The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to
or buried in the ground.
CAUTION: Make as much space as possible to
the left of the guide wire (as seen facing the
charging station). Also, it is not allowed to lay
the guide wire closer than 30 cm / 12 in. from
the boundary wire.
3.7.1 Laying and connecting the guide wire
1. Run the wire through the slot in the bottom of the
charger plate.
2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way
as for the boundary wire described in
the boundary wire on page 18 . Connect it to the
contact pin on the charging station that is labelled
GUIDE.
3. Run the guide wire at least 2 m / 6.6 ft. straight out
from the front edge of the plate.

Connecting
4. Run the guide wire up to the point on the boundary
wire where a loop to facilitate the connection of the
guide wire was previously added.
5. Cut the loop on the boundary wire using for instance
a pair of wire cutters.
6. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using a
coupler:
•
The robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire on
the same side of the wire to and from the
charging station. This means that the guide wire
is to the right of the robotic lawnmower when the
mower travels to the charging station while it is
to the left of the mower when the mower travels
away from the charging station.
If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep
slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an
angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on
the slope.
Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles. This can
make it difficult for the robotic lawnmower to
follow the guide wire.
