Detecting and Repairing a Cable Break on a Robotic Lawn Mower

A cable break is one of the most common reasons why your robotic lawn mower suddenly stops working. In this article, we'll show you step-by-step how to find and fix the fault yourself.

1. Symptoms of a Cable Break

If your robot can no longer find the mowing area or reach the charging station, this is often due to the boundary wire.

2. Locating a Cable Break

Use a cable connector kit or a signal device to find the break point.

3. Repairing the Cable

Cut out the defective section, connect both ends with a waterproof connector, and test the connection again.

Tip: By using high-quality copper boundary wires, you can prevent many breaks from the start.
