1. 2. 2. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers. Press until you hear a click. 3.5.4.3 Splicing the boundary wire CAUTION: Twinned cables, or a screw terminal block that is insulated with insulation tape are not satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will cause the wire to oxidise and after a time result in a broken circuit. 3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm / 0.4-0.8 in. above each connector. Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection. Insert both wire ends 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. Now press down the button on top of the coupler fully. Use a multigrip pliers to completely press down the button on the coupler. 4. Tilt the protective cover on the charging station forward and run the wire ends up each channel at the rear of the charging station. Press the connector onto the metal pins, marked AL (left) and AR (right), on the charging station. 5. Mark the wires with the accompanying cable markers. This makes it easier to connect the wires correctly when for instance the charging station has been stored indoors for the winter. 3.6 Connecting the boundary wire CAUTION: The boundary wire must not be crossed when connecting it to the charging station. The right hand wire end must be connected to the right hand pin on the charging station and the left hand wire end to the left pin. Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: 1. Open the connector and place the wire in the connector grip. 3.7 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find its way back to the charging station but also to guide the robotic lawnmower to remote areas of the garden. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary and guide wires. The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to or buried in the ground. 362 - 002 - 06.02.2018 Installation - 19
