4.8. Setup in a Non-Base Zone<br />
A Non-Base Zone is an area of the lawn that is not<br />
connected to a Base Station.<br />
A Perimeter Switch should be installed in these areas.<br />
When necessary, the Perimeter Switch can be easily<br />
moved to other zones.<br />
The Perimeter Switch<br />
MUST be Mounted<br />
vertically in order to<br />
maintain its’ water<br />
resistance<br />
4.8.1 Determining the Perimeter Switch Location<br />
Consider the following in order to install the Perimeter<br />
Switch at an optimal location:<br />
• The Perimeter Switch is to be installed outside the<br />
perimeter of the Non-Base Zone.<br />
• Select a dry and sheltered location.<br />
Wires leading from the<br />
lawn to the Perimeter<br />
Switch are adjacent and<br />
touching.<br />
• The Perimeter Switch is to be mounted vertically.<br />
• The Perimeter Switch is supplied with an indoor<br />
power supply. Choose a location close to a regular<br />
power outlet (230V / 120V).<br />
Note – a rechargeable battery for the Perimeter Switch is<br />
available as an accessory (See Chapter 12 – Robomow<br />
Accessories).<br />
4.8.2 Perimeter Switch placing options<br />
• The Perimeter Switch connector is easily connected and<br />
disconnected. It allows for quickly switching from one zone to<br />
another.<br />
• You may use the large stake, attached to the back of the<br />
Perimeter Switch, to easily insert it in and out of the ground.<br />
• You may mount the Perimeter Switch on a vertical surface,<br />
such as a wall or deck railing. Use the three marks on the back<br />
of the Perimeter Switch cover.<br />
4.8.3 Laying out the Perimeter Wire<br />
The perimeter wire setup in a Base and Non-Base Zone are the<br />
same, except for the starting point:<br />
• The Perimeter Switch is placed out of the area (at least<br />
1 meter from the lawn).<br />
Min. 1m (3ft)<br />
• Start lay the Perimeter Wire from the Perimeter Switch location.<br />
