Where grass areas are contiguous, Robomow will automatically mow all zones and drive back for
recharging in the Base Station at the end of each operation.
The area that connects two attached big areas is called a narrow pass.
There are two types of narrow passes (Figure 1.6):
Type A: At least 1m (3ft) between the wires so Robomow can effectively navigate through in order to
move between the areas during the operation.
Type B: Distance of 26cm (10 inches) between the wires (the shorter measurement of the RoboRuler),
so Robomow can follow the Perimeter Wire in order to start the operation in the required area,
but it reduces the chance that the mower will cross between the area while in scanning (mowing
of the inner area). When setting narrow pass type B, it is required to set different entry points in
order to start mowing in the different areas (to set ‘Entry points’ refer to Paragraph 2.1.1.2).
Setup of Narrow Pass Type B, should be 26cm (10 inches) wide all along the pass, but should be set as
a broken line to reduce the chance that the mower will cross between the areas during the operation.

Narrow Pass Type B setup
Narrow pass width is 26cm,
but it is setup as a broken
line to prevent Robomow
crossing between the areas
during operation. When the
narrow pass length is
longer than 2m, it is
recommended break the
line in 2 points, as shown at
the right.
