How often the robotic lawnmower must follow the guide
wire from the charging station is selected as a proportion
of the total number of times it leaves the charging
station. At all other times, the robotic lawnmower leaves
the charging station in the standard manner and starts to
mow.
Proportion
Never
Rarely
Medium
Often
Always
•
The following five options can be selected;
-
Never (0%)
-
Rarely (approx. 20%)
-
Medium (approx. 50%)
-
Often (approx. 80%)
-
Always (100%)
Select the percentage that corresponds to the size
of the remote area relative to the total working area.
If the remote area is for instance less than half of the
total working area, then
Rarely should be selected. If
the remote area is for instance half of the total
working area,
Medium should be selected. Compare
with the examples in
Yard layout examples on page
31. The default setting is Rarely.
3.14.2.2 Distance
Enter the distance in metres along the guide wire from
the charging station to the remote area where the
robotic lawnmower begins mowing. Tip! Use the
Test
OUT function to determine how far it is to the remote
area. The distance, stated in metres, will be shown in
the robotic lawnmower’s display.
3.14.3 Remote start 2
If the working area contains two remote areas, the guide
wire should be installed so that it reaches both areas.
Remote start 1 and Remote start 2 can then be
combined to steer the robotic lawnmower to each area.
The settings for
Proportion and Distance are carried out
in the same way as for
Remote start 1. The default
setting is
Never.
Take into account that the total figure for
Proportion
cannot exceed 100%. If one has for instance selected
Often for Remote start 1, then one can only select Never
or
Rarely for Remote start 2.
3.14.4 Test settings
In the
Test settings menu, it is possible to test how the
settings for
Remote start 1 and Remote start 2 work in
the working area in question.

3.14.4.1 Test OUT
The
Test OUT function is used to test if the selected
Guide width suits the installation in question and to
calculate the distance from the charging station to a
remote area.
To test the settings in
Remote start 1:
Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station and
select
Test OUT - Remote start 1. The robotic
lawnmower will then leave the charging station straight
away along the guide wire and begin mowing after the
designated distance.
If there is a passage that the robotic lawnmower cannot
get through, the settings in Guide width ought to be
changed from
Wide to Medium. If required, the setting
can also be changed to
Narrow. The Narrow guide width
setting should only be used if none of the other settings
work for this installation. When the
Test OUT function is
activated, the robotic lawnmower travels the farthest
distance from the wire allowed by the selected guide
width.
The figure shows how the robotic lawnmower travels
through a passage when
Guide width is set to Medium
and not to
Wide.
How to measure the distance from the charging station
to a remote area:
Enter a distance which beyond any doubt exceeds the
real figure. The maximum distance that can be entered
is 100 metres. Park the robotic lawnmower in the
charging station and select
Test OUT. The robotic
lawnmower will immediately leave the charging station.
The distance, stated in metres, will be shown in the
mower display as the robotic lawnmower operates. Stop
the robotic lawnmower at the required position and note
