SETTING UP OF THE PERIMETER WIRE
Before installing the perimeter wire, it is necessary to check the
entire surface of the lawn. Make any necessary adjustments to the
grassy surface during the laying of the perimeter wire in order to
allow the robot to function correctly.
1. Evaluate the best method for returning to the charging station
according to the instructions described in the chapter “RE-
ENTRY METHOD TO THE CHARGING STATION”.
2. Evaluate whether a special installation of the perimeter wire
is necessary according to the instructions described in the
chapter “SET-UP OF THE ROBOT’S QUICK RE-ENTRY TO
THE CHARGING STATION”.
3. Preparation and defining of the work areas.
4. Installation of the perimeter wire.
5. Installation of the charging station and power supply unit. When
laying the perimeter wire, respect the installation direction
(clockwise) and the rotation direction around the flowerbeds
(counter-clockwise), As shown in the figure.

RE-ENTRY METHOD TO THE CHARGING STATION
The robot can return to the charging station in two different ways
based on what is set in the user menu under the field “Settings –
Re-entry to Base.” Use the “On the Wire” method only when there
are numerous obstacles inside the garden and near the perimeter
wire (within 2 meters). In all other cases it is better to use the
“V-Meter” method for the quickest re-entry to the charging station.
“Follow wire”. This method of re-entry to the charging station
commands the robot to follow the perimeter wire, positioning its
wheels on either side of the wire. If this method is activated, there
is no need to prepare the “Recall on Wire” as described below.
“V-Meter”. By setting this method of re-entry to the charging
station, the robot runs along the perimeter wire at an indicative
distance ranging from a few centimetres to one meter (3.2 '),
touching it every now and again in the curved sections until the
signal emitted by the charging station has been recognised for
guiding itself on the wire and entering correctly into the charging
station.

If narrow passages are present or the arrow for quick re-entry to the charging station, the wire must be positioned in a special
way, called “Recall on the wire.”
As soon as a “Recall” is recognised, the robot will follow the perimeter wire at low speed, and with more precision for around
10 meters (33 '). It will then return to the “V-Meter” re-entry mode if the quick re-entry or charging station was not encountered.
Follow these instructions to install the “Recall”:
•
the “Recall” is a piece of wire that extends for around 2 m (6.6 ') with a distance of 5 cm (1.96 ") between each wire;
•
the “Recall” must be positioned at a distance of 2 m. (6.6 ') in front of any narrow passages;
•
the “Recall” must be positioned in the section in front of the “Quick Re-entry”.
NB: If the robot does not find the charging station within a certain amount of time, it will follow the perimeter wire in
“Follow wire” mode.
