6. MENU FUNCTIONS

Follow loop in (3-2-2)

This function is used to control how Automower searches for the charging station.

Automower always starts the search for the charging station in an irregular search method. In some gardens this is not sufficient for the mower to quickly find the charging station. The search can then be optimised using the Follow loop in function.

When the mower still can not find the charging station after a specific period of irregular searching, it also starts to search for the guide wires and after a further period also the boundary wire to follow one of them into the charging station instead. This time is stated in minutes, and delays searching for guide 1, guide 2 and the boundary wire.

The delay time can be adapted to the shape of the garden in the Follow loop in function.

Automower has a default delay setting of 7 minutes for guide 1 and guide 2 and 11 minutes for the boundary wire. A delay of 99 minutes means that the function is deactivated.

If both search methods are to be activated, it is possible for example to set 5 minutes for Guide 1 delay and Guide 2 delay and 9 minutes for Boundary delay. Automower then searches irregularly for 5 minutes and then searches for the guide wires for 4 minutes. If by this time it has not found one of the guide wires, the mower will now search for both the boundary wire and guide wires.

If it is not suitable in the installation to follow the boundary wire, 99 minutes should be specified as the delay for the boundary wire.

It is of course possible to specify the same delay time for both the guide wires and the boundary wire, e.g. 5 minutes. Automower then searches irregularly for 5 minutes and when it does not find the charging station, it continues to search either by following the guide wires or the boundary wire, depending on which one it reaches first. Different delay times can also be chosen for guide 1 and guide 2.

The mower does not change the search method: If the mower starts to follow the boundary wire it will not switch to follow a guide wire.
