2.1.2 Laying the Perimeter Wire
P
The Perimeter Wire is secured to the ground by the
pegs supplied with Robomow. Insert pegs every few
meters and at corners.
At this early stage set a minimum number of pegs. Later,
after testing the wire setup, you will insert all necessary pegs.
P
After uncoiling Sections of wire, before inserting pegs, use the
RoboRuler to determine the distance of the wire from lawn
edge or obstacles.
RoboRuler is supplied with Robomow
U
If
the edge is
slopping
(max 15% is allowed) or a
wall
–
the distance from the edge is
40 cm (1.3 ft.).
U
If
the edge is a flat area or a
cliff
–
the distance from the edge is
32 cm (1 ft.).
P
If
there is a
hard obstacle
(that does
not
need protection as a
Perimeter Island) near the perimeter– Perimeter Wire should be at least
1 m (3.3 ft.)
away from it.
P
If
the edge is
not
a wall, a fence or other obstacle -
you may move the Perimeter Wire closer to the edge.
Test this short distance before fastening the pegs into the ground.
P
Maintain a
45º angle
in all left-turn corners when laying the wire along
the perimeter. It is not necessary to maintain 45
º
angle on right-turn
corners along the perimeter. It is not necessary to maintain 45
º
angle
along corners of an island inside the lawn (example: around a swimming
pool).
P
Continue laying the wire, according to your plan.
Gradually pull the wire out of its dispenser and lay it loosely as you are
moving in a
Anti Clockwise direction
.
2.2 Special cases of Perimeter Wire setup

P
Continue uncoiling the wire, moving from the edge towards the
protected object.
P
Peg the Perimeter Wire around the protected object in a
Clockwise
direction.
