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
Up to two guide wires can be connected (only one guide wire in Automower® 320).
Run the robotic lawnmower at varying distances from the guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming. The area beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor. The wider the corridor allowed by the installation, the less the risk of tracks forming. When installing, it is therefore important to create as much free space as possible along the guide wire.
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 pegged on or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure to have as much free space as possible to the left of the guide wire, as seen facing the charging station.
