8.2 Planning guide wire and routing
connection point in the perime‐
ter wire
Carefully plan the routing of one or several guide
wires in advance. Take into account the position
of all guide wires when installing the perimeter
wire. At least one guide wire must be installed;
three guide wires may be installed.
A guide wire (1) fulfills the following functions:
–
Orientation for returning to the docking station
(2)
–
Moving toward a starting point (3)
–
Splits the mowing area into zones (A and B)
Starting at the docking station (2), install the
guide wire (1) across the mowing area and con‐
nect it to a point on the circumferential perimeter
wire (4) that is as far away as possible.
► Plan the guide wire so that the following condi‐
tions are met:
–
Route the guide wire for a =2 m in a straight
line from the docking station to the mowing
area.
–
The minimum distance between the guide wire
and the circumferential perimeter wire is
b = 27.5 cm
–
Route the guide wire with a minimum distance
c = 37 cm (length: 1x iMOW
®
Ruler) in a
straight line and at a right angle to the perime‐
ter wire and connect it.
–
The guide wire must not cross over a blocked-
off area connection.
–
The guide wire must not be connected to the
perimeter wire in a corner.
–
The guide wire must not cross over a perime‐
ter wire.
Exception: When installing a corridor, the
guide wire must cross the perimeter wire.
–
The guide wire must not be kinked or under
tension, and it must not cross over itself.
The connection point for the guide wire must be
installed during the installation of the circumfer‐
ential perimeter wire (4).
► Secure the perimeter wire (4) at the intended
areas using a fixing pin (5).
► Place the perimeter wire (4) in a loop with a
length of a = 15 cm and secure with another
fixing pin (5).
► Cut the perimeter wire (4) at the end of the
wire loop, such as with a wire cutter.
The wire ends are connected to the guide wire
at the completion of the installation.

► Continue to install the perimeter wire (4)
around the mowing area.
