Important Precautions Before beginning, it is crucial to follow these steps to ensure the safe and proper use of the RoboLawn Cable Breakage Detector.

Step 1: Turn Off the Charging Station Step 2: Unplug All Boundary and Guide Cables
Caution: Failure to follow these steps can result in damage to the charging station and/or the RoboLawn tester!
How to the tester works
The RoboLawn Cable Breakage Detector operates as a compact computerised device. It systematically assesses every conceivable combination of cable connections, enabling it to accurately identify and isolate any damaged or faulty cables within the system.




How to Use the tester

Step 1: Starting the Tester
- To start the tester simply press in the button under the text "ON/OFF". By
doing so the tester should light up as indicated below. 

- If all red LEDs are blinking then the battery is low and needs

to be replaced, see battery section further down.




Step 2: Connecting Boundary and Guide Cables
- Boundary Cables (B1 and B2): Connect the boundary cables to the B1 and
B2 ports respectively. These cables are essential for defining the mowing area and its very important that these are connected properly to the tester!

- Guide Cables (G1, G2, G3): If your robotic lawnmower uses guide cables,
connect them in sequential order, starting with G1, followed by G2, and G3. If your mower doesn't have three guide cables or any at all, simply leave the unneeded ports unconnected.

How to Interpret LEDs
While identifying intact cables is generally straightforward, I have provided two installation examples with scenarios to enhance clarity. 

Remember, the primary indicator is simple:

- Green Light: Indicates a healthy cable.
 - Red Light: Signals cable issues.
 - Blinking Green: Problem in-between two guides.

Example 1: Robotic lawnmower with 1 guide

In this scenario all cables are whole :)

In this scenario B1 and G1 are whole, but B2 has a problem. So somewhere between G1
and B2 there is something wrong.

Example 2: Robotic lawnmower with 2 guides

Blinking

In this scenario G1, G2 and B2 are whole, but B1 has a problem.

In this scenario B1, B2, G1 and G2 are whole. However, G1 and G3 are blinking green. This means the problem is in-between G1 and G3.

Sleep mode
When all LEDs, except the power indicator (PWR), turn off, it signifies the tester's battery-saving sleep mode, which activates after three minutes of inactivity and automatically wakes up on cable state changes. Alternatively you can wake by toggling the power.

Battery warning
If all LEDs (except PWR) are blinking red, that means the testers batteries needs to be replaced. To replace them, you need to unscrew two Phillips head screws. Then you simply slide out the lid and replace the two AA batteries. Be careful with the polarity!
