The robotic lawnmower

cannot find the charging

station.

Boundary wire broken. Check LED

signals on the charging station. See

“6.4 Troubleshooting loop signal” on

page 83

Too wide guide width. See

“3.4

Testing the installation” on page 31

Reduce the guide width if necessary.
Change the position of the guide

wire.

See “3.3.1 Installation of the

guide wire” on page 30

The circuit board is faulty and does

not transmit a guide signal. Check the

guide signal. See
