2. PRESENTATION
Working method
Automower ® automatically mows the lawn.
It continuously combines mowing and charging.
The charging station sends out a signal that
Automower
® can sense at a distance of 20 - 23 ft
(6 - 7 meters). The mower starts to search for the
charging station when the battery charge becomes
too low. Automower
® does not mow when it is
searching for the charging station.
When Automower ® searches for the charging station
it uses one or more of three different search methods:
Irregular, Follow boundary wire and Follow guide
wire. For more information about the search
methods, see
2.3 Search method on page 15 and
Follow loop in (3-2-2) on page 52.
When the battery is charged the mower reverses,
turns around and leaves the charging station in a
randomly selected direction within the exit sector
90° - 270°.
To make it easier for Automower ® to reach all parts of
the garden you can manually set how the mower will
leave the charging station, see
6.5 Installation (3) on
page 50.
Automower ® 260 ACX is equipped with ultrasonic
sensors that effectively sensor both fixed and moving
obstacles that the mower is subjected to. When faced
with an obstacle, the mower slows down to avoid
unnecessarily hard collisions. When Automower
®
body hits an obstacle, the mower reverses and selects
a new direction.
Two additional sensors, one on the front and one on
the back of the Automower
® , will sense when the
mower is approaching the boundary wire.
Automower
® overruns the wire by up to
27 centimeters (11") before it turns. The overrun
length can be set, see
Drive past wire (3-4-2) on
page 56.
The STOP button on the top of Automower ® is mainly
used to stop the mower when it’s running. When the
STOP button is pressed a cover opens, behind which
there is a control panel. The STOP button remains
depressed until the cover is closed again. This acts
as start inhibitor.
