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 loop. The same cable roll
is used for both the boundary loop and guide wire.
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 hard-to reach 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 loop 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 6.4 Installation on page 45.
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. When
installing, it is therefore important to create as much
free space as possible to the left of the guide wire, as
seen facing the charging station. It is not allowed to
lay the guide wire closer than 12” (30 cm) from the
boundary wire.
The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled
to or buried in the ground.
