2. Know Your Unit
2.1 How the Unit Works for You
Perform a One-Time Setup before operating the unit for the first
time.
[Detailed instructions are in the following chapters]
• Install a wire around the entire lawn and around protected areas
within the lawn area.
• The
Perimeter
The Perimeter Wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around
trees, plants, ponds and objects that you want to prevent the unit to
run into.
• If the supplied wire is not sufficient, more wire can be purchased
and spliced with a supplied connector to the existing wire.
• Small pegs are used to fasten the Perimeter Wire into the ground,
below grass level.
• The Perimeter Wire will gradually disappear under the growth of
new grass until it will be invisible.
• You will place a Base Station along the Perimeter Wire. They
perform two basic functions:
-
Generate a signal along the Perimeter Wire.
-
Charge the unit's batteries.
• The Power Box is connected between the Base Station and a 230V
wall socket, using a 15m long low voltage cable.
• After having completed the installation of the Perimeter Wire, Base Station, and the Power Box, and performing the
One-Time Setup, the unit will do all the mowing for you for the entire season!
• The unit is a robotic lawn mower that is powered by a maintenance-free battery. It leaves its Base Station at the scheduled
mowing time. The unit mows the lawn and then drives back to the Base Station to be charged and ready for its next
scheduled mowing.
• As soon as the unit leaves for mowing, the Base Station automatically triggers a special signal. This signal creates a
virtual wall, visible only to the unit. This signal keeps the unit within the lawn boundaries, and prevents it from entering
areas it was programmed to skip or protect.
