Possible Causes

Partial break or high resistance in boundary wire, Poor quality splices, Boundary wire too long or incorrect gauge, External electromagnetic interference

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the charging station from mains before working on the boundary wire.

  • Inspect splices: Locate all splices in the boundary wire and ensure they are made with proper LandXcape waterproof connectors. Redo any twisted or taped joints.
  • Measure resistance: Use a multimeter to measure loop resistance. High resistance indicates thin wire, long runs, or poor connections.
  • Shorten loop (test): Temporarily create a smaller loop near the base to see if the LED returns to normal. If so, the issue is in the extended section of wire.
  • Reduce interference: Reroute the wire away from metal fences, buried power lines, or other robotic mower wires.
  • Upgrade wire: If the installation is very large, consider using a thicker gauge boundary wire compatible with LandXcape systems.
