2. PRESENTATION
Working method
The R40Li automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The mower starts to search for the charging station
when the battery charge becomes too low. R40Li
does not mow when it is searching for the charging
station.
When R40Li searches for the charging station, it first
searches irregularly for the guide wire. Then it follows
the guide wire to the charging station, turns around
just in front of the station and backs into it.
When the battery is fully charged, the mower leaves
the charging station and starts mowing in a randomly
selected direction within the 90˚ to 270˚ exit sector.
To ensure an even cut, even in inaccessible parts of
the garden, the lawn mower can follow the guide wire
out from the charging station to where the guide wire
connects to the boundary wire to begin mowing there.
When R40Li body hits an obstacle, the mower
reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, one at the front and one at the back on
R40Li, sense when the mower approaches the
boundary wire. The R40Li overruns the wire by up to
28 centimetres before it turns back.
The
STOP
button on the top of R40Li 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.
