Working method

Automower® automatically mows the lawn.

It continuously combines mowing and charging.

The charging station sends out a signal that Automower® can sense at a distance of 6 - 7 metres. The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low. Automower® does not mow when it is searching for the charging station.

When Automower® searches for the charging station it uses one or more of three different search methods: Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow guide wire. For more information about the search methods, see 2.3 Search method on page 13 and Follow loop in (3-2-2)on page 47.

When the battery is charged the mower reverses, turns around and leaves the charging station in a randomly selected direction within the exit sector 90° - 270°.

To make it easier for Automower® to reach all parts of the garden you can manually set how the mower will leave the charging station, see 6.5 Installation (3) on page 45.

Automower® 260 ACX is equipped with ultrasonic sensors that effectively sense both fixed and moveable obstacles that get in the mower’s way. When confronted with an obstacle the mower slows down to avoid an unnecessarily hard impact. When Automower® body hits an obstacle, the mower reverses and selects a new direction.

A further two sensors, one at the front and one at the back of Automower®, sense when the mower is approaching the boundary wire. Automower® overruns the wire by up to 27 centimetres before it turns. The overrun length can be set, see Drive past wire (3-4-1)on page 51.

The STOP button on the top of Automower® is mainly used to stop the mower when it’s running. When the STOP button is pressed a cover opens, behind which there is a control panel. The STOP button remains depressed until the cover is closed again. This acts as start inhibitor.
