This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation.

Installing a Husqvarna robotic lawnmower involves four main components:

•A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by

essentially operating in a random pattern. The robotic lawnmower is powered by a maintenance-free battery.

•Charging station, where your robotic lawnmower

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 control signals along the guide wire so that the robotic lawnmower can find the charging station.

•To charge the robotic lawnmower battery.

•A transformer, which is connected between the

charging station and a 120V (230 V) wall socket. The transformer is connected to the wall socket and to the charging station using a 33 ft (10 m) long low voltage cable. The low voltage cable must not be shortened or extended.

A 66 ft (20 m) low voltage cable is available to purchase as an accessory. Please contact your dealer for more information.

•Loop wire, laid in a loop around the robotic

lawnmower’s working area. The loop wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and around objects and plants that the robotic lawnmower must not run into. The loop wire is used both as a boundary wire and a guide wire.

The loop wire supplied for the installation is 660 ft (200 m) long (492 ft [150 m] for the Automower® 305). If it is not long enough, more loop wire can be purchased and spliced onto the existing loop wire with an original coupler.

The maximum permitted length for the loop wire is 820 ft (250 m).
