3. INSTALLATION
•
The route to a remote area is long or
complicated.
When Automower
®
shall follow the boundary
wire to or from a remote area and the route along
the boundary wire to the area is long or
complicated.
•
The boundary wire runs across a long slope
(steeper than 10 %).
When Automower
®
follows the boundary wire
across a slope (steeper than 10 %) the mower
must compensate for the slope. The mower then
follows the boundary wire at a slower speed. The
risk of the mower running outside of the working
area due to skidding increases.
•
The charging station is positioned on an island.
When there is more than 4 metres between the
charging station and the outer edge of the
boundary wire, it can take a long time for
Automower
®
to find the charging station when it
follows the boundary wire. There is a risk of the
mower following the outer edge of the working
area 2 - 3 turns before it changes direction and
starts to follow the loop at another spot.
Placement and connection of the guide
wire
In the text below the guide wires are called guide 1 and
guide 2, as is the case on the rear of the charging
station.
1.
Check that the charging station has the best
placement.
The guide wire together with the part of the
boundary wire that makes up the return to the
charging station is known as the guide loop. The
current in the guide loop always goes to the left
in the connection between the guide wire and the
boundary wire.
The adjoining picture shows what is considered
a guide loop.
The picture is also a good example of an ideal
position for the charging station to give the
shortest possible guide loop.
