1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1. Introduction and safety 1.1 Introduction Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high quality product. To get the best results from your Husqvarna robotic lawnmower requires knowledge of its function. This operator's manual contains important information about the robotic lawnmower, how it must be installed and how to use it. As a complement to this Operator's Manual, there is more information available on the Automower® website, www.automower.com.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY IMPORTANT INFORMATION This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.2 Symbols on the product These symbols can be found on the robotic lawnmower. Study them carefully. • • Please read the Operator’s Manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the robotic lawnmower. The warnings and safety instructions in this Operator’s Manual must be carefully followed if the robotic lawnmower is to be used safely and efficiently.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY • The low voltage cable must not be shortened, extended or spliced. • Do not use a trimmer nearby the low voltage cable. Be careful when trimming edges where the cables are placed. 3012-1351 1.3 Symbols in the Operator’s Manual These symbols can be found in the Operator’s Manual. Study them carefully. • Turn the main switch to 0 before carrying out any inspections and/or maintenance. • Always wear protective gloves when working with the robotic lawnmower’s chassis.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.4 Safety Instructions Use • This robotic lawnmower is designed to mow grass in open and level ground areas. It may only be used with the equipment recommended by the manufacturer. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s instructions with regard to operation, maintenance and repair must be followed precisely. • Use the HOME function or switch off the main switch on the robotic lawnmower when persons, especially children, or pets, are in the cutting area.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY • Do not use the robotic lawnmower if the main switch does not work. • Always switch off the robotic lawnmower using the main switch when not in use. The robotic lawnmower can only start when the main switch is set to 1 and the correct PIN code has been entered. • The robotic lawnmower must never be used at the same time as a sprinkler. In this case use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 46) so the robotic lawnmower and sprinkler never run simultaneously.
1. INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY Transport The original packaging should be used when transporting the robotic lawnmower over long distances. To safely move from or within the working area: 1. Press the STOP button to stop the robotic lawnmower. If security is set to the medium or high level (see 6.5 Security on page 52), the PIN code has to be entered. The PIN code contains four digits and is selected when you start the robotic lawnmower for the first time. See 3.8 First start-up and calibration on page35. 2.
2. PRESENTATION 2. Presentation This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation. Installing a Husqvarna robotic lawnmower involves four main components: • A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern. The robotic lawnmower is powered by a maintenance-free battery. • Charging station, where your robotic lawnmower returns when the charge level in the battery becomes too low.

2. PRESENTATION 2.2 Package Contents Your Automower® package contains the following details.
2. PRESENTATION 2.3 Function Capacity The robotic lawnmower is recommended for lawns up to 600 m2. How big an area the robotic lawnmower can keep cut depends primarily on the condition of the blades and the type, growth and moisture of the grass. The shape of the garden is also significant. If the garden mainly consists of open lawns, the robotic lawnmower can mow more in one hour than if the garden consists of several small lawns separated by trees, flower beds and passages.
2. PRESENTATION Working method The robotic lawnmower automatically mows the lawn. It continuously alternates between mowing and charging. The robotic lawnmower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low. The robotic lawnmower does not mow when it is searching for the charging station. When the robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station, it first searches irregularly for the guide wire.
2. PRESENTATION The control panel on the top of the robotic lawnmower is where you manage all the robotic lawnmower settings. Open the control panel cover by pressing down the STOP button. When the main switch is set to position 1 for the first time, a start-up sequence begins which includes language selection, time format, date format and the four-digit PIN code and setting the time and date. See 3.8 First start-up and calibration on page 35.
3. INSTALLATION 3. Installation This chapter describes how to install the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower. Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation. Read also through this entire chapter before beginning the installation. How the installation is done also affects how well the robotic lawnmower works. It is therefore important to plan the installation carefully. Planning is simplified if you make a sketch of the working area, including all obstacles.
3. INSTALLATION • Low voltage cable (26) • Pegs (19) • Connector for connecting the loop wire to the charging station (18) • Screws for the charging station (21) • Measurement gauge (26) • Couplers for the loop wire (20) During installation you will also need: • Hammer/plastic mallet (to simplify putting the pegs in the ground). • Combination pliers for cutting the boundary wire and pressing the connectors together. • Polygrip (for pressing the couplers together).
3. INSTALLATION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free space in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should also be centrally placed in the working area to make it easier for the robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the working area. 3012-931 Do not put the charging station in confined spaces in the working area. There must be a straight boundary wire, at least 1.5 metres long, to the right and left of the charging station.
3. INSTALLATION If the installation is done in a working area with a steep slope (such as around a house on a hill), the charging station should be placed in the area at the bottom of the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire to the charging station. 3018-059 The charging station should not be placed on an island as this limits the laying of the guide wire in an optimal way.
3. INSTALLATION It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working area. The low voltage cable must be stapled down or buried, and the cutting height should be such that the blades on the blade disc can never come in contact with the low voltage cable. Make sure the low voltage cable is laid along the ground and secured with pegs. The cable must lie close to the ground so as not to be cut before the grass roots have grown over it.
3. INSTALLATION Installation and connecting the charging station 1. Position the charging station in a suitable spot. 2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging station. 3. Connect the power supply’s power cable to a 100-240 V wall socket. If the wall socket is outdoors, it is important that the power supply is protected from direct sunlight. 4. Attach the charging station to the ground using the supplied screws. Ensure the screws are screwed all the way down in the countersink.
3. INSTALLATION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: 1. Securing the wire to the ground with pegs. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the first few weeks of operation. After a few weeks the grass will have grown over the wire making it no longer visible. Use a hammer/plastic mallet and the pegs supplied when carrying out the installation. 2. Bury the wire.
3. INSTALLATION Working area boundaries If a high obstacle (5 cm or more) for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 30 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear. About 20 cm around the fixed obstacle will not be mown.
3. INSTALLATION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example, flowerbeds, bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the area to be demarcated, and then return it back along the same route. If pegs are used, the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route.
3. INSTALLATION Slopes The boundary wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 15%. 3012-946 The boundary wire should not be laid across a slope that is steeper than 15%. There is a risk that the robotic lawnmower will find it difficult to turn there. The robotic lawnmower will then stop and the Outside working area fault message is displayed.
3. INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire If you intend to staple down the boundary wire: • Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid. It will then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and the risk of the robotic lawnmower cutting the wire or damaging the insulation of the wire is reduced. • Make sure to lay the boundary wire close to the ground and secure the pegs close together approximately 75 cm apart.
3. INSTALLATION Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station The boundary wire must be laid in line with the rear end of the charging station and at least 1.5 metres straight out to the right and left of the station. See the illustration. If the boundary wire is laid in any other way, the robotic lawnmower may find it hard to find the charging station. 3018-072 Splicing the boundary wire Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced.
3. INSTALLATION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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. 1. Place the wire ends in the connector: • Open the connector. • Place the wire in the connector grip. 2. 3012-284 Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
3. INSTALLATION 3.6 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary loop. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary loop and 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 hard-to reach areas of the garden.
3. INSTALLATION Laying and connecting the guide wire 1. Run the wire through the slot in the bottom of the charger plate. 3012-997 2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire described in 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire. Connect it to the contact pin on the charging station that is labelled 'Guide'. 3012-995 3. Run the wire at least 2 metres straight out from the front edge of the plate.
3. INSTALLATION • In the passage, the guide wire must therefore be placed so that the robotic lawnmower has as much space to run in as possible. The distance between the boundary loop and the guide wire must however be at least 30 cm. Maximum distance At least 30 cm At least 2 m 3012-951 If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on the slope.
3. INSTALLATION 6. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using a coupler: Insert the boundary wire in each of the holes in the coupler. Insert the guide wire in the centre hole 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. 3012-954 Use a polygrip to completely press down the button on the coupler. It does not matter which holes are used to connect each wire. 7.
3. INSTALLATION 3.8 First start-up and calibration Before the robotic lawnmower is operated, a start-up sequence in the robotic lawnmower's menu must be carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the guide signal. The calibration is also a good test to see that the installation of the guide wire has been done in such a way that the robotic lawnmower can easily follow the guide wire from the charging station. 1. Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button. 2.
3. INSTALLATION 3.9 Test docking with the charging station Before using the robotic lawnmower, check that the robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire all the way to the charging station and easily docks with the charging station. Perform the test below. 1. Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button. 2. Place the robotic lawnmower close to the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire.
4. USE 4. Use 4.1 Charging a flat battery When the robotic lawnmower is new or has been stored for a long period, the battery will be flat and needs to be charged before starting. Charging takes approximately 80 to 100 minutes. 1. Set the main switch to position 1. 3012-939 2. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station. Open the cover and push the robotic lawnmower in as far as possible to ensure proper contact between the robotic lawnmower and the charging station. 3.
4. USE 4.2 Using the timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer on page 46.) to avoid a downtrodden lawn. When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about 43 m2 per hour and day. Example If the working area is 360 m2 the robotic lawnmower must operate for about 9 hours per day. The times are approximate and depend for instance on grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
4. USE Example 2 Work period 1: 08:00 - 16:00 Work period 2: 20:00 - 23:00 Work days: All days The robotic lawnmower will operate for the times specified in the work periods as the total operating time is 11 hours and does not exceed the maximum of 14 hours. Automower® 105 Max. operating time 14 h Min. standby time 10 h Area/hour/day 43 m2 The times are approximate and depend for instance on grass quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
4. USE 4.5 Switching off 1. Press the STOP button. 2. Set the main switch in position 0. Always switch the robotic lawnmower off using the main switch if it requires maintenance or if the robotic lawnmower must be moved outside the working area. 4.6 Adjusting the cutting height 3012-1023 The cutting height can be varied from MIN (2 cm) to MAX (5 cm). During the first week after a new installation, the cutting height must be set to MAX to avoid damaging the loop wire.
5. CONTROL PANEL 5. Control panel All forms of commands and settings for the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. 3012-929 The control panel consists of a display and a keypad. All information is shown on the display and all input is done using the buttons.
5. CONTROL PANEL 5.1 Operation selection The operation selection button is symbolised by a house. When the button has been pressed, the selected operation mode is shown in the display. By consecutively pressing the button many times, one can choose between three different operation modes. 1. HOME: Sends the robotic lawnmower to the charging station. It remains here until another operation mode is selected. The text HOME is shown in the operation window.
5. CONTROL PANEL 5.2 Multi-choice buttons The three multi-choice buttons offer various functions, among others depending on where in the menu structure you are. The button function is shown at the very bottom of the display. Example: If you are in the main menu, the left button can be used to go back, the middle button confirms any selections and the right button helps you to scroll the menu. 3012-985 5.3 Numbers The number keys are used for instance to enter the PIN code or time settings. 5.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS 6. Menu functions 6.1 Main menu The main menu consists of four options: • Timer • Installation • Security • Settings There are a number of submenus under each option. You can access all the functions to set the robotic lawnmower settings via these. 3012-987 Browse between menus Browse the main menu and submenus using the multi-choice buttons.

6. MENU FUNCTIONS 6.3 Timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Consequently, it is important to limit the operating time using the timer function if the working area is less than the robotic lawnmower's working capacity. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to unnecessary wear.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS • Work hours 1 to set start and stop times for work hours 1. Enter each required time in hours and minutes and press OK to confirm the entered time. • Work hours 2: to set start and stop times for work hours 2. Enter each required time in hours and minutes and press OK to confirm the entered time. • • Work days to select the days the robotic lawnmower must work. The robotic lawnmower will work during the days that are ticked off.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS 6.4 Installation The following operating settings are available via this selection in the main menu. • • Guide width to select the distance from the guide wire the mower is allowed to travel when it follows this to and from the charging station. Remote start 1 to control the robotic lawnmower so that it can easier reach remote parts of the garden. • Remote start 2 to control the robotic lawnmower so that it can easier reach remote parts of the garden.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Wide In a wide corridor, the robotic lawnmower mows at more varied distances from the guide wire. A garden that is open and free of narrow passages should have a wide corridor to minimise the risk of tracks forming. Medium In a medium wide corridor, the robotic lawnmower travels close to and far away from the guide wire, but not as far away from the guide wire as is the case when a wide corridor is selected.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS • The following five options can be selected; - Never (0%) - Rarely (approx. 20%) - Medium (approx. 50%) - Often (approx. 80%) - Always (100%) Select the percentage that corresponds to the size of the remote area relative to the total working area. If the remote area is for instance less than half of the total working area, then Rarely must be selected. If the remote area is for instance half of the total working area, Medium must be selected. Compare with the examples in 7.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Test OUT The function is used to test exit settings and to calculate the distance from the charging station to a remote area. Test IN To test the settings in Remote start 1: Test OUT Dock the robotic lawnmower in the charging station and select Test OUT . The mower will then leave the charging station straight away along the guide wire and begin mowing after the designated distance.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Drive past wire The front of the mower always passes the boundary wire by a specific distance before the mower turns. The default distance is 25 cm, but this can be changed if required. The minimum value is 25 cm and the maximum value is 30 cm. Note that the distance given is only an approximate value and should be regarded as a guide. In reality, the actual distance the robotic mower passes the boundary wire can vary.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS Time lock This function means that the robotic lawnmower cannot be started after 30 days without first entering the correct PIN code. When the 30 days has passed the robotic lawnmower will continue to mow as normal, but the Enter PIN code message appears when the cover is opened. Enter your code again and press OK. PIN request This function means that the mower requests a PIN code when the main switch is set to 1 and each time the cover is opened.
6. MENU FUNCTIONS 6.6 Settings This selection allows you to carry out changes to the robotic lawnmower's general settings. ECO mode This function automatically turns off the loop signal in the boundary wire, the guide wire and the charging station when the robotic lawnmower is not mowing. That is to say when the robotic lawnmower is charging or is not allowed to mow due to timer settings. ECO is suitable to use where there is other wireless equipment not compatible with the robotic lawnmower e.g.

7. GARDEN EXAMPLES 7. Garden examples - Installation proposals and settings The mower's behaviour is controlled to a certain extent by what settings are made. Adapting the mower’s garden settings according to the shape of the garden makes it easier for the mower to frequently reach all parts of the garden and in doing so achieve a perfect mowing result. Different gardens require different settings. The following pages outline a number of examples of gardens with installation proposals and settings.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES Installation proposals and settings Area 600 m2. A number of islands and a 25% slope. Timer 07:00-23:00 (factory setting) Monday-Sunday Proportion Rarely (factory setting) Guide width Medium Remarks Place the charging station in the lower part of the working area. Lay the guide wire at an angle over the steep slope. Area 200 m2. L-shaped garden with charging station installed in the narrow area. Contains a couple of islands.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES Installation proposals and settings Area 250 m2. U-shaped garden linked with a narrow passage. Timer 07:00 - 16:00 Monday - Friday Proportion Medium Guide width Medium 1.5 m Remarks The guide wire must be placed along the narrow passage to ensure the mower can with ease locate the charging station from the left hand side of the working area. The Proportion Medium is selected as the left hand area is nearly half of the total area. Medium. Area 150 m2.
7. GARDEN EXAMPLES Installation proposals and settings Area 400 m2. Three areas linked with two narrow passages. Timer 07:00-23:00 (factory setting) Monday - Friday Proportion Remote start 1 Rarely Proportion Remote start 2 Rarely 3018-064 Guide width Medium Remarks As the working area contains three areas linked by two narrow passages, Remote start 1 and Remote start 2 must be used to obtain an even mowing result across the entire working area. Area 200 m2 + 50 m2 in a secondary area.
8. MAINTENANCE 8. Maintenance Check and clean the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to improved operating reliability and to ensure a longer service life. For more information on cleaning, see 8.4 Cleaning on page 62. When the robotic lawnmower is first used, the blade disc and blades should be inspected once a week. If the amount of wear during this period has been low, the inspection interval can be increased. It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
8. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT INFORMATION The battery must be charged fully before winter storage. If the battery is not fully charged it can be damaged and in certain cases be rendered useless. Charging station Store the charging station and power supply indoors. The boundary wire and the guide wire can be left in the ground. The ends of the wires should be protected from damp by putting them in a container with grease for instance.
8. MAINTENANCE 8.4 Cleaning It is important to keep the robotic lawnmower clean. A mower with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a brush. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the robotic lawnmower. Never use solvents for cleaning. 3018-062 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Working with dull blades gives a poorer mowing result.
8. MAINTENANCE Chassis Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with a damp cloth. Wheels Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as well as the rear wheel bracket. Body Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body. If the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up liquid. Charging station Clean the charging station regularly from grass, leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede docking. 8.
8. MAINTENANCE 8.7 Blades WARNING Always use original blades and screws when replacing. Only replacing the blades and reusing the screw can result in a screw wearing during mowing and shearing. The blades can then be propelled from under the body and cause serious injury. There are three blades on the robotic lawnmower, which are screwed into the blade disc. All three blades and screws must be replaced at the same time to obtain a balanced mowing system. Use Husqvarna genuine blades only.
8. MAINTENANCE 8.8 Battery The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited life span of 2 to 4 years. Battery life is dependent on the length of the season and how many hours a day the robotic lawnmower is used. A long season or many hours of use per day means that the battery must be replaced more regulary. Only charge the battery in the included charging station. Always use the original power supply unit.
8. MAINTENANCE Replacing the battery If the operating times for the mower are shorter than normal between charges, this indicates that the battery is getting old and eventually needs replacing. The battery is fine as long as the mower maintains a well-cut lawn. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Only use Husqvarna Group AB original batteries. Compatibility with other batteries cannot be guaranteed. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains when removing the battery. 1.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9. Troubleshooting In this chapter, a number of messages are listed which may be shown in the display if there is a malfunction. There is a proposal as to the cause and steps to take for each message. This chapter also presents some symptoms that can guide you if the mower does not work as expected. More suggestions for steps to take in the event of malfunction or symptoms can be found on www.automower.com. 9.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Message Cause Action Trapped The robotic lawnmower has got caught in something. Free the robotic lawnmower and rectify the reason for it becoming trapped. The robotic lawnmower is stuck behind a number of obstacles. Check if there are any obstacles which make it hard for the robotic lawnmower to move on from this location. The boundary wire connections to the charging station are crossed. Check that the boundary wire is connected correctly.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Message Cause Action Wheel motor overloaded, right Wheel motor overloaded, left The robotic lawnmower has got caught in something. Free the mower and rectify the reason for the lack of drive. If it is due to wet grass, wait until the lawn has dried before using the mower. No drive The robotic lawnmower has got caught in something. Free the mower and rectify the reason for the lack of drive. If it is due to wet grass, wait until the lawn has dried before using the mower.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Message Cause Action Collision sensor problem, front/rear Mower body cannot move freely around its chassis. Check that the mower body can move freely around its chassis. Wheel drive problem, right/left Grass or other object is wrapped around the drive wheel. Clean the wheels and around the wheels. Alarm! Mower switched off The alarm was activated because the mower was switched OFF. Adjust the mower security level in the Security menu.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9.2 Indicator lamp in the charging station For a fully functional installation, the indicator lamp in the charging station must emit a solid green light. If something else appears, follow the troubleshooting guide below. There is more troubleshooting help on www.automower.com. If you still need help with troubleshooting, please contact the local dealer.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9.3 Symptoms If your Automower® does not work as expected, follow the troubleshooting guide below. There is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on www.automower.com which provides more detailed answers to a number of standard questions. It you still cannot find the reason for the fault, contact the local dealer.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptoms Cause Action The robotic lawnmower vibrates Damaged blades lead to imbalance in the cutting system. Inspect the blades and screws and replace them if necessary. See 8.7 Blades on page 64. Many blades in the same position lead to imbalance in the cutting system. Check that only one blade is fitted at each screw. The robotic lawnmower runs, but the blade disc does not rotate The robotic lawnmower searches for the charging station.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 9.4 Finding breaks in the loop wire Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of unconscious physical damage to the wire 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 the high tension in the wire during installation. Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can damage wire insulation.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 3. Connect the charging station to the power supply. Switch the connections between the guide wire and the boundary wire in the charging station. a) Switch connection AL and Guide. If the indicator lamp flashes yellow, then the break is somewhere on the boundary wire between AL and the point where the guide wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black line in the illustration). Guide 3018-050 b) Put AL and Guide back in their original positions. Then switch AR and Guide.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 4. a) Assume that the indicator lamp flashed yellow in test a) above. Reset all connections to their original positions. Then disconnect AR. Connect a new loop wire to AR. Connect the other end of this new loop wire somewhere at the centre of the installation. If the indicator lamp is green or flashing yellow, then the break is somewhere in the wire between the disconnected end to the point where the new wire is connected (thick black line in the illustration below).
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 5. When the break is found, the damaged section must be replaced with a new wire. The damaged section can be cut out if it is possible to shorten the boundary wire. Always use original couplers.
