3. INSTALLATION

3.6 Installation of the guide wire

The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary wire. The same cable roll is used for both the boundary and guide wires.

The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find its way back to the charging station but also to guide the robotic lawnmower to remote areas of the garden.

To ensure an even cut over the entire lawn, the robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire from the charging station to the guide wire connection in the boundary wire and start mowing there. Depending on the garden layout, one should adjust how often the robotic lawnmower is to follow the guide wire from the charging station. See 6.6 Settings on page 51.

The robotic lawnmower runs at varying distances from the guide wire to reduce the risk of tracks forming when the robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire to and from the charging station. The area beside the wire which the robotic lawnmower then uses is called the Corridor.

The robotic lawnmower always runs to the left of the guide wire as seen facing the charging station. Thus the corridor is to the left of the guide wire. The corridor is 50 cm wide. When installing, it is therefore important to have at least 75 cm free space to the left of the guide wire and at least 25 cm free space to the right of the guide wire, as seen facing the charging station.

It is not allowed to lay the guide wire closer than 30 cm from the boundary wire.

The guide wire, as the boundary wire, can be stapled to or buried in the ground.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Make sure that there is always at least 75 cm of free space to the left of the guide wire as seen facing the charging station.

Maximum distance

At least 30 cm/12ft

At least 2m/7ft

R70Li, R40Li specifications

The Gardena R40Li and R70Li robotic lawn mowers represent the cutting-edge in garden maintenance technology, designed to simplify the lawn care process for homeowners. With their sleek design and innovative features, these mowers offer exceptional performance, reliability, and convenience.

The R40Li is suitable for smaller gardens of up to 400 square meters, while the R70Li caters to medium-sized lawns of up to 700 square meters. Both models are powered by a robust lithium-ion battery, providing efficient and quiet operation while ensuring minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment.

One of the standout features of these robotic mowers is their intelligent navigation system. The R40Li and R70Li are equipped with a smart sensor technology that allows them to efficiently map and navigate the garden, avoiding obstacles and adjusting their mowing paths as needed. This ensures that every corner of the lawn is trimmed without missing patches or damaging plants.

Both mowers come with a programmable timer, which allows users to set specific days and times for mowing, ensuring that the lawn is always well-maintained. The rain sensor is another valuable feature, automatically detecting wet conditions and returning to the charging station to prevent unwanted damage to the lawn.

Ease of use is a priority with the Gardena R40Li and R70Li. They are equipped with intuitive controls, allowing users to easily customize settings and manage their mowing schedules. The mow height can be easily adjusted, giving homeowners the flexibility to achieve their desired grass length.

Safety is another critical aspect of these robotic mowers. Both models feature an emergency stop function and a lift sensor that halts operation if the mower is lifted or tilted, providing peace of mind to users with pets and children.

Moreover, the mowers' compact design and highly maneuverable nature allow them to operate in tight spaces and navigate narrow passages with ease. Their durable construction ensures reliability and longevity, making them a worthwhile investment for any garden enthusiast.

In summary, the Gardena R40Li and R70Li robotic lawn mowers provide an excellent combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and efficient performance, making lawn care effortless and enjoyable. With these mowers, homeowners can enjoy a pristine lawn without the time and effort typically required for traditional mowing methods.
