Fastening Perimeter Wire To The Ground; Back At The Base Station - Completing The Perimeter Wire Setup - Robomow RS 630 2015 Original Operating Instructions

Robomow S models
2.3.3 A pond, swimming pool, or watercourse at lawn's edge
OR:
Grass level more than 70 cm (2 ft.) higher than outer area.
P Set the Perimeter Wire at least 1.2 m (4 ft.) from the water (or chasm).
P You may provide a fence or another barrier along the lawn's edge by the
water, so Robomow will surely detect it.

Fastening Perimeter Wire to the Ground

P It is not necessary to bury the Perimeter Wire,
though you may do so, up to 5 cm (2 inches) deep.
P Pull the wire tight while hammering the peg to its final depth
in the ground.
WARNING !
Protect your eyes!
Protect your hands!
Use proper eye protection and wear appropriate work gloves when
hammering the pegs. Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when
driving them in.
1
P Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire down below the grass
level and prevent the wire from becoming a tripping hazard.
)
P If additional wire is required in order to complete the setup,
connect it using the water-proof wire connectors supplied
with Robomow. (See Section 9.4 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire).
Use only the wire connectors supplied with Robomow.
Neither Twisted cables, nor a screw terminal insulated with insulation tape
are a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture will make other conductors oxidize, which will later cause a
broken circuit.

2.5 Back at the Base Station – Completing the Perimeter
Wire Setup
11
Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to the ground, you
complete the setup by attaching the beginning and the end of the Perimeter
Wire to the Base Station Head.
P Hold both ends of the Perimeter Wire: the wire that
started the loop is the one with an attached connector.
P Twist the two wires.
P Trim the end without the connector to make both of equal length.
Remove any excess wire and strip back 5 mm (1/4 inches)
of insulation from the wire end.
6
The barrier should be at least 15 cm (6 inch) high. This will
block Robomow, under all circumstances, from crossing over the
Perimeter Wire into the water area.
If such a barrier exists, you may set the Perimeter Wire at the Long
distance of 40 cm (16 inches) from the barrier.
What's in the Boxes
The wire and the pegs will soon become
invisible under the growth of new grass.
