2.3 Search method
Automower™ can be set to search for the charging
station in three different ways. Using the setting
options the three search methods can be combined to
optimize the search for the charging station. The
required search method or methods depends on the
shape of the garden.
Search method 1: Irregular
Automower™ runs irregularly until it finds the
charging station.
This search method is best for an installation that has
an open lawn and no narrow passages (narrower
than about 10 ft (3 metres)).
The advantage of this search method is that there is
no risk of leaving tracks in the grass after the mower.
The disadvantage is that the search times can be
somewhat longer.
Search method 2: Follow boundary wire
Automower™ runs irregularly until it reaches the
boundary wire. The mower then follows the boundary
wire in to the charging station.
This search method is best for an installation that has
an open lawn with wide passages (wider than about
10 ft (3 metres)) and no, or only a small, island.
The advantage of this search method is that the
search times are generally short.
The disadvantage is that tracks can be formed to a
certain extent in the grass behind the mower.
Problems can also arise if there are narrow passages
or a large number of islands, for example, bushes.
Automower™ circles an island roughly twice, which
can take a long time and create tracks.
