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 meters, the robotic lawnmower can have
difculty following the guide wire.
The guide wire, together with the part of the
boundary loop that comprises the return to the
charging station, is called the guide loop. The
signal in the guide loop always goes to the left
at the connection from the guide wire to the
boundary wire. 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
an 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 labeled G1. On
an installation where several guides are to be
connected, use G2 and G3 (Automower® 430X
and Automower® 450X).
4. Mark the wires with 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 meters 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 wire and the
guide wire must always be at least 30 cm.
