Chapter 1 - Base Station & Perimeter Wire Setup
1.1 Preparations
Read carefully the Operating and Safety Manual prior to setup.
It is recommended to mow your lawn using a conventional lawn mower and water the ground
before starting the setup for easier driving of the pegs.
Confirm all parts for the setup are included (refer to ‘What’s in the Box’ page 10).
During the setup you will also need the following tools:
Small flat and
Philips screwdrivers
Combination
Pliers
Hammer
Fi
Tools required for the setup
1.2 Planning The Setup
IMORTANT INFORMATION! Before starting the setup, it is necessary to first
read this chapter in order to be aware of all setup rules and instructions so you are
able to determine the best location for the Base Station and the perimeter wire layout.
1.2.1 Base Station Location
Set it in the biggest plot or zone;
It should be placed along the outer edge (if setup on the lawn area) or outside the lawn (refer
to paragraph 1.3.2 for external setup of the Base Station);
In the back yard, where it is not visible to the street;
In a shady spot (better for a longer battery lifetime);
On a relatively level ground;
Close to a wall socket (230V / 120V) – the length of the low voltage cable is 15m (50ft)
(Note: the length of the low voltage cable must not be changed).
