Use and Care Guide

only if the robotic lawnmower is able to follow the
guide wire the entire distance to the charging station
and docks at the first attempt. If the robotic
lawnmower is unable to dock on the first attempt, it
will automatically try again. The installation is not
approved if the robotic lawnmower needs two or
more attempts to dock with the charging station.
Normal causes as to why the robotic lawnmower cannot
follow the wire are that obstacles close to the wire have
not been isolated or that the guide wire has not been
laid at an angle on a steep slope. Check that the
charging station, the boundary wire and the guide wire
are installed in accordance with the instructions in
Laying the boundary wire on page 18
, in
Plan where to
lay the boundary wire on page 15
and in
Laying and
connecting the guide wire on page 20

maximum distance from the wire defined by the selected
corridor width.

3.17.2.10 Charging station range
There may be reasons to reduce the range of the
charging station in rare cases. It may be necessary if for
instance the charging station is placed close to a bush
or wall which prevents the robotic lawnmower from
docking with the charging station despite making contact
with the charging station’s signals. In these cases, it is
normally better to move the charging station, but if this is
not possible, the range of the charging station can be
reduced. The charging station range has three different
intervals:
Max
,
Mid
,
Min
. The factory setting is
Max
.
Note: The charging station’s range must only be
reduced in exceptional cases. It is normally better to
move the charging station to a better place in the
working area.
3.17.3 Advanced
Under the
Advanced
heading, there are more settings
relating to the behaviour of the robotic lawnmower. The
settings in this menu are only required if additional
control of the lawnmower is needed e.g. in complex
gardens. The factory settings are selected in a way that
should suit most working areas.

3.17.3.1 Corridor width
The corridor width is a measure of how far from the
guide wire/boundary wire the robotic lawnmower is
allowed to travel when it follows this to and from the
charging station. The area beside the wire which the
robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor.
The aim of operating at varying distances from the wire
is to reduce the risk of tracks forming. Therefore it is
recommended to select the widest corridor possible
allowed by the size of the working area.
The robotic lawnmower adjusts the corridor width
according to the size of the working area when following
along a guide wire. The inbuilt automatic mechanism
allows the robotic lawnmower to vary the distance from
the wire depending on where in the working area it is
located. It automatically makes the corridor narrower in
narrow passages for instance.
