If an obstacle is less than 3.3 ft. (1.0 m) from the
boundary, install the peripheral wire around the
obstacle. If the distance between the obstacle and the
boundary is greater than 3.3 ft. (1.0 m), but less than
16.4 ft. (5.0 m), install a pseudo-island.

6.7 Islands

Create an island when an obstacle is more than:
• 16.4 ft. (5.0 m) from the peripheral wire
• 49.2 ft. (15.0 m) from the charging station
• 16.4 ft. (5.0 m) from another island or
pseudo-island
Install the peripheral wire around an obstacle to create
an island. A maximum of five islands can be installed.
Installation requirements for an island:
• counterclockwise direction around an object
• place the approach and return sides of the
peripheral wire directly next to each other (do
not cross or twist the wire)

Create a pseudo island when an obstacle is less than:
• 16.4 ft. (5.0 m) from the peripheral wire
• 49.2 ft. (15.0 m) from the charging station
• 16.4 ft. (5.0 m) from another island or
pseudo-island
Install the peripheral wire around an obstacle to create
a pseudo-island.
Installation requirements for a pseudo-island:
• counterclockwise direction around an object
• allow a fixed distance of 15.7 - 23.6 in.
(400 - 600 mm) between the approach and
