Automower from 15
1. Function
™
In general the widest possible corridor should always
be used. Apart from a reduced risk of tracks forming, it
is also easier for the Automower to follow the boundary
wire or guide wire. The mower does not need to stop
as frequently to search for the signal and with that runs
more smoothly. On the other hand, if there are narrow
passages in the working area that the Automower
needs to pass through, it is necessary to use a narrow
corridor.
Corridor width 0 means that the Automower straddles
the boundary wire respective guide wire. As there are
often flower beds, hedges and walls along with the
boundary wire Corridor width
0 is not normally
recommended. Nevertheless, if you still want to use
this setting the boundary wire should be laid 40cm
from fixed objects, instead of the normal 35cm.
The corridor width is a relative value. In table 4 below
the approximate distances in centimetres between
the boundary wire and the centre of Automower for
some corridor widths are presented. The distance is
measured on a wide open area where no other part of
the boundary wire can have an influence.
In small installations and in narrow passages the
strength of the loop signal will be higher. Automower
will then run closer to the boundary wire respective
guide wire. The length of the guide loop also affects
the distance. Note that the values in the table are
approximate and can always vary in different
installations.
