Automower from 13
2. Presentation
™
Working method
The Automower automatically mows the lawn.
It
continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that the
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. The
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 loop in and Follow guide wire. For
more information about the search methods, see
2.3
Search method on page 15 and Follow loop in (3-2-2)
on page 55.
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 the Automower to reach all parts
of the garden you can manually set how the mower
will leave the charging station, see
6.5 Garden (3) on
page 51.
When the Automower body hits an obstacle, the
mower reverses and selects a new direction.
Two sensors, at the front and back on the
Automower, sense when the mower approaches the
boundary wire. The Automower overruns the wire by
up to 27
centimetres before it turns. The overrun
length can be set, see
Drive past wire (3-4-2) on
page 59.
