Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup
2.6 Placing Base Station
Use RoboRuler to measure and place Base Station on the Perimeter Wire.
2.6.1 If Base Station is placed on the lawn – Internal Setup
P
Use RoboRuler to place the Base Station on the Perimeter.
)
If
the area outside the perimeter is
free of
obstacles
or if it
is at the same relative height as the
perimeter edge
use the shorter distance of
RoboRuler (30 cm/12 in)
)
If
the area outside the perimeter is walled (building,
fence etc.)
or
if
it
is NOT at the same relative
height as the perimeter edge
use the longer
distance of RoboRuler (45 cm/18 in).
P
Position the Base Station by the lawn’s edge, with its fence
facing the lawn.
2.6.2 If Base Station is placed outside the lawn – External Setup
P
Place the Base Station, so that the distance between
the Drive Wheel Supports and the Perimeter Wire
inside the lawn is 45cm (18 inches). This is the
longest dimension of RoboRuler.
P
Place the Base Station with a shift of 10-20 cm
(4-8 inches) to the right.
The two wires are very close. This has an effect on the
wire sensors readings. Therefore, the Base Station
should be shifted.
The exact shift will be later adjusted during the final
testing of the setup.
P
It is recommended to place the Base Station at least
30 cm (12 inches) before the end of the external
pass.
This allows the mower a smooth entrance to the Base
Station.
P
Clear the pass of any obstacles. Verify that the pass
is smooth, with no height differences, and its surface
is firm.
