LawnMaster OcuMow™ 200 Series Robot Lawn Mower with Optical Navigation, VBRM601YCM

OcuMow™ is designed for small yards less than 2,000 square feet in size.

The OcuMow mows up to 1,000 square feet on a single 3-hour charge, however, this may vary due to factors such as terrain, slopes, etc.

The OcuMow uses a camera combined with two ultrasonic sensors to navigate around your garden. The camera detects the difference between surface textures and colors, for example grass or paving, and the ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles higher than 6", such as plants, garden furniture, walls and fences meaning there is no need for a boundary wire. To keep the mower within the lawn area, your lawn must be bordered on all sides by a visually distinctive border. This can be a flat border of paving, gravel or wooden boards, or a raised edge such as border edging, walls or fences. The mower can detect some edges that are not distinctive however for best and correct operation making your borders clearly defined will improve edge detection and allow the robot to work correctly. Where a visually distinctive border is not available (e.g. on adjoining lawns), No Go Magnetic strip can be placed to form a virtual boundary which the mower cannot cross.

No – OcuMow is ready to go out of the box! There is no need for an outdoor power socket or app setup. Simply set the mower on an appropriately sized lawn, push the start button, and let it get to work.

A clearly defined edge around the full perimeter of your lawn, such as paving or gravel, or a raised edge at least 2.3-inches high is required to prevent the mower leaving the grass. The OcuMow also comes with 30-feet of magnetic strips that can be used to create a virtual fence within your yard. Set up is easy with no power source or digging required and prevents the robot mower from entering any forbidden areas.

If the mower cannot recognize a clearly defined lawn edge, it may not stay within the lawn area. Bare earth borders which can become weedy, or flower borders with low plants can be interpreted as grass by the Optical Grass Recognition (OGR) software. For this reason, we recommend that either raised edges, a hard border of paving, No Go magnetic strip, or walls and fences are the best options around the lawn.

The OcuMow works with our MX 24V 4.0Ah battery system. The mower will cover 1,000 square feet on a single charge. Lawn coverage can be increased with additional batteries (sold separately).

Our robot mower uses a random cutting pattern to ultimately leave your yard completely even.

OcuMow is capable of handling inclines of up to 35% (19° slope).

Our robot mower uses sensors and a wide angle, high range camera to detect obstacles and automatically re-direct the mower to avoid obstacles as small as 6-inches.

Unlike traditional robots the OcuMow is designed to Drop and Mow. The mower is designed to be placed on the lawn once or twice a week and will mow for up to 3 hours on a single charge covering 1000 square feet. The mower should be stored away in a dry place between uses.

The mower stops approximately 10–20cm away from the edge of the lawn, meaning some grass will remain uncut. This can easily be taken care of with a grass trimmer. Lawn edges should be kept neatly trimmed so that the OcuMow can easily see the edge of the lawn.

OcuMow is rated IPX4 weather resistant and is not recommended to mow while raining.

The OcuMow™ requires good light in order for the camera to function, therefore, this mower should only be used in the daytime. The robot will not operate outside daylight hours.

The grass is cut using three small sharp blades and the clippings are returned to the lawn surface where the nutrients contained in them fertilize the soil. This means stronger, healthier grass with less need for supplemental fertilizer and has the added bonus of helping the lawn retain water in dry periods. It also means no grass clippings to dispose of or compost. Provided that the OcuMow is used regularly (i.e., once or twice a week) the clippings are not visible to the eye.

Yes! Extra 24V batteries can be purchased here.

When enabled, a unique PIN code is required to start the mower.

To set your code, press and hold down the Spiral Mow Button (Security Setting Button 2) and START/ON button (Security Setting Button 4) simultaneously for 3 seconds. You will hear two beeps and the UNLOCK Indicator is red continuous. Within 10 seconds, enter a four-digit number of your choice with the 1-4 Buttons to use as your personal security code. Press the STOP button to confirm. The UNLOCK Indicator is green flashing. Within 10 seconds, enter the four-digit number of your security code again. Press the STOP button to confirm. The UNLOCK Indicator is green continuous. The security code is set successfully.

The OcuMow has a safety key which can be removed to prevent children starting the mower unsupervised. Safety sensors stop the blades if the mower is lifted or flips over. The mower is also equipped with ultrasonic sensors which will avoid obstacles higher than 6". We recommend that children and pets are not left unsupervised with the mower while it is operating.

It is possible to use the OcuMow on lawns with a pond, however it is strongly recommended that the pond is surrounded by a raised barrier to safeguard against the mower falling in. We recommend either a raised edge or a paved border at least 3 feet wide surrounding the pond. Water damaged mowers are not covered under guarantee.
