Manual and Automatic Operation
3.1 Activating The Perimeter Switch – Docking Zone
Area/zone with Docking Station
If the Robomow is operated from the Docking Station in automatic or manual-depart (see
paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3), the Robomow will automatically switch the Perimeter Switch at the
Docking Station Control Panel on and off to coincide with depart and dock events.
3.2 Manual Depart
Manual Depart mode can be used in cases such as the following:
- Mowing the lawn at times other than when programmed.
- When the lawn is occupied and the yard must be cleared of debris, objects, pets or people first.
For initiating a manual start for mowing, press the ‘GO’ button
once
to start the sequence:
1. Robomow will depart the Docking Station and automatically follow the perimeter wire one pass
around the perimeter until it reaches the Docking Station. It will briefly start to dock, but then
reverse out and move back to continue the mowing of the inner area.
2. Robomow will automatically determine the entry point into the lawn from the perimeter wire. A
‘Searching entry’ message is displayed on the Manual Controller while it is searching for the
entry point into the lawn. The RL1000 is programmed for three different entry points into the
lawn, at specified distances from the Docking Station. It will go to the next entry point with each
operation until it begins at location one again.
To skip the edge mowing process, press the ‘GO’ button
twice
when initiating manual depart
and mowing.
3.3 Automatic Depart
Automatic Depart mode is used as fully automatic solution to maintain your lawn.
This mode enables you to set a weekly program, where the mower will automatically depart to
mow and dock when finished, at days and times you have scheduled.
To set the weekly program refer to Chapter 4, Setting the Weekly Program.
3.4 Returning to the Docking Station
Automatic Docking
The Robomow automatically returns to the Docking Station at the end of every operation. It will
recharge and stay ready for the next scheduled departure time that was scheduled.
‘Go to Dock’ option
You can manually send the mower to the Docking Station from any point in the lawn.
