Excluding Obstacles; Enclosing Corridors (01/H); Excluding Downward Slopes; Creating Loops Of Cable (07) - Kärcher RLM 4 Betriebsanleitung

5. Create loops of cable: see chapter 4.5.6
"Creating loops of cable (07)", page 50.
6. After completing the routing of the boundary
cable, connect to the connector (03/b) of the
charging station: see chapter 4.5.1 "Connect-
ing the boundary cable to the charging sta-
tion (03/b)", page 49.
4.5.3

Excluding obstacles

Depending on the surroundings of the working ar-
ea, the boundary cable must be routed at differ-
ent distances to obstacles. Use the ruler that can
be removed from the packaging to determine the
correct distance.
NOTE
Exclusions are only necessary if they
cannot be detected by the bump sensors
of the appliance. Avoid too many or un-
necessary exclusions.
Recesses that are smaller than 6 cm
must be excluded, otherwise the appli-
ance may cause damage.
Distance from walls, fences, beds:
min. 20 cm (01)
The appliance moves along the boundary cable
with an offset of 20 cm to the outside. Therefore,
route the boundary cable at a distance of at least
20 cm from walls, fences, beds, etc.
Distance from terrace edges and paved
paths (05)
If the terrace or path edge is higher than the
grass surface, a distance of at least 20 cm must
be complied with. If the edge of the terrace or
path is at the same height as the grass surface,
the cable can be routed exactly along the edge.
Distance of obstacles from the boundary
cable (01)
If the boundary cables are precisely folded up
away from the obstacle or towards the obstacle,
i.e. distance 0 cm, the appliance moves beyond
the boundary cable. Do not cross the boundary
cables (02/c), but lay them parallel (01/e).

Routing the boundary cable around
corners (06)
■
For inwards going corners (06/a): Route the
boundary cable diagonally to avoid the appli-
ance becoming caught in the corner.
■
For outwards going corners with obstacles
(06/b): Route the boundary cable in a point in
order to avoid a collision of the appliance with
the corner.
■
For outwards going corners without obsta-
cles: Route the boundary cable at an angle of
90°.
4.5.4

Enclosing corridors (01/h)

In the corridor the following distances must be
complied with:
■
Total width: min. 60 cm
■
Distance of the boundary cable to the edge:
20 cm
■
Distance between the boundary cables: min.
30 cm
4.5.5

Excluding downward slopes

Downward slopes that are greater than 45 %
must be excluded with the boundary cable (45 %
= 45 cm downward slopes per 1 m horizontally).
4.5.6

Creating loops of cable (07)

Spare loops of cable should be incorporated at
regular intervals in order to reposition the
charging station or to extend the mowing area
even after the mowing area has been laid out.
Select the number of spare cable loops according
to your own judgement.
NOTE
In the case of spare cable loops, do not
form open loops.
1. Lead the boundary cable around the current
lawn peg (07/1) and then back to the previ-
ous lawn peg (07/3).
2. Then lead the boundary cable to the current
lawn peg again. This creates a loop. The ca-
bles must be close together.
3. If necessary, attach the loop to the ground in
the middle with an additional lawn peg (07/2).
4.5.7

Typical faults in cable routing (02)

■
Spare cable loops of the boundary cable are
not laid in an even, elongated loop (02/a).
■
The boundary cable is not routed properly
around corners (02/b).
■
The boundary cable is crossed over or not
routed clockwise (02/c).
