Quick answer
If your robot mower boundary wire becomes damaged or breaks, it can usually be repaired using the waterproof connector supplied with your mower.
Repairing the boundary wire will restore the connection and allow your robot mower to detect the mowing area correctly.
Before you begin
Before repairing the boundary wire:
- Switch off the robot mower
- Disconnect the charging station from the power supply
- Locate the damaged section of boundary wire
- Have the supplied waterproof connector available
- Make sure the wire ends are clean and accessible
Steps
1. Locate the damaged section of boundary wire
Find the point where the boundary wire has broken or become damaged.
Check the entire wire route if you cannot see an obvious break, as a damaged connection can prevent the robot mower from working correctly.
2. Prepare the wire ends
Before connecting the repair connector:
- Cut away any damaged sections of wire if required.
- Strip approximately 10-15mm of insulation from both wire ends.
- Make sure enough exposed wire is visible to create a secure connection.
If there is not enough exposed wire, use suitable wire strippers to remove additional insulation.
3. Insert the wires into the connector
Insert both ends of the boundary wire into the waterproof connector.
- The wires can be inserted into either side of the connector.
- The order of the wires does not matter.
- Make sure both wires are fully inserted into the connector.
The repair connector will join the two sections of wire and restore the boundary circuit.
4. Secure the connector
Using pliers or a similar tool:
- Place the tool over the top of the connector.
- Apply pressure to close the connector.
- Ensure the connector is fully sealed.
The connector is waterproof and designed to protect the repaired connection from outdoor conditions.
5. Test the robot mower
Once the repair is complete:
- Reconnect the charging station to the power supply.
- Check the charging station indicator light.
- Confirm the boundary wire signal has been restored.
- Test the robot mower operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my boundary wire is broken?
A broken boundary wire may cause your robot mower to stop working correctly or the charging station indicator light may show a warning.
Can I repair the boundary wire without replacing the whole wire?
Yes. A damaged section of boundary wire can normally be repaired using the waterproof connector supplied with your robot mower.
Which way should the wires go into the repair connector?
The wires can be inserted from either side of the connector. The direction does not matter as long as both wires are securely inserted.
Do I need to strip the boundary wire before repairing it?
Yes. Approximately 10-15mm of exposed wire is required to create a secure connection inside the connector.
Is the repaired boundary wire waterproof?
