For a complete map installation, you must install a work
area and a charging station on the map.
A work area is specified by virtual boundaries. Maximum
20 work areas and secondary areas can be installed on
a map.
There are two types of work areas:
• A work area that has a charging station in it or
connected to it with a transport path where the
product operates automatically.
• A secondary area is a work area with no charging
station and no transport path. The product must be
moved manually to and from the work area.
A transport path is a specified path between the docking
point in front of the charging station and a work area.
The product can operate automatically in this path, but
does not cut grass. A transport path can temporarily be
enabled and disabled in the app.
Stay-out zones can be made if there are areas where
the product must not operate. A stay-out zone is
specified by virtual boundaries. Stay-out zones can
temporarily be enabled and disabled in the app.
A maintenance point is a specified position where the
product can be parked at. This can for example be used
for a service point where maintenance of the product
is done. The maintenance point is connected to the
docking point with a path.
To install objects on the map, operate the product with
the appDrive installation to add waypoints on the map.
Refer to
To install objects on the map on page 19
.
3.9.5.1 To install objects on the map
The waypoints (A) are positions that makes the virtual
boundaries and paths (B). The lines are straight
between the waypoints. It is recommended to use as
few waypoints as possible. For each work area and
the related stay-out zones and transport path the total
maximum number of waypoints are 800. Husqvarna
recommends to add maximum 1000 waypoints for the
complete installation of the map. To make smooth
curves use several waypoints. Husqvarna recommends
to set the minimum distance of 30 cm / 1 ft. between the
waypoints. You can adjust the positions of the waypoints
in the app after the installation of the map.

The installation involves the following components:
• A robotic lawn mower that mows the lawn
automatically.
• A charging station, which has 3 functions:
• To send control signals along the boundary
wire.
• To send control signals along the guide wire
so that the product can follow the guide wire
to specific remote areas in the garden and
can find its way back to the charging station.
• To charge the product.
• A power supply, which is connected to the
charging station and a 100-240V power outlet.
• Loop wire, which is laid around the work area
and around objects and plants that the product
must not run into. The loop wire is used both as
boundary wire and guide wire.
4.3 To prepare for installation
CAUTION: Holes with water in the lawn
can cause damage to the product.
CAUTION: Read the installation
chapter before you start the installation.
• Make a blueprint of the work area and include all
obstacles. This makes it easier to examine where
to put the charging station, the reference station,
and the virtual boundaries.
• Make a mark on the blueprint where to put
the charging station, the reference station, the
maintenance point, the transport paths and the
virtual boundaries for the work areas and stay-out
zones.
• Fill in holes in the lawn to make it level.
• Cut the grass before you install the product. Make
sure that the grass is maximum 10 cm / 4 in.
Note: The first weeks after installation the sound level
when the product cuts the grass can be higher than
usual. The sound level decreases after some time.
4.4 Before the installation of the wires
You can select to attach the wires with stakes or bury
them. You can use the 2 procedures for the same work
area.
CAUTION: If you use a dethatcher
in the work area, bury the boundary wire
and the guide wire to prevent them from
damage.
4.4.1 To examine where to put the charging

4.4.3 To examine where to put the
boundary wire
CAUTION:
There must be a barrier of
minimum 15 cm / 6 in. in height between
the boundary wire and water bodies, slopes,
precipices or public roads. This will prevent
damage to the product.
CAUTION: Do not let the product
operate on gravel.
CAUTION: Do not make sharp bends
when you install the boundary wire.
CAUTION: For careful operation
without noise, isolate all obstacles such as
trees, roots and stones.
The boundary wire should be put as a loop around the
work area. Sensors in the product senses when the
product approaches the boundary wire, and the product
selects another direction. All parts of the work area must
be maximum 35 m / 115 ft. from the boundary wire.
To make the connection easier between the guide wire
and the boundary wire, it is recommended to make an
eyelet where the guide wire will be connected. Make the

as an obstacle.
4.4.4.2 Passages
A passage is a section that has boundary wire on each
side and that connects 2 parts of the work area. The
passage must be a minimum of 2 m / 6.5 ft wide to get
a good cutting result. Short passages can be as narrow
as 60 cm / 2 ft., if a guide wire is installed through the
passage. A long narrow passage can have a negative
impact of the cutting result.
Note:
If a passage is less than 2 m / 6.5 ft. wide,
install a guide wire through the passage.
The product always runs to the left of the guide wire
as seen facing the charging station. It is recommended
that the distance between the guide wire and boundary
wire is one third of the total width of the passage on the
right side and two thirds of the total width of the passage
to the left of the guide wire (A). The minimum distance
between the guide wire and the boundary wire is 30 cm /
12 in.

of boundary wire across the other. The
sections of boundary wire must be parallel.
CAUTION: Do not put the guide wire
across the boundary wire.
CAUTION: Isolate or remove obstacles
that are less than 15 cm / 6 in. in height.
Isolate or remove obstacles that slope
slightly, for example, stones, trees or roots.
This will prevent damage to the blades of the
product.
26 - Installation with boundary wire 1404 - 017 -
To make an island, isolate areas in the work area with
the boundary wire. We recommend to isolate all stable
objects in the work area.
Some obstacles are resistant to a collision, for example,
trees or bushes that are more than 15 cm / 6 in. in
height. The product will collide with the obstacle and
then select a new direction.
• Put the boundary wire to and around the obstacle
to make an island.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire to and from the
island close together. This will make the product
run across the wire.
• Put the 2 sections of boundary wire in the same
stake.

• If the work area has a slope, put the guide wire in a
straight line from the bottom of the slope to the top
of the slope. If it is not possible to make a straight
line, put the guide wire diagonally across the slope.
CAUTION: Do not put the guide
wire in parallel with the slope, as the
illustration shows. This can increase
the wear on the grass.
4.4.6 Work area examples
• If the charging station is put in a small area (A),
make sure that the distance to the boundary wire
is at a minimum 3 m / 10 ft. in front of the charging
station.
• If the work area has a passage (B) with no
guide wire installed, the recommended minimum
distance between the boundary wires is 2 m / 6.5
ft. With a guide wire installed through the passage,
the recommended minimum distance between the
boundary wires is 60 cm / 24 in.
• If the work area has areas which are connected by
a narrow passage (B), you can set the product to
first follow and then leave the guide wire after a
certain distance (C). The settings can be changed

8.6 Find breaks in the loop wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of
unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when
gardening with a shovel. In countries with ground frost,
also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage
the wire. Breaks can also occur due to the wire being
stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can
damage wire insulation. Damage to the insulation may
not cause disruptions until several weeks or months
later. To avoid this, always select the maximum cutting
height the first weeks after installation and then lower
the height one step at a time every second week until
the desired cutting height has been reached.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to
disruptions several weeks after the splice was done.
A faulty splice can, for example, be the result of the
coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a
pair of pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the
original coupler has been used. Please first check all
known splices before further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the
distance of the loop where the break may have occurred
until there is only a very short section of the wire left.
The following method does not work if
ECO mode
is
activated. Make sure first that
ECO mode
is turned off.
Refer to
ECO mode on page 33
.
1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break in
the boundary loop. Refer to
LED indicator of the
charging station on page 52
.
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the
charging station are properly connected and not
damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the
charging station is still flashing blue.
AR
AL
G1
POWER
3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and the boundary wire in the charging station.
Start by switching connection AL and G1. Some
models have additional guide wires (G2, G3). The
same procedure can be followed for them.
If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light,
then the break is somewhere on the boundary wire
between AL and the point where the guide wire is
connected to the boundary wire (thick black line in
the illustration).
Guide
GUIDE
AL
To rectify the fault you will need boundary wire,
connector(s) and coupler(s):
a) If the suspected boundary wire is short then it
is easiest to exchange all of the boundary wire
between AL and the point where the guide wire is
connected to the boundary wire (thick black line).
b) If the suspected boundary wire is long (thick
black line) then do as follows: Put AL and G1
back to their original positions. Then disconnect
AR. Connect a new loop wire to AR. Connect the
other end of this new loop wire at the middle of the
suspected wire section.

Troubleshooting - 55
AR
If the indicator lamp now is green, then the
break is somewhere in the wire between the
disconnected end to the point where the new wire
is connected (thick black line below). In that case,
move the connection for the new wire closer to
the disconnected end (roughly at the middle of
the suspected wire section) and check again if the
indicator lamp is green.
Continue until only a very short section of the wire
remains which is the difference between a solid
green light and a flashing blue light. Then follow
instruction in step 5 below.
4. If indicator lamp still flashes blue in step 3
above:Put AL and G1 back in their original
positions. Then switch AR and G1. If indicator lamp
now is lit with a solid green light then disconnect
AL and connect a new boundary wire to AL.
Connect the other end of this new wire at the
middle of the suspected wire section. Follow the
same approach as in 3a) and 3b) above.
5. When the break is found, the damaged section
must be replaced with a new wire. Always use
original couplers.
