Understanding the Boundary Wire
The boundary wire (edge wire) defines the lawn mower's working area and ensures efficient operation by preventing it from leaving the designated area.
It creates an electromagnetic signal, which is detected by the lawn mower's sensors.
Key Components:
- Boundary wire: Installed along the perimeter of the working area.
- Signal generator: Located in the charging station; emits the boundary signal.
- Connecting lead and pegs: Used to secure the wire in place.
Installation Checklist:
- Plan the layout:
- Identify obstacles such as trees, flower beds, or paths.
- Avoid sharp angles; use gentle curves at corners.
- Mark off designated areas like pools or steep slopes.
- Install the wire:
- Lay the wire flat on the ground, bury it, or place it under tiles if necessary (up to 5 cm deep).
- Ensure a complete loop to the charging station.
- Use pegs to secure the wire at regular intervals (every 30-50 cm).
- Ensure there are no loose sections to avoid the mower getting stuck.
- Be careful to avoid damaging the wire when hammering in the pegs. Excessive force can cut the wire and cause faults.
- Connect to the station:
- Connect the ends of the boundary wire to the designated ports on the charging station (follow IN and OUT, and ensure the station is positioned correctly).
- Test for a stable signal before starting the lawn mower – the charging station indicator should light green.
