Search method 2: Follow boundary wire
Automower runs irregularly until it reaches the boundary wire. The mower then follows the boundary wire in to the charging station.
This search method is best for an installation that has an open lawn with wide passages (wider than about 10 ft) and no, or only a small, island.
The advantage of this search method is that the search times are generally short.
The disadvantage is that tracks can be formed to a |
certain extent in the grass behind the mower. Problems can also arise if there are narrow passages or a large number of islands, for example, bushes. Automower circles an island roughly twice, which can take a long time and create tracks.
Search method 3: Follow guide wire
Automower runs irregularly until it reaches the guide wire. The mower then follows the guide wire in to the charging station.
The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the charging station, out towards a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage and is then connected to the boundary wire. Up to two guide wires can be installed for 230 ACX. For more information, see 3.8 Installation of the guide wire on page 34.
This search method is best for an installation that has numerous or large islands, narrow passages or steep slopes.
The advantage of this search method is that the search times are generally short.
The disadvantage is that the mower can leave tracks in the grass along the length of the guide wire.
