P
Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire down below the grass
level and prevent the wire from becoming a tripping hazard
P
The wire and the pegs will soon become invisible under the growth of
new grass.
P
If additional wire is required in order to complete the setup, connect it
using the water-proof wire connectors supplied with Robomow. (Refer to
paragraph 10.7 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire).

IMPORTANT
c
Use
only the wire connectors supplied with Robomow.
Neither
Twisted cables,
nor
a screw terminal insulated with insulation tape
are a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture will cause such conductors to oxidize and which later leads to
a broken circuit.
2.4 Back at Base Station – Completing the Perimeter Wire
setup
Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to the ground, you
complete the setup by attaching the beginning and end of the Perimeter
Wire to the Base Station board.
P
Hold both ends of the Perimeter Wire: the wire that started the loop is
the one with an attached connector.
P
Trim the end without the connector to make both of equal length.
Remove any excess wire and Strip back 5 mm (0.2 inches) of insulation
from the wire end.
P
Peg the two perimeter wires down to the ground using the same peg
leaving enough loose wire.
Twist together the two loose parts.
P
Thread the two twisted wire ends through the center aperture in the
Base Station.
P
Insert the end of the wire without the connector into the hole of the other
wire’s connector. Use a small flat screwdriver to tighten and secure this
wire into the connector.
