Automower Without Perimeter Wire: Revolutionary Lawn Care with Husqvarna EPOS™ Technology

Discover the next generation of robotic lawn mowers that operate without traditional boundary wires. Husqvarna's EPOS™ technology revolutionizes lawn care, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency for homeowners and professionals alike.

What is an Automower Without Perimeter Wire?

An automower without perimeter wire uses advanced satellite technology instead of physical boundary wires to navigate your lawn. Husqvarna's EPOS™ (Exact Positioning Operating System) enables precise lawn mowing without the need for traditional perimeter installations, marking a significant leap forward in robotic mowing technology.

Key Benefits of Wire-Free Automowers:

• No need for physical boundary wire installation, saving time and effort
• Easily adjustable virtual boundaries via smartphone app for flexible lawn management
• Increased flexibility for changing lawn layouts or seasonal adjustments
• Reduced installation time and lawn disruption, preserving your garden's aesthetics
• Ability to mow multiple separated areas without physical connections
• Improved navigation around obstacles and complex garden layouts
• Easy scalability for larger properties or commercial spaces

How Does an Automower Without Perimeter Wire Work?

Husqvarna's wire-free automowers use EPOS™ technology to create virtual boundaries and navigate your lawn with precision. This innovative system combines satellite technology with a fixed reference station to ensure accurate positioning and efficient mowing patterns.

The EPOS™ System Components:

1. Reference Station Setup: A weatherproof reference station is installed in your garden, providing a fixed point for satellite navigation. This station needs to be mounted at a minimum height of 2 m (6.6 ft) with an open view of the sky.
2. Robotic Mower: Equipped with EPOS™ technology, the mower uses satellite signals and the reference station to determine its precise location on your lawn.
3. Automower® Connect App: This smartphone application allows you to create and manage virtual boundaries, set mowing schedules, and monitor your mower's performance.

Setting Up Your Wire-Free Automower:

• Reference Station Placement: Install the reference station in a location with a clear view of the sky, ensuring optimal satellite reception.

• Charging Station Setup: Position the charging station in an open area with good sky visibility, connected to a power supply.

• Virtual Boundary Creation: Using the Automower® Connect App, drive the mower around your lawn to create virtual boundaries. This process allows you to define work areas, stay-out zones, and transport paths.

• Mowing Schedule Configuration: Set up your preferred mowing schedule through the app, tailoring it to your lawn's specific needs.

Systematic Mowing: A Key Feature of Wire-Free Automowers

Systematic mowing is a standout feature of Husqvarna's automowers without perimeter wire, offering several advantages over traditional random mowing patterns:

• Increases work area capacity by up to 50% in typical residential lawns and up to 100% in open areas
• Creates attractive stripe patterns on your lawn for a professional, manicured look
• Offers three distinct mowing patterns to suit your aesthetic preferences
• Provides more predictable mowing times for better lawn management
• Allows for flexible selection of cutting directions to ensure optimal area coverage and grass health

Available Mowing Patterns:

• Parallel Pattern: Creates classic straight stripes by mowing in parallel tracks

• Chequerboard Pattern: Alternates mowing direction by 90 degrees between sessions for a distinctive grid effect

• Triangle Pattern: Changes direction by 60 degrees between sessions for a unique, less visible stripe pattern

Selecting and Optimizing Mowing Patterns:

To select and optimize your mowing pattern:

1. Open the Automower® Connect App and navigate to the map section
2. Select the desired area and choose "Choose Pattern"
3. Set the pattern direction by defining two points on the map
4. Select your preferred pattern: parallel, chequerboard, or triangle
5. For best results, alternate cutting directions regularly to promote even grass growth and health

Is a Wire-Free Automower Right for Your Lawn?

Consider these factors when deciding if an automower without perimeter wire is suitable for your garden:

• Open sky view: Ensure reliable satellite reception for accurate navigation
• Lawn layout: Minimum 4m width for narrow passages to maintain consistent coverage
• Tree canopies: Optimal performance with tree canopies less than 4m wide
• Reference station placement: Needs a clear view of the sky and a fixed position
• Charging station location: Requires an open area with good sky visibility
• Complex obstacles: May benefit from creating virtual stay-out zones
• Sloping areas: Can be managed by setting appropriate mowing directions

Overcoming Potential Challenges:

For areas with poor satellite reception, Husqvarna offers a "Support by Wire" feature. This allows you to install a traditional boundary wire in specific problematic areas, enabling the mower to adapt automatically and ensure uninterrupted operation.

Maintaining Your Wire-Free Automower

While automowers without perimeter wire require less maintenance than traditional mowing systems, some care is still necessary:

• Regular cleaning of the mower body and wheels
• Periodic blade replacement for optimal cutting performance
• Occasional software updates via the Automower® Connect App
• Seasonal adjustments to mowing patterns and schedules
• Ensuring the reference station remains in its fixed position
