●

Corridors and secondary areas

For automatic mowing, join all parts of
the mowing area by means of

corridors

. (

11.10)

If there is insufficient space to do so,

secondary areas

must be

installed. (

11.9)

●

Observe the specified

clearances

(

11.5):

for obstacles that can be travelled on
(e.g. paths) when routing the perimeter
wire:

0 cm

for corridors:

22 cm

for high obstacles (e.g. walls, trees):

22 cm

minimum wire clearance in confined
areas:

44 cm

or water features and potential sudden
drops (edges, steps):

100 cm

●

Corners

Avoid routing at acute angles (less than
90°).

●

Reserve wire

Reserve wire should be installed at
several points to make it easier to
subsequently change the routing of the
perimeter wire. (

11.13)

11.2 Making a sketch of the
mowing area

During installation of the robotic
mower and the docking station, it is
recommendable to make a sketch of the
mowing area. A page has been provided at
the start of this Instruction Manual for this
purpose.
The sketch should be modified in the event
of subsequent changes.

Content of the sketch:

–

Contour of the mowing area

including

important obstacles, borders and any
no-go areas which the robotic mower
must not mow. (

26.)

– Position of the

docking station

(

9.4)

– Position of

perimeter wire

After a short while, the perimeter wire is
overgrown and is no longer visible.
Make a note of the routing of the wire
around obstacles in particular. (

9.5)

– Position of the

wire connectors

After a short while, the wire connectors
used are no longer visible. Their
position should be noted in order to
replace them as required. (

11.14)

11.3 Routing the perimeter wire

●

Install the docking station. (

9.4)

●

Starting at the docking station (

11.8),

route the perimeter wire around the
mowing area and any obstacles,
fastening it to the ground using fixing
pins. Check the clearances using the
iRuler. (

11.5)

Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (

9.5)

●

Connect the perimeter wire. (

11.4)

11.4 Connecting the perimeter wire

●

Disconnect the mains plug
and then remove the docking
station cover.

●

Insert the perimeter wire into the cable
guides of the floor plate, guide it
through the socket, attach the
connector and connect to the docking
station.
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (

9.)

●

Install the docking station
cover and then connect the
mains plug.

●

Check the wire signal. (

9.7)

●

Check docking. (

9.7)

If necessary, correct the position of the
perimeter wire in the area of the
docking station.

11.5 Wire clearances – use iRuler

The perimeter wire (1) can be routed

without clearance

along obstacles that

can be travelled on such as patios and
paths. The robotic mower then travels with
one rear wheel outside the mowing area.
Maximum height difference between lawn
area and obstacle: 2 cm

Coiled up residual pieces of
perimeter wire can cause
malfunctions and must be removed.

Only use original fixing pins and
original perimeter wire.

The routing direction (clockwise or
anti-clockwise) is freely selectable
according to requirements.

Never pull out fixing pins using the
perimeter wire – always use a
suitable tool (e.g universal pliers).

Make a sketch of the perimeter wire
routing. (
