3.16.1.7 How to measure the distance to a remote area
1. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
2. In the
Area 1, 2 or 3 > How far? menu function, enter
a distance which beyond any doubt exceeds the real
figure. The maximum distance that can be entered is
500 metres.
3. Select
Area 1, 2 or 3 > More > Test and press OK.
4. Press START and close the hatch.
5. Press STOP at the required position. The distance is
now shown in the display. This figure can now be
saved in
Area 1, 2 or 3 > How far?.
3.16.1.8 Area 1, 2 or 3 > More > Reset
An individual area setting can be reset to the factory
setting using this function. To reset an area setting,
select
Area 1, 2 or 3 > More > Reset using the left right
arrow keys followed by OK.
3.16.2 Advanced
Under the
Advanced heading, there are more settings
relating to the behaviour of the robotic lawnmower. The
settings in this menu are only required if additional
control of the lawnmower is needed e.g. in complex
gardens. The factory settings are selected in a way that
should suit most working areas.

3.16.2.1 Corridor width
The corridor width is a measure of how far from the
guide wire/boundary wire the robotic lawnmower is
allowed to travel when it follows this to and from the
charging station. The area beside the wire which the
robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor.
The aim of operating at varying distances from the wire
is to reduce the risk of tracks forming. Therefore it is
recommended to select the widest corridor possible
allowed by the size of the working area.
The robotic lawnmower adjusts the corridor width
according to the size of the working area when following
along a guide wire. The inbuilt automatic mechanism
allows the robotic lawnmower to vary the distance from
the wire depending on where in the working area it is
located. It automatically makes the corridor narrower in
narrow passages for instance.
The factory settings can be used for many working
areas, i.e. the robotic lawnmower itself can use the
inbuilt functions to operate in the widest possible
corridor. In more complex gardens e.g. where the guide
wire is placed close to obstacles which cannot be
isolated using the boundary loop, operational safety can
be improved by carrying out some of the manual
settings outlined below.
3.16.2.2 Corridor width > Guide
The guide corridor width is adjusted automatically. Only
in rare occasions manual settings need to be entered.
The guide corridor width can be set between
0 and 9.
If value
0 is specified, the robotic lawnmower will
straddle the guide wire meaning it runs right over the
middle of the guide wire.
Use the arrow keys to specify the required value.
The factory setting is
9.
3.16.2.3 Exit angles
Normally the robotic lawnmower leaves the charging
station in a direction within the 90°-270° exit sector. By
changing the exit angles, it makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to reach the largest working area if
the charging station is placed in a passage.
