18 - English 3. INSTALLATION Tip!

English - 19 3. INSTALLATION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Securing the wire to the ground with staples. It is preferable to staple down the boundary cable, if you want to make adjustments to the boundary wire during the first few weeks of operation. • Bury the wire. It [...]

20 - English 3. INSTALLATION Boundaries for the working area If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent Automower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear. If the working area borders against a small ditch, for example, a flower [...]

English - 21 3. INSTALLATION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains. Run the cable out to the area, route it around the area to be demarcated and then back along the same route.[...]

22 - English 3. INSTALLATION Secondary areas It is recommended to create a secondary area when the working area is made up of two areas that are joined by a passage where the distance between the boundary wires is less than 60 cm. Run the boundary wire then around the secondary area so that it forms an island outside of the main area. Automower mus[...]

English - 23 3. INSTALLATION Automower can mow areas inside the working area that slope up to 35 cm per distance metre (35 %). Areas that slope more must be demarcated by the boundary wire. When any part of the working area's boundary slopes more than 10 cm per distance metre (10 %), the boundary wire must be routed about 35 cm in on flat grou[...]

24 - English 3. INSTALLATION • Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the ground and secure the staples close together with approximately 75 cm between each staple. The wire must generally lie close to the ground so, as not to be cut off before the grass roots have grown over it. • Use a hammer to knock down the staples in the ground. Exer[...]

English - 25 3. INSTALLATION Joining the boundary wire If the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced: Use original solderless coupler. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection. To splice: Insert both cable ends in the coupler. Now press down the button on top of the connector fully. Use a pair of pliers or the l[...]

26 - English 3. INSTALLATION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the loop generator/charger: 1. Place the cable ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. 2. Press the connector together using a pair of pliers. Press until you hear a click. 3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire.[...]

English - 27 3. INSTALLATION 3.6 Checking the installation Check the loop signal by looking to see what indication the green LED on the loop generator/charger is giving. • Steady light = the signal is okay. • Flashing once every other second = break in the loop and no signal found. • Flashing twice every other second = weak signal. This may b[...]
