● Either remove obstacles from the
mowing area, or include no-go
areas. ( 12.8)
● Perimeter wire:
The perimeter wire must be routed in a
continuous loop around the entire
mowing area.
Maximum length:
500 m
Minimum length:
70 m
For mowing areas < 40 m² and only
when the red LED on the docking
station signals SOS, the accessory
AKM 100 must be installed
together with the perimeter wire.
● Corridors and secondary areas:
For automatic mowing, join all parts of
the mowing area by means of
corridors. ( 12.10)
If there is insufficient space to do so,
secondary areas must be
installed. ( 12.9)
● Observe the specified clearances
( 12.5):
for obstacles that can be travelled on
(e.g. paths) when routing the perimeter
wire: 0 cm
for corridors: 22 cm
for high obstacles (e.g. walls, trees):
22 cm
minimum wire clearance in confined
areas: 44 cm
or water features and potential sudden
drops (edges, steps): 100 cm
● Corners:
Avoid routing at acute angles (less than
90°).

● Guide loops:
If offset drive home (passage) is to be
used, guide 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. (
– 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. (

● Install the docking station. (
● Route the perimeter wire around the
mowing area and any obstacles
beginning at the docking station
( 12.8) and fasten it to the ground
using fixing pins. Check the clearances
using the iRuler. (
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (
● Connect the perimeter wire. (
12.4 Connecting the perimeter wire
9.8)
● Disconnect the mains plug
and then remove the docking
station cover.
● Insert the perimeter wire into the cable
guides of the floor plate, guide it
9.9)
through the socket, strip the ends and
connect to the docking station.
Follow the instructions in the "Initial
installation" section. (
