4. How the robotic mower
works

4.1 Operating principle

The robotic mower (1) is designed for the
automatic mowing of lawns. It mows the
lawn in randomly selected paths.
In order for the robotic mower to detect the
borders of the mowing area A, a
perimeter wire (2) must be routed around
that area. A wire signal generated by the
docking station (3) flows through this
perimeter wire.
Solid obstacles (4) in the mowing area are
reliably detected by the robotic mower by
means of an impact sensor. Areas (5) that

the robotic mower is not to enter and
obstacles that need to be avoided must be
separated from the remaining mowing
area using the perimeter wire.
When automatic mowing is switched
on, the robotic mower independently
leaves the docking station and mows the
lawn during the active times (
The robotic mower automatically travels to
the docking station to recharge the battery.
If the mow plan type "Standard" is
selected, the robotic mower mows and
charges throughout the entire active time.
If the mow plan type "Dynamic" is
selected, the number and duration of
mowing and charging operations within the
active times are adapted fully
automatically.
When automatic mowing is switched

independent of active times, a mowing
operation can be activated in the "Start"
menu. ( 11.5)
