If your lawn does not match this description, read the next
Sections to find the style of your lawn.
If your lawn is “Main Zone Only”, you can skip to Section 1.4 of
this chapter to determine Base Station location.
1.2.2 Main Zone + Sub-Zone(s) Type Lawn
This type of lawn consists of more than one zone and these
zones are connected by a pass. The pass may be relatively
narrow, but it is wide enough for Robomow to drive through.
In this type of lawns, Robomow will be able to drive itself from
one zone to the other in order to mow the whole area.
If you answer “yes” to all of the following questions, your lawn
is a “Main Zone + Sub-Zone(s)” type lawn:
U Does your lawn has additional zones which are separated from the
Main Zone?
U Is your grass area one continuous area?
U Is there a Narrow Pass that is wide enough for Robomow to drive
through between these zones: 1.2 – 5 meters (4 – 16 ft.)?
U Is this Narrow Pass firm, level and smooth (not stony, sandy or
elevated)?
For example: grass area, sidewalk, firm path, solid ground.
Such additional areas are called Sub-Zones.
You will instruct Robomow to drive through the Narrow Pass in order to
get to a Sub-Zone. It will mow both the Main Zone and its Sub-Zone(s)
one zone at a time.
If your lawn does not match this description, skip to the next
Section 1.3 of this chapter: “Separate Zones”
.
In order to make sure Robomow drive into the Sub-Zone and back, we
have to further examine the lawn area:
P What is the width of the Narrow Pass?
If the pass is 1.2 – 2 m (4 to
6.5 ft.) wide…
If the pass is 2 – 5 m
(6.5 to 16 ft.) wide…
P During Perimeter Wire
setting:
You will follow simple
instructions on how to set
a Narrow Pass.
(See Section 2.2.2 ).
P During One-Time Setup:
You will set Robomow to
work in a Sub-Zone mode.
(See section 3.3.8).
P During Perimeter Wire setting:
You will set the Perimeter Wire
as in a regular Main Zone type
lawn. Robomow can navigate
through the pass without special
wire settings.
