McCulloch ROB R600 Operator's Manual page 21

To ensure an even cut over the entire lawn, the robotic
lawnmower can follow the guide wire from the charging
station to the guide wire connection in the boundary wire
and start mowing there. Depending on the garden layout,
one should adjust how often the robotic lawnmower is to
follow the guide wire from the charging station. See
Remote start, ROB R600 only on page 27 (ROB R600) or
Proportion on page 25 (ROB R1000).
The robotic lawnmower runs at varying distances from the
guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming when the
robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire to and from the
charging station. The area beside the wire which the
robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor. The
robotic lawnmower always runs to the left of the guide wire
as seen facing the charging station. Thus the corridor is to
the left of the guide wire. The corridor is 50 cm wide. When
installing, it is therefore important to have at least 75 cm
free space to the left of the guide wire and at least 25 cm
free space to the right of the guide wire, as seen facing the
charging station.
It is not allowed to lay the guide wire closer than 30 cm
from the boundary wire.
The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to or
buried in the ground.
CAUTION! Make sure that there is always at least
75 cm of free space to the left of the guide wire as
seen facing the charging station.

Laying and connecting the guide wire
1. Run the wire through the slot in the bottom of the
charger plate.
2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as
for the boundary wire described in
boundary wire on page 18 . Connect it to the contact
pin on the charging station that is labelled Guide .
3. Run the guide wire at least 2 m straight out from the
front edge of the plate.
If the guide wire must be laid in a passage:
• The robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire on
the same side of the wire to and from the charging
station. This means that the guide wire is to the
right of the robotic lawnmower when the mower
travels to the charging station while it is to the left
of the mower when the mower travels away from
the charging station.
• In the passage, the guide wire must therefore be
placed so that the robotic lawnmower has as much
space to run in as possible. The distance between
the boundary wire and the guide wire must
however be at least 30 cm.
