Possible Causes

Boundary wire buried too deep or too shallow, Strong electromagnetic interference from nearby power cables, Metal reinforcement near lawn edges, Weak boundary transmitter signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the charging station before modifying the boundary wire.

  • Check wire depth: Ensure the boundary wire is laid at the depth recommended by Parkside (usually on the surface or shallowly pegged, not deeply buried).
  • Move away from interference: If the wire runs parallel to mains cables, metal fences, or steel edging, move it further away if possible.
  • Check base output: Verify the base LED indicates a strong loop signal. If weak, the transmitter board may be failing.
  • Reduce loops and spurs: Avoid unnecessary loops or long spurs of wire that can confuse the mower.

When to replace: Replace the charging station boundary transmitter if the signal is weak despite a good wire layout.
