8 Installing the Perimeter Wire
► If the angle is less than 90°: Split the angle.
► Design one corner with an angle greater
than 90°. Then route the perimeter wire in a
straight line for at least 37 cm (length:

Navigable area
The robot mower is able to navigate areas
directly adjacent to the mowing area if the differ‐
ence in height between the navigable area and
the mowing area is no more than 1.5 cm. The
ground must be solid and there must not be any
obstacles.
Examples:
– Patio
– Paved path
– Edging stones or flagstones
Edgeless mowing is enabled by maintaining a
short distance between the perimeter wire and
the navigable area.
► Route the perimeter wire parallel to and with‐
out any distance from the navigable area.
The maximum difference in height between
the navigable area and the mowing area is
a = 1.5 cm
8.5
Unnavigable area
An area is unnavigable if obstacles close to the
ground protrude into the mowing area, the
ground is not solid or is very uneven and if the
difference in height between the mowing area
and the adjacent area is more than 1.5 cm.
Examples:
– Wall or fence
– Hedge or shrubbery with branches that grow
close to the ground
– Stone garden or gravel path
– Heavily rooted or uneven ground

► Route 37 cm (length: 1x iMOW
perimeter wire parallel to the unnavigable
area.
► If the unnavigable area is within the mowing
area: Block off the unnavigable area with a
restricted area.
8.6
Water areas
An increased wire distance must be maintained
to water areas if the water area has not been
blocked off from the mowing area by a fixed
obstacle with a minimum height of 10 cm.
Examples:
– Garden pond
– Pool
– Stream or watercourse
► Route the perimeter wire at a distance of
a = 1 m in parallel to the bank area.
► If the water area is within the mowing area:
Block off the water area with a restricted area.
8.7
Drop-off edge
Keep an increased wire distance to drop-off
edges if the drop-off edge has not been blocked
from the mowing area by a fixed obstacle with a
minimum height of 10 cm.
Examples:
– Stairs
– Retaining wall
– Tiered slope
