•
The robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire on
the same side of the wire to and from the
charging station. This means that the guide wire
is to the right of the robotic lawnmower when the
mower travels to the charging station while it is
to the left of the mower when the mower travels
away from the charging station.
•
If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep
slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an
angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on
the slope.
•
Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can
make it difficult for the robotic lawnmower to
follow the guide wire.

4. Run the guide wire up to the point on the boundary
wire where a loop to facilitate the connection of the
guide wire was previously added.
5. Cut the loop on the boundary wire using for instance
a pair of wire cutters.
6. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using a
coupler:
•
Insert the boundary wire in each of the holes in
the coupler. It does not matter which holes are
used to connect each boundary wire. Insert the
guide wire in the centre hole 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.
•
Use a polygrip to completely press down the
button on the coupler.
7. Staple down/bury the connector in the lawn.
CAUTION: The guide wire may not cross the
boundary wire, for instance a boundary wire that
is laid out to an island.
CAUTION: Test that the guide wire works
before using the robotic lawnmower.
3.8 Checking the installation
Check the loop signal by inspecting the indicator lamp
on the charging station.
