11 Installing the Perimeter Wire

11.1 Planning the Layout of the Mowing Area

When planning the layout of the mowing area and placement
of the perimeter wire:
► Study the installation examples at the end of this
instruction manual, @ 26. Consider restricted areas,
corridors, secondary areas, search loops and reserve wire
in your planning to prevent or minimize the need for
subsequent re-routing and adjustment of the perimeter
wire.
► Determine the location of the docking station, @ 10.3.
► Remove obstacles from the mowing area and create
restricted areas as necessary, @ 11.6.
► Join all parts of the mowing area by planning and installing
corridors or secondary areas, @ 11.8 and @ 11.7.
► Plan search loops if you use the "Passage" function
("Offset Drive Home"), @ 11.9.
► Plan locations for reserve wire at several points to make it
easier to subsequently adjust or modify the path of the
perimeter wire, @ 11.13.

When installing the perimeter wire:
► Use only perimeter wire and wire stakes authorized by
STIHL.
► Install the perimeter wire in a continuous loop around the
entire mowing area with a maximum length of 1640 ft.
(500 m).
► If you install the perimeter wire around areas smaller than
120 square yards (100 m²), or if the total length of the
perimeter wire is less than 575 ft. (175 m), the STIHL
Small Area Module AKM 100 (special accessory) must
also be installed, @ 10.4. For more information, contact
your authorized STIHL iMow servicing dealer.
► Maintain the specified wire clearances specified below.
Measure the clearances using the iMow Ruler, @ 11.3.
– Patios and paths with a maximum height difference
between lawn area of +/- 0.4 in. (1 cm): 0 in. (0 cm)
– Corridors: 11 in. (27 cm)
– High obstacles (e.g. walls, fences, trees): 13 in. (33 cm)
– Narrow passages: 21.3 in. (54 cm)
– Swimming pools, ponds and falling edges: 3.3 ft. (1 m)
► Avoid creating angles less than 90°. These will be difficult
for the robotic mower to navigate, and could result in
unmowed areas.
A
► Mowing areas must not overlap. Keep a minimum
distance of a ≥ 3.3 ft. (1 m) between the perimeter wires
of the two mowing areas of neighbor A and neighbor B.
