What is the minimum distance between island installations and the perimeter wire?
For RC Models The minimum distance of the island installation from the perimeter wire should be 3.3ft (1m). The minimum distance of the perimeter wire from the protected area should be 11in (28cm). If you need to protect a thin […]
How should I install the perimeter wire along a flat edge, a flower bed, small cliff (not more than 1/2in/1cm), or a small stair (up to 2in/5cm)?
For RC Models If the working area borders with a flat area, a flower bed, a small cliff (not more than 0.4in/1cm), or a small stair (up to 2in/5cm), the Perimeter Wire should be laid 8in (20cm) inside the working […]
How should I install the perimeter wire along a wall or high obstacle?
For RC Models If the edge is sloped (a maximum of 10% is allowed), or is bordered with high obstacles such as a wall or fence, the Perimeter Wire should be laid at a distance of 11in (28cm) from the […]
I have a Separated Zone (lawn area) from my main area. How can I install the Perimeter wire so Robomow will mow it?
If the Separated Zone is not connected to the Main Zone and Robomow cannot drive between these zones, then you have to define and install it as a Separated Zone. If the Separated Zone is small enough so Robomow can […]
Where is the best place to install the Base Station on the lawn?
Robomow’s Base Station must be placed along the Perimeter Wire, where the wire “loop” starts and ends. Other things to keep in mind when placing the Base Station: Place it on relatively level ground. Do not place it on a […]
Is it possible to install the perimeter wire in a sloped area?
Yes. The Perimeter Wire can be laid across a slope that slants less than 10% (4in rise per 3.2ft/10cm rise per 1m). It’s important to note that if the Perimeter Wire is laid across a slope steeper than 10%, the […]
Can Robomow drive over a flat path?
When the working area is divided by a flat path that is level with the lawn, it is possible to allow Robomow to run over the path. The Perimeter Wire can be laid under the pavement blocks or in the […]
What is the minimum distance between two adjacent island installations?
For RC Models You should maintain a minimum of 3.3ft (1m) between adjacent islands. For RS Models You should maintain a minimum of 4.9ft (1.5m) between wires of adjacent islands. Wires under same peg Perimeter Wire position Perimeter Wire Minimum […]
How should I install the Perimeter Wire near a swimming pool or watercourse?
If the working area is adjacent to a swimming pool, watercourse, slope greater than 10%, precipice higher than 20in (50cm) or a public road, the Perimeter Wire must be supplemented with a fence or the like. The height must then […]
How should I properly install the Perimeter Wire (island) around an object?
The following steps will guide you through the proper installation of the Perimeter Wire around lawn objects: Use the Perimeter Wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that cannot withstand a collision. For example, […]
