Chapter 1-3
Planning
Determining the distance between adjacent perimeter wires:
1. If lawns are installed by the same perimeter wire that is connected
to the same source (Base Station / Perimeter Switch), then it is
enough to keep a distance of one meter between the wires to prevent
interference in operation.
2. If lawns are installed using different perimeter wires that are not
connected, and each has its own source (Base Station / Perimeter
Switch), then one of the following is required:
a. Maintain a minimum distance between the wires (30-50cm) to
allow overlap between mowing zones, but synchronize between
the mowing schedules to confirm there will not be interference
between the zones. OR
b. Keep two meters between the perimeter wires with no need to
synchronize between the operation schedules.
1.2.3 Will Robomow be driving through a narrow pass in order to
move between two connected zones?
A narrow pass is part of the lawn that connects two larger zones.
The width of this pass determines how it should be set-up.
If the pass…
Setup:
Is
walled
(fence, building, etc)
and width is More than 2.00m (6.6 ft)
OR
Edge of pass is an
open area
and width is more than 1.70m (5.6 ft)
Regular setup, as Robomow can
navigate between the areas while
mowing.
(Refer to paragraph 2.1.2).
Is
walled
(fence, building, etc)
and width is 1.5m – 2.00m (4.9 – 6.6 ft)
OR
Edge of pass is
an open area
and width is 1.1m – 1.70m (3.6 – 5.6 ft)
Set as a “Narrow Pass”: Robomow
will drive through the pass, but will
NOT get across while mowing each
area.
(Refer to paragraph 2.2.2).
Is
walled
(fence, building, etc)
and width is smaller than 1.5m (4.9 ft)
OR
Edge of pass is
open area
and width is smaller than 1.1m (3.6 ft)
Pass is too narrow.
Set the areas as 2 separate zones.
We want Robomow to enter the narrow pass in order to move
between these zones.
But, we do not want it to cross the pass while mowing each
one of them
.
See Chapter 2, Base Station and Perimeter Wire
Setup
Note:
Narrow Passes require special setting of Entry
Points in order to start mowing in the adjacent areas
(see Chapter 7, Setting Robomow and using Advanced Features)
Pass wide enough. Robomow can effectively navigate
between the two areas while mowing the lawn.
Narrow Pass: Robomow will drive
through the pass, but will NOT get
across while mowing each area.
