Example for using the advanced program (Figure 2.6)
-
The lawn in figure 2.6 has two areas with narrow pass between them;
-
The large area is 250m² where the small area is 50m², thus different work times are required to
each of the areas;
-
The mower cannot cross between the areas while working inside the lawn, but only when following
the perimeter wire, thus an additional entry point is required to start the operation in the smaller
area of 50m² (to set entry points refer to paragraph 2.1.1.2);
-
Robomow mows about 130m² per full operation, thus 2 operations are required to mow the bigger
area and one operation of 1:30 hours is enough to cover the smaller area;
-
The table in figure 2.6 shows an example of advanced weekly program for the given lawn:
•
On Monday and Tuesday, Robomow mows the large area of 250m² (entry point is the Base
Station); it starts at 13:00 for ‘
MAX
’ operating time, where on Monday it mows the edge before
entering to mow the inner area (Mode: E+M, means edge + mowing of the inner area);
•
On Wednesday, Robomow mows the small area of 50m² (entry point is Entry 1); It starts at
15:30 for 1:30 hours; Robomow follows the wire towards entry point 1 without mowing the edge,
as the edge was mowed on Monday (there is no need to mow the edge more than twice a
week);

Advanced weekly program
•
Thursday to Saturday contain the same mowing cycle as defined on Monday to Wednesday in
order to mow all the area twice a week, which is required during the fast growing season.
