approved if the robotic lawnmower needs two or
more attempts to dock with the charging station.
Normal causes as to why the robotic lawnmower cannot
follow the wire are that obstacles close to the wire have
not been isolated or that the guide wire has not been
laid at an angle on a steep slope. Check that the
charging station, the boundary wire and the guide wire

3.17.4.8 Charging station range
There may be reasons to reduce the range of the
charging station in rare cases. It may be necessary if for
instance the charging station is placed close to a bush
or wall which prevents the robotic lawnmower from
docking with the charging station despite making contact
with the charging station’s signals. In these cases, it is
normally better to move the charging station, but if this is
not possible, the range of the charging station can be
reduced. The charging station range has three different

intervals:
Note: The charging station’s range must only be
reduced in exceptional cases. It is normally better to
move the charging station to a better place in the
working area.

3.17.5.1 Corridor width
The corridor width is a measure of how far from the
guide wire/boundary wire the robotic lawnmower is
allowed to travel when it follows this to and from the
charging station. The area beside the wire which the
robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor.
The aim of operating at varying distances from the wire
is to reduce the risk of tracks forming. Therefore it is
recommended to select the widest corridor possible
allowed by the size of the working area.
The robotic lawnmower adjusts the corridor width
according to the size of the working area when following
along a guide wire. The inbuilt automatic mechanism
allows the robotic lawnmower to vary the distance from
the wire depending on where in the working area it is
located. It automatically makes the corridor narrower in
narrow passages for instance.
The factory settings can be used for many working
areas, i.e. the robotic lawnmower itself can use the
inbuilt functions to operate in the widest possible
corridor. In more complex gardens e.g. where the guide
wire is placed close to obstacles which cannot be
