Possible Causes

Boundary wire installed too low or too deep, Wire broken and re‑radiating signal, Station or loop polarity incorrect, Strong external magnetic fields

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check wire depth: Ensure the boundary wire is laid on the surface or shallowly buried (as per Stiga spec). Deep burial weakens the signal.
  • Verify connections: Confirm the boundary wire ends are connected to the correct terminals on the station and that there are no unauthorized splices.
  • Inspect for hidden breaks: Use a loop tester or AM radio to detect weak spots or breaks that may cause strange field patterns.
  • Re‑lay critical sections: In areas where the mower escapes, re‑lay the wire closer to the edge and avoid running it parallel to power cables.
