12.1 Planning routing of the perimeter
wire
● Determine the location of the docking
station . ( Ö 9.5)
● Either remove obstacles from the
mowing area, or include no-go
areas. (
Ö 12.7)
● The perimeter wire must be routed in a
continuous loop around the entire
mowing area.
Maximum length:
500 m .
● Corridors and secondary areas :
For automatic mowing, join all parts of
the mowing area by means of
corridors . ( Ö 12.9)
If there is insufficient space to do so,
secondary areas must be
installed. ( Ö 12.8)
● Observe the specified clearances
when routing the perimeter
wire (
Ö 12.5):
for obstacles that can be travelled on
(e.g. paths):
0 cm
for corridors: 27 cm
for high obstacles (e.g. walls, trees):
27 cm
minimum wire clearance in confined
areas:
54 cm
for water features and potential sudden
drops (edges, steps):
100 cm
● Corners :
Avoid routing at acute angles (less than
90°).
● Reserve wire :
Reserve wire should be installed at
several points to make it easier to
subsequently change the routing of the
perimeter wire. (

12.2 Making a sketch of the
mowing area
During installation of the robotic
mower and the docking station, it is
recommendable to make a sketch of the
mowing area. A page has been provided at
the start of this Instruction Manual for this
purpose.
The sketch should be modified in the event
of subsequent changes.
Content of the sketch:
– Contour of the mowing area including
important obstacles, borders and any
no-go areas which the robotic mower
must not mow. (
Ö 27.)
– Position of the docking station ( Ö 9.5)
– Position of perimeter wire
After a short while, the perimeter wire is
overgrown and is no longer visible.
Make a note of the routing of the wire
around obstacles in particular. (
Ö 9.6)
– Position of the wire connectors
After a short while, the wire connectors
used are no longer visible. Their
position should be noted in order to
replace them as required. (
Ö 12.14)
12.3 Routing the perimeter wire
● Install the docking station. ( Ö 9.5)
● Starting at the docking station (
Ö
12.7),
route the perimeter wire around the
mowing area and any obstacles,
fastening it to the ground using fixing
pins. Check the clearances using the
iRuler. (
Ö 12.5)
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (
Ö 9.6)
● Connect the perimeter wire. ( Ö 12.4)
The wire clearances specified in
this Instruction Manual are adapted
to routing of the perimeter wire on
the lawn area.
The perimeter wire can also be
buried up to a depth of 10 cm (e.g.
using a cable-laying machine).
Burial in the ground generally
influences signal reception,
particularly if flagstones or paving
stones are laid over the perimeter
wire. The robotic mower may travel
along at a greater offset to the
perimeter wire, requiring more
space in corridors, confined areas
and when travelling along edges.
Adapt wire routing if necessary.
Study the installation examples at
the end of this instruction
manual. (
Ö 27.)
Include no-go areas, corridors,
secondary areas and reserve wire
during routing of the perimeter wire,
in order to prevent subsequent
corrections.
1
Only use original fixing pins and
original perimeter wire.
The routing direction (clockwise or
anti-clockwise) is freely selectable
according to requirements.
Never pull out fixing pins using the
perimeter wire – always use a
suitable tool (e.g universal pliers).
Make a sketch of the perimeter wire
routing. (
