Programming Virtual Perimeters, Transition Routes And Areas To Be Avoided - Stiga A 500 Instruction Manual

First-time product start-up procedure
1. Position the robot lawn mower so that it will be able to move forward at least 3 m without encountering
any obstacles.
2. Start the initialization as requested by the app and wait for the completion of the procedure. The robot
lawn mower moves forward by taking three steps of approximately 1 m.
How to proceed when starting or moving the robot lawn mower manually:
1. Place the robot lawn mower inside a programmed area in a position that will allow it to move forward
at least 3 m while remaining within the virtual boundary without encountering obstacles.
2. Start the initialization as requested by the app and wait for the completion of the procedure. The robot
lawn mower will move forward by taking three steps of approximately 1 m.

4.7.9. PROGRAMMING VIRTUAL PERIMETERS, TRANSITION ROUTES AND AREAS TO BE AVOIDED

Before proceeding with the programming, make sure the following steps have been completed: device
pairing (par. 4.7.3), configuration of the charging base (par. 4.7.5), calibration of the charging base
(par. 4.7.6), initialization of the robot lawn mower (par. 4.7.7).
The programming of the virtual perimeters of the various Zones and Closed Areas, Transition Routes and
Areas to be Avoided is performed using the respective STIGA.GO App wizard. The procedures require to
manually guide the robot lawn mower, walking beside it.
The robot can be driven in two modes:
• Via Virtual Joystick in app.
• By means of the accessory Trolley cod: 1127-0021-01.
Following are the most relevant steps:
1. Follow the robot start-up procedure in APP, choose between the joystick and Trolley options.
2. Guide the robot lawn mower with the virtual Joystick or Trolley to the point where you want to start
programming.
3. Start recording boundaries or virtual routes by pressing the designated button.
4. Guide the robot lawn mower with the virtual Joystick or Trolley around the perimeter or route to be pro-
grammed. The starting and ending points of the virtual perimeter must coincide. It is also possible to
record the perimeter or virtual routes via the point-to-point method. In this case, the robot records the
perimeter or route as a sequence of straight lines between the points selected by the user.
CAUTION:
Comply with the minimum distances from obstacles and the instructions in
Par. 4.4
5. Confirm the recording.
NOTE: After programming the virtual boundaries, the robot lawn mower retraces the entire
virtual boundary in order to check whether the programming was carried out correctly. This step
is necessary for safety reasons and cannot be ignored. It is possible to continue only when the
robot lawn mower has returned to the starting point of the virtual perimeter.
NOTE: In order to manage different areas of the garden differently, it is possible to programme
several virtual zones.
NOTE: Virtual boundaries must be programmed before programming transfer routes and areas
to be avoided.
