Overlaps - Echo TM-2000 Technical Manual

23) Select Edit parcels percentage, then press
Set the value to 100% for the lawn parcel.
24) Press to return to the Infrastructure menu.
25) Select Infrastructure > Stations > Create new
station, then press
26) A name is generated that you can modify if you
want.
27) Select Connected to parcels, then press
list of parcels is presented. Select the parcel
inside the LOOP wire and check the button ON.
28) Select Station inside parcel's wire. Check the
button ON if the station is inside the LOOP wire.
In the example shown above it is outside the
wire.
Connect a total of one station loop and two peripheral
wires to a single charging station.
• Each field is defined by a peripheral wire that
starts and ends at the charging station.
• Each peripheral wire is assigned to a different
signal channel in the charging station.
• The charging station must contain one signal
channel board for every peripheral wire
required.
• The area inside of each peripheral wire is defined
as a field. Each peripheral wire must overlap with
its neighboring one.
• Each pair of wires which overlap must be desig-
nated as neighboring fields.
Station loop wire 1 / Field 1, is the small wire to which
the charging station is connected. In this example it
overlaps the larger peripheral wires and fields. When in
this field, the robot will not use the trackborder, it will
follow the station loop wire to enter the charging
station.
All three fields are neighbors to each other.
The overlap area is a transition zone used to connect
the main mowing areas of the fields.
The proportion of time that the robot spends mowing
in fields 1 and 2 is determined by the percentage values
assigned to the corresponding fields. For the station
loop field, the percentage can be set to 0.

6.11 Overlaps

An overlap is an area that lies within two fields and is
used for the robot to transition from one field to
another. The length and width of the overlap must be
greater than 9.8 ft. (3 m).
