3.3 Charging station The charging station has 3 functions: • To send control signals along the boundary wire. • To send control signals in the guide wire so that the robotic lawnmower can find the charging station. • To charge the robotic lawnmower battery. 3.3.1 Best charging station location Take - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 430X with installation service | Owner Manual - Page 13
The charging station should not be placed on an island as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal way.

If the battery is flat, it takes around 80 to 100 minutes to fully charge it. WARNING: Only charge the robotic - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 430X with installation service | Owner Manual - Page 15
any point in the working area. • The wire is no more than 800 m long. • About 20 cm of extra wire is available to which the guide wire will be connected later. See Laying the boundary wire on page 18. The illustration below shows how the boundary wire must be laid around - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 430X with installation service | Owner Manual - Page 16

as the robotic lawnmower can then find it difficult to find the charging station (see figure). 1. 2. 3.5.4.1 Eyelet for connecting the guide wire To facilitate the connection of the guide wire to the boundary wire, it is recommended to create an eyelet with about 20 cm of extra boundary wire at - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 430X with installation service | Owner Manual - Page 19
until you hear a click. 3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm above each connector. The robotic lawnmower runs at varying distances from the guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming. The area beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor.
