3. INSTALLATION
Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station
The boundary wire must be laid in line with the rear end of the charging station. If the boundary wire is laid in any other way, the robotic lawn mower may find it hard to find the charging station.
In many cases, the straight wire section to the left of the charging station can be reduced to 1 metre.
Depending on how the boundary wire is laid in the rest of the installation, the straight wire section to the right of the charging station may need to be extended in certain cases.
Joining the boundary wire
Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection.
Insert both wire ends 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. Now press down the button on top of the coupler fully. Use a pair of pliers if the button on the coupler is difficult to press down by hand.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Twinned cables, or a screw terminal block that is insulated with insulation tape are not satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will cause the conductors to oxidise and after a while result in a broken circuit.
