This chapter contains information you should be aware of when planning the installation.

An installation of Automower from Husqvarna™ includes four main components:

Automower, an automatic lawn mower that mows the lawn by moving in essentially an irregular pattern. The mower is powered by a maintenance-free battery.

Charging station, where your Automower returns when the charge level in the battery becomes too low.

The charging station has three functions:

To send control signals along the boundary wire.

To send out signals so the Automower finds the charging station.

To charge the Automower battery.

Transformer, which is connected between the charging station and a 120V wall socket. The transformer is connected to the wall socket via an integrated power cord and to the charging station via a 66 ft long low voltage cable. The low voltage cable must not be extended.

Boundary wire, laid in a loop around the Automower’s working area. The wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around objects and plants that the mower must not run into.

The boundary wire supplied for the installation is

820 ft long. If this is not sufficient more wire can be purchased, with a connector, and spliced onto the existing wire.
