3. 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 wire. The same cable
roll is used for both the boundary and guide wires.
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 remote areas of the
garden.
To ensure an even cut over the entire lawn, the
robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire from the
charging station to the guide wire connection in the
boundary wire and start mowing there. Depending on
the garden layout, one should adjust how often the
robotic lawnmower is to follow the guide wire from the
charging station. See 6.6 Settings on page 51.
The robotic lawnmower runs at varying distances
from the guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks
forming when the robotic lawnmower follows the
guide wire to and from the charging station. The area
beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then
uses is called the Corridor.
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. The
corridor is 50 cm wide. When installing, it is therefore
important to have at least 75 cm free space to the left
of the guide wire and at least 25 cm free space to the
right 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 stapled
to or buried in the ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure that there is always at least 75 cm
of free space to the left of the guide wire as
seen facing the charging station.
