Planning Planning , for the perimeter wire layout, or for the perimeter switch. Determine Base Station location Before starting the setup, please read this chapter fully and watch the setup DVD. This will help you determine the best location for the Base Station Chapter 1 1.1 Robomow’s Base Station is placed along the Perimeter Wire.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 1.1.3 Determine location of Power Supply PP The Base Station should be close enough (15 m/50 ft) to a wall electrical socket (230V / 120V). The indoor Power Supply unit will be connected to it. PP Robomow’s 15 m (50 ft) low voltage cable connects to the power supply unit. The length of the low voltage cable must NOT be changed.
Planning 1.2.3 Will Robomow be driving through a narrow pass in order to move between two connected zones? A narrow pass is part of the lawn that connects two larger zones. The width of this pass determines how it should be set-up. If the pass… Setup: Is walled (fence, building, etc) and width is More than 2.00m (6.6 ft) OR Edge of pass is an open area and width is more than 1.70m (5.6 ft) Is walled (fence, building, etc) and width is 1.5m – 2.00m (4.9 – 6.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup Chapter 2 Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup Recommendation, before you start: During setup, you will insert pegs into the ground. To make this task smoother, we recommend you mow your lawn and water it before starting. Getting Ready Confirm all parts needed for setup are within reach (refer to ‘What’s in the Box, Introduction). In addition, you will use the following tools: 2.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 PP If setting of Base Station is external (outside lawn) )) Peg the beginning of the wire to the ground, at a distance of 1m (3.3 feet). )) Pull out 40 cm (16 inches) of wire and leave it loose at the Base Station location. This allows for later adjustments of the Base Station. )) Start laying the wire in a counter-clockwise direction at the external area of the Base Station.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup 2.1.2 Laying the Perimeter Wire PP 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. Area outside perimeter - same basic level and free of obstacles. PP Continue laying the wire, according to your plan.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 Caution! Setting the Perimeter Wire counter-clockwise around the obstacle will cause Robomow to drive into the island. PP Complete bordering the island and return to the spot that where you have left the lawn’s edge. PP The wires leading to the Island and returning from it should be parallel and touching. BUT DO NOT cross them! PP Peg both wires, to and from the island, together with the same peg. Robomow will not recognize these two wires.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup 2.2.3 A pond, swimming pool, or watercourse at lawn’s edge OR: Grass level more than 70 cm (2 ft) higher than outer area. At least 1.2 m (4 ft) PP Set the Perimeter Wire at least 1.2 m (4 ft) from the water (or chasm). PP You may provide a fence or another barrier along the lawn’s edge by the water, so Robomow will surely detect it. )) The barrier should be at least 15 cm (6 inch) high.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 PP Insert the pegs at distances that will keep the wire down below the grass level and prevent the wire from becoming a tripping hazard PP The wire and the pegs will soon become invisible under the growth of new grass. PP If additional wire is required in order to complete the setup, connect it using the water-proof wire connectors supplied with Robomow. (Refer to paragraph 10.7 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire).
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup 2.5 Assembling the Base Station 2.5.1 Laying and fastening power cord Safety Avoid injury! The power cord should always be securely fastened to the ground! It should never present a tripping hazard. The power cord should cross over soft surfaces ONLY. It should NOT cross over hard surfaces (e.g. sidewalk, driveway) where it cannot be securely fastened.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 PP Drive Wheel Supports to Base: Align each Drive Wheel Supports with the Station base. Push the base down until it snaps into place. Flip them and drive the screw into the hole in each Drive Wheel Support. Tighten lightly with a Phillips screwdriver. Base Station Cover and base: PP Align the two tabs on the lower part of the cover with the matching openings in the lower section of the base front.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup 2.6 2.6.1 Placing Base Station Use RoboRuler to measure and place Base Station on the Perimeter Wire. If Base Station is placed on the lawn – Internal Setup Area outside perimeter: Same basic level and free of obstacles. PP Use RoboRuler to place the Base Station on the Perimeter.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 PP Create a “narrow pass” of wires, leading from the external Base Station to the lawn and back. The beginning (going) and the end (coming) sections of the Perimeter Wire create this pass. 2.7 Testing Base Station Setup PP Fasten the Base Station in place: Use a hammer to drive the 5 stakes in. start by placing the 2 rear stakes only part way into the ground.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup 2.8.1 Determining Perimeter Switch Location Consider the following in order to install the Perimeter Switch at its optimal location: PP Perimeter Switch is installed outside the perimeter of the non-Base zone. PP Select an easily accessed spot. PP Prefer a dry and sheltered location. PP The Perimeter Switch is to be mounted vertically. The vertical mounting maintains Perimeter Switch water resistance qualities.
Robomow RL555, RL855, RL2000 2.11 Completing and Testing the Setup Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to the ground, you complete the setup by attaching the beginning and end of the Perimeter Wire to the Perimeter Switch. PP At the end of the Perimeter Wire’s loop, you have now two wires: one at the beginning and one at the end of the loop. Lay the two loose wires in the direction of the Perimeter Switch location and peg them to the ground using a single peg for both.
Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup PP Press the P ‘ON’ button on the Perimeter Switch. A small flashing green light next to the ‘ON’ button indicates the system is on and functioning correctly. The control panel has other indicators: a disconnected/broken perimeter Wire and a poor splicing (connections) in the Perimeter Wire ON button Flashing light indicates the system is on Indicates a disconnected/ broken wire Indicates a problem in splicing or a perimeter wire that is too long.
