3.5.4.1 Eyelet for connecting the guide wire
To facilitate the connection of the guide wire to the
boundary wire, it is recommended to create an eyelet
with about 20 cm / 8 in. of extra boundary wire at the
point where the guide wire will later be connected. It is a
good idea to plan where the guide wire will be placed
before laying out the boundary wire. See
boundary wire op pagina 18.
3.5.4.2 Laying the boundary wire in towards the
charging station
The positioning of the charging station is flexible.
However, it is recommended that the boundary wire is
not closer to itself (parallel) than 60 cm / 24 in.
OPGELET: Do not place wire in coils, or the
cable drum with loop wire, behind the charging
station. This can interfere with the charging
station signal and cause docking problems for
the robotic lawnmower.
60- cm / 24- in.
3.5.4.3 Splicing the boundary wire
OPGELET: Twinned cables, or a screw terminal
block that is insulated with insulation tape are
not satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will cause
the wire to oxidise and after a time result in a
broken circuit.
Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long
enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and
gives a reliable electrical connection.
Insert both wire ends in the coupler. Check that the
wires are fully inserted into the coupler so that the ends
are visible through the transparent area on the other
side of the coupler. Now press down the button on top of
the coupler fully. Use a multigrip pliers to completely
press down the button on the coupler.
3.6 Connecting the boundary wire
OPGELET: The boundary wire must not be
crossed when connecting it to the charging
station. The right hand wire end must be
connected to the right hand pin on the charging
station and the left hand wire end to the left pin.
Connect the boundary wire to the charging station:
1. Open the connector and place the wire in the
connector grip.
2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
Press until you hear a click.
