Adjusting The Departure Angles From The Charging Station - Makita RM350D Instruction Manual

Skillfully combining multiple mower departing points
In addition to starting mowing by departing directly from the charging
station, the Robotic Mower can also move away from the station
along the boundary wire or guide wire for a certain distance and then
start work from that point. By combining multiple departure methods
in accordance with the shape and layout of the work area, you can
avoid overlapping or biased work paths, arrive directly to areas that
are difficult to access by normal navigation, and achieve an even lawn
finish over the entire area.

NOTICE: Dock the Robotic Mower with the charging station
before setting the departure methods.
1.
Press the button on the control panel.
The [Main menu] appears.
2. Select displayed on the screen.
The sub menu appears.
3. Select [Mower departing points].
The menu selection screen appears.
4.
Select the number of the profile to register the departure method.

5. Use the keypad and enter the desired conditions to the option
format fields displayed on the screen.
Option Details
Wire to trace: Select the type of wire that the Robotic Mower is
to trace after departing from the charging station.
Use the /
type. To depart directly from the charging station
without tracing a specific wire, select [--------].
Departure Enter the distance that the Robotic Mower is to
position: move from the station before starting the mowing
work. You can enter a distance of 0 to 800 m.
Probability Enter the probability of executing the set profile as
a percentage.
► Fig.42: 1. Maximum probability value that can be entered
NOTE: The maximum probability value that can be entered for each
profile is displayed to the left of the probability entry field. Enter
a value of the displayed maximum value or less. If a value that
exceeds the range is entered, it is automatically replaced with the
maximum value.
6. Select [Test] and execute test operation before registering the
settings.
Follow the message displayed on the screen and complete the test
operation.
If the test operation results are unsatisfactory, redo the settings.
NOTE: To register the distance setting after test navigation, save
the test report by following the instructions on the screen. Then
press the key to complete the registration after the message
[Saved successfully.] appears. When this registration is complete,
the screen returns to the menu selection screen.
NOTE: The Robotic Mower stops automatically near the mower
departing point after the test navigation. To redo the settings or
register a new profile, manually dock the Robotic Mower to the
charging station again.
NOTE: To skip the test navigation, select [Verify] and register the
setting.
When the message [Saved successfully.] appears, press
the key.
7. Repeat steps (4) through (6) and register up to five profiles as
necessary.

Adjusting the departure angles from the charging
station
[Top menu] > [Main menu] > [Navigation preferences] >
[Departure angles]
Set the departure angles when the Robotic Mower departs directly
from the charging station. Assuming the docking contact point, facing
the charging station, as 0° (12 o'clock), you can set two departure
angle ranges between 90° (3 o'clock) to 270° (9 o'clock) in the clock-
wise direction. You can adjust the execution priority of each departure
angle.
What is the "probability" that determines the
execution priority?
The probability obtained when setting the departure method and
departure angles from the charging station expresses the possibility
of the Robotic Mower prioritizing operation based on the set contents
as a percentage.
For example, if 25% and 75% are entered as the probabilities for
ranges 1 and 2 when setting the departure angles, there is a 25%
probability that the Robotic Mower will depart at an arbitrary angle
within range 1.

The total of the "Probability" setting values is 100%
The Robotic Mower considers the total of the probabilities entered
with the two sub menus [Mower departing points] and [Departure
angles] to be 100%, and appropriately allocates the methods and
angles for departing from the charging station.
For example, if three departure methods are registered with the sub
menu [Mower departing points] and the probability for each is set to
20%, the total probability is 60%. The remaining 40% probability is
allocated to the execution priority of the departure angle ranges 1
and 2 set by the sub menu [Departure angles]. Here, if 50% and 50%
are input as the probabilities for the departure angle ranges 1 and
2, the remaining 40% probability is allocated 50% each for ranges 1
and 2. Therefore, in terms of total probability, the execution priority
of departure angle ranges 1 and 2 are calculated as 20% and 20%,
respectively.
As a result, the Robotic Mower randomly executes the three depar-
ture methods registered with the sub menu [Mower departing
points] and the two departure angles registered with the sub menu
[Departure angles] with a respective probability of 20% each.
1. Press the button on the control panel.
The [Main menu] appears.
2.
Select displayed on the screen.
The sub menu appears.
3. Select [Departure angles].
The option menu appears.
4.
Use the keypad and enter the desired conditions to the option
format fields displayed on the screen.
Exit ranges can be set at between 90° and 270°.
Option Details
Exit range 1: Enter the 1st angle range for the Robotic Mower to
depart from the charging station. (You can also set
just one range.)
Exit range 2: Enter the 2nd angle range for the Robotic Mower
to depart from the charging station.
Probability Enter the probability of the Robotic Mower depart-
ing within each set angle range as a percentage.

angle range) 3. Probability
Setting the departure angles
(1) Use the / /
entry fields to be set.
(2) Use the keypad and enter the angles and probability.
(3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 and enter all the entry fields.
