Initial setup and installation

3 options
A – System overview

The Husqvarna EPOS® system includes a robotic lawn mower, a charging station, and a reference station. The mower and reference station receive satellite signals for positioning. The reference station is stationary and sends correction data to ensure accurate positioning. The work area is created virtually in an app by adding waypoints to make a map.

  5. Charging station
  6. Virtual boundary
  7. Stay-out zone
  8. Work area
  9. Mobile device
  10. Docking point
  11. Transport path

To complete the map installation, you need a work area and a charging station:

  • The work area is where the mower operates and cuts grass, defined by virtual boundaries.
  • The charging station can be inside or near the work area, connected by a transport path. The mower automatically follows along this path without mowing.

Stay-out zones can be created to prevent operation in certain areas, defined by virtual boundaries. A maintenance point can also be set where the mower is parked when not in use.

B – Connectivity

  2. Set up the reference station: Follow the operator manual to install the reference station.
  3. Install the charging station: Set up the charging station in the desired location.
  4. Pair the mower with the app: Connect the robotic lawn mower to the Automower® Connect app.
  5. Pair the mower with the reference station: Connect the mower to the reference station via the app.
  6. Pair the mower with the charging station: This will establish the docking point in front of the charging station.
  7. Define the work area: Use appDrive to operate the mower clockwise around the work area, adding waypoints in the app.
  8. Define stay-out zones: Use appDrive to operate the mower counterclockwise around the stay-out zones, adding waypoints in the app.
  9. Set the transport path: Start in the work area and use appDrive to define the transport path from the work area to the charging station docking point, adding waypoints as needed in the app. Once the path is complete, save it to connect it to the docking point.
  10. Set the maintenance point: Start at the maintenance point and use appDrive to create a path to the charging station, adding waypoints in the app. Save to connect the maintenance point to the docking point.
  11. Adjust schedule and settings: Use the app to fine-tune the mower's schedule and settings.

Mowing patterns Web 3x2 w captions Master

Systematic mowing patterns

Selectable systematic mowing patterns are available to achieve your preferred aesthetic, including: Parallel, Checkerboard, Diamond, Triangle, and Rotation designs. These patterns can easily be set and customised in the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ app, offering flexibility and convenience in tailoring the look of your turf.

For complex areas with many obstacles or narrow passages, it is recommended to use a mix of mowing angles, such as Triangle or Rotation patterns.

Note: Systematic mowing patterns will be available for the Automower® 535 AWD EPOS® robotic mower with a mid-season software update in 2025.

Scheduling Robotic Mower in App White Background

Scheduling

It is recommended to set a schedule for when the mower should operate and when it should not in the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ app.

Out of the box, the mower will operate on a 24/7 schedule. When mowing in a systematic pattern, each designated work area will be completed one by one. Areas are mowed once daily, depending on the set schedule. If a work area is not finished on the first day, the mower will resume from where it left off and complete it the following day.

Note: It’s recommended to maintain flexibility with the mowing schedule, and only restrict the mower’s operation when absolutely necessary.
