Yamabiko ECHO Robotics Turfmow 1000 Technician Manual page 51

There is a required minimum width of the strait, the value of which depends on the length of
the strait. If this minimum width is not available, when the robot is in Zone B it will not be able
to pass through the strait and return to the charging station. In this case you need to install an
additional charging station in Zone B.
The table below presents the "Minimum distance between wires" required to enable the robot
to follow its track border from Zone B through the strait and return to the charging station in
Zone A.
Length of the strait
< 1m
1m<Length of strait<5m
5m<Length of strait<15m
Sites with long lanes
A long isolated lane represents an area where the intensity of the magnetic field between the
wires is high. There is a risk that the robot will not be able to detect where the track border is
and be unable to return to the charging station. This will result eventually in a flat battery.
Length of the lane
>15m
