11 Installing the Perimeter Wire

11.1 Planning the Layout of the Mowing Area

When planning the layout of the mowing area and placement
of the perimeter wire:
► Study the installation examples at the end of this
instruction manual, @ 25. Consider restricted areas,
corridors, secondary areas, search loops and reserve wire
in your planning to prevent or minimize the need for
subsequent re-routing and adjustment of the perimeter
wire.
► Determine the location of the docking station, @ 10.3.
► Remove obstacles from the mowing area and create
restricted areas as necessary, @ 11.5.
► Join all parts of the mowing area by planning and installing
corridors or secondary areas, @ 11.7 and @ 11.6.
► Plan search loops if you use an external docking station or
the offset drive home feature, @ 11.8.
► Plan locations for reserve wire at several points to make it
easier to subsequently adjust or modify the path of the
perimeter wire, @ 11.12.
When installing the perimeter wire:
► Use only perimeter wire and wire stakes authorized by
STIHL.
► Install the perimeter wire in a continuous loop around the
entire mowing area with a maximum length of 1640 ft.
(500 m).
► If you install the perimeter wire around areas smaller than
430 sq. ft. (40 m²) and if the red LED on the docking
station flashes rapidly at intervals, @ 12.1,, the STIHL
Small Area Module AKM 100 (special accessory) must
also be installed. For more information, contact your
authorized STIHL iMow servicing dealer.
► Observe the specified wire clearances for each type of
installation (restricted areas, corridors, etc.). Measure the
clearances using the iMow Ruler, @ 11.3.
0478-131-3045-A
► Avoid creating angles less than 90°. These will be difficult
for the robotic mower to navigate, and could result in
unmowed areas.
► If burying the perimeter wire, place it at a depth of no more
than 3.9 in. (10 cm).
Burying the perimeter wire in the ground may influence
signal reception, particularly if flagstones or paving stones
are laid over the perimeter wire. The robotic mower may
then travel along at a greater offset to the perimeter wire,
requiring more space in corridors, confined areas and when
traveling along edges. Adjust the location and depth of the
perimeter wire if necessary.
NOTICE
Avoid contacting the perimeter wire when de-thatching or
aerating the lawn. Also use caution when operating a line
trimmer near the perimeter wire. De-thatching, aerating and
trimming operations can result in a cut or damaged
perimeter wire. Refer to your sketch of the mowing area and
take special care to avoid the perimeter wire when
performing these operations.

11.2 Making a Sketch of the Mowing Area

STIHL recommends making a sketch of the mowing area
that includes the following:
– The contour of the mowing area including important
obstacles, borders and any restricted areas which the
robotic mower must not mow, @ 25.
– The location and position of the docking station, @ 10.3.
– The location of the perimeter wire and any wire
connectors you have installed, @ 11.
– If you change the dimensions of your mowing area after
the initial setup (by adding sections or moving the
perimeter wire, for example), re-link the iMow to the
docking station (@ 10.6) and run the test edge function
(@ 15.3) to measure the length of the perimeter wire and
develop a new mowing plan.
