Table of Contents

The robot can return to the charging station in two different ways based on

what is set in the user menu under the ﬁ eld "Settings – Re-entry to Base."

Use the "On the Wire" method only when there are numerous obstacles

inside the garden and near the perimeter wire (within 2 meters). In all other

cases it is better to use the "V-METER" method for the quickest re-entry to

the charging station.

"Follow wire". This method of re-entry to the charging station commands

the robot to follow the perimeter wire, positioning its wheels on either side

of the wire. If this method is activated, there is no need to prepare the

"Recall on Wire" as described below.

"V-METER". By setting this method of re-entry to the charging station, the

robot runs along the perimeter wire at an indicative distance ranging from

a few centimetres to one meter (3.2 '), touching it every now and again in

the curved sections until it recognises the "Recall on the Wire" necessary

to properly steer the robot to the charging station or to guide it along narrow

sections. Once the "Recall On the Wire" has been recognised, the robot

will follow the perimeter wire, positioning its wheels on either side of the

wire for a distance of around 10 meters. (33 ').

The "Recall on the wire" not only indicates to the robot that it is near the charging station, but also of a narrow passage or of an arrow for quick

re-entry to the charging station.

As soon as a "Recall" is recognised, the robot will follow the perimeter wire at low speed, and with more precision for around 10 meters (33 '). It

will then return to the "V-Meter" re-entry mode if it does not encounter the charging station or the arrow for quick re-entry.

Follow these instructions to install the "Recall."

•

The "Recall" is a piece of wire that extends for around 2 m (6.6 ') with a distance of 5 cm (1.96 ") between each wire.

•

The "Recall" must be positioned at a distance of 4 and 10 m. (13.2 - 33 ') in front of the charging the station.

•

The "Recall" must be positioned at a distance of 2.5 m. (8.25 ') in front of any narrow passages.

•

The "Recall" must be positioned in the section in front of the "Quick Re-entry."

NB: If the robot does not ﬁ nd the charging station within a certain amount of time, it will follow the perimeter wire in "Follow wire"

mode.

Quick re-entry requires a special installation of the perimeter wire that allows the robot to reduce the re-entry path to the charging station. This

special installation of the perimeter wire should only be used for gardens where quick re-entry signiﬁ cantly reduces the path and where the

perimeter length is greater than 200 meters.

To setup the quick re-entry, position the perimeter wire on the ground so that it forms a triangle with one side of 50 cm (19.7 ") and the other two

sides of 40 cm (15.75 ") each, as shown in the ﬁ gure.

As the robot heads back to the charging station with the two wheels on either side of the wire, it intercepts this triangle and stops moving. It

then turns approximately 90° towards the inside of the garden and starts moving in the new direction until running into the perimeter wire on the

opposite side.

Arrange the wire for quick re-entry in a point where there is at least 200 cm (78.74 ") of straight wire in front of the station, and at least 150 cm

(59.05 ") of straight wire behind it.

Do not set up the wire along the straight section immediately in front of the charging station or near any obstacles. Make sure there are no

obstacles along the re-entry path that may obstruct the quick re-entry.

Important

An incorrect setup of the robot's quick re-entry may prevent the robot from returning to the charging station quickly. When

the robot travels along the perimeter to reach a secondary area, it may not detect the quick re-entry setup.
