Frequently Asked Questions - FREELEXO 500 BT EINHELL

How to install the boundary wire?
Lay the wire flat on the ground or bury it up to 5 cm deep. Fix it with the provided hooks (max. 1 m spacing). Form a closed loop around the mowing area. For islands (trees, flower beds), the wire must be laid double and parallel. Reserve 1 m of extra wire at the ends for adjustments.
How to set or change the PIN code?
The default PIN code is 1-2-3-4. To change it, unlock the control panel, press 4 and OK simultaneously until the LEDs flash, enter a new 4-digit code, confirm with OK, then re-enter the code. Note the new PIN. If forgotten, use a USB stick to generate a PUK code and contact customer service.
What to do if the mower does not return to the charging station?
Check that the green LED on the station is on. Ensure the boundary wire is correctly connected to terminals + and S1. Remove obstacles on the wire and make sure no loops cross. If the problem persists, reposition the station on a flat surface and clear a straight passage at least 2 m in front.
How to replace the cutting blades?
Turn off the mower (main switch OFF) and wear gloves. Loosen the screws on the cutter disc, remove the three worn blades and replace them with new ones. Tighten the screws firmly. Use only original blades (ref. 34.140.20). Always replace all three blades at the same time to ensure balance.
How does the rain sensor work?
The built-in rain sensor detects moisture. When it rains, the mower automatically returns to the charging station and waits until the sensor is dry, then remains for another 2 hours before resuming mowing. You can enable/disable this function via the Einhell app.
What is the maximum recommended area?
For efficient mowing, the recommended area is approximately 500 m² with a daily working time of 8 hours. Adjust the mowing time via the control panel or app depending on garden complexity (presence of obstacles, slopes).
How to charge the battery?
The mower recharges automatically by returning to the charging station. You can also charge the battery separately with the supplied charger. The station LED is red during charging and green when the battery is full. Respect an ambient temperature between 5 °C and 40 °C. Do not charge in humid conditions.
What does a constant red alarm LED mean?
A constant red alarm LED indicates an error. For example, 'mower lifted' (lift sensor activated >10 s) or 'mower stuck' (obstacle detected 10 times per minute). Press OK to acknowledge the error, then restart via the control panel. If the error persists, check obstacles or wire layout.
How to adjust the cutting height?
Stop the mower with the STOP button. Turn the cutting height adjustment knob (4) to set the height continuously from 20 to 60 mm. Always start at a high height, then gradually reduce until desired result. Never mow grass taller than 60 mm without pre-mowing.
Can I use the mower without the boundary wire?
No, the boundary wire is essential to define the mowing area and guide the mower to the charging station. Without the wire, the mower cannot operate correctly. The wire must form a closed loop connected to the charging station (terminals + and S1).

5. Starting up

Read the operating instructions fully before you start work on the installation of the robot lawn mower. The quality of the installation work affects how effectively the robot lawn mower works later on.

5.1 How it works

The robot lawn mower chooses its direction on a random basis. The robot lawn mower works its way over every area which is enclosed within the perimeter wire (18), so that the entire garden gets mowed. Whenever the robot lawn mower detects a correctly installed perimeter wire (18), the robot lawn mower turns about and drives in a different direction within the area. All zones that you wish to protect within the lawn area – e.g. garden ponds, trees, furniture or flower beds – must be cordoned off by the perimeter wire (18). The perimeter wire (18) must form a closed circuit. If the robot lawn mower bumps into an obstacle within the mowing area, it reverses and then continues mowing in a different direction (Fig. 3).

5.2 Sensors

The robot lawn mower is equipped with a number of safety sensors.

Lifting sensor:

If the robot lawn mower is lifted by more than 30^ from the ground at the back, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades (10) are stopped immediately.

- Tilting sensor:

If the robot lawn mower tilts severely in any direction, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades (10) are stopped immediately.

- Obstruction sensor:

The robot lawn mower is able to detect obstacles in its path. If the robot lawn mower collides with an obstacle, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades will be stopped immediately and the mower will reverse away from the obstacle.

- Rain sensor:

The robot lawn mower is equipped with a rain sensor (5) to prevent the robot lawn mower from operating in the rain. The robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) when it detects rain and is completely recharged there. Once the rain sensor (5) is dry again, the robot lawn mower will stay in the charging station (19) for another two hours.

Do not short-circuit the two metal sensors

with metal or any other conductive material. This will impede the correct operation of the robot lawn mower.

5.3 Preparations

First, draw a sketch of your lawn. Include obstacles in your sketch and draw up a plan for how you intend to protect them. This will make it easier to find a good position for the charging station (19) and to lay the perimeter wire (18) around bushes, flower beds, etc (Fig. 4)... If the grass is taller than 60~mm it has to be shortened first to avoid exposing the robot lawn mower to excessive load and adversely affecting its operating efficiency. Use a conventional lawn mower or trimmer to do this. Remove all loose objects from the lawn which could get damaged by the robot lawn mower or damage the robot lawn mower itself. Have the following tools ready: A hammer, tongs, a wire stripper and a spirit level (optional).

Fitting the battery

Open the battery compartment cover (9) by pulling the snap fastener. Press the of the pushlock button of the rechargeable battery (22) and push the rechargeable battery (22) into the mount provided. Close the battery compartment cover (9) and make sure that it latches in place correctly (Fig. 10).

5.4 Charging station

5.4.1 Position of the charging station

Determine the best position for the charging station first (19). An outdoor socket outlet is required which supplies a permanent supply of electricity so that the robot lawn mower works at all times. The charging station (19) must be placed on a flat area at the level of the turf. Make sure that the area is flat and dry. Select a position which is in the shade, because it is best if the rechargeable battery (22) is charged up in a cool area (Fig. 5a). Also note that the perimeter wire has to be laid in a straight line for least 2m in front of the charging station (19). Curves immediately in front of the charging station (19) could cause problems when docking for charging.

5.4.2 Localization of the charging station

When the rechargeable battery (22) is almost empty, the robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) by following the perimeter wire (18) in a counterclockwise direction until it reaches the charging station (19). Make sure, therefore, that the charging station (19) faces in the right direction when you position it (Fig. 5b).

GB

5.4.3 Connecting the charging station to the power supply unit

  1. Before you connect the charging station (19) to the power supply, check that the mains power supply is 100 - 240V at 50 / 60Hz .
  2. Connect the power supply unit (13) directly to a socket outlet. Do not use the cable for any other use.
  3. Do not use the power supply unit if it is damaged (13). In the event of any damage to cables or the power supply unit (13), contact an authorized professional immediately for replacement.
  4. Do not charge up the robot lawn mower in a damp location. Do not charge up the robot lawn mower at temperatures above 40^ or below 5^ .
  5. Keep the robot lawn mower and the power supply unit (13) away from water, sources of heat and chemicals. Keep the cable of the power supply unit (13) away from sharp edges in order to prevent damage.
  6. Connect the power supply unit (13) to the charging station (19) (Fig. 5c).

To charge up the rechargeable battery (22) for the robot lawn mower straight away while you are still doing the installation work, first switch on the robot lawn mower with the main switch (7) and place the robot lawn mower in the charging station (19).

5.4.4 Information about charging

The robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) in each of the following situations:

  • You send the robot lawn mower back manually.
    The battery charge level drops below 30% .
    The end of the daily work time has been reached.
    The rain sensor has tripped.
    The robot lawn mower has become overheated.

In these cases the robot lawn mower automatically runs along the perimeter wire (18) until it reaches the charging station (19).

When the robot lawn mower wants to return to the charging station (19), it will first look for the perimeter wire (18) and then move along the perimeter wire (18) in counter-clockwise direction.

The LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) lights up red while charging of the rechargeable battery (22) is in progress.

When the LED indicator (21) on the charging

station (19) turns to green, this indicates that the rechargeable battery (22) is fully charged. Once it has been fully charged, the robot lawn mower resumes operation or remains in the charging station until the next work time window (19).

If there is an obstacle on the perimeter wire (18) during the trip back to the charging station (19), the robot lawn mower will come to a stop in front of the obstacle after several attempts and will not be able to get back to the charging station (19). Remove all obstacles on the perimeter wire (18). If the temperature of the rechargeable battery (22) exceeds 45^ , charging will stop in order to prevent damage to the rechargeable battery. Charging resumes automatically once the temperature has dropped again.

If the temperature of the controller of the robot lawn mower exceeds 75^ , the robot lawn mower will return to the charging station (19). Operation resumes in accordance with the settings once the temperature has dropped again.

If the rechargeable battery (22) becomes empty before the robot lawn mower has returned to the charging station (19), it will not be possible for the robot lawn mower to start up again. Bring the robot lawn mower back to the charging station (19) and leave the main switch (7) switched on. The robot lawn mower will be charged up automatically.

5.5 Perimeter wire

IMPORTANT! Severed perimeter wires and consequential damages are not covered by the warranty!

5.5.1 Laying the perimeter wire

The perimeter wire (18) can be laid both on the ground and in the ground. The fastening pegs (14) can break when hammered in if the ground is hard or dry. Water the lawn before installing the perimeter wire if the ground is very dry.

Installation on the ground

Lay the perimeter wire (18) securely on the ground and fasten it with the supplied fastening pegs (14) if you do not intend to scarify or aerate the lawn any time later. You can still adjust the position of the perimeter wire again during the first few weeks of using the robot lawn mower. After a certain time, however, the perimeter wire will become overgrown with grass and no longer visible. Install the perimeter wire with a maximum distance of 1m between fastening pegs (14). Reduce the distance between the fastening pegs on uneven areas of the lawn. Avoid situations in

GB

which the wire is not actually on the ground.
Make sure that the perimeter wire cannot be severed by the robot lawn mower.

Installation in the ground

Bury the perimeter wire in the ground at a depth of up to 5cm . This will prevent the perimeter wire (18) getting damaged during scarring or aeration, for example.

Important!

Keep a reserve of 1m of wire at the rear end of the charging station so that you can make corrections at a later time.

5.5.2 Narrow points

If the lawn has a narrow point, your robot lawn mower will be able to operate there as long as the corridor has a width of at least 1.4m (80 cm between the perimeter wires) and a maximum length of 8 m (Fig. 3)..

5.5.3 Distance to the garden perimeter

When the robot lawn mower approaches a perimeter wire (18), the perimeter wire is detected by the sensors in the front of the robot lawn mower. Before the robot lawn mower turns about, however, it runs over the perimeter wire (18) by up to 30~cm . Please bear this in mind when planning your mowing area (Fig. 6a).

5.5.4 Laying the wire in corners

Avoid laying the perimeter wire (18) at a right-angle (90^) in corners. To make sure that the robot lawn mower does not run too far beyond the perimeter wire (18), lay the perimeter wire (18) as shown in Fig. 6b.

5.5.5 Calculating the gradient of the lawn

The robot lawn mower can cope with gradients of up to 35% . You therefore need to avoid steeper gradients. The gradient can be determined on the basis of the height divided by the distance (Fig. 6c).

Example: a / b = 35 cm/100 cm = 35%

5.5.6 Installation of the perimeter wire on gradients

The robot lawn mower can slip on gradients, especially if the grass is wet, and run over the perimeter wire (18) as a result. It is therefore recommendable to pay attention to the following points (Fig. 6d):

In the area at the top of a slope, the perimeter wire (18) should not be installed on gradients

over 35% . Make sure that a distance of 30~cm from obstacles and the edges of the lawn is maintained.

  • In the area at the bottom of a slope, the perimeter wire (18) should not be installed on gradients over 17% . Make sure that a distance of 40~cm from obstacles and the edges of the lawn is maintained.

5.5.7 Driveways and paved paths

Cordon off raised pathways, areas surfaced with gravel or containing bark mulch, lower lying beds or other similar areas. Lay the perimeter wire (18) at a distance of at least 30~cm away (Fig. 6e and 6g).
- Paths which are flush with the turf do not need to be cordoned off, because the robot lawn mower can simply run over them. You can also lay the perimeter wire (18) over paths (Fig. 6f and 6g).

5.5.8 Perimeter islands

To protect obstacles in the mowing area, create perimeter islands. This will enable collisions with delicate objects, garden ponds, trees, furniture, flower beds, etc., to be avoided (Fig. 6h and 6i).

  • Roll out the perimeter wire (18) from the edges to the objects you want to protect.
  • Secure the perimeter wire (18) with fastening pegs (14) in a clockwise direction around the object you want to protect.
  • Completely enclose the perimeter islands and then run the perimeter wire (18) back to the point at which you left the edge of the lawn.
  • Perimeter islands need to be at least 0.8m apart. Alternatively, combine the objects to make them into a joint perimeter island (Fig. 6h).
  • The perimeter wires (18) to and from the perimeter island should be laid parallel and very close to one another. - Caution! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over! - You should therefore fasten both the parallel perimeter wires (18) to the ground together using the same fastening peg (14) (Fig. 6i).
  • The robot lawn mower will run over the two parallel perimeter wires (18) in the mowing area, but the robot lawn mower will stop where single perimeter wires (18) are laid.

GB

5.5.9 Obstacles

  • Obstacles with a height over 10cm (Fig. 6j)

Solid obstacles which are over 10cm in height, e.g. trees, walls, fences, garden furniture, etc., are detected by the collision sensors. If the robot lawn mower collides with an obstacle, it will stop, switch off the mower unit, reverse and turn so that it can continue mowing in the other direction. Soft, unstable and valuable obstacles need to be protected by a perimeter wire island.

  • Stones and low obstacles

Stones, rocks and low obstacles of less than 10cm in the mowing area need to be protected, because otherwise the robot lawn mower could run over them. If not, this could result in the robot lawn mower getting damaged or blocked.

Trees (Fig. 6k)

The robot lawn mower treats trees as obstacles. However, where any tree roots project above the ground to a height of less than 10 cm, the area in which they are located needs to be protected. This will prevent damage to the roots and to the robot lawn mower. Make sure that the minimum distance between the perimeter wire (18) and the obstacle is 30 cm.

5.6 Connecting the charging station

Finish laying the complete perimeter wire (18) before you connect it to the charging station.

Keep an extra length of 1m of perimeter wire (18) at each end so that you can make further adjustments at a later time.

Using a wire stripper, remove a length of 10 to 15 mm of the insulation at the ends of the perimeter wire (18) for connecting to the charging station (19).

Pull out the power plug before you connect the perimeter wire (18) to the charging station (19).

The perimeter wire (18) laid to the front end of the charging station (19) must be run to the back via the cable holders on the underside of the charging station (19). Pass the front perimeter wire (18) through the guides under the charging station and through the hole prepared in the connection area. Connect this wire to the "+" connection. Then connect the rear perimeter wire (18) to the "S1" connection (Fig. 7a).

Important! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over!

Then connect the power supply. The LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) should light up green and stay on permanently. If the LED does not light up, check the connections first. If the LED lights up green but not permanently, read the "Indicators on the charging station and troubleshooting" table at the end of these operating instructions.

5.7 Switching on and checking the installation

As soon as the LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is ready for the robot lawn mower. Please check first that all the fastening pegs (14) on the perimeter wire (18) have been fully tapped in. Place the robot lawn mower about 3m to the rear of the charging station (19) in front of the perimeter wire (18). The robot lawn mower needs to be facing the perimeter wire (18) at an angle of 90^ (Fig. 7b).

Switch on the main switch (7) (ON) (Fig. 8).

Press the POWER button (60) on the control panel (2) for two seconds. Unlock the robot lawn mower using the PIN and confirm the entry with the "OK" button (61) (see chapter "Locking mechanism / PIN").

Press the "HOME / 3" button (64) and then press the "OK" button again (61). The robot lawn mower will now follow the perimeter wire (18) in a counterclockwise direction. Observe the robot lawn mower during the complete trip along the perimeter wire (18) until it is back in the charging station (19). If the robot lawn mower has any problems at any points, correct the perimeter wire (18) if necessary and repeat the operation. The rechargeable battery (22) of the robot lawn mower will now be fully charged. If any problems occur with docking, you may need to reposition the charging station (19) sideways until docking works without any problems.

To stop the robot lawn mower at any time, press the red STOP button (3). When you press the STOP button (3), the robot lawn mower will come to a stop and wait for further instructions.

5.8 Securing the charging station

Once the robot lawn mower is working properly and a suitable position for the charging station (19) has been found, the charging station (19) must be fixed in place using the fastening screws (15). Use the hexagon key (24) to secure the fastening screws (15) fully in the ground (Fig. 7c).

GB

5.9 Battery capacity indicator

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator. The battery capacity indicator shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs (Fig. 13b).

All 3 LEDs are lit:

The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED flashes:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Important!

When using a multi-Ah pack (e.g. 4-6Ah), always set the higher capacity. Thanks to the gentle charging and discharging of the robot lawn mower there is no need to use the lower capacity in order to extend the working life.

5.10 Charging the rechargeable battery with the charger

  1. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (23) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
  2. Insert the rechargeable battery (22) into the battery charger (23) (Fig. 13a).
  3. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The rechargeable battery can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

the charger
and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fires.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6. Operation

6.1 Main switch

EINHELL FREELEXO 500 BT - Control of the robot lawn mower using the app - 1

Android: http://qr.einhell.com/176c0443

EINHELL FREELEXO 500 BT - Control of the robot lawn mower using the app - 2

Use a Bluetooth connection to connect the robot lawn mower with your smart phone and follow the steps shown there. You can also use the app to use the following additional functions of the robot lawn mower:

- Mowing time settings:

The app gives you additional options for mowing time settings, e.g. a daily individual mowing time setting.

- Rain sensor

The rain sensor (5) can be switched on and off in the app. The default factory setting for the sensor is "On".

Multi-starting point

Where gardens have lots of angles, the robot lawn mower may have problems reaching

every part of the lawn and mowing it completely. In this case you can select several starting points on the perimeter wire (18). This will enable the robot lawn mower to get to even those parts of your garden that are difficult to reach. The robot lawn mower will run the selected distance along the perimeter wire (18) and then start mowing in this part of the garden (Fig. 9c). The charging station (19) is automatically defined as starting point 1. The two other starting points can be selected as you wish. For this you must measure the distance between the charging station (19) and the starting point in clockwise direction along the perimeter wire (18). With the frequency setting you decide how often the robot lawn mower starts its work from the charging station (19) or from the respective starting points.

- Mowing edges

For a tidy lawn edge, the "Edge mowing" setting can be activated in the app. The robot lawn mower starts its mowing work every 7 work days by first mowing once along the entire perimeter wire (18). In addition, the robot lawn mower mows on the way to the charging station at the end of the daily mowing interval, if the charge level of the rechargeable battery is over 70% .

  8. To make a claim under the guarantee, please register the defective device at: www.Einhell-Service.com. Please keep your bill of purchase or other proof of purchase for the new device. Devices that are returned without proof of purchase or without a rating plate shall not be covered by the guarantee, because appropriate identification will not be possible. If the defect is covered by our guarantee, then the item in question will either be repaired immediately and returned to you or we will send you a new replacement.

Of course, we are also happy offer a chargeable repair service for any defects which are not covered by the scope of this guarantee or for units which are no longer covered. To take advantage of this service, please send the device to our service address.

Also refer to the restrictions of this warranty concerning wear parts, consumables and missing parts as set out in the service information in these operating instructions.
