If an additional wire is required in order to complete
the setup, connect it using the water-proof wire
connectors supplied with Robomow. (See Section
11.6 – 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 may cause the conductors to oxidize, which
will later cause a broken circuit.

Back at the Base Station – Completing the Perimeter Wire Setup
Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to the
ground, complete the setup by attaching the beginning and the
end of the Perimeter Wire to the Base Station Head.
o
Peg the two Perimeter Wires down to the ground using the
same peg leaving enough loose wire.
o
Trim the end without the connector to make both of equal
length and twist the two wires.
o
Twist the two wires. A proper twist of the wires is crucial for a
robust docking of Robomow at the Base Station.
o
Strip back 5 mm (1/4 inches) of insulation from the wire end.
o
Insert the end of the wire without the connector into the hole
of the connector. Use a small flat screwdriver to tighten and
secure this wire into the connector.
