2.8 Integrated battery
The battery is installed permanently in the appliance and may not be changed by the user.
NOTE
Fully charge the rechargeable battery before using it for the first time. The rechargeable battery can be charged in any charge status. Interrupting charging does not damage the rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery can only be charged after the appliance has been switched on.
The integrated battery is partially charged on delivery. The battery is regularly recharged during normal operation. The appliance returns to its base station for this.
The integrated electronic control unit with a monitoring function terminates the charging procedure when a 100% charge status is reached.
The charging process only functions with perfect contact of the charging contacts on the base station with the contact surfaces of the appliance.
The built-in protection circuit prevents the battery from being charged at temperatures above 45 °C. This prevents irreparable damage to the battery.
If the operating time of the battery is reduced in spite of it being fully charged, have the battery replaced by a new genuine battery. This task should be carried out by an AL-KO dealer, technician or service partner.
If the battery charge level has dropped below the threshold set by the manufacturer as a result of ageing or excessively long storage, this means it can no longer be recharged. Have the battery and the monitoring electronic control unit checked by an AL-KO dealer, technician or service partner, and replace them if necessary.
The battery status is shown on the display. Check the battery status after about 3 months in storage. To do so, switch on the appliance and read off the battery status. If the rechargeable battery is now only charged to approx. 30% or less, place the appliance in the base station and switch it on so the rechargeable battery is charged. If the charging station was removed to store the base station (see chapter 11.2 "Storing the base station", page 65), first mount it again in reverse order and connect the base station to the mains supply again.
If electrolyte has escaped into the appliance: Have the appliance repaired by an AL-KO service centre.
If the rechargeable battery has been removed from the appliance: If the eyes or hands have come into contact with escaped electrolyte, flush them immediately with water. Immediately consult a doctor.
2.9 Functional description
Moving on the grass surface
The automatic lawn mower moves freely in a mowing area delimited by a boundary cable. The appliance is oriented by sensors that detect the magnetic field of the boundary cable.
If the appliance encounters an obstacle, it stops and then continues in another direction. If the appliance detects moisture, it automatically returns to the base station. If the appliance gets into a situation where it cannot operate, this is indicated by a message on the display.
Mowing and charging
The mowing phases alternate constantly with the charging phases. If the charge of the rechargeable battery drops to a specific value (display: 0 %) during mowing, the appliance returns to the base station along the boundary cable.
Pre-set mowing programs are available for mowing, and also include the lawn and edge mowing function. These mowing programs can be changed.
2.10 Integration in innogy SmartHome
The robot lawn mower can be integrated in an in-nogy SmartHome environment and linked with other appliances. This enables the convenient control, setting and monitoring of the robot lawn mower via app from a mobile appliance.
For this, the robot lawn mower must be connected with an innogy SmartHome gateway via Lemonbeat and the AL-KO inTOUCH app or the innogy SmartHome app must be installed on a mobile appliance.
NOTE
The mobile appliance being used requires a radio connection in order to use innogy SmartHome.
If the radio connection of the mobile appliance is interrupted, no signals can be transmitted to the robot lawn mower.
2.10.1 AL-KO inTOUCH app
The AL-KO inTOUCH app is available for Android-based and iOS-based appliances:
After installing the app, the user must first log in.
NOTE
Registration is not absolutely necessary, but offers some additional functions.
The Quick Installation Guide is automatically called up the first time the app is started. Then, the robot lawn mower can be integrated in the SmartHome environment in the “Appliances” menu.
NOTE
An innogy account is required for integration.
NOTE
The robot lawn mower must be ready to receive in order to be integrated (see chapter 7.8 "inTOUCH", page 61).
Besides remote access to integrated robot lawn mowers or other linked appliances, the AL-KO in-TOUCH app offers other features such as product registration, gardening tips, gardening manual or push notifications in the event of a fault.
2.10.2 innogy SmartHome app
The innogy SmartHome app is available for Android-based and iOS-based appliances as well as browser-based web applications.
Further information on the innogy SmartHome app is available at https://home.innogy-smarthome.de as well as in the documentation of the app.

■ Have any defective safety and protective devices repaired.
■ Never disable safety and protective devices.
3.3.1 PIN and PUK input
The appliance can only be started by entering a PIN (Personal Identification Number). This prevents the appliance from being switched on by unauthorised persons. The PIN can be changed.
If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PUK (Personal Un-blocking Key) must be entered. If this is also entered incorrectly, the user must wait 24 hours until entering it again.
The PIN and PUK input also serves as an anti-theft device:
- Keep the PIN and PUK so that they are inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
3.3.2 Sensors
The appliance is provided with several safety sensors. It does not restart automatically after being switched off by a safety sensor. The error message is shown on the display and must be acknowledged. The reason for the triggering of the sensor must be resolved.
Lifting sensor
If the appliance is raised by the housing during operation, the travel drive switches off and the cutting blades are stopped.
Bump sensors for obstacle detection
The appliance is equipped with sensors that ensure it changes its direction of travel if it encounters obstacles. When it encounters an obstacle, the top part of the deck is shifted slightly and the shock sensor triggered.
Tilt sensor in direction of travel/sideways
If an upward or downward slope or a laterally inclined angle of 22^ (40 %) is reached in the direction of travel, the appliance is turned or the appliance changes its direction of travel.
Rain sensor
The appliance is equipped with a rain sensor that (when activated) interrupts the mowing procedure in case of rain, and ensures that the appliance returns to the base station.
NOTE
The appliance can be operated reliably in the immediate vicinity of other automatic lawn mowers. The signal used in the boundary cable corresponds to the standard defined by the European Garden Machinery Industry Federation (EGMF) with regard to electromagnetic emissions.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Unpacking the machine
- Open the packaging carefully.
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging and check for transport damage. Note: If there is any transport damage, immediately notify your AL-KO dealer, technician or service partner in accordance with the warranty conditions.
- Check the scope of supply, see chapter 2.1 "Scope of supply", page 45.
If the appliance is going to be sent on, retain the original packaging and accompanying documents. They will also be required for return shipment.
4.2 Planning the mowing areas (01)
Location of the base station (01/1)
■ Shortest possible distance to the largest mowing area
Level surface
■ Protected against direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions
■ Connection option for power source
It must be possible to adhere to the distances:
■ Freely accessible to the automatic lawn mower
At least 1 m free on the left and right of the base station
A clearance of at least 35 cm to the rear from the boundary cable to the wall
Routing the boundary cable (01)
The boundary cable must be laid in a continuous loop in a clockwise direction.
Corridors between mowing areas (01/i)
A corridor is a narrow section in the grass surface and can be used to connect two mowing areas.
Main area and secondary area(s) (01)
■ Main area (01/HF): This is the grass surface on which the base station is located and whose entire surface can be mowed automatically by the appliance.
Secondary area (01/NF): If a grass surface cannot be reached by the appliance from the main area, carry the appliance to the secondary area by hand if necessary. Secondary areas can be processed using manual operation.
The main area and secondary areas are bounded by the same continuous boundary cable, however.
Location of start points (01/X0 - 01/X3)
At the specified mowing time, the appliance moves along the boundary cable to the specified start point and begins to mow there.
The start points can be used to specify which areas of the mowing area are to be mowed several times.
4.3 Preparing the mowing areas
- Check that the grass surface is larger than the area covered by the appliance. If the grass surface is too large, an irregularly mown lawn will result. Reduce the size of the grass surface to be mowed if necessary.
- Before installation of the base station and boundary cable or start-up of the appliance: Use a lawn mower to mow the grass surface to a low cutting height.
- Remove any obstacles on the grass surface or exclude them with the boundary cable (see chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles", page 56):
- Flat obstacles that will be run over and could damage the cutting blade (e.g. flat stones, transitions from the grass surface to the terrace or paths, plates, kerbstones, etc.)
■ Holes and protrusions in the grass surface (e.g. molehills, burrowing holes, pine cones, fallen fruit, etc.)
■ Steep ascents and descents of more than 40 % (22°)
■ Bodies of water (e.g. ponds, streams, swimming pools, etc.) and their demarcation to the grass surface
■ Shrubs and hedges that can become broader
NOTE
Exclusions are only necessary if they cannot be detected by the bump sensors of the automatic lawn mower. Avoid too many or unnecessary exclusions.
4.4 Setting up the base station (03/a)
- Screw the base plate (03/1) onto the base station (03/2).
- Attach the extension plate (03/3) to the base plate (03/1).
- Place the base station (01/1) at right angles to the planned location of the boundary cable and align at ground level. Use a spirit level to check that the base station is level and adjust the position of the base station if necessary.
- Attach the base plate (03/1) and extension plate (03/3) with lawn pegs (03/4).
4.5 Installing the boundary cable
4.5.1 Connecting the boundary cable to the base station (04)
- Pull the end of the boundary cable (04/1) out of the packaging.
- Strip approx. 10 mm from the cable end.
- Insert the stripped cable end (04/3) in the spring force terminal (04/4) on the connector (04/6) of the base station (04/2).
- Push in the spring force terminal (04/4) with the cable end into the base plate of the base station.
- Put the cover cap (04/5) onto the spring force terminal (04/6).
4.5.2 Routing the boundary cable (01)
The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn and as much as 10 cm under the turf. Laying under the turf can be carried out by the dealer. Both variants can be combined with one another.
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damaging the boundary cable
If the boundary cable is damaged or cut, the transmission of the control signals to the appliance is no longer possible. In this case, the boundary cable must be repaired or replaced. The boundary cables are available from AL-KO.
■ Always route the boundary cable directly on the ground. If necessary, secure with an additional lawn peg.
■ When laying the boundary cable and during operation, protect the boundary cable from damage.
■ Do not dig or scarify in the vicinity of the boundary cable.
- Lead the boundary cable at least 1 m straight from the base station (01/a).
- Attach the boundary cable at regular intervals with lawn pegs or route it underground (at a max. depth of 10 cm).
- Route the boundary cable around obstacles: see chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles", page 56.
-
Create corridors between individual mowing areas: see chapter 4.5.4 "Enclosing corridors (01/i)", page 56.
-
Exclude excessive upward or downward slopes: see chapter 4.5.5 "Excluding downward slopes", page 56.
- Create loops of cable: see chapter 4.5.6 "Creating loops of cable (08)", page 56.
- From a distance of at least 1 m, guide the boundary cable straight to the base station (01/k).
- After completing the routing of the boundary cable, connect to the connector (04/7) of the base station: see chapter 4.5.1 "Connecting the boundary cable to the base station (04)", page 55.
4.5.3 Excluding obstacles
Depending on the surroundings of the working area, the boundary cable must be routed at different distances to obstacles. Use the ruler that can be removed from the packaging to determine the correct distance.
NOTE
Exclusions are only necessary if they cannot be detected by the bump sensors of the automatic lawn mower. Avoid too many or unnecessary exclusions.
Distance from walls, fences, beds: min. 15 cm (01)
The appliance moves along the boundary cable with an offset of 15 cm to the outside. Therefore, route the boundary cable at a distance of at least 15 cm from walls, fences, beds, etc.
Distance from terrace edges and paved paths (06)
If the terrace or path edge is higher than the grass surface, a distance of at least 15 cm must be complied with. If the edge of the terrace or path is at the same height as the grass surface, the cable can be routed exactly along the edge.
Distance of obstacles from the boundary cable (01)
If the boundary cables are precisely folded up away from the obstacle or towards the obstacle, i.e. distance 0 cm, the appliance moves beyond the boundary cable. The boundary cables must not be crossed over (01/g).
Routing the boundary cable around corners (07)
For inwards going corners (07/a): Route the boundary cable diagonally to avoid the appliance becoming caught in the corner.
For outwards going corners with obstacles (07/b): Route the boundary cable in a point in order to avoid a collision of the appliance with the corner.
For outwards going corners without obstacles: Route the boundary cable at an angle of 90^ .
4.5.4 Enclosing corridors (01/i)
In the corridor the following distances must be complied with:
■ Total width: min. 60 cm
■ Distance of the boundary cable to the edge: 15 cm
■ Distance between the boundary cables: min. 30 cm
4.5.5 Excluding downward slopes
Downward slopes that are greater than 40 % must be excluded with the boundary cable (40 % = 40 cm downward slopes per 1 m horizontally).
4.5.6 Creating loops of cable (08)
Spare loops of cable should be incorporated at regular intervals in order to reposition the base station or to extend the mowing area even after the mowing area has been laid out.
Select the number of spare cable loops according to your own judgement.
NOTE
In the case of spare cable loops, do not form open loops.
- Lead the boundary cable around the current lawn peg (08/1) and then back to the previous lawn peg (08/3).
- Then lead the boundary cable to the current lawn peg (08/1) again. This creates a loop. The cables must be close together.
- If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in the middle with an additional lawn peg (08/2).
4.5.7 Typical faults in cable routing (02)
