Robolinho® Quick Homing Kit | AL-KO Robotic Lawnmower

Quick Homing Kit for the Robolinho® robotic lawnmower

For quick return to the base station


When Robolinho® encounters the boundary wire in front of the Quick Homing Kit on its way home, it will turn straight to the base station.


Your advantages:


| The Robolinho® returns to the base station faster
| You save energy
| Lane marks in the lawn are reduced

This is how it works:


The Quick Homing Kit is installed in connection with the boundary wire by use of the included connectors. When installed Robolinho® will, when passing the Quick Homing Kit, leave the boundary wire by turning to the right and navigate towards the base station in the set angle.

Choose the position of the Quick Homing Kit so that Robolinho® has a direct and short way back to the base station. The Quick Homing Kit should ideally be located about halfway down the full length of the boundary wire.

Installation instructions:


  1. Switch off the power supply to the base station
  2. Cut the boundary wire where it is straight about 1 m in front and 1 m behind the location of the Quick Homing Kit
  3. Install the Quick Homing Kit max. 2 cm under the lawn surface and connect it to the boundary wire using the included connectors
  4. Fix the boundary wire with the supplied ground nails
  5. Lay a cable loop as a reserve approx. 1 m in front of and behind the Quick Homing Kit
  6. Plug in the power supply to restart the loop signal
  7. Place Robolinho® on the boundary wire approx. 1 m in front of the built-in Quick Homing Kit
  8. Start Robolinho® by selecting "Settings > Quick Homing > Start Calibration" in the menu
  9. Robolinho® starts the calibration, recognizes the Quick Homing Kit position and checks it repeatedly by driving over it
  10. Set the desired angle in which Robolinho® is to leave the boundary wire on the display. All 5° steps between 45° and 135° are possible

Troubleshooting:


Error
Solution

After turning, Robolinho® does not navigate to the intended point at the opposite side of the lawn.

If necessary, correct the angle.
If necessary, shorten the distance.
Check that the boundary wire is straight about 1 meter before and after the Quick Homing Kit.

The Robolinho® passes the Quick Homing Kit during the calibration.

Repeat installation.
The Quick Homing Kit is installed too deep.
The boundary wire must be laid straight.
Install the Quick Homing Kit at right angles to the boundary wire and press it into the ground exactly vertically.

The calibration process does not start.

The loop signal has not restarted.
Switch off the power supply and switch it back on again.
The base station has no mains voltage and therefore there is no loop signal.
The boundary wire has no contact at the connectors.

There is an obstacle on the lawn.

Remove obstacle.
Install the Quick Homing Kit in a different position or select a different angle.

The boundary wire in the Quick Homing Kit is loose.

Install Quick Homing Kit again.

The Quick Homing Kit was installed in a corridor - Robolinho® cannot rotate.

Install the Quick Homing Kit in a different position.

An obstacle prevents Robolinho® from rotating freely.

Remove obstacle.
