Introduction
The present document covers Robotic Mowers with Inductive loop systems (RMI) using the frequency range below
148,5 kHz. An RMI system includes:
• RMI docking station: charging stations for the robotic mower and the signal generator/antenna connecting
point for the signals on the integral antenna and boundary wire.
• Robotic Mower: receiving part inside the RMI.
• Boundary Wire: user installed antenna.
The present document is structured as follows:
• Clauses 1, 2 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document
and the definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations used.
• Clause 4 provides the technical requirements specifications, limits and conformance relative to transmitter and
receiver.
• Clause 5 specifies the conditions and information for testing of the equipment and interpretation of the
measurement results.
• Clause 6 specifies the required measurement methods.
• Annex A (informative) provides the relationship between the present document and the essential requirements
of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.3].
• Annex B (normative) provides necessary information on used test sites and procedures.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Robotic Mowers with
Inductive loop systems (RMI) operating within the frequency range 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz.
The present document covers the following RMI systems:
• RMI1 systems: RMI systems without receive only mode
• RMI2 systems: RMI systems with receive only mode
NOTE 1: In RMI1 systems the robotic mower is not able to restart automatically if the boundary signal comes back
after the loss of the boundary signal (safe mode, see clause 4.2.2.3), while in RMI2 systems the robotic
mower is able to restart automatically after the boundary signal is back. This differentiation has been
introduced to cover receiver spurious emissions for RMI2 systems.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Permitted range of operation
Permitted range of operation
Transmit 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
Receive 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
NOTE: It should be noted that the frequency range between 9 kHz and
148,5 kHz is EU wide harmonised for inductive Short Range
Devices according to EC Decision 2017/1483/EU [i.2].

NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in Annex A.
The present document only covers RMI systems with antenna sizes smaller than 1,67 km, see
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.1], Annex 9.
NOTE 3: The antenna size is described by the distance between those two points on the antenna that have the
largest distance between them (e.g. for a rectangle shaped antenna the largest diagonal; for a circular
shaped antenna the diameter).

point for the signals on the integral antenna and boundary wire.
• Robotic Mower: receiving part inside the RMI.
• Boundary Wire: user installed antenna.
The present document is structured as follows:
• Clauses 1, 2 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document
and the definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations used.
• Clause 4 provides the technical requirements specifications, limits and conformance relative to transmitter and
receiver.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Robotic Mowers with
Inductive loop systems (RMI) operating within the frequency range 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz.
The present document covers the following RMI systems:
• RMI1 systems: RMI systems without receive only mode
• RMI2 systems: RMI systems with receive only mode
NOTE 1: In RMI1 systems the robotic mower is not able to restart automatically if the boundary signal comes back
after the loss of the boundary signal (safe mode, see clause 4.2.2.3), while in RMI2 systems the robotic
mower is able to restart automatically after the boundary signal is back. This differentiation has been
introduced to cover receiver spurious emissions for RMI2 systems.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Permitted range of operation
Permitted range of operation
Transmit 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
Receive 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
NOTE: It should be noted that the frequency range between 9 kHz and
148,5 kHz is EU wide harmonised for inductive Short Range
Devices according to EC Decision 2017/1483/EU [i.2].

NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in Annex A.
The present document only covers RMI systems with antenna sizes smaller than 1,67 km, see
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.1], Annex 9.
NOTE 3: The antenna size is described by the distance between those two points on the antenna that have the
largest distance between them (e.g. for a rectangle shaped antenna the largest diagonal; for a circular
shaped antenna the diameter).

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Robotic Mowers with
Inductive loop systems (RMI) below 148,5 kHz.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Permitted range of operation
Permitted range of operation
Transmit 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
Receive 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
NOTE: It should be noted that the frequency range between 9 kHz and
148,5 kHz is EU wide harmonised for inductive Short Range
Devices according to EC Decision 2017/1483/EU [i.2].

NOTE 1: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in Annex A.
The present document only covers RMI systems with antenna sizes smaller than 1,67 km, see
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.1], Annex 9.
NOTE 2: The antenna size is described by the distance between those two points on the antenna that have the
largest distance between them (e.g. for a rectangle shaped antenna the largest diagonal; for a circular
shaped antenna the diameter).

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Robotic Mowers with
Inductive loop systems (RMI) below 148,5 kHz.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Permitted range of operation
Permitted range of operation
Transmit 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
Receive 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
NOTE: It should be noted that the frequency range between 9 kHz and
148,5 kHz is EU wide harmonised for inductive Short Range
Devices according to EC Decision 2017/1483/EU [i.2].

NOTE 1: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in Annex A.
The present document only covers RMI systems with antenna sizes smaller than 1,67 km, see
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.1], Annex 9.
NOTE 2: The antenna size is described by the distance between those two points on the antenna that have the
largest distance between them (e.g. for a rectangle shaped antenna the largest diagonal; for a circular
shaped antenna the diameter).

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Robotic Mowers with
Inductive loop systems (RMI) below 148,5 kHz.
The present document covers the following RMI systems:
• RMI1 systems: RMI systems without receive only mode of the robotic mower
• RMI2 systems: RMI systems with receive only mode of the robotic mower
NOTE 1: In RMI1 systems the robotic mower is not able to restart automatically if the boundary signal comes back
after the loss of the boundary signal (safe mode, see clause 4.2.2.3), while in RMI2 systems the robotic
mower is able to restart automatically after the boundary signal is back. This differentiation has been
introduced to cover receiver spurious emisisons for RMI2 systems.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Permitted range of operation
Permitted range of operation
Transmit 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
Receive 100 Hz to 148,5 kHz
NOTE: It should be noted that the frequency range between 9 kHz and
148,5 kHz is EU wide harmonised for inductive Short Range
Devices according to EC Decision 2017/1483/EU [i.2].

NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in Annex A.
The present document only covers RMI systems with antenna sizes smaller than 1,67 km, see
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.1], Annex 9.
NOTE 3: The antenna size is described by the distance between those two points on the antenna that have the
largest distance between them (e.g. for a rectangle shaped antenna the largest diagonal; for a circular
shaped antenna the diameter).
