Segway Boundary Tracking or Detection Misconfiguration

Mower leaves the lawn area and crosses paths, driveways, or flower beds despite boundary wire installation.

Possible Causes

Boundary wire laid too shallow or too deep, Incorrect boundary distance from edges, Boundary wire loops or crossings too close, Weak boundary signal at the far end.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the mower and unplug the charging station before adjusting the boundary wire.

  • Verify installation distances: Measure the distance from the boundary wire to the lawn edge and obstacles. Adjust to Segway’s specified distances.
  • Check for loops and crossings: Ensure that any guide wires or secondary loops are installed according to the manual and do not run too closely in parallel.
  • Adjust wire depth: If the wire is buried, confirm it is at the recommended depth. If it's too deep, detection can be weakened; if too shallow, it can be easily damaged.
  • Strength test: If available, use the mower’s boundary test mode to verify signal strength around the perimeter.
