One Field With Station Loop
At Point A, the robot begins a return to the charging
station. It moves to the peripheral wire then follows
the trackborder until it reaches the intersection of the
peripheral and station loop wires (Point B). Then it
follows the station loop wire until it docks at the
charging station.
Two Fields With Station Loop
At Point A, the robot returns to the charging station. It
moves towards the Field 2 peripheral wire and follows
the Field 2 trackborder until it reaches Point B. This is
the area where both fields overlap. It then follows the
Field 1 trackborder until it reaches Point C. This is
where the Field 1 peripheral wire and station loop wire
overlap. Next, the robot follows the station loop wire
until it docks at the charging station.
5.1.3 Charge Mode
In Charge Mode the robot will dock and remain in the
charging station until the battery is fully charged.
The next operations that will be performed depend on
programming and external conditions.
The robot will remain at the charging station if:
•
rest periods have been scheduled
•
it has been programmed to stay in the station
•
the temperature is too low
Otherwise, it will continue with the scheduled mowing
program.
The robot will remain at the charging station once the
battery has been charged until:
•
the normal program needs to commence
•
a specific command is issued
