Frequently Asked Questions - Robolinho 520 W SOLO

How to start the Robolinho 520 W robotic lawnmower for the first time?

Make sure the perimeter wire and charging station are installed. Place the mower in the charging station, turn it on, enter the default PIN code 0000, set the language, date and time. Fully charge the battery, then perform an automatic calibration run by following the instructions in the manual.

How to adjust the cutting height on the Robolinho 520 W?

Open the top cover and turn the rotary knob: clockwise to increase height (up to 55 mm), counterclockwise to decrease (minimum 25 mm). The current height is displayed in the inspection window.

What to do if the mower cannot find the charging station?

Check that the perimeter wire is not damaged or poorly laid. Verify that the charging station is powered (yellow LED on). Clean the charging contacts on the mower and station. If the problem persists, perform a new calibration via the menu.

How to set the mowing schedules?

Go to the main menu, select 'Programs' then 'Weekly schedule'. You can enable or disable each day, set the time slots, the mowing type (normal, edge, passage) and the starting points. Confirm the changes.

The mower stops during mowing and displays an error code, what to do?

Consult chapter 10 of the manual to identify the error code. For example, CN001 corresponds to excessive tilt: place the mower on a flat surface. For CN007 (no loop signal), check the power supply and the condition of the wire. Acknowledge the error via the screen.

Can I use the app to control the mower?

Yes, the Robolinho 520 W is compatible with the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app. Connect the mower to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network, create an account in the app and follow the connection assistant. You can start, program and monitor mowing remotely.

How to replace the cutting blades?

Turn off the mower and wear gloves. Turn the device over, unscrew the fixing screws, remove the old blades. Mount the new blades with the sharp side towards the device, or turn existing blades 180° if they have not been turned. Tighten the screws by hand.

What to do if the battery no longer charges?

Make sure the charging contacts are clean and the mower is correctly positioned in the station. Check that the station's power supply is working. If the battery is too hot (>45°C), let it cool down. If the problem persists, the battery may be worn out, contact after-sales service.

How to store the mower in winter?

Fully charge the battery, clean the mower thoroughly. Remove the charging terminal from the station, store it in a dry, frost-free place. The perimeter wire can remain in place. Store the mower on its wheels in a lockable room.

What is the maximum area the mower can cover?

The maximum recommended mowing area is approximately 1500 m², depending on the complexity of the terrain and the wire configuration. If your garden is larger, reduce the mowing area or use secondary areas.

2.8 Rechargeable battery

The rechargeable battery can 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 rechargeable battery is partially charged on delivery. The rechargeable 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 rechargeable battery from being charged at temperatures above 45 °C. This prevents irreparable damage to the rechargeable battery.
If the operating time of the rechargeable battery becomes shorter despite being fully charged, replace the battery.
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 rechargeable battery status is shown on the display. Check the rechargeable battery status after about 3 months in storage. To do so, switch on the appliance and read off the rechargeable 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 12.2 "Dismantling and storing the charging pole (18, 19)", page 55), first mount it again in reverse order and connect the base station to the mains supply again.
If electrolyte has escaped into the battery compartment: 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 appliance moves freely in a mowing area delimited by a boundary cable. The appliance is oriented by means of the sensors that detect the electromagnetic field of the boundary cable.

If the appliance encounters an obstacle, it stops and then continues in another direction. If the appliance gets into a situation where it cannot operate, this is indicated by a message on the display.

If the appliance detects moisture when the rain sensor is switched on, it automatically returns to the base station.

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.

Mowing programs are preset and can be customised on the appliance or in the app.

Each time the mowing motor is started, its direction of rotation is changed which doubles the service life of the cutting blades.

2.10 WiFi radio module and AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app

The robot lawn mower is equipped with a WiFi radio module. This allows convenient control, setting and monitoring via app from a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.).

i NOTE The mobile device being used requires an Internet connection in order to use the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app.

NOTE In order to ensure that the latest software version is always installed on the robot lawn mower, it must be connected to the Internet via a WiFi network. The AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app notifies you when there are new software updates for the robot lawnmower. They are downloaded automatically.

AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app

The AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app can be downloaded for Android-based devices from the Google Play Store and for iOS-based devices from the Apple App Store:

If the WiFi signal from the router is too weak over the whole garden, its range can be extended with a commercially available repeater.

In the event of malfunctions, a dealer with the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app installed can help you. The robot lawnmower must be enabled for the dealer via the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Garden app.

In addition to remote access to connected robot lawn mowers, the AL-KO inTOUCH Smart Gar-

den app offers other functions such as links to other AL-KO appliances or push notifications in the event of a fault.

3 SAFETY

3.1 Intended use

This appliance is intended solely for use in non-commercial applications. Any other use as well as unauthorised conversions or modifications are regarded as contrary to the intended use and will result in voiding of the warranty as well as loss of conformity; the manufacturer will thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by the user or third parties.

The application limits of the appliance are: see technical data.

3.2 Possible misuse

This machine is not suitable for use in public gardens, parks, sports stadiums, and in agriculture and forestry.

3.3 Safety and protective devices

WARNING! Risk of injury. Defective and disabled safety and protective devices can result in serious injury.

■ 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 factory setting of the PIN is 0000. The PIN can be changed, see chapter 5.2 "Making the basic settings", page 44.

If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PUK (Personal Unlocking Key) must be entered. If this is also entered incorrectly, the user must wait 24 hours until entering it again.

- 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 that is larger than the value set for the model is reached in the direction of travel, the appliance is turned or the appliance changes its direction of travel.

Rain sensor

Depending on the model, 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 (see technical data).

4 ASSEMBLY

4.1 Unpacking the machine

1. Open the packaging carefully.

2. Carefully remove all components from the packaging and check for transport damage.
   Note: Notify your AL-KO dealer or service partner immediately if any transport damage is discovered.

3. Check the scope of supply, see chapter 2.1 "Scope of supply (01)", page 35.

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 (05)

Location of the base station (05/1)

■ Shortest possible distance to the largest mowing area
Level surface
■ Protected against direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions
■ Connection option for power source
■ Free accessibility to the robot lawn mower

Routing the boundary cable (05)

The boundary cable must be laid in a continuous loop in a clockwise direction.

Corridors between mowing areas (05/h)

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) (05)

■ Main area (05/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 (05/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 (05/X0 - 05/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

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. Remove any obstacles on the grass surface or exclude them with the boundary cable (see chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles", page 43):

4. 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 upward or downward slopes that are larger than the values specified in the technical data
   ■ Bodies of water (e.g. ponds, streams, swimming pools, etc.) and their demarcation to the grass surface
   ■ Shrubs and hedges that can become broader

4.4 Setting up the base station (07/a, 17)

1. Place the base station (05/1) at right angles to the planned location of the boundary cable as described below:

■ Level (check with spirit level)
■ Straight and level entrance and exit
■ Not arched (the charging pole must not bend or tilt during subsequent tightening of the ground screws)

1. Fix the base station (07/2) to the ground with four ground screws (07/1).

The base station can also be located outside the lawn area (17). In this case the boundary cable has to be routed as shown in the figure.

4.5 Installing the boundary cable

NOTE If the supplied boundary cable delivered with the model is too short, an extension cable can be obtained from your AL-KO dealer or service partner.

4.5.1 Connecting the boundary cable to the base station (07/b)

1. Pull the boundary cable (07/4) out of the packaging.
2. Remove the cover of the cable shaft (07/3) on the connection (07/A).
3. Insulate the end of the boundary cable (07/6) and insert into the terminal (07/7).
4. Close the terminal.
5. Lead the boundary cable through the strain relief (07/5) out of the cable shaft with cable reserve.

NOTE The cable reserve allows smaller corrections to be carried out on the cable guide later.

1. Place the cover on the cable shaft.

4.5.2 Routing the boundary cable (05)

The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn and as much as 10 cm under the turf. The 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.

1. Attach the boundary cable at regular intervals with lawn pegs or route it underground (at a max. depth of 10 cm).

2. Route the boundary cable around obstacles: see chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles", page 43.

3. Create corridors between individual mowing areas: see chapter 4.5.4 "Enclosing corridors (05/h)", page 43.
4. Exclude excessive upward or downward slopes: see chapter 4.5.5 "Excluding downward slopes (15)", page 43.
5. Create loops of cable: see chapter 4.5.6 "Creating loops of cable (11)", page 43.
6. After completing the routing of the boundary cable, connect to the connector (07/B) of the base station: see chapter 4.5.1 "Connecting the boundary cable to the base station (07/b)", page 42.

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 appliance. Avoid too many or unnecessary exclusions. Recesses that are smaller than 6 cm must be excluded, otherwise the appliance may cause damage.

Distance from walls, fences, beds: min. 20 cm (05)

The appliance moves along the boundary cable with an offset of 20 cm to the outside. Therefore, route the boundary cable at a distance of at least 20 cm from walls, fences, beds, etc.

Distance from terrace edges and paved paths (09)

If the terrace or path edge is higher than the grass surface, a distance of at least 20 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 (05)

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. Do not cross the boundary cables (06/c), but lay them parallel (05/e).

Routing the boundary cable around corners (05, 10)

For inwards going corners (10/a): Route the boundary cable diagonally to avoid the appliance becoming caught in the corner.
For outside corners with obstacles (10/b): Route the boundary cable in a point in order to avoid a collision of the appliance with the corner.
For outside corners without obstacles(05/j): Route the boundary cable at an angle of 90°.

4.5.4 Enclosing corridors (05/h)

In the corridor the following distances must be complied with:

■ Total width: min. 60 cm
■ Distance of the boundary cable to the edge: 20 cm
■ Distance between the boundary cables: min. 20 cm

4.5.5 Excluding downward slopes (15)

Downward slopes that are greater than the values specified in the technical data must be excluded with the boundary cable (45% = 45 cm downward slopes per 1 m horizontally) (see technical data).

The boundary cable must not be laid over a gradient of more than 20%. In order to avoid problems when turning, maintain a distance of 50 cm to the 20% gradient. If the gradient at the outer edge of the working area is more than 20% at any point, lay the boundary cable on the flat ground at a distance of 20 cm from the start of the gradient.

4.5.6 Creating loops of cable (11)

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.

i NOTE In the case of spare cable loops, do not form open loops.

1. Lead the boundary cable around the current lawn peg (11/1) and then back to the previous lawn peg (11/3).
2. Then lead the boundary cable to the current lawn peg again. This creates a loop. The cables must be close together.
3. If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in the middle with an additional lawn peg (11/2).

4.5.7 Typical faults in cable routing (06)

• Spare cable loops of the boundary cable are not laid in an even, elongated loop (06/a).
  ■ The boundary cable is not routed properly around corners (06/b).
  The boundary cable is crossed over or not routed clockwise (06/c).
  The boundary cable is routed too imprecisely so that edge areas of the grass surface cannot be mowed (06/d).
  The boundary cable is not routed lying directly next to itself when guided towards and back from the edge to an obstacle inside the lawn (06/e).
  ■ The start points are set too far away from the base station (06/f).
  ■ The boundary cable is routed beyond the edge of the grass surface (06/g).
  ■ When routing the boundary cable, the minimum distance for corridors of 20 cm is undercut (06/h).
  The boundary cable is routed too close (i.e. at a distance of less than 20 cm) to obstacles that cannot be driven over (06/i).

4.6 Connecting the base station to the power source (08)

1. Place the power supply unit (08/1) in a dry location that is protected against direct sunlight and sufficiently close to the base station (08/2).
2. Screw cable (08/3) firmly onto the power supply unit.
3. Plug the mains plug (08/4) of the power supply unit into a power socket (08/5) protected from rain.

NOTE We recommend connecting the power supply to the mains supply via an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a rated leakage current < 30 mA.

4.7 Checking the connections on the base station (08)

1. Check whether the LED on the front side of the charging station (13/1) is lit. If not:

■ Disconnect the mains plug.
- Check that all plug connectors of the power source and the boundary cable are positioned correctly and check for damage.

Worn or bent cutting blades must be replaced.

1. Switch off the appliance with
2. Set down the appliance with the cutting blades facing upwards.
3. Unscrew the fastening screws.
4. Take the cutting blade out of the blade seat.
5. Clean the blade seat with a soft brush.

Note: The cutting blades are sharpened over the entire length and can therefore also be mounted rotated by 180^ , which doubles their service life.

1. Replacing the cutting blades:

If cutting blades have not been rotated since the initial mounting: Rotate the cutting blades by 180° and insert into the blade seat again with the sharpened side pointing towards the appliance, and tighten the fastening screws again by hand.
If the cutting blades have already been rotated once since the initial mounting: Insert new cutting blades into the blade seat again with the sharpened side pointing towards the appliance, and tighten the new fastening screws by hand.

Note: It is only allowed to use original spare parts of the manufacturer.

In case of stubborn dirt that cannot be removed with a brush, the blade plate must be replaced because an imbalance can lead to higher noise levels, increased wear and malfunctions.

As a rule, the clearer blades do not need to be replaced.
