Planning Routing Of The Perimeter Wire - Viking MI 632 Manuel D'utilisation

Check the installation of the perimeter wire
before it is finally secured in place.
( 9.10) Adjustments to the wire routing
are generally necessary in the vicinity of
corridors, confined areas or no-go areas.
Deviations can occur if
– the technical limits of the robotic mower
are reached, for example with very long
corridors or when routing the perimeter
wire in the vicinity of metal objects or
above metal under the lawn,
– if the mowing area is structurally altered
for using the robotic mower.
The wire clearances specified in
this Instruction Manual are adapted
to routing of the perimeter wire on
the lawn area.
The perimeter wire can also be
buried up to a depth of 10 cm (e.g.
using a cable-laying machine).
Burial in the ground generally
influences signal reception,
particularly if flagstones or paving
stones are laid over the perimeter
wire. The robotic mower may travel
along at a greater offset to the
perimeter wire, requiring more
space in corridors, confined areas
and when travelling along edges.
Adapt wire routing if necessary.

12.1 Planning routing of the perimeter
wire
Study the installation examples at
the end of this instruction
manual. ( 27.)
Include no-go areas, corridors,
secondary areas, search loops and
reserve wire during routing of the
perimeter wire, in order to prevent
subsequent corrections.
● Determine the location of the docking
station. ( 9.6)
● Either remove obstacles from the
mowing area, or include no-go
areas. ( 12.7)
● The perimeter wire must be routed in a
continuous loop around the entire
mowing area.
Maximum length: 500 m.
● Corridors and secondary areas:
For automatic mowing, join all parts of
the mowing area by means of
corridors. ( 12.9)
If there is insufficient space to do so,
secondary areas must be
installed. ( 12.8)
● Observe the specified clearances
when routing the perimeter
wire ( 12.5):
for obstacles that can be travelled on
(e.g. paths): 0 cm
for corridors: 27 cm
for high obstacles (e.g. walls, trees):
27 cm
minimum wire clearance in confined
areas: 54 cm
for water features and potential sudden
drops (edges, steps): 100 cm
● Corners:
Avoid routing at acute angles (less than
90°).
● Search loops:
If offset drive home (passage) is to be
used, search loops must be installed for
corridors or for the external docking
station. ( 12.11)
● Reserve wire:
Reserve wire should be installed at
several points to make it easier to
subsequently change the routing of the
perimeter wire. ( 12.14)
Coiled up residual pieces of
perimeter wire can cause
malfunctions and must be removed.
12.2 Making a sketch of the
mowing area
During installation of the robotic
mower and the docking station, it is
recommendable to make a sketch of the
mowing area. A page has been provided at
the start of this Instruction Manual for this
purpose.
The sketch should be modified in the event
of subsequent changes.
Content of the sketch:
– Contour of the mowing area including
important obstacles, borders and any
no-go areas which the robotic mower
must not mow. ( 27.)
– Position of the docking station (
– Position of perimeter wire
After a short while, the perimeter wire is
overgrown and is no longer visible.
Make a note of the routing of the wire
around obstacles in particular. (
