This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation.
An installation of Husqvarna Automower® includes four main components:
•The Automower® is a robotic lawn mower that
mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern. The mower is powered by a
•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.
• Sending control signals in the guide wire so that Automower® can find the charging station.
•To charge Automower® battery.
•Transformer, which is connected between the
charging station and a 230V wall socket. The transformer is connected to the wall socket and to the charging station using a 10 m long low voltage cable. The low voltage cable must not be shortened or extended.
•Wire, laid in a loop around Automower® working
area. The boundary wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around objects and plants that the mower must not run into. The wire is also used as the guide wire.
• The wire supplied with the installation is 150 m long. If this is not sufficient more wire can be purchased, with a connector, and spliced onto the existing wire.
The maximum permitted length for the loop wire is 250 m.
