The setup of the entering to the narrow pass leads to the Base Station should include
triangles to reduce the chance that Robomow will enter towards the station while mowing
the inner area (scanning); to perform the triangle setup refer to Figure 1.7.
The distance between the wires lead to the Base Station and back to the lawn is 26cm (10
inches).
The Base Station should be placed on the right wire of the narrow pass (when standing
inside the lawn).
Important:
as the two wires are very close and affect the wire sensors readings, the Base
Station should not be aligned with the central lines marked on the Base Station; it should
be placed with a shift of 10-20cm (4-8 inches) to the right.
It is reccomneded to placed the Base Station at least 25cm (10 inches) before the end of
the external pass to allow the mower smooth entrance to the Base Station.
1.4 Perimeter Wire Setup
Now, knowing the location of the Base Station and the planning of the wire layout, you can begin to
setup the Perimeter Wire in the Base zone.
1.4.1 Starting
Point
Place the Base Station according to your plan
with the fence towards the inner side of the
lawn, as shown in Figure 1.11 or 1.13;
Puncture the plastic covering of the perimeter
wire and pull the wire ends with the plot
connector out of the plastic covering; The
connector should be connected to the wire in
the polarity show in Figure 1.12;
The plastic covering is designed as a dispenser
for the wire; so do not remove the wire spool
from the covering;
Peg the beginning of the wire to the ground
where the Base Station will be located; be sure
to leave 30cm (12 inches) to close the loop at
the end of the setup (Figure 1.13);
Start laying the wire to the counterclockwise direction when standing inside the lawn, as show in
Figure 1.13.
Begin pulling the perimeter wire out of the plastic covering and lay it loosely as you walk along
the area of the lawn to the direction shown in Figure 1.13;
Figure 1.12 –
Pull out the wire from the
plastic covering – do not remove the
covering; it is designed as a dispenser.
