Chapter 2-3
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup
2.1.2 Laying the Perimeter Wire
P The Perimeter Wire is secured to the ground by the pegs supplied with
Robomow. Insert pegs every few meters and at corners.
At this early stage set a minimum number of pegs. Later, after testing
the wire setup, you will insert all necessary pegs.
P Continue laying the wire, according to your plan.
Gradually pull it out of its dispenser and lay it loosely as you are moving
in a counterclockwise direction.
P After uncoiling sections of wire, before inserting pegs, use the
RoboRuler to determine the distance of the wire from lawn edge or
obstacles.
If Outer Area Adjacent To Lawn… Distance Of Border From Wire
Is clear of obstacles.
Is lower than lawn
(OR of about the same height).
(e.g. same level sidewalk, flowerbed)
Short Distance
(30 cm / 12 inch)
Is an obstacle
Or, is higher than the wire
(e.g. wall, fence).
Long Distance
(45 cm / 18 inch)
2.2 Special cases of Perimeter Wire setup
2.2.1 Perimeter Islands
Continue uncoiling the wire, moving from the edge towards the obstacle.
Apply RoboRuler’s “Long Distance” to peg the Perimeter around the
obstacle as shown in the drawing (clockwise direction).
Long Distance
Short Distance
Area outside perimeter - same basic
level and free of obstacles.
Area outside perimeter - has a
wall as an obstacle.
Direction of setup: clockwise
around obstacle
Min. distance between islands: 1.5 m (4.9 ft).
Otherwise, demarcate jointly as one island.
