3.5.4.3 Splicing the boundary wire
CAUTION: Twinned cables, or a screw terminal
block that is insulated with insulation tape are
not satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will cause
the wire to oxidise and after a time result in a
broken circuit.
Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long
enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and
gives a reliable electrical connection.
Insert both wire ends in the coupler. Check that the
wires are fully inserted into the coupler so that the ends
are visible through the transparent area on the other
side of the coupler. Now press down the button on top of
the coupler fully. Use a multigrip pliers to completely
press down the button on the coupler.

3.6 Connecting the boundary wire

CAUTION: The boundary wire must not be
crossed when connecting it to the charging
station. The right hand wire end must be
connected to the right hand pin on the charging
station and the left hand wire end to the left pin.
Connect the boundary wire to the charging station:
1. Open the connector and place the wire in the
connector grip.
840 - 001 -
2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
Press until you hear a click.
3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm above
each connector.
4. Tilt the protective cover on the charging station
forward and run the wire ends up each channel at
the rear of the charging station. Press the connector
onto the metal pins, marked AL (left) and AR (right),
on the charging station.
5. Mark the wires with the accompanying cable
markers. This makes it easier to connect the wires
correctly when for instance the charging station has
been stored indoors for the winter.

3.7 Installation of the 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 remote areas of the garden.
The same cable roll is used for both the boundary and
guide wires. The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can
be stapled to or buried in the ground.
