Garden pool and swimming pools.
Obviously, the robot lawn mower cannot withstand getting under water. If the garden pool
or swimming pool does not have a high edge as in the picture (at least 10 cm), you must
make an island around them using the
boundary wire, or alternatively put a
fence around the pool.
If you use the boundary wire to protect
these, it is important that the distance to
the water's edge is increased from the
normal >20 cm to 1 meter, to prevent the
robot from slipping over the edge in wet
weather conditions.
Note
Do not lay the boundary wire over a regular power cable. The electric field in the power
cable can interfere with the signal in the boundary cable! When obstacles are to be
avoided using the boundary wire, it is important that the cable does not cross itself, as the
robot lawn mower will not be able to follow the right direction if it is crossed.
Corridor
If the mowing area has a narrow corridor, there are certain minimum dimensions that must
be followed for the robot to run optimally. The length should be a maximum of 8 meters if
the width is only 0.8-1 m. And in general, the corridor should not be narrower than 0.8 m
anywhere. Driving in narrow corridors consumes more power, as it must turn many times.
If the corridor is narrower than 0.8 meters, the robot cannot maneuver properly around
there, and the area must be removed from the cutting area using the boundary wire.
