Use
only the wire connectors supplied with Robomow.

Back at the Base Station – Completing the Perimeter Wire Setup
Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to the
ground, complete the setup by attaching the beginning and the
end of the Perimeter Wire to the Base Station Head.
o
Hold both ends of the Perimeter Wire: the wire that started
the loop is the one with an attached connector.
o
Twist the two wires.
o
Trim the end without the connector to make both of equal
length. Remove any excess wire and strip back 5 mm (1/4
inches) of insulation from the wire end.
o
Peg the two Perimeter Wires down to the ground using the
same peg leaving enough loose wire. Twist together the two
loose parts.
o
Insert the end of the wire without the connector into the hole
of the connector. Use a small flat screwdriver to tighten and
secure this wire into the connector.

o
Place the Base Station on the Perimeter Wire as shown
in the figure to the right.
o
Align the center of the Base Station on the wire.
o
Attach the Perimeter Wire connector to the Base Station
Head.
