For stable RTK signal, install the RTK base station in an open, unobstructed area. Avoid trees, eaves, or buildings that may block the signal.
- Install on a soft, flat surface.
- Keep the charging station and lawn at the same level.
- Maintain a distance of at least 3m from houses, trees, and walls.
- Ensure a clear sky view (at least 120° unobstructed) for the antenna.
- Place the charging station on flat, non-hardened ground with the antenna upright.
- Leave a minimum of 10cm at the back and 1m at the front of the charging station for smooth docking.
- Stay away from sprinkler heads, fountains, other water systems, substations, generators, water pump stations, and air conditioners.
5.2. Charging Pile Installation Environment Requirements
- Place the charging station on a flat lawn.
- Avoid installing in L-shaped building corners or narrow paths.
- Ensure no obstacles between the charging station and the docking point.
- The charging station base plate should not be bent or tilted.
5.3. Installation of Charging Station and RTK Base Station
- Install RTK Reference Station: Install the RTK reference station on the mounting pole. Connect its power port to the power extension cable, then to the charging pile power port. Ensure the RTK is securely installed.
- Assemble Mounting Poles: Assemble two mounting poles and the tripod ground stake. Insert the RTK tripod into the ground, keeping it upright.
- Fix Charging Station: Fix the charging station on a horizontal surface using four fixing screws, ensuring it remains level.
- Connect RTK Extension Cable: Connect the RTK power extension cable to the charging pile power port.
5.4. Blade Installation and Removal
Install or remove the blades as shown in the figure. Always wear gardening gloves when handling blades.
5.5. Download the ANTHBOT App
The ANTHBOT App is essential for controlling and managing your robotic mower. Scan the QR code below or search for "ANTHBOT" in your app store to download.
After installation, register or log in to your account. Follow the in-app instructions for registration, including selecting your country, entering your email, receiving a verification code, and setting a password.
5.6. Creating a Map (Auto and Manual Mapping)
Before mapping, ensure the device is on the charging pile, clear the lawn of debris, and confirm the device status shows "Ready" and "good positioning".
Automatic Mapping Mode
For lawns with clear boundaries, the device can automatically identify boundaries and establish a map. This mode supports automatic mapping of a single lawn area. If your lawn has complex terrain or multiple separate areas, manual remote mapping is recommended.
Manual Mapping Mode
Stay within 5 meters of the device for good network connection. Guide the device along the lawn's perimeter on flat and open curbs using the app's controls. Do not drive on uneven curbs.
Map Expansion
You can expand on an already established map.
Creating Exclusion Zones
Set dangerous areas like cliffs, pools, or deep pits as exclusion zones to prevent the mower from entering them. Enter the app's map interface, select the exclusion zone tool, and define the area and size.
Establishing Exclusion Zones Remotely
Navigate the mower remotely to the desired area, select "Start Creating", and outline the target area. Once a closed path is formed, the exclusion zone is established.
Zone Cutting Settings
You can add zones, edit their size, move, or delete them. Click on a zone to edit its properties.
