Chapter 7 Installation
7.2.1.2 Islands
Islands are loops in the peripheral wire around permanent obstacles.
Note: A maximum of 5 islands can be installed!
This is to save time while returning to the charging station AND to avoid bouncing off
from island to island.
Islands can be created when the obstacle is:
-
more than 5m from the peripheral wire
-
more than 15m from the charging station
-
more than 5m from another island or pseudo-island
-
less than 5m in dimension or diameter
If these conditions cannot be satisfied see
(page 52).
The peripheral wire is taken around the obstacle and the approach and return wires laid next
to each other.
Figure 59: Route of the peripheral wire around an island
Note: The wire must be laid around an island in the opposite direction to which it is
laid around the field.
It is recommended that, the peripheral wire is laid in a clockwise direction from the charging
station. The wire must then go towards the obstacle and around it in an counter-clockwise
direction.
Note: The wires must not cross.
Lay the two wires next one to each other (10 mm apart), or attach them with cable straps at a
distance of 100 mm. There is no need to twist the two wires together
