5.3 Laying the boundary cable
Important!
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.
Lay your boundary cable around obstacles.
n Lawns with grass more than 8 cm tall
cannot be mown using the robot
lawnmower, and will have to be mown in
advance before the boundary cable is laid.
n Once the boundary cable has been laid on
the grass, do not scarify the area of the
boundary cable any longer.

max. 5/7 cm

n The boundary cable can be laid on the lawn (1) and as
much as 5/7 cm under the turf (2). Have your dealer carry
out the laying under the turf on your behalf.
n If necessary, you can also combine both methods.
n If the cable laid is more than 200 metres in length, it will
be necessary to install a second base station (optional) for
recharging purposes only.
Note!
We recommend using a second base station with simple
garden layouts in which programmed entry points are not
used.
1. Position the base station so that the terminals (1) are in line
with the boundary cable;
Warning
Do not connect the terminals (1) to the
boundary cable!!

2. Before securing the base station to the ground with the
lawn pegs (2), check that when the robot lawnmower
positions itself correctly when it returns for recharging;

3. Connect the base station to the electrical power supply
(see chapters 5.7 - 5.8 - 5.9).
Note!
We recommend that the second base station is installed
at the same time as the rest of the system. If the station is
installed at a later stage, it may prove di cult to trace the
boundary cable if it is buried in the ground.
Warning
If a second base station is installed, programmed
Robot entry points will no longer be valid.
