    No loop signal message. • F signal (Only for Husqvarna Automower® 310/315) Remote signal from the charging station which is generated by a loop in the charging station plate. The F signal is used so that the mower knows that it is in the vicinity of the charging station.

  • Page 14: The Loop System's Status

    1. FUNCTION The robotic lawnmower cannot enter the charging station when there is no N signal. The mower will eventually stop and display the Low battery voltage fault message and the status LED in the charging station will flash in red. •...
  • Page 15 1. FUNCTION The strength of the A signal also varies along the boundary loop depending on the proximity to other parts of the loop. The strength of the signal is affected by the size of the working area, islands, headlands, passages and corners.

  • Page 16: Guide Loop

    The GARDENA R100Li, R100LiC,R130Li, R130LiC and R160Li always follow a guide wire to the charging station. Installing a guide wire is therefore mandatory. The Husqvarna Automower 310/315 can be set to ® search for the charging station in one or more of three different ways: Irregular, Follow boundary home and Follow guide home.
  • Page 17 1. FUNCTION and Follow guide home search methods can however give considerably shorter search times in more complex installations with areas divided by passages or openings. The robotic lawnmower always starts a search for the charging station using the Irregular method, on the condition that the delay times for the boundary wire or any of the guide wires are not set to 0 minutes.

    1. FUNCTION 1.15 Sensors There are several types of sensors in the robotic lawnmower. The front collision sensor (1), rear collision sensor (2), tilt sensor (3) and lift sensors (4) have the task of protecting both mower and user. The rear (5) and front (6) loop sensors are used to control the mower within the working area, to position the mower when docking, tracking the guide wire, etc.

  • Page 36: Boundary Loop

    3. INSTALLATION • Do not, under any circumstances, mount the power supply at a height where there is a risk it can be submerged in water (at least 30 cm / 12 ” from the ground). It is not permitted to place the power supply on the ground.
  • Page 37 3. INSTALLATION When burying, make a channel using a spade or an edge cutter, approximately 1-20 cm deep, around the entire garden. Place the wire in the channel and then press it closed with your feet. You can also cut a channel using for instance an edge cutting machine.

  • Page 38: Guide Wire

    3. INSTALLATION Now press down the button on top of the coupler fully. Use a polygrip as the button on the coupler is difficult to press down by hand. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Twisted cables, or screw terminal (chock- blocks), insulated with insulation tape are not satisfactory splices.

  • Page 39: Testing The Installation

    3. INSTALLATION • The robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire on the same side of the wire to and from the Maximum charging station.

  • Page 46 4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM If the text Connected mower: None is displayed in the lower bar in Autocheck EXP, contact with the mower has not been established. If this is the case, check the following: • Check that cable is correctly connected both in the computer and in the mower.

  • Page 47: Use

    4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM 4.3 Use Autocheck EXP has been designed to be as self-instructional as possible. There are a lot of help texts and illustrations in the program to guide the user. The program’s main functions are grouped in a number of menus that are accessed via buttons in a list in the upper part of the program.
  • Page 48 4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM 4.3.1 Auto test In Auto test, a comprehensive test of the components in the robotic lawnmower is carried out. The test is semi- automatic, which means each component is started and stopped by the service program. Auto test is a suitable function to use for an overall review of the components, for example, in connection with winter service or to start troubleshooting.
  • Page 49 4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM 4.3.2 Manual test Every component in the robotic lawnmower can be tested in the manual test. The function consists of four parts: • Power/Motors • User interface • Sensors • Loop When using Manual test unlike Auto test, you have to start and stop the components you wish to test.
  • Page 50 4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM is used. Autocheck EXP itself checks which software is suitable for the connected mower. At times, there may be a need to answer questions to supplement the inspection. Read the questions carefully so that they are answered correctly.
  • Page 51 4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM There are three options when programming a new main circuit board: • Select mower from the log book This is the normal and safest choice. Select the relevant robotic lawnmower from the log book and the serial number and operating data will be transferred automatically to the new main circuit board.
  • Page 52 4. AUTOCHECK EXPERIENCE, SERVICE PROGRAM Note! Autocheck EXP saves the mower automatically to the log book as soon as the mower is connected to the program. No manual saving is needed and is consequently never carried out. In those cases where something is altered while the mower is connected to Autocheck EXP, an additional save to the log book is carried out when the mower is disconnected or when Autocheck EXP is turned off.
  • Page 53 There is a complete collection of documents for robotic lawnmowers from Husqvarna, with models from 2003 and later. Current service plans for many mower models are also here. Documents marked in red are newly added and unopened documents. On the right in the document tabs is a preview of the first page of selected documents.
