not be shortened or extended. Low voltage cables with 3 m / 10 ft. or 20 m / 66 ft. length are available as optional accessories. The charging station should not be placed on an island as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal way. However, if the charging station has to be installed on an island, the guide wire also has to be connected to the island. Read more about islands in the Boundaries within the working area on page 16. It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working area. The low voltage cable must be stapled down or buried, and the cutting height should be such that the blades on the blade disc can never come in contact with the low voltage cable. Make sure the low voltage cable is laid along the ground and secured with pegs. The cable must lie close to the ground so as not to be cut before the grass roots have grown over it. 3.3.2 Connecting the power supply Take the following into consideration when planning where to place the power supply: • Close to the charging station • Protection from rain • Protection from direct sunlight WARNING: The robotic lawnmower is only to be used with a power supply unit supplied by Husqvarna. The low voltage cable must never be stored in a coil or under the charging station s base plate as this can interfere with the signals from the charging station. The power supply must be placed where it is well ventilated and must be placed under a roof. If the power supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this must be approved for outdoor use. It is recommended to use an earth fault-breaker (RCD) when connecting the power supply to the wall socket. WARNING: Applicable to USA/Canada. If the power supply is installed outdoors: Risk of Electric Shock. Install only to a covered Class A GFCI receptacle (RCD) that has an enclosure that is weatherproof with the attachment plug cap inserted or removed. If the power supply cannot be plugged directly into a wall socket, do not under any circumstances mount the power supply at a height where there is a risk it can be submerged in water (at least 30 cm / 12 in. from the ground). It is not permitted to place the power supply on the ground. No parts of the power supply must be changed or tampered with. For example, the low voltage cable must 362 - 002 - 06.02.2018 Installation - 13

3.3.2 Connecting the power supply
Take the following into consideration when planning
where to place the power supply:
Close to the charging station
Protection from rain
Protection from direct sunlight
WARNING:
The robotic lawnmower is only to be
used with a power supply unit supplied by
Husqvarna.
The power supply must be placed where it is well
ventilated and must be placed under a roof. If the power
supply is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this
must be approved for outdoor use. It is recommended to
use an earth fault-breaker (RCD) when connecting the
power supply to the wall socket.
WARNING: Applicable to USA/Canada.
If the
power supply is installed outdoors: Risk of
Electric Shock. Install only to a covered Class A
GFCI receptacle (RCD) that has an enclosure
that is weatherproof with the attachment plug
cap inserted or removed.
No parts of the power supply must be changed or
tampered with. For example, the low voltage cable must
not be shortened or extended. Low voltage cables with 3
m / 10 ft. or 20 m / 66 ft. length are available as optional
accessories.
