Corridor width (3-2-3)

The Corridor width setting defines the distances from the mower's path to the boundary wire or the guide wire when following these to/from the charging station. The area beside the wires used by the mower is called the Corridor.

A low corridor width value represents a narrow corridor while a high value represents a wide corridor. With a narrow corridor the Automower always runs close to the boundary wire respective guide wire. With a wide corridor the Automower varies how it runs, i.e. close to and further from the boundary wire respective guide wire.

Corridor

3012-496

Corridor width is a relative distance and is stated on a scale from 0 to 20. The lower the Corridor width value the closer Automower follows the boundary wire and/or guide wire.

Different corridor widths can be set for the boundary wire and guide wire.The default setting on Automower is set to a value of 6 for both the boundary wire and guide wire.

The higher the stated Corridor width value, the less risk there is of tracks forming. However, a high corridor value means that Automower may find it difficult to enter passages.

A garden with large open areas should have a wide Corridor, i.e. a high Corridor width value. A garden with passages should have a narrow Corridor, i.e. a low value for the Corridor width.

When the value is set to 0 for the Corridor width, Automower will run along the boundary wire, which means it will run with half the mower inside the loop and half the mower outside. As there are often flower beds, hedges and walls along with the boundary wire Corridor width 0 is not normally recommended. Should you still like to state this value, the boundary wire must lay 16" from solid objects instead of the normal 14".

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The distance at which the mower follows the boundary wire varies depending on how the working area appears. You should perform some tests to find the highest possible Corridor width. Use the Test IN (3-2-4)function to try different values.
