The new FREELEXO CAM

No, the FREELEXO cam does not require a boundary wire. The lawn edges and obstacles are detected by means of the integrated camera and ultrasonic sensors. 

Only a single guide cable needs to be laid during installation. This is a 5 m² loop of cable that is laid around the charging station for the robot mower to use when docking with the station.

It’s always a good idea not to mow grass in the rain for the health of your grass and soil, which is why the FREELEXO CAM Mower has a rain sensor to ensure the grass and soil stays healthy. The rain sensor will tell the mower it is raining, and then it will stop mowing and return to the charging station.

The robot mower makes 57 dB(A) of noise during operation. This is about the same volume as a normal conversation.

The FREELEXO CAM mower has a low body design means the mower will not allow objects to pass under and it will automatically move away from objects on the lawn.

No, our current FREELEXO CAM model are not compatible with any Apps.

The first time the robot mower is started, it performs an initialisation run, which it uses to assess the quality of the lawn boundary.

The robot mower initialisation will take some time to map your yard and create between 200 to 400 GPS points before it begins to mow. How long this will take depends on your lawn size.

If the robot mower docks with the charging station during the initialisation run, because of a low battery or because the user gives a command to return, the robot mower will resume the initialisation run the next time it is started.

Once the initialisation run is complete, the robot mower will switch on the cutting mechanism and starts mowing the lawn.

Yellow or brown patches in the mowing area can sometimes cause the robot mower to stop because it does not recognise these as grass. In these cases, the camera module checks the lawn again and then decides whether it can continue in this direction or if it should make a turn. A similar effect can occur in autumn due to leaves. To ensure smooth operation and good mowing performance, it is important to remove these from the area to be mowed.

Check the ultrasonic sensors and the camera lenses for dirt. If the robot mower continues to leave the mowing area it may need more of a contrasting border or the border can be more defined by using the magnetic tape.

The robot mower detects leaves and branches as obstacles when its visibility is restricted or as soon as is it can no longer see the grass below. The area to be mowed should therefore always be free of leaves or branches. Scorched or discoloured patches (yellow/brown) can also cause problems for the mower, because it uses the green colour for navigation.

If adjacent green areas such as garden beds and low shrubs are not defined by edging stones or fences, the robot mower may perceive them as part of the mowing area. If the border between such surfaces is insufficient or too narrow, a boundary should be marked there using the magnetic tape supplied.

Clearly recognisable lawn edges can be visible boundaries of at least 30 cm, such as edging stones, paving, bark mulch and gravel.

The magnetic tape serves as a virtual fence. The built-in magnetic sensors of the FREELEXO CAM detect the magnetic tape so it changes direction when it reaches the line. This allows you to exclude areas that it should not enter.

You can use magnetic tape, which is available as an accessory in 10 and 20 m lengths, to mark inadequate or difficult to detect lawn edges to optimally delimit the area of your garden to be mown.

• An outdoor power outlet is required which provides permanent power. The power cable on the charging station is 10 m long. Be careful not to lay the power cable in the mowing area.
• The charging station must be laid on a level surface.
• It must be possible to lay the guide cable around the charging station.
• Place the charging station in a shady place.

You can request a new PIN if you lose it. Please follow the steps below.
Have the receipt and the robotic lawnmower's serial number ready. You will need these to obtain your PIN! 

1. Connect a blank USB stick to the USB port (on the underside of the unit). 
2. Turn on the main switch (ON). 
3. The robotic lawnmower automatically saves the PUK on the USB flash drive and ends the process with a whistling sound. 
4. Remove the USB stick. 4. Read out the data on the USB flash drive on a computer. A text file (*.txt) has been created by the robotic lawnmower. This file contains a PUK, a personal code.
5. Contact Customer Service to obtain your PIN.

The FREELEXO cam robot mower will mow your yard daily and move around your yard in a random pattern and depending on the settings you applied combined with the size of your lawn, it may take a few days to ensure the grass is cut at the same height across your lawn.

For the robot mower to map your yard accurately and mow the grass perfectly it will travel in a random pattern to ensure grass is mowed from various directions and all borders are continuously checked keeping lawn mapping up to date.

There are some reasons for this, but the most likely is that the quality of the grass is not enough for the robot mower to find a path to the healthy grass, or the mower has lost traction as the soil is wet. The robot mower is essentially telling you that there is a problem with your lawn. To check this, turn the mower off underneath the mower and relocate to an area that has healthy green grass and plenty of traction. Turn your robot mower on and if the problem persists, contact Customer Service on AU 1800 069 486 NZ 0508 069 486.

Registration not only gives you an extra year repair warranty it will help us contact you with any new firmware updates to keep your mower learning your yard to the best of its abilities.
