3. INSTALLATION

3.6 Installation of the guide wire

The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary loop. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary loop and guide wire.

The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find its way back to the charging station but also to guide the robotic lawnmower to hard-to reach areas of the garden.

To ensure an even cut over the entire lawn, the robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire from the charging station to the guide wire connection in the boundary loop and start mowing there. Depending on the garden layout, one should adjust how often the robotic lawnmower is to follow the guide wire from the charging station. See 6.4 Installation on page 45.

The robotic lawnmower runs at varying distances from the guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming when the robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire to and from the charging station. The area beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor.

The robotic lawnmower always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen facing the charging station. Thus the corridor is to the left of the guide wire. When installing, it is therefore important to create as much free space as possible to the left of the guide wire, as seen facing the charging station. It is not allowed to lay the guide wire closer than 30 cm from the boundary wire.

The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to or buried in the ground.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It is important to create as much free space as possible to the left of the guide wire, as seen facing the charging station.
