Location of the Base Station
There are two options to set the Base Station:
Internal (inside the lawn)
z Choose a place where you want to setup the Base Station in your
lawn.
z Place the Base Station concomitantly to the lawn edge on the
lawn where the fence faces towards the inner side of the lawn.
External (outside the lawn)
z Choose a place outside the lawn where you want Robo Scooter
500 to be docked and charged.
z Confirm the pass between the lawn and the outside area is
smooth with no height difference, so Robo Scooter 500 will not
get stuck and will follow the wire smoothly.
z The surface between the lawn and the Base Station should be
hard (such as a sidewalk or rigid ground) and not sandy or
stoney, so Robo Scooter 500 will not slip or get stuck on it.
z The area between the lawn and the Base Station should be clear
of obstacles and objects.
z The setup of the entering to the narrow pass leads to the Base
Station should include triangles to reduce the chance that Robo
Scooter 500 will enter towards the station while mowing the inner
area (scanning).
Wire pegs
Roboruler
z The distance between the wires lead to the Base Station and
back to the lawn is 26cm (10 in).
z The Base Station should be placed on the right wire of the narrow
pass (when standing inside the lawn).

Important
As the two wires are very close and affect the wire sensors rea-
dings, the Base Station should not be aligned with the central
lines marked on the Base Station; it should be placed with a
shift of 10-20cm (4-8 inches) to the right.
z It is reccomneded to placed the Base Station at least 25cm (10
inches) before the end of the external pass to allow the mower
smooth entrance to the Base Station.

Perimeter Wire Setup
Now, knowing the location of the Base Station and the planning of the
wire layout, you can begin to setup the Perimeter Wire in the Base zo-
ne.
Starting Point
z Place the Base Station according to your plan with the fence to-
wards the inner side of the lawn.
z Puncture the plastic covering of the perimeter wire and pull the
wire ends with the plot connector out of the plastic covering; The
connector should be connected to the wire in the polarity.

Note
The plastic covering is designed as a dispenser for the wire; so
do not remove the wire spool from the covering.
z Peg the beginning of the wire to the ground where the Base Sta-
tion will be located; be sure to leave 30cm (12 inches) to close the
loop at the end of the setup.
z Start laying the wire to the counterclockwise direction when stan-
ding inside the lawn.
Fastening the Wire to the Ground
z It is not necessary to bury the perimeter wire, though you may do
so if you wish, up to 10 cm (4 inches) deep.
z Small pegs or stakes are supplied with the Robo Scooter 500 and
they are used to fasten and hold the perimeter wire to the ground,
below grass level.
z Initially place a minimum number of pegs to fasten the wire down.
Remember that you will want to test the wire set up before you fill
in additional pegs and you may find some areas where you will
need to move the wire position slightly.
z Upon hammering the peg to its final depth in the ground, pull the
wire tight. It is a lot easier to insert pegs into wet soil. If the soil is
dry, water the yard before perimeter wire set up.
