Determining the distance between adjacent perimeter
wires
z
If lawns are installed by the same perimeter wire that is connec-
ted to the same source (Base Station / Perimeter Switch), then it
is enough to keep a distance of one meter between the wires to
prevent interference in operation.
z
If lawns are installed using different perimeter wires that are not
connected, and each has its own source (Base Station / Perime-
ter Switch), then one of the following is required:
–
Maintain a minimum distance between the wires (30-50cm) to
allow overlap between mowing zones, but synchronize bet-
ween the mowing schedules to confirm there will not be inter-
ference between the zones. OR
–
Keep two meters between the perimeter wires with no need to
synchronize between the operation schedules.
Defining Obstacles-Perimeter Islands
z
Obstacles that are relatively rigid and higher than 15cm (6 in-
ches), such as trees, phone poles and power poles can be left in
the lawn without any consideration during the wire setup. The
Robo Scooter 500 will turn when it collides with this type of
obstacle.
z
Other obstacles such as, flowerbeds, fountains and small trees,
must be protected from the Robo Scooter 500 using the perimeter
wire. This is done as part of the setup process and is commonly
referred to as a perimeter island. However, for the most gentle
and silent operation, it is preferable to demarcate all fixed objects
in the working area.
To create a perimeter island
1. Take the wire from the perimeter section closest to the obstacle;
2. Peg it around the obstacle, using the RoboRuler short distance;
3. Returning back to the same spot of the edge you started from
3
Notes
z
The wires leading to the perimeter island and coming back
to the edge should be parallel and touching BUT they can-
not be crossed. The wires to and from the perimeter island
can be secured with the same pegs. The mower will not re-
cognize these two wires and mow over them as if they do
not exist. The single wire around the perimeter island will be
recognized and prevent the mower from entering this area.
z
Areas with obstacles grouped closely together should be
covered by a single perimeter island or if they are close to
the edge of the lawn, leave them out of the designated area.

Attention!
Setting the Perimeter Wire counter-clockwise around the
obstacle will cause Robo Scooter 500 to drive into the island".
Slopes
z
A:
The max slope allowed for the Perimeter Wire to be laid on is
15%.
z
B:
The maximum slope limit Robo Scooter 500 can mow inside
the working area is 33%, roughly equals to 33cm (1ft) of rise per
1 meter (3ft). In any event, a slope that causes the front of the mo-
wer to raise from the ground while climbing is too steep and
should not be included as part of the cutting area. Sloping area
greater than 33% cannot be included in the working area.
z
D:
The Perimeter Wire should not be laid across a slope that is
steeper than 15cm (6in) per distance of 1 meter/3.3ft (15%). The-
re is a risk that Robo Scooter 500 will find it difficult to turn and
might cross the wire outside, especially in damp weather condi-
tions, as the wheels can slip on the wet grass.
z
D:
However, the perimeter wire can be laid across a slope stee-
per than 15% if there is an obstacle (fence, wall or dense hedge)
that can prevent Robomow from slipping out of the area.
