Overview

The robotic lawn mower can operate automatically or
manually. In the automatic mode, it cuts grass within an
area surrounded by an energized perimeter wire that
creates a virtual boundary around the mowing area. As the
lawn mower approaches the perimeter wire, it senses the
wire signal and stays within the mowing area defined by
the boundary.

The Perimeter Wire

The perimeter wire transmits a low-voltage signal that the
lawn mower detects as it approaches the wire. The lawn
mower stays within the mowing area boundary created by
the perimeter wire.

The Perimeter Switch

The perimeter switch controls the low-voltage signal
transmitted through the perimeter wire. Figure 3 illustrates
the functions of the perimeter switch:

Wire Disconnected Indicator—A light that blinks
when there is a break in the perimeter wire or when
there is a bad connection.
On Light—Blinks when the perimeter switch is on.
You can either temporarily or permanently mount the
