Excluding Obstacles - Kärcher RLM 4 Betriebsanleitung

IMPORTANT!
Danger of damaging the
boundary cable
If the boundary cable is
damaged or cut, the trans-
mission of the control sig-
nals to the appliance is no
longer possible. In this
case, the boundary cable
must be repaired or re-
placed. The boundary ca-
bles are available from
Kärcher.
■ Always route the bound-
ary cable directly on the
ground. If necessary,
secure with an addition-
al lawn peg.
■ When laying the bound-
ary cable and during op-
eration, protect the
boundary cable from
damage.
■ Do not dig or scarify in
the vicinity of the bound-
ary cable.
1. Attach the boundary cable at regular intervals
with lawn pegs or route it underground (at a
max. depth of 10 cm).
2. Route the boundary cable around obstacles:
see chapter 4.5.3 "Excluding obstacles",
page 48.
3. Create corridors between individual mowing
areas: see chapter 4.5.4 "Enclosing corridors
(01/h)", page 49.
4. Exclude excessive upward or downward
slopes: see chapter 4.5.5 "Excluding down-
ward slopes", page 49.

5. Create loops of cable: see chapter 4.5.6
"Creating loops of cable (07)", page 49.
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 47.
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.
Distance from walls, fences, beds:
min. 15 cm (01)
The appliance moves along the boundary cable
with an offset of 15 cm to the outside. Therefore,
route the boundary cable at a distance of at least
15 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 15 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°.
