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
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.
• 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 120V(230V) 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.
• 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 1300 ft
(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
820 feet (250 m).
