Possible Causes
Boundary wire laid too close to metal objects, Boundary wire loop too long or with poor joints, Corroded boundary wire connectors, Faulty charging station loop output
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch OFF the mower and unplug the charging station before adjusting the boundary system.
- Check for nearby metal: Look for metal edging, rebar, metal drainage grates, or buried cables running parallel to the boundary wire. Move the wire 10–20 cm away from such objects.
- Shorten or simplify the loop: If you have long narrow corridors or many islands/exclusions, temporarily simplify the layout to see if the error clears. Excessive loop length or complex routing can weaken the signal.
- Inspect all connectors: Replace any green/white gel connectors that look damaged, corroded, or waterlogged. Poor joints can attenuate the signal.
- Check wire depth: Ensure the boundary wire is pegged close to the surface (or buried shallow as per Flymo instructions). Very deep burial can weaken detection.
- Test station output: With the wire disconnected, some models allow a loop test mode. If the LED still indicates a fault, the charging station electronics may be failing.
If relocating the wire and renewing connectors does not resolve the issue, the charging station assembly may need replacement.
