1.2.2 Placing The Perimeter Switch
� The Perimeter Switch connector is designed for quick and easy disconnection that allows
you to easily move the perimeter switch between plots.
� The Perimeter Switch also comes with a large stake that fastens to its back, making transfer from
one plot to another easier by allowing you to disconnect the switch and move it with the stake still
attached (Figure 1.3).
� Another option is to mount the Perimeter Switch onto a vertical surface, such as a wall or deck
railing. There are three small bosses on the back of the switch cover in order to mount it this way.
(Figure 1.4).

1.2.3 Multiple Zones/Areas And Narrow Passages
Mounting the Perimeter Switch using
three mounting bosses on back cover
Your home may require more than one zone to be set up in order for the Robomow to work in all
of your lawn effectively. Where grass areas are not contiguous, or are separated by fences,
sidewalks or other objects, it is required to make each of these a separate zone.
When setting separated zones there are two options to lay the wire:
Option A: All zones are looped together and connected to the Perimeter Switch. Perimeter wire
can be as long as 500 meters (1650ft) in one loop when connected to the Perimeter Switch
(Figure 1.5).
Option B: There are separated zones. The Perimeter Switch can be moved between different
zones (Figure 1.6).
To mow other areas, simply drive or carry Robomow to the area you want to mow and operate it.
In this way, if one zone needs a shorter operating time than another, it can easily be set (Chapter
2.1.1). When this area is completed, drive the mower back for re-charging.
Distance between wires
greater than 1 meter (3ft.)
