RL1000 - New for 2006 (Added Rain Sensor and Back-Lit Display). RoboMower is the ultimate in mowing convenience. It is a fully automatic lawn mower, designed to mow your lawn completely by itself. All you have to do is simply press a button and with the RL1000 model, the user doesn’t even have to lift a finger. It is designed for domestic (consumer) lawns and can handle any garden that a traditional gas or electric walk mower can handle, irrespective of the shape and slopes of the garden, obstacles and type of lawn. It features a battery powered three blade, 21 inch powerful cutting system equivalent to a 5.5 HP gas mower. RoboMower is a dedicated mulching mower that mulches better than a traditional mower thanks to it’s Triple-Chamber-Mulching system and the 5800-RPM blade speed, double that of a typical gas mower. Grass is cut into very small clippings that are buried in the roots of the lawn, where they decompose and act like a natural fertilizer. This results in a healthier and better-looking lawn, and eliminates the need to collect and remove the clippings. How does it work?RoboMower requires a one time simple set-up, which can be easily done by the consumer himself. A standard electric wire is laid around the outer edges of the lawn, and attached to the surface of the lawn with pegs every few meters. The wire and pegs are supplied with the unit in the same box. The wire is connected to a small battery powered current source called the Perimeter Switch (also supplied in the box). Typically the wire will be covered by grass and become unnoticeable in a matter of 2-3 weeks. RoboMower recognizes the wire using a special sensor, and makes sure it always stays inside. RoboMower is operated by pressing the green “Go” button on the unit. It travels on the lawn in a systematic criss-cross pattern covering the lawn several times from side to side to ensure that the entire yard is covered and the grass is cut from several angles. With the RL1000 and its Docking Stations, it’s even easier! After completing the one-time set-up of wire around the lawn including the Docking Station, set the weekly program and forget about mowing for the entire season! The RoboMower will automatically depart at the day and time scheduled and automatically return to the Docking Station to recharge and get ready for the next scheduled operation. The weekly program can be re-set at any time, if and when required. The Docking Station has a built-in perimeter switch that will turn on automatically when RoboMower is scheduled for operation. At the end of each operation, when the RoboMower returns to the Docking Station, the perimeter switch will turn itself off.RoboMower is provided with an integral manual controller that is used to drive the unit from the storage area to the lawn before operation and back to storage after operation. The manual controller also allows the user to use RoboMower as a manual mower in order to cut areas of the grass that could not be reached in the
