8 Installing the Perimeter
Wire
8.1 General requirements
Checking routing of perimeter wire and guide
wire in the mowing area
► Make sure that the mowing area along the
perimeter wire and the guide wire is flat and
clear of obstacles as far as possible along the
following widths:
Perimeter wire (1)
–
Toward the outside: a = 37 cm (length:
1x iMOW
®
Ruler)
–
Toward the inside: b = 1.2 m
Guide wire (2)
–
Toward the right in the direction of travel
toward the docking station: a = 37 cm
(length: 1x iMOW
®
Ruler)
–
Toward the left in the direction of travel
toward the docking station: c = 1.2 m
Installing the Perimeter Wire
► Install the perimeter wire clockwise starting at
the docking station.
► Do not kink, cut, put tension on or cross the
perimeter wire.
► Make sure that the perimeter wire does not
cross over a guide wire.
► Exception: When installing a corridor, the
guide wire must cross the perimeter wire.
► Keep a minimum distance of 1 m to perimeter
wires of adjacent robot mower installations.
► Make sure that the length of the perimeter wire
does not exceed 850 m.
► Do not route the perimeter wire and guide wire
at different depths in the soil.
Attaching perimeter wire and guide wire
► Use anchoring stakes to secure the perimeter
wire and guide wire so that the following con‐
ditions are met:
–
The maximum distance between fixing pins
must not exceed a = 1 m.
–
The perimeter wire and guide wire lie flat on
the ground in all areas.
–
The anchoring stakes are sunk completely
into the ground.
Installing Wire Reserves
Wire reserves make it easier to correct installed
wire and give some leeway for future adapta‐
tions.
Examples:
–
A bed is extended and blocked off.
–
Bushes and shrubbery grow and the perimeter
wire must be installed around the plants in a
larger arc.
–
The perimeter wire was cut too short at the
docking station and cannot be connected.
One or several wire reserves can be planned
and installed.
► Route a = 1 m of perimeter wire in parallel and
closely together around 2 fixing pins without
the perimeter wires crossing over each over.
► Secure the wire reserve at the center using
two additional fixing pins.
