Page 11 Robomow. Soon after settling, the wire will become invisible under the growth of new grass. As soon as Robomow starts operating, it turns on a signal that runs along the Perimeter Wire. This signal keeps Robomow within its working zones and away from preset demarcated areas.
Page 12 Main Zone? U Is your grass area one continuous area? U Is there a Narrow Pass that is wide enough for Robomow to drive through between these zones: 1.2 – 5 meters (4 – 16 ft.)? U Is this Narrow Pass firm, level and smooth (not stony, sandy or elevated)? For example: grass area, sidewalk, firm path, solid ground.
Page 13 U Are parts of your lawn separated by a gravel path or similar material that may damage the mower’s blades? U Are zones of your lawns joined by a pass too narrow for Robomow to drive through: less than 1.2 m (4 ft.) in width?
Page 14 Main Power Box & Base Station Select Base Station Location Robomow’s Base Station is placed along the Perimeter Wire. This is where the wire “loop” starts and ends.

Page 19 The pass must be at least 1.2 m (4 ft.) wide to allow Robomow to drive through it. If the pass is wider than 2 m (6.5 ft.) – there is NO need for any special Perimeter Wire setting.
Page 20 Robomow S models Scan the QR code to watch a comprehensive video on how set a Narrow Pass. Note: most of the measures required during the process are available on the RoboRuler. If the passage is NARROWER than 1.5m and longer then 2m,...
Page 21 Initial Setup If the passage is WIDER than 1.5m: If the Narrow Pass is wider than 1.5m (5 ft.), and you want Robomow to mow the area inside the Narrow Pass, set the wire as shown in the figure below. This setup allows the mower to mow inside the Narrow Pass while mowing the inner part of the lawn, but prevents it from crossing between the zones.
Page 22 Robomow S models Separated Zone(s) If the lawn has one or more zones that are separated and if the mower cannot drive from one zone to the other, an additional setting is required. In such cases, the mower will have to be driven or carried between the zones.
Page 23 P If additional wire is required in order to complete the setup, connect it using the water-proof wire connectors supplied with Robomow. (See Section 9.4 – Splicing the Perimeter Wire). Use only the wire connectors supplied with Robomow. Neither Twisted cables, nor a screw terminal insulated with insulation tape are a satisfactory splice.
Page 24 Robomow S models P Trim the end without the connector to make both of equal length. Remove any excess wire and strip back 5 mm (1/4 inches) of insulation from the wire end. Small flat screwdriver P Insert the end of the wire without the connector into the hole of the other wire’s connector.
