• 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 epitomized 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
wire 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 the guide wire and 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 the guide wire 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
delay and 9
minutes for Boundary delay.
Automower then searches irregularly for
5
minutes and then searches for the guide wire
for 4
minutes. If by this time it has not found the
wire, the mower will now search for both the
boundary wire and guide wire.
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 wire and 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 wire or the boundary wire,
depending on which one it reaches first.
