Programming The Return Route To The Charging Base - Stiga A 500 Instruction Manual

NOTE: Do not move the robot lawn mower by hand, any manual handling of the robot lawn
mower requires the initialisation procedure to be repeated.
NOTE: If the charging base has been installed along the edge of the area to be mowed, it is
necessary to guide the robot over the floor of the charging base when programming the virtual
boundaries.
NOTE: To ensure the correct operation of the robot lawn mower, avoid crossovers and/or
overlapping in the virtual perimeter.

4.7.10. PROGRAMMING THE RETURN ROUTE TO THE CHARGING BASE

To facilitate the return of the robot lawn mower to the charging base, it is necessary to programme the
return path following the following specifications:
• The return path must be at least 3 m long.
• The section leading back to the charging base must be at least 3 m long, straight and aligned with
the centre of the charging base (it may coincide with the entire return path).
• The starting point of the return path must be within the virtual boundary at a distance of at least 1
metre from the perimeter in order for the robot lawn mower to reach it independently.
• The end point corresponds to the charging position of the robot lawn mower.
NOTE: Before programming the transfer path to the charging base, it is necessary to programme
the virtual boundaries.
NOTE: Comply with the minimum distances from obstacles and the instructions in Par. 4.4
In some cases it is possible to activate a long reverse manoeuvre (Long Exit) via the app, in which case
the robot mower performs a 2 m reverse manoeuvre before turning 180°. See Par. 4.3.2 for more details.
Procedure:
1. Make sure the virtual boundary of the area where the transfer path begins has been programmed, if
required perform an initialisation.
2. From the "My Garden" menu, select the programmed zone from which the return route to the charging
base should start, select the creation of a new connection and choose "Charging Base".
3. Guide the robot lawn mower with the joystick to the point where you want to start programming.
4. Start recording the return journey to the charging base by pressing the specific button.
5. Guide the robot lawn mower manually using the joystick along the route to be programmed until the
robot connects with the charging contacts.
6. Confirm the recording.
NOTE: Do not move the robot lawn mower by hand, any manual handling of the robot lawn
mower requires the initialisation procedure to be repeated.
NOTE: The charging base can also be installed outside the working area. In this case, the robot
will use the entire re-entry path to return to the charging base and to reach the work area while
running.
NOTE: At the end of programming the return to base route, the robot lawn mower retraces the
entire route in order to check whether the programming was carried out correctly. This step is
necessary for safety reasons and cannot be ignored.
