  • Page 22: The Lawn Mowing Boundary

    SETUP & PREPARATION (cont.) SETUP & PREPARATION 4. THE LAWN MOWING BOUNDARY The robot lawn mower uses the camera unit to check the boundaries of the mowing area. The camera unit analyses the mowing area lying ahead of it (approx. 1m²). If the robot lawn mower comes up against a boundary of the mowing area, it can use various parameters to determine a boundary quality value.
  • Page 23 • Lawn Boundary with Water: The robot lawn mower will recognise the lawn boundary as described above. However where there is water involved, we recommend protecting the boundary with a raised edge or magnetic tape. > 500mm • Raised Edge 250mm or Higher: The mower will detect the raised object with a minimum height of 250mm using it’s distance or collision sensors.
  • Page 24 SETUP & PREPARATION (cont.) SETUP & PREPARATION SETUP & PREPARATION (cont.) SETUP & PREPARATION (cont.) 4. THE LAWN MOWING BOUNDARY (cont.) • Raised Edge 100mm or Higher: The robot lawn mower can use the collision sensors to collide with obstacles below 250mm. This function can also be used to define a lawn boundary.
  • Page 25 Preparing Your Lawn Boundary 1. Start at any point of the lawn boundary and examine the boundary quality based on step 2 below. Follow the boundary line until you arrive back at your starting point. Look for over hanging flowers, plants or branches that may obscure the line of sight of the robot mower and some pruning may be required.
