2. PRESENTATION
Working method
Automower
®
automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that
Automower
®
can sense at a distance of 6 - 7 metres.
The mower starts to search for the charging station
when the battery charge becomes too low.
Automower
®
does not mow when it is searching for
the charging station.
When Automower
®
searches for the charging station
it uses one or more of three different search methods:
Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow guide
wire. For more information about the search
methods, see 2.3 Search method on page 13 and
Follow loop in (3-2-2) on page 47.
When the battery is charged the mower reverses,
turns around and leaves the charging station in a
randomly selected direction within the exit sector
90° - 270°.
To make it easier for Automower
®
to reach all parts of
the garden you can manually set how the mower will
leave the charging station, see 6.5 Installation (3) on
page 45.
Automower
®
260 ACX is equipped with ultrasonic
sensors that effectively sense both fixed and
moveable obstacles that get in the mower’s way.
When confronted with an obstacle the mower slows
down to avoid an unnecessarily hard impact. When
Automower
®
body hits an obstacle, the mower
reverses and selects a new direction.
A further two sensors, one at the front and one at the
back of Automower
®
, sense when the mower is
approaching the boundary wire. Automower
®
overruns the wire by up to 27 centimetres before it
turns. The overrun length can be set, see Drive past
wire (3-4-1) on page 51.
The STOP button on the top of Automower
®
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.
