INSTALLATION
Laying and connecting the guide wire
1. Before laying and connecting the guide wire, it
is important to give consideration to the length
of the guide loop, especially in large or complex
installations. If the guide loop is longer than 400
metres the robotic lawnmower can have difculty
following the guide wire.
The guide wire together with the section of the
boundary loop that makes up the return wire
to the charging station is called the guide loop.
The current in the guide loop always goes to the
left at the connection from the guide wire to the
boundary loop. The two gures here display what
is regarded as a guide loop. The gures are also
a good example of how the guide loop in a working
area can have very varying lengths depending on
where the charging station is placed.
2. Tilt the top cover on the charging station forward
and run the guide wire up the channel leading to
the guide connection.
3. Fit a connector to the guide wire in the same way
as for the boundary wire in 3.5 Connecting the
boundary wire. Connect it to the contact pin on the
charging station that is labelled Guide 1 (Guide 1
or Guide 2 for Automower® 330X).
4. Mark the wires with the accompanying wire
labels. This makes it easier to reconnect the wires
correctly when for instance the charging station
has been stored indoors for the winter.
5. Run the guide wire straight under the charging
plate and then at least 2 metres straight out from
the front edge of the plate.
Consider when laying the guide wire that as much
space as possible is provided to the left (as seen
facing the charging station) of the guide wire.
The distance between the boundary loop and
the guide wire must however be always at least
30 cm.
