Protect your Automower® robotic lawn mower during thunderstorms
To reduce the risk of damage to electrical components in your Automower® robotic lawn mower and its charging station, we recommend disconnecting all connections to the charging station (power supply, boundary wire and guide wires) if there is the risk of a thunderstorm.
General instructions
- Tilt the cover of the charging station.
- Disconnect the power supply connector.
- Mark the cables for easy reconnection. The charging station’s connections are labelled AR, AL and G1 (plus G2 and G3 for models supporting more than one guide wire).
- Disconnect all wires.
- Close the charging station cover to protect the connections from rain.
For Automower® NERA models
Watch this video and follow the steps described below to disconnect the wires and power supply on Automower® NERA models.
- Gently lift and tilt the top of the charging station.
- Open the hatch.
- Disconnect the power supply connector.
- Disconnect the loop wire connector.
- Close the hatch and tilt the top of the charging station back into position.
EPOS™ reference station
To minimise the risk of damage to the reference station’s electrical components, disconnect the power supply if there is the risk of a thunderstorm. If there is a lightning rod nearby, ensure that the reference station is not installed higher than the rod.
Reconnection steps after a storm
Once the storm has passed:
- Carefully reconnect all the wires at the charging station, ensuring that each wire is correctly connected at its designated position.
- Restore the power supply to the reference station.
