Laying Out the Perimeter Wire
z Start setting the perimeter wire by placing pegs every few meters
and at the lawn corners according to your plan; do not forget
obstacles that need to be demarcated while laying the wire.
z Pulling the perimeter wire out of the plastic covering and lay it loo-
sely as you walk along the area of the lawn.
z After removing enough wire within a given section, use the Robo-
Ruler provided to set the correct distance from the lawn edge.
The RoboRuler is used to help position the perimeter wire along
walls, fences, sidewalk, driveways, flowerbeds and other perime-
ter zones.
z There are two basic measurements that are used on the Robo-
Ruler:
–
The shorter distance is used along perimeter edges where the
area outside the immediate perimeter is free of obstacles and
is the same relative height as the perimeter edge or lower (si-
dewalk on the same level or flowerbeds).
–
The longer distance is used along perimeter edges where the
area outside the immediate perimeter has obstacles or diffe-
rences in the height along the perimeter edge (walls and fen-
ces).

Attention!
If the lawn's edge borders with a pond, swimming pool or wa-
tercourse or where the grass level is higher than 70cm (2ft)
from the edge around it, then it is required to keep a distance
of at least 1.2m (4ft) between the wire and the water (or chasm)
otherwise supplement a fence or the same along the lawn's
edge, so Robo Scooter 500 can detect it. The height must then
be at least 15cm (6 inch). This will prevent Robo Scooter 500,
under any circumstances, from crossing the wire outside the
working area.

Warning!
Damage to the eye is possible. Use proper eye protection and
wear appropriate work gloves when hammering the pegs. Hard
or dry ground may cause pegs to break when driving them in.
In extreme cases, watering the lawn where the pegs will be dri-
ven can be beneficial.
1
Warning!
Pegs should be driven at distances between one another that
will keep the wire down below the grass level and prevent it
from becoming a tripping hazard.
z When properly fastened to the ground, the wire and pegs
will soon disappear under the growth of new grass and will
not be visible.

Achtung!
If additional wire is required in order to complete the set-up,
use the wire connectors provided, which are water-proof, to
connect between the two wire ends.
z Screw terminals or twisted cables, insulated with insulation
tape is not a satisfactory splice. Soil moisture will cause the
stripped wire ends to oxidize and after a while result in bro-
ken circuit.
Completing the Perimeter Wire Setup
Once the perimeter wire is completed and pegged to the ground, the
last step to complete is attaching the perimeter wire ends to the Base
Station board and testing the setup.
1. There are two loose wire ends
where the perimeter wire set
up was started. Use the same
peg to fasten these two peri-
meter wire ends down to the
ground and twist them.
2. Cut the wire end without the
connector so they are of equal
length - removing any excess
wire.
3. Strip back 6 mm of insulation from the wire end.
4. Insert the free perimeter wire
into hole of connector using a
small flat screwdriver; tighten
the screw to secure the peri-
meter wire into the connector.
