Suitable for lawns up to 16,000 SF
The RL1000 is the ultimate RL series mower to be introduced for 2004. Not only does it include all of the great features on the RL850, it also includes a docking station and system for true automation. Simply select the day and times you want the lawn mowed and the RL1000 will do it automatically for you, day after day and week after week, truly the most efficient way to keep your lawn maintained. The RL1000 still includes all the same functionality as before, manual trim mowing and the ability to drive it anywhere and even use it in other smaller areas without the docking station.
Some unique features are:
The RL1000 can be programmed to operate on a pre-selected day and time for the entire season. The RL1000 can enter the lawn consecutively from as many as four pre-selected points along the perimeter to increase efficiency.
The RL1000 departs and returns on a schedule you select, never a need to start it or return it for recharging.

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 feet. The wire is connected to a small battery powered current source called the Perimeter Switch. 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 button on the unit. It ravels on the lawn in a systematic chris-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 RL100 and its docking station, it is even easier! After completing the one-time set-up of wire around the yard, 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 returns to the docking station to recharge and get ready for the next scheduled operation. The weekly program can be reset at any time, if and when required.
The docking station has a built-in perimeter switch that will turn on automatically when the 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 automatic operation if necessary. While in storage, the unit is connected toits charger in order to recharge the battery. Recharging typically takes 24 hours, so the RoboMower is ready to run the next day. Typically, however, customers run the unit as often as they used to cut their grass with a conventional mower, i.e. once or twice per week.
