5.3 Laying the boundary cable 1. Position the base station so that the terminals (1) are in line with the boundary cable; Warning Important! Do not connect the terminals (1) to the boundary cable!! Danger of damage to the boundary cable and impairment of function of the robot lawnmower! n To ensure reliable function, the boundary cable must be laid as described in the following steps. n Check the area to be mown. n Remove mole hills and windfall fruit, and level out any holes in the area to be mown.
Spare loops of cable English ca. 1 - 2 m n You should incorporate spare loops of cable at regular intervals in order to allow the base station to be repositioned or the mowing area to be extended even after the mowing area has been laid out. To do this, guide the boundary cable around a lawn peg, return to the previous lawn peg, then continue as shown, securing with another lawn peg. n Select the number of spare cable loops according to your own judgement.
5.4 Laying options min. 15 cm min. 15 cm min. 30 cm n When laying the boundary cable in walkways, it is necessary to maintain the minimum distances from obstacles and the minimum passage width, otherwise the robot lawnmower will not be able to operate correctly. STOP n Crossovers in the boundary cable automatically cause the mowing procedure to be cancelled, because the robot lawnmower cannot process the signals it receives at this point.
5.5 Laying the cable around obstacles 5.6 Connecting the boundary cable to the base station 1 min. 30 cm English n When laying the cable around obstacles, maintain the distances shown in the illustration. 2 min. 30 cm n When the distance is at least 30 cm, the robot lawnmower interprets the distance as a path and moves around the obstacle. n Remove the insulation from the boundary cable (2) after laying the cable and connect to the spring terminals (1). 5.
5.8 Opening the cover on the rear of the base 5.9 Checking the connection station 1 2 Note! The cover only has to be opened for the purpose of checking the LED displays. 1 2 Important!
