Check the installation of the perimeter wire
before it is finally secured in place.
(Ö 9.12) Adjustments to the wire routing
are generally necessary in the vicinity of
corridors, confined areas or no-go areas.
Deviations can occur
– if the technical limits of the robotic
mower are reached, for example with
very long corridors or when routing the
perimeter wire in the vicinity of metal
objects or above metal under the lawn
(e.g. water pipes and power supply
lines),
– if the mowing area is structurally altered
for using the robotic mower.
12.1 Planning routing of the perimeter
wire
● Determine the location of the docking
station.(Ö 9.1)
● Either remove obstacles from the
mowing area or include no-go
areas. (Ö 12.9)
● Perimeter wire:
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.(Ö 12.11)
If there is insufficient space to do so,
secondary areas must be
installed. (Ö 12.10)
● Observe the clearances when routing
the perimeter wire (Ö 12.5):
for adjoining areas that can be travelled
on (stepped area height of less than +/-
1 cm, e.g. paths): 0cm
for corridors: 27 cm
for high obstacles (e.g. walls, trees):
33 cm
minimum wire clearance in confined
areas: 54 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. (Ö 12.12)
● Reserve wire:
Reserve wire should be installed at
several points to make it easier to
subsequently change the routing of the
perimeter wire. (Ö 12.15)
12. Perimeter wire
Before routing the
perimeter wire,
particularly prior to initial
installation, read the
entire section and plan the wire
routing in detail.
Perform initial installation using the
installation assistant. (Ö 9.6)
Should you require support, your
STIHL specialist dealer will be
pleased to assist you with
preparation of the mowing area and
installation of the perimeter wire.
The wire clearances specified in
this Instruction Manual are adapted
to routing of the perimeter wire on
the lawn area.
The perimeter wire can also be
buried up to a depth of 10 cm (e.g.
using a cable-laying machine).
Burial in the ground generally
influences signal reception,
particularly if flagstones or paving
stones are laid over the perimeter
wire. The robotic mower may travel
along at a greater offset to the
perimeter wire, requiring more
space in corridors, confined areas
and when travelling along edges.
Adapt wire routing if necessary.
Study the installation examples at
the end of this instruction
manual. (Ö 27.)
Include no-go areas, corridors,
secondary areas, guide loops and
reserve wire during routing of the
perimeter wire in order to prevent
subsequent corrections.
For smaller mowing areas with a
wire length of less than 80 m, the
accessory AKM 100 must be
installed together with the perimeter
wire. (Ö 9.9)
