– Position of the wire connectors
After a short while, the wire connectors
used are no longer visible. Their
position should be noted in order to
replace them as required. (
12.3 Routing the perimeter wire
Only use original fixing pins and
original perimeter wire. Installation
kits with the necessary installation
material are available as an
accessory from the VIKING
specialist dealer. (
The routing direction (clockwise or
anti-clockwise) is freely selectable
according to requirements.
Never pull out fixing pins using the
perimeter wire – always use a
suitable tool (e.g universal pliers).
Make a sketch of the perimeter wire
routing. (
12.2)
● Install the docking station. (
● Route the perimeter wire around the
mowing area and any obstacles
beginning at the docking station
(
12.7) and fasten it to the ground
using fixing pins. Check the clearances
using the iRuler. (
12.5)
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (
● Connect the perimeter wire. (
12.4 Connecting the perimeter wire
● Disconnect the mains plug
and then remove the docking
station cover.
130
● Insert the perimeter wire into the cable
guides of the floor plate, guide it
through the socket, attach the
connector and connect to the docking
12.15)
station.
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (
● Install the docking station
cover and then connect the
mains plug.
● Check the wire signal. (
● Check docking. (
If necessary, correct the position of the
18.)
perimeter wire in the area of the
docking station.
12.5 Wire clearances – use iRuler
9.6)
The perimeter wire (1) can be routed
without clearance along obstacles that
9.7)
can be travelled on such as patios and
9.8)
paths. The robotic mower then travels with
one rear wheel outside the mowing area.
Maximum height difference between lawn
area and obstacle: 2 cm
9.8)
13.1)
15.7)
Take care not to damage the
perimeter wire when tending to the
lawn edge. If necessary, install the
perimeter wire at a slight distance
(2-3 cm) from the lawn edge.
Measuring wire clearances with the
iRuler:
To ensure the correct clearance from the
perimeter wire to the edge of the lawn and
to obstacles, the iRuler should be used for
measuring the distances.
A – 10 cm
Increased clearance for routing
the perimeter wire around an
external corner at a high
obstacle. (
9.7)
Wire clearance for funnel-
shaped routing of the perimeter
wire at the start and end of a
corridor. (
12.9)
B – 17 cm
Wire clearance for funnel-
shaped routing of the perimeter
wire at the start and end of a
corridor. (
12.9)
C – 27 cm
Wire clearance in corridors.
Corridors serve to connect
several mowing areas or for bridging
confined areas. (
12.9)
Distance between an obstacle
and the perimeter wire.
