Minimum length
Minimum length of the peripheral wire: 200m
Maximum length
Maximum length of the peripheral wire: 1200m
A second charging station is recommended:
• when the total length of peripheral wire (including islands and pseudo-islands) exceeds
750m ,
• when there are more than 5 obstacles on the track border on the way back to the
charging station,

Recommended Depth
50 to 70mm
Minimum depth
This should be 20mm. However:
- The cable should never be able to come to the surface where it could be damaged.
- It should be deep enough in locations exposed to heavy duty applications (e.g. in front
of goals on football pitches).
Maximum depth
It is not recommended to exceed 70mm.
Critical angles
Angles must be wider than 90°. Acute angles may trap robots when mowing.

Note: If a minimum length of 200m is not possible, it is necessary to
inductor in series with the wire
Note: Angles must be rounded with a minimum radius of 1m.
