perimeter wire too long for one
zone
- A maximum perimeter wire length of 1000 feet
(300 m) is recommended. Areas requiring
longer lengths should be broken into separate
zones. If the ‘Cut Wire’ indicator flashes once
when the Perimeter Switch is activated, this
confirms a length too long for a single
perimeter zone.
