4. How the robotic mower
works

4.1 Operating principle

The robotic mower (1) is designed for the
automatic mowing of lawns. It mows the
lawn in randomly selected paths.
In order for the robotic mower to detect the
borders of the mowing area A, a
perimeter wire (2) must be routed around
that area. A signal generated by the
docking station (3) flows through this
perimeter wire.
Solid obstacles (4) in the mowing area are
reliably detected by the robotic mower by
means of an impact sensor. Areas (5) that

the robotic mower is not to enter and
obstacles that need to be avoided must be
separated from the mowing area using the
perimeter wire.
When automatic mowing is switched
on, the robotic mower independently
leaves the docking station and mows the
lawn during the active times set
( 10.7). The robotic mower
automatically travels to the docking station
to recharge the battery. The number and
duration of the mowing and charging
operations within the active times are
adapted automatically. This guarantees
that the required weekly mowing duration
is always achieved.
When automatic mowing is switched
off and for mowing operations
independent of the active times, a
mowing operation can be activated using
the command "Start mowing" or "Start
time-delayed mowing". ( 10.5)
