7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using a
coupler:
a) Insert the boundary wire and guide wire 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.
b) Use a polygrip to completely compress the
button on the coupler. It does not matter which
holes are used to connect each wire.
8. Staple down or bury the splice in the lawn.
CAUTION: The guide wire may not cross the
boundary wire, for instance a boundary wire that
is laid out to an island.
3.8 Checking the installation
Check the loop signal by inspecting the indicator lamp
on the charging station.
See
Indicator lamp in the charging station on page 45
if
the lamp does not indicate a solid or flashing green light.
3.9 First start-up and guide calibration
3.9.1 First start-up
When the robotic lawnmower is started for the first time
(ON/OFF button), a start-up sequence in the robotic
lawnmower’s menu is carried out as well as an
automatic calibration of the guide signal.
1. Open the hatch.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
A start-up sequence begins when the robotic
lawnmower is started for the first time. The following
is requested:
• Language
• Country
• Date
• Time
• Selection and confirmation of personal PIN code.
All combinations except 0000 are permitted.
Note: Use the
MEMO
page at the beginning of the
manual to make a note of the PIN code.
3. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station
and press the Start button.
3.9.2 Guide calibration
1. The robotic lawnmower drives out of the charging
station and straddles the guide wire to the starting
point (default distance 60 cm / 2 ft.), where the
calibration process begins. The maximum distance
from the charging station to the starting point is 300
cm / 9.8 ft. The calibration process sets as wide
guide corridor as possible to reduce the risk of
tracks forming on the lawn. See
Starting point on
page 27
.
Note: The robotic lawnmower always runs to the left
of the guide wire (as seen facing the charging
station). For the widest possible guide corridor,
make sure that the distance from the starting point to
the boundary wire is minimum 1.35 m / 4.5 ft.
(perpendicular to the guide wire). If the distance on
the left side of the starting point is less than 0.6 m / 2
ft. the calibration process is interrupted.
