Planning
Sketch of the working area:
In order to make the robot mow
within the desired area – and only
that area – you need to mark the
area by means of boundary wiring.
Before you start, it is important to make a sketch of the robot’s working area and the “obstacles” it should
walk around, which, therefore, should also be marked with boundary wire.
In case your neighbour also has a robot mower, it is important that there is a minimum 10 m distance between
your and your neighbour’s boundary wires to avoid interference between the wire signals.
Further, it is important that you install your docking station minimum 10 m from your neighbour’s boundary wire.
To avoid future problems, you should follow your sketch carefully to lay the boundary wire correctly.
Positioning of the docking station:
Start by placing the docking station on your sketch within a reasonable distance to your outdoor switch as
the power cable of the docking station is 15 m.
The docking station must be placed on a solid, flat surface.
Avoid placing the docking station:
• In a corner of the lawn
• In low-lying areas where the docking station or the robot
Note: It is important that the adaptor and the electrical plug
are always kept dry!
You must allow 2 m free space without obstacles in front of the
docking station to ensure that the machine can return to the
station without problems. A free space of 1 m is required be-
hind the docking station.
Rules for laying the boundary wire:
• The boundary wire must be connected in a coherent wire
without breaks or crossings. 100 m wire is included.
• There must be max. 1 m between each boundary peg. 100
pegs are included.
• Never make perpendicular (90°) corners. The corners must be
minimum 100° (please see drawing).
• The boundary wire must be placed 10 – 30 cm from the bor-
derline of the lawn. 10 cm is required if the adjacent surface
is in the same level (f.inst. tiles), 20 cm in case of a firm edge
and 30 cm in case of a soft edge, f.inst. towards bushes and
other vegetation where the robot mower may get stuck.
