Installation Of The Boundary Wire - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 315 Operator's Manual

3.4 Installation of the boundary wire

Ensure correct installation of the boundary wire according to the instruction
The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways:
• Secure the wire to the ground with pegs.
It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during
the first few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer
visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and the pegs supplied when carrying out the installation.
• Bury the wire.
It is preferable to bury the boundary wire if you want to dethatch or aerate the lawn. If necessary, both
methods can be combined so one part of the boundary wire is pegged down and the remainder is buried.
The wire can be buried for instance using an edge cutter or a straight spade. Make sure to lay the boundary
wire at least 1 cm and a maximum of 20 cm in the ground.
Plan where to lay the boundary wire
The boundary wire must be laid so that:
• The wire forms a loop around the working area for the robotic lawnmower. Only original boundary wire
must be used. It is specially designed to resist dampness from the soil that could otherwise easily damage
the wires.
• The robotic lawnmower is never more than 35 metres from the wire at any point in the entire working area.
• The wire is no more than 800 metres long.
• About 20 cm of extra wire is available to which the guide wire will be connected later. See 3.6 Installation of
the guide wire on page 29 .
Depending on what the working area is adjacent to, the boundary wire must be laid at different distances from
obstacles. The illustration below shows how the boundary wire must be laid around the working area and around
obstacles. Use the supplied measurement gauge to obtain the correct distance. See 2.1 What is what? on page 11.
