Robomow Tuscania 200 Manual page 53

Another option is to mount the Perimeter Switch onto a
vertical surface, such as a wall or deck railing. There are
three small bosses on the back of the switch cover in order
to mount it this way. (Figure 1.4).
1.2.3 Multiple Zones/Areas And Narrow Passages
Your home may require more than one zone to be set up in
order for the Robomow to work in all of your lawn effectively.
Where grass areas are not contiguous, or are separated by
fences, sidewalks or other objects, it is required to make each
of these a separate zone.
When setting separated zones there are two options to lay the
wire:
Option A: All zones are looped together and connected to the
Perimeter Switch. Perimeter wire can be as long as 500 meters
(1650ft) in one loop when connected to the Perimeter Switch
(Figure 1.5).
Option B: There are separated zones. The Perimeter Switch can be moved between
different zones (Figure 1.6).
To mow other areas, simply drive or carry Robomow to the area you want to mow and operate
it. In this way, if one zone needs a shorter operating time than another, it can easily be set
(Chapter 2.1.1). When this area is completed, drive the mower back for re-charging.
Determining the distance between adjacent perimeter wires:
1. If lawns are installed by the same perimeter wire that is connected to the
same source (Base Station / Perimeter Switch), then it is enough to keep a
distance of one meter between the wires to prevent interference in
operation.
2. If lawns are installed using different perimeter wires that are not connected,
and each has its own source (Base Station / Perimeter Switch), then one of
the following is required:
a. Maintain a minimum distance between the wires (30-50cm) to allow
overlap between mowing zones, but synchronize between the mowing
schedules to confirm there will not be interference between the zones.
OR
b. Keep two meters between the perimeter wires with no need to
synchronize between the operation schedules.
Distance between wires
greater than 1 meter (3ft.)
