5.5.1 Docking Options
General comment:
There is no need to change the settings under the ‘Docking Options’,
unless there is an exception case, which prevent the mower to works normally. These options
appeared in the menu as a backup only.
5.5.1.1 Edge to Dock
The ‘Edge to dock’ enable the mower to complete the edge operation from the
Charging Station back to the Charging Station without any condition, otherwise there
are few events that may cause the mower to leave the edge, such as distance limit or
number of turns to the right or to the left.
If the mower doesn’t complete the edge in ‘Dock zone’, first perform ‘Edge
termination test’ (refer to section 5.4.8) and based on the test result, decide about the
next step to be done.
5.5.1.2 Docking search vlt.
Option to increase the ‘Searching dock’ threshold voltage to 22.5 or 23.0 (the default
is 22.0) in case, which the mower doesn't succeed to drive back to the Charging
Station because of low battery voltage.
5.5.1.3 Dock bumper
Changing this option to 'off' will change the bumper behavior so it will make bypass in
every bumper event during 'Edge' mode and will not push against obstacle.
Note:
Setting this option to ‘off’ may prevent the mower to enter the Charging Station
in case, which bumper is detected as the mower enter to the Charging Station.
5.5.1.4 Islands
Setting this option to ‘off’ allow the mower to acquire the Perimeter Wire immediately
as starting to search for the Charging Station with no need to converge to the end of
the lawn.
5.5.2 Small Wheels
It is an option to set the size of the drive wheels being used on the Robomow. The default
settings are:
- RL350/550: Small wheels set to ‘on’.
- RL850/1000: Small wheels set to ‘off’
This setting is used when changing the drive wheel size on the Robomow. If this setting is not
correct for the wheel size, the mower will not navigate properly and will likely not drive in
straight lines.
5.5.3 Enable DK
Enable DK is a feature that is helpful when operating the mower in an area where magnetic
interference is suspected in a certain lawn or when the Robomow is operated indoors, i.e. at an
exhibition.
Indoors exhibitions are typically on concrete floors that contain a great deal of metals. This
large amount of metal will skew the magnetic field causing the mower to run in curved lines
rather than straight lines. Turning the ‘Enable DK’ feature off will allow the mower to
navigate solely on wheel rotation measurement, thereby not using the magnetic field of the
earth. This will allow for straight lines in a show environment. The default of this feature is
always on.
