11.1 Planning routing of the perimeter
wire
Study the installation examples at
the end of this instruction
manual. ( 26.)
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. ( 9.5)
● Either remove obstacles from the
mowing area, or include no-go
areas. ( 11.8)
● 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. ( 11.10)
If there is insufficient space to do so,
secondary areas must be
installed. ( 11.9)
● Observe the specified clearances
( 11.5):
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
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 in
corridors or in the external docking
station. ( 11.11)
● Reserve wire:
Reserve wire should be installed at
several points to make it easier to
subsequently change the routing of the
perimeter wire. ( 11.14)
Coiled up residual pieces of
perimeter wire can cause
malfunctions and must be removed.
11.2 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. ( 26.)
– 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. (

11.3 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).

routing. ( 11.2)
● Install the docking station. (
● Route the perimeter wire around the
mowing area and any obstacles
beginning at the docking station
( 11.8) 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. (

11.4 Connecting the perimeter wire

● Disconnect the mains plug
and then remove the docking
station cover.
