9. TROUBLE SHOOTING
9.4 Finding breaks in the loop wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unconscious physical damage to the cable such as
when gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground
frost, even sharp stones that move in the ground can
damage the wire. Breaks can also be due to too much
tension in the wire during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage cable insulation. Certain damage to the
insulation may not cause disruptions until several
weeks or months later. To avoid this, always select the
maximum cutting height the first weeks after
installation and then lower the height one step at a time
every second week until the desired cutting height has
been reached.
A defective splice of the loop cable can also lead to
disruptions during the first several weeks after the
splice was made. A faulty splice can, for example, be
the result of the original connector not being pressed
together hard enough with a pair of pliers, or a
connector of lower quality than the original connector
has been used. Please first check all known splices
before further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the
distance of the loop where the break may have
occurred until there is only a very short section of the
wire left.
1. Make sure the indicator light in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break in
the boundary loop. See 9.2 Indicator light on the
charging station on page 61.
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the
charging station are properly connected and not
damaged. Check that the indicator light in the
charging station is still flashing blue.
