Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000
How It Works
• A one-time setup is required before operating Robomow; a small wire, called the perimeter wire, is placed around
the edge of the lawn and any other areas where you do not want the mower to enter.
• Small pegs are supplied with Robomow and they are used to fasten and hold the perimeter wire to the ground,
below grass level; the wire will soon disappear under the growth of new grass and will not visible.
• The Base Station is placed along the perimeter wire and it has two main functions:
- To generate a small signal along the perimeter wire (very low voltage);
- To charge Robomow batteries.
• After completing the one-time set-up of wire around the lawn including the Base Station set the weekly program
and forgets about mowing for the entire season!
• Robomow will leave the Base Station on the day and time scheduled in the automatic weekly program; it will mow
the lawn and will drive back for charging in the Base Station to be ready for the next operation.
• When Robomow leaves the Base Station it automatically starts the signal carried through the Base Station; the
signal creates a virtual wall, which is visible only to the Robomow, keeping it inside the lawn preventing it to cross
over area where you do not want it to enter.
Robomow detects the
signal and changes
direction as it reaches
the wire

Tree with hole or flowers around; require
placing a wire around it
Base Station generates a signal
along the wire and is used to
charge Robomow batteries
Trees large enough to allow
Robomow to bump into; do not
require a perimeter wire around it
