Katrien up to 500m2 With App

Certainly, this is not a problem. As long as the passages are large enough, the surface area does not matter. You can simply set the robot for a shorter duration for 50 or 100m2.

Ensure that the passage width to another lawn is at least 0.8 meters wide. Otherwise, the robot will have difficulty reaching the other lawn.

You can bury the boundary wire slightly, but we advise against this. The boundary cable will automatically become invisible within 1-2 months and will lie deeper and deeper. The deeper it lies, the worse the signal from the cable reaches the mower.

So after a number of years, this could cause problems more quickly. Another reason is that it is useful for installation to first lay out the cable roughly (with few pegs), so you can adjust it more easily so that the edges are properly included. Make sure that the mower blade is in the highest position to avoid cutting through the cable! Once the cable is completely in place, you can secure it further with pegs.

1) The robotic lawnmower can drive through a passage up to 20m long to go to another zone. This must be easily accessible for the robot to pass through.

2) We recommend installing the boundary wire in 0.4+0.4+0.4 m, then the mower will drive on the middle of the boundary wire to enter and exit the alley area. So there must be a minimum width of 1.2m in the passage to be able to do this, otherwise it will not work. Make sure there are starting points from the other side of the lawn, then the mower will go through these two areas. This only works for a paved path. Because the mower does not start mowing this way.

Teun and Katrien are suitable for mowing multiple zones/areas. Important here is;

There must always be 1 large loop. So front and back gardens must be connected with a spacious passage of at least 80 cm between the boundary wires plus 20 cm on both outer sides of the boundary wires. In total, the path must therefore be at least 1.20m wide.

• With the zone layout, you can indicate where on the boundary wire it should enter the field.
• Here you can indicate after how many meters it should enter the field and
• What percentage of the total set mowing time the robot should continue mowing in this section.
• There must be a minimum distance of 0.6 meters between the two fields.

The robot will calculate itself when it will mow which zone. It is not the case that it first does the percentage of the set time for zone 1 and then the percentage of the time in zone 2 (etc.). The robot determines this itself, but will maintain the ratio over a longer period.

The Teun and Katrien are our newest models. The main differences between the robotic lawnmowers are:

• Number of square meters for which the mower is suitable. For lawns/grass fields larger than 600m2 and approximately up to 1400m2, then Betsie is the best choice. If your lawn/grass field is smaller than 600m2, then Dirk (with APP) is the most suitable option. If you have a lawn/grass field up to 500m2, then the Katrien is perfect. Teun, the robotic lawnmower can mow lawns/grass fields up to 300m2.
• The Katrien and Teun have a floating mowing deck, which results in a more even cut.
• The Katrien and Teun can be cleaned with a garden hose. The robotic lawnmower Dirk and Betsie cannot. These can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For Dirk and Betsie, cleaning the robot with a garden hose is not covered by warranty. Water can enter the robot and therefore parts in the robot can become defective. Katrien and Teun are completely waterproof and can therefore be easily cleaned with a garden hose.
• The schedule for Katrien and Teun can be set up in a more extensive way, for example, that it mows the edges on one day and not on another. However, you can set things in the App for Katrien, Betsie, and Dirk, but not for Teun (no App).
• The new mowers (Teun and Katrien ) can better navigate narrower passages (minimum required passage is then 80cm).
• Betsie, Dirk, and Katrien have an App with which you can operate the robotic lawnmower. Teun does not have an App. All robotic lawnmowers can be operated on the display.
• Dirk and Betsie have a noise level of 65 dB, Teun and Katrien have a noise level of 55 dB.
• Finally, the zone / starting point function works slightly differently, but all our robotic lawnmowers can mow different zones.

For our new robotic lawnmowers, Teun and Katrien, it is possible to spray them with a water hose if you want to clean them. However, this is not possible for our robotic lawnmowers Dirk and Betsie.

Teun & Katrien both have a rain sensor. These are 2 metal plates. As soon as it starts to rain, water gets between the plates, causing them to conduct. When that happens, the robot knows it's raining and returns to the charging station. It then waits until the rain on the metal plates has dried and then continues mowing. If you have set a working time for the robot, that time pauses and the schedule resumes when the rain has stopped. So it is possible that the robot finishes later if it rains.

The robot does not react to wet grass. But the robot may also not react to drizzle. Only when water gets between the metal plates does the robot stop mowing and return to the charging station.

Katrien is designed for lawns up to 500 m², ideal for medium-sized gardens.

Yes, thanks to Wifi and Bluetooth, you can control Katrien remotely via the app – wherever you are.

Certainly. In the app, you set where Katrien should start mowing and how much time it should spend per zone.

Katrien effortlessly climbs slopes up to 24° (45%) and always maintains an even cut thanks to the floating mowing deck.

Katrien is equipped with a rain sensor and automatically returns to the charging station when it rains, ensuring she is always ready for the next mowing session.

Yes, Katrien can mow both your front and back garden. As long as the robot can drive there, over grass or a path. The passage from front to back must be 1.2m wide. (0.8m plus the width of the mower). Please note that the boundary wire must be laid between or under the tiles. By setting starting points, the robotic lawnmower will know where to start mowing.

A robotic lawnmower independently mows your lawn within a defined area, indicated by a boundary wire. This wire emits signals so the robot knows where it can go. Thanks to sensors, such as collision detection and, in the case of model Hans, even ultrasonic obstacle recognition, it efficiently avoids objects. When the battery runs low, the robot automatically returns to the charging station via the boundary wire. This way, it is always ready for the next mowing session.

Start at the charging station and lay the boundary wire along the edge of your property. Use the included ruler and manual to determine the correct distance from the edge of your lawn. Don't forget to also mark off obstacles, such as low objects that the robot cannot mow around. Secure the boundary wire with the included pegs and carefully follow all steps in the manual.
