How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the charging station from mains before touching the boundary wire.

  • Inspect all splices: Locate every connector in the boundary loop and remake any that show corrosion using new waterproof Hecht Boundary Wire Connectors.
  • Shorten loop if possible: Remove unnecessary detours or loops to reduce total wire length.
  • Use wire tester (if available): A boundary wire tester can help locate high‑resistance sections.
