and Follow guide home search methods can however
give considerably shorter search times in more complex
installations with areas divided by passages or openings.
The robotic lawnmower always starts a search for the
charging station using the Irregular method, on the
condition that the delay times for the boundary wire or
any of the guide wires are not set to 0 minutes.
Irregular searching means that the robotic lawnmower
runs in an irregular pattern until it encounters the F field
by the charging station. The strength of the F signal
which is required for the mower to react is set in the
Charging station range setting.
If a guide wire is installed and the delay time for this
wire has elapsed, the robotic lawnmower will start
to search for and follow it to the charging station. If
the delay time for the boundary loop also elapses
before the robotic lawnmower has found the charging
station, the mower will also start searching for the
boundary loop. If the mower then finds and follows the
boundary loop, it keeps going until it has found the
charging station or crosses the guide wire. If it crosses
the guide wire, the robotic lawnmower will follow it
instead to the charging station. For GARDENA R100Li,
R100LiC,R130Li, R130LiC and R160Li, the guide wire
is mandatory.
When the mower follows the boundary loop or a guide
wire, it travels a distance into the F field before the
F and N signals direct it correctly into the charging
station.
If the boundary loop is laid around an island, the robotic
lawnmower follows the loop twice around the island
before it leaves it and travels on to encounter the
boundary loop at another point.
If the robotic lawnmower encounters an obstacle while
following the boundary loop, it passes it by travelling
in one or more loops around the obstacle.
If the robotic lawnmower encounters an obstacle when
it follows a guide wire, it passes it by running closer
to the guide wire.
