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 />
