3. INSTALLATION
3.4 Virtual wire installation
The virtual wire can be installed in one of the following ways:
- Securing the wire to the ground with pegs.
It is preferable to staple down the virtual wire if you want to make adjustments to the virtual wire during
the first few weeks of operation.
- Bury the wire
It is preferable to bury the virtual wire (max depth:
5cm) if you want to detach or aerate the lawn.
If necessary both methods can be combined so one
part of the virtual wire is stapled down and the
remainder is buried.
- Install virtual wire with pegs 1 meter apart. It’s best to use smooth radius corners than sharp angles. See pictures.
- Bury virtual wire below grass and fasten it on the ground with pegs, so that the mower should not cut the wire.
virtual wire
Add pegs to pull the virtual wire down to the ground surface, below the grass tips.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when driv en into ground
. In extreme cases, water the lawn where the pegs will be driven.
OK
- A minimum distances between the front of the charging station and an obstacle is 2 meters. And make sure the distance from corner to front of charging station is at least
2.5 meters. Make sure to lay a 2.5 meters minimum straight-light of virtual wire in front of charging station.
- If a high obstacle, for example a house, wall, fence or other obstacle which is higher than the cutting lawn borders the working area, the virtual wire should be laid at least 40cm from the obstacle. This will prevent mower from colliding with the obstacle.
- If a passage or a ground with same height of cutting lawn, the virtual wire should be laid at least 10cm from the edge.
- A minimum distance between the pool edge of virtual wire is 40cm.
- A minimum distance between two corners is 1meter.
- A maximum distance of the virtual wire to and from the island is 1cm, and fix the two wires with one peg.
- There are two types of set up of the virtual wire around the charging station.
Put the charging station near corner. please take location for reference.
Please make sure to set a straight-line at least of 2.5m in front of charging station. The charging station should be far away from puddle.
- 7 -
3. INSTALLATION
- Use the virtual wire to isolate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains. Run the wire out to the area, route it around the area to be isolated and then back along the same route. If pegs are used, the wire should be laid under the same peg on the return route. When the virtual wire to and from the island with a maximum distance of 1cm, the mower can drive over the wire.
- Care must be taken not to create a corner sharper shorter than 90 degrees when setting up virtual wire.
A corner sharper less than 90 degrees can cause the mower to lose track of virtual wire. We can make greater than 90 degrees corner like follow picture shows.
- If protected obstacles are grouped closely together isolate them individually. Continuous virtual island if obstacles are close to edge, leave them out of the mowing area.
