5. Plan for the boundary wire
The wire has to be placed at a certain distance from the edge of the lawn. This distance changes depending on what’s on the other
side of the edge. Different parts of your lawn may have different border scenarios: ie. stone pavers, fence, patio, etc.
A. If the edge of the lawn borders a step: keep the wire 10 in. from the edge. (figure 1).
B. If the edge of the lawn borders a path of the same height: keep the wire 4 in. from the edge. (figure 2).
C. If the edge of the lawn borders a pool: keep the wire at least 12 in. from the edge. (figure 3).
If a side of your lawn borders a neighbor’s lawn with a robotic mower in use, lay your wire at least 39 in. apart from your neighbor’s wire to
avoid possible interference.

7. Identify obstacles
Landroid is equipped with a bump sensor which allows you to avoid surrounding all obstacles with boundary wire. Landroid can lightly bump
into solid obstacles like trees and furniture without harm. If your lawn has several obstacles like pavers and trees, we recommend purchasing
the Landroid ACS (Anti-Collision Control) accessory which helps Landroid steer around obstacles instead of bumping into them.

PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION
Landroid is designed to manage the most complex of lawns. Carry out a visual inspection of your lawn so you are prepared for a
trouble-free installation of the boundary wire.
6. Identify Off-Limits Areas
You don’t want Landroid to mow flowers, dive into water, or become imobilized on tree roots that are above ground. Locate these
areas and surround them with boundary wire to prevent Landroid from accessing them.
The boundary wire is a single loop that starts at the charging station, encircles your yard, and then terminates back at the charging
station. To exclude the off-limits areas, the wire will need to be diverted at a right angle from the outer perimeter of the yard, directed
towards the area, and then laid in a counter clockwise path around the area, as show below in Fig. 1. Then the wire would go back
to the yard perimeter, making sure that there is no gap between the wires going to and coming from the off-limits area. This ensures
that the mower will not “see” this section of wire and will pass over it while mowing. This exercise does not involve cutting the wire in
any way, and still maintains one continuous loop.
A great alternative is to purchase the Landroid Off Limits Digital Fence accessory. With this option, you simply surround the off-limits
area with the provided magnetic strips. They do not have to be connected to the boundary wire. The Off-Limits Digital Fence is also
great for protecting seasonal items (ex. a trampoline or fire pit).
