3. 6 Menu functions Advanced 3 4 Check loop 3 4 7 This function allows you to check the mower s signal reception from the boundary wire and to determine exactly where in the lawn the boundary wire is routed The sensor used for this function sits concealed directly under the catch button for the cutting height adjustment cover The sensor detects the position of the Automower in relation to the loop Inside Outside or No loop signal are shown on the display If the mower is inside the loop nside is shown etc If the mower is set with sound on a constant beep is also heard when the mower is outside and a pulsating beep when it cannot detect a signal If the mower is inside the loop no beep is heard To Check the signal reception Move the cursor to Check loop and press YES e Find wire Move the Automower over the outer edge of the working area and select Check loop Repeat until you find the boundary between Inside and Outside You now know where the wire is Drive past wire 3 4 2 The front of the Automower always passes the boundary wire by a specific distance before the mower turns The default distance is 27 cm 11 but this can be changed if required The minimum value is 15 cm 6 and the maximum value is 50 cm 20 To adjust the distance Move the cursor to Drive past wire and press YES Now specify the number of centimeters you want the Automower to pass the boundary wire Exit
4. 3012 512 Automower from B Husqvarna 19 20 3 Installation The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free area in front of it at least 10 ft It should also be positioned centrally in the working area so that Automower can easily find the charging station and quickly reach all parts of the working area It is a good idea to place the charging station in the shadow The battery is spared if it is charged in the lowest possible ambient temperature The charging station must be positioned on relatively level ground The height difference must not differ more than 2 between the front and rear of the charging station 3012 712 The charging station must not be positioned so that its plate bends Me v2 Consider the distance to a wall socket when choosing the position The charging station should be connected to a 120V wall socket via the low voltage cable and transformer 3012 532 The supplied low voltage cable is 66 ft long Tip It is possible to let the low voltage cable cross the working area It must then be either stapled down or buried In some cases there is a better positioning option for the charging station than close to a house wall or by the closest wall socket 3012 220 3012 223 IMPORTANT INFORMATION The low voltage cable must not be extended IMPORTANT INFORMATION The transformer is for indoor use only The transformer must be placed where it is well
5. Long narrow passages and areas narrower than 5 7 ft should be avoided When Automower mows there is a risk that it runs around in the passage or area for a too long a period The lawn will then look flattened Passages when searching for the charging station The distance between the boundary wires in a passage must be at least 10 ft in order for Automower to follow the boundary wire through the passage without the need of changing the mower s default settings When the distance is less than 10 ft there are two options available that permit Automower to run through the passage 1 Install a guide wire When the distance between the boundary wires is less than 10 ft it is recommended to install a guide wire through the passage For more information about the guide wire see 3 8 Installation of the guide wire on page 34 Usually the installation of the guide wire is the best solution with narrow passages The narrowest passage that Automower can run through with the help of a guide wire is 2 ft between the boundary wires 2 Change the default Corridor width 3 2 3 setting When the distance between the boundary wires in a narrow passage is more than ft it is possible for Automower to run through the passage if a low value is set for the Corridor width 3 2 3 function see page 56 However a low value involves a large risk of tracks forming along the entire boundary wire The transition between a large area and a
6. The disadvantage is that tracks can be formed to a certain extent in the grass behind the mower Problems can also arise if there are narrow passages or a large number of islands for example bushes Automower may need to drive round an island up to 2 3 times before it realizes that it is an island and drives on Search method 3 Follow guide wire Automower runs irregularly until it reaches the guide wire The mower then follows the guide wire in to the charging station The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the charging station out towards a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage and is then connected to the boundary wire For more information see 3 8 Installation of the guide wire on page 34 This search method is best for an installation that has numerous or large islands narrow passages or steep slopes The advantage of this search method is that the search times are generally short The disadvantage is that the mower can leave tracks in the grass along the length of the guide wire Automower from f Husqvarna 3012 484 3012 677 2 Presentation 2 4 More than one Automower in a garden If you install more than one Automower in the same area of lawn each mower must have its own PIN code However if the boundary wires are laid at least 16 from each other the mowers can have the same PIN code This will mean that about 8 between the working areas will not b
7. We recommend you allow the Automower to mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best possible result Automower can even mow in the rain however wet grass easily collects on the mower and the risk of slipping on steep slopes is greater When there is a risk of thunder the Automower should not stand in the charging station The 24 V connector should also be removed The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result In order to keep the blades sharp for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn free from branches small stones and other objects 3012 422 12 Automower from fHusqvarna Working method The Automower automatically mows the lawn It continuously combines mowing and charging The charging station sends out a signal that the Automower can sense at a distance of 20 23 ft The mower starts to search for the charging station when the battery charge becomes too low The Automower does not mow when it is searching for the charging station When Automower searches for the charging station it uses one or more of three different search methods Irregular Follow loop in and Follow guide wire For more information about the search methods see 2 3 Search method on page 15 and Follow loop in 3 2 2 on page 55 When the battery is charged the mower reverses turns around and leaves the charging station in a randomly selected direction within the exit sector 90 270 To make i
8. e A few extra meters of wire at the beginning and end close to the charging station e A few extra meters of wire about every 100 ft around the entire loop All extra wire should be laid in tight parallel loops If staples are used the parallel loops should be placed under the same staple IMPORTANT INFORMATION Extra wire must not be placed in coils outside the boundary wire This can disrupt the Automower Tip Use the supplied measurement gauge as a guide when you lay out the boundary wire This helps you to easily set the correct distance between the boundary wire and the boundary obstacle If you intend to staple down the boundary wire e Tip Mow the lawn where the wire is to be laid using a normal lawn mower or a trimmer It will then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground and the risk of the mower cutting the wire off is reduced e Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the ground and secure the staples close together The wire must generally lie close to the ground so as not to be cut off before the grass roots have grown over it Use a hammer to knock down the staples in the ground 3012 221 3012 138 p KZ e zu 3012 281 Automower from t jHusqvarna 29 3 Installation If you intend to bury the boundary wire e Make sure to place the boundary wire at least 0 5 and a maximum of 8 into the ground The boundary wire

10. Automower is set to a value of 6 for both the boundary wire and guide wire The higher the stated Corridor width value the less risk there is of tracks forming However a high corridor value means that Automower may find it difficult to enter passages A garden with large open areas should have a wide Corridor i e a high Corridor width value A garden with passages should have a narrow Corridor i e a low value for the Corridor width When the value is set to 0 for the Corridor width Automower will run along the boundary wire which means it will run with half the mower inside the loop and half the mower outside As there are often flower beds hedges and walls along with the boundary wire Corridor width 0 is not normally recommended Should you still like to state this value the boundary wire must lay 16 from solid objects instead of the normal 14 IMPORTANT INFORMATION The distance at which the mower follows the boundary wire varies depending on how the working area appears You should perform some tests to find the highest possible Corridor width Use the Test IN 3 2 4 function to try different values 56 Automower from fHusqvarna Corridor 3012 496 Follow loop out Follow loop in Boundary corridor Corridor width Guide corridor Test IN Test OUT 3012 717 6 Menu functions Test IN 3 2 4 The Test IN 3 2 4 function is used to test how Automower finds its way
