Buried wire
1. Dig up the ground in a regular and symmetrical manner with respect to the line traced on the ground.
2. Position the wire in a clockwise direction along the entire length of the track at a depth of a few centimetres (around 2÷3 cm (0.7874÷ 1.1811
")) so as not to reduce the quality and intensity of the signal picked up by the robot.
3. During the laying of the wire, if necessary, secure it in some points with the pegs provided in order to hold it in place when covering with the
dirt.
4. Cover the wire with the dirt and make sure it does not twist, but remains straight, and make sure the curved sections are regular.
Important
In sections of the path where it is necessary to pass two
parallel wires (for example, to mark the boundary of a
fl owerbed), they must be laid on top of each other at a
minimum distance of 1 cm (0.40 inches).

Joining of the perimeter wire.
Important
A buried wire or a wire laid on the ground can be joined to
other wires having the same characteristics (see fi gure).
When joining the two wires, make sure to use self-sticking
tape (for example, 3M Scotch 23). Do not use insulating
tape or any other type of joining devices (wire terminals,
clamps, etc.).

SETUP OF THE ROBOT’S QUICK RE-ENTRY TO THE CHARGING STATION
To reduce the time for the robot’s re-entry to the charging station, setup the perimeter wire so that the robot can easily change direction. In this
way, the robot’s re-entry route is reduced. To setup the quick re-entry route, position the perimeter wire along the path so that it forms a triangle
with one side equal to 50cm (19.7 ") and two sides equal to 40 cm (15.75 ") each. Setup the wire for quick re-entry in a point where there is at
least 200 cm (78.74 ") of straight wire in front of the station and at least 150 cm (59.05 ") behind. Do not set up the wire along the straight section
immediately in front of the charging station or near any obstacles. Make sure there are no obstacles along the re-entry path that may
obstruct the quick re-entry.
Important
An incorrect setup of the robot’s quick re-entry may
prevent the robot from returning to the charging station
quickly. When the robot travels along the perimeter to
reach a secondary area, it may not detect the quick re-
entry setup.
The illustration provides some useful tips on how to correctly setup the
robot for a quick re-entry.
