3.8Installation of the guide wire

The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the charging station, out towards a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage and is then connected to the boundary wire. The same wire used for the boundary wire is also used for the guide wire.

Up to two guide wires can be installed for 260 ACX. In similarity to the boundary wire, the guide wire can either be stapled down or buried.

When a guide wire is installed, Automower® can also be set to follow the guide wire out from the charging station using the function Follow loop out (3-2-1), see page 46.

Need of a guide wire

The guide wire may be necessary in installations where the search methods Irregular and Follow boundary wire are not adequate for the mower to quickly and easily find the charging station.

A few examples of installations where a guide wire is recommended follow below:

•Narrow passages.

In passages where the distance between the boundary wires is less than 3 metres, it is recommended to install a guide wire through the passage. This is a better solution than allowing Automower® to follow close to the boundary wire by setting a low Corridor width value.

• The boundary wire runs along a steep slope (steeper than 25 %).

When Automower® follows the boundary wire that runs along a steep slope, the mower will change direction and run away from the boundary wire.

•Numerous or large islands.

If Automower® is permitted to follow the boundary wire it may circle an island roughly twice before it leaves the island and once again searches for the boundary wire.
