SAFETY DEVICES
1. Bumpers
The bumper sensor is activated if the robot strikes a solid object greater than 10 cm (3.94 in.) in height, which stops the movement in that direction and moves backwards to avoid the obstacle.
2. Inclinometer
If the robot works on a slope which is steeper than the maximum limit, or tips over, the robot will stop the cutting blade.
3. Emergency stop switch
Located on the control panel with the word STOP larger than the other commands on the keypad. Pressing this button at any time during operation will immediately stop the movement of the lawnmower robot and the rotation of the blade will stop within 2 seconds.
4. Over-current protection
Each motor (blade and wheels) is monitored continuously during operation for any situation that may cause them to overheat. If this occurs in the wheel motor, the robot will attempt to move in the opposite direction. If the over-current persists, the robot will stop and signal an error. If the cutting blade motor overheats, there are two intervention ranges. If the parameters fall within the fi rst range, the robot will perform the manoeuvres to unblock the cutting blade. If the over-current is below the protection range, the robot will stop and signal a motor error.
5. No sensor signal
If there is no signal on the perimeter cable, the robot will automatically stop.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is a robot designed and built to automatically trim grass in gardens and house lawns at any time of the day or night. It is small, compact, silent and easy to transport.
Depending on the characteristics of the surface to be trimmed, the robot can be programmed to work on more than one area: a primary area and secondary areas (according to the specifi cations of the various models).
During operation, the robot trims the area marked off by the perimeter wire.
When the robot detects the perimeter wire or encounters an obstacle, it changes direction in a random manner and starts mowing again in a new direction.
According to its operating principle random, the robot automatically trims the entire delimited area of the lawn (see fi gure).
The robot is able to recognise the presence of higher and/or thicker grass in an area of the garden and to automatically activate, if considered necessary, the spiral movement for a perfect fi nish. The spiral movement can also be activated by pressing ENTER/MENU while the robot is mowing.
The lawn surface that the robot is able to trim depends on a series of factors, such as:
•
model of the robot and type of batteries installed
•
characteristics of the area (irregular perimeters, uneven surfaces, divided areas, etc.)
•
characteristics of the lawn (type and height of the grass, moisture, etc.)
•
conditions of the blade (level of sharpness, without residuals and deposits, etc.)

To operate in complete safety, make sure the electrical system, which is connected to the power supply unit, is equipped with a well-functioning earthing system.
Important
It is advisable to install the unit in a cabinet for electric components (for outdoor or indoor use), equipped with a key lock, and well-ventilated to maintain a correct air circulation.
Warning – Caution
Make sure only authorised people have access to the power supply.
•
The robot must be able to easily fi nd the charging station at the end of the work cycle, which will also be the starting point for a new work cycle and for reaching any other work areas, hereinafter referred to as “Secondary Areas.”.
•
Position the charging station according to these rules:
-
On level ground.
-
On compact and stable ground with good drainage.
-
Preferably in the area of the longer lawn.
-
In case of sprinklers, make sure the water jets are not directed inside the charging station.
-
Make sure the entrance of the charging station is positioned as shown in the fi gure, so that the robot can enter it by following the perimeter wire in a clockwise direction.
-
There must be a straight area of 200 cm (78.74 ") in front of the base.
•
The charging station must be well fastened to the ground. To prevent a small step from forming at the front of the base, position a small piece of fake grass at its entrance to stop this from occurring. Alternatively, remove part of the grassy surface and install the base fl ush with the grass.
•
The charging station is connected to the power supply unit via a cord that must move away from the charging station on the outside of the cutting area.

RE-ENTRY METHOD TO THE CHARGING STATION
The robot can return to the charging station in two different ways based on what is set in the user menu under the fi eld “Settings – Re-entry to Base.” Use the “On the Wire” method only when there are numerous obstacles inside the garden and near the perimeter wire (within 2 meters). In all other cases it is better to use the “V-METER” method for the quickest re-entry to the charging station.
“Follow wire”. This method of re-entry to the charging station commands the robot to follow the perimeter wire, positioning its wheels on either side of the wire. If this method is activated, there is no need to prepare the “Recall on Wire” as described below.
“V-METER”. By setting this method of re-entry to the charging station, the robot runs along the perimeter wire at an indicative distance ranging from a few centimetres to one meter (3.2 '), touching it every now and again in the curved sections until it recognises the “Recall on the Wire” necessary to properly steer the robot to the charging station or to guide it along narrow sections. Once the “Recall On the Wire” has been recognised, the robot will follow the perimeter wire, positioning its wheels on either side of the wire for a distance of around 10 meters. (33 ').

The “Recall on the wire” not only indicates to the robot that it is near the charging station, but also of a narrow passage or of an arrow for quick re-entry to the charging station. As soon as a “Recall” is recognised, the robot will follow the perimeter wire at low speed, and with more precision for around 10 meters (33 '). It will then return to the “V-Meter” re-entry mode if it does not encounter the charging station or the arrow for quick re-entry.
Follow these instructions to install the “Recall.”
•
The “Recall” is a piece of wire that extends for around 2 m (6.6 ') with a distance of 5 cm (1.96 ") between each wire.
•
The “Recall” must be positioned at a distance of 4 and 10 m. (13.2 - 33 ') in front of the charging the station.
•
The “Recall” must be positioned at a distance of 2.5 m. (8.25 ') in front of any narrow passages.
•
The “Recall” must be positioned in the section in front of the “Quick Re-entry.”
NB: If the robot does not fi nd the charging station within a certain amount of time, it will follow the perimeter wire in “Follow wire” mode.
SETUP OF THE ROBOT’S QUICK RE-ENTRY TO THE CHARGING STATION
Quick re-entry requires a special installation of the perimeter wire that allows the robot to reduce the re-entry path to the charging station. This special installation of the perimeter wire should only be used for gardens where quick re-entry signifi cantly reduces the path and where the perimeter length is greater than 200 meters.
To setup the quick re-entry, position the perimeter wire on the ground so that it forms a triangle with one side of 50 cm (19.7 ") and the other two sides of 40 cm (15.75 ") each, as shown in the fi gure.
As the robot heads back to the charging station with the two wheels on either side of the wire, it intercepts this triangle and stops moving. It then turns approximately 90° towards the inside of the garden and starts moving in the new direction until running into the perimeter wire on the opposite side.
Arrange 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 ") of straight wire behind it.
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.
