1.6 Testing the Base Station and Perimeter Wire Position
It is required to test the position of the Base Station and the Perimeter Wire to determine if any
small adjustments need to be made.
Position the Robomow
inside
the lawn towards the perimeter wire, at least 2 meters from the
Base Station (figure 1.31) and press the ‘GO’ button.
In a case you forgot to connect the Power Supply to a regular household receptacle 230 Volts
(120V), ‘
No wire signal’
message will be displayed on the LCD upon pressing GO, reminding
you to connect the Power Supply (Figure 1.32).
In a case you connected the Perimeter Wire in the opposite direction, ‘
Change wires in plot
connector’
message will be displayed upon pressing GO, instructing you to switch between the
two wires connected to the Plot connector (Figure 1.33).
