4. Autocheck, Service program
The service program Autocheck is a tool to help trouble
shoot as well as send and retrieve information to/from
an Automower from Husqvarna™. You can also, via
Autocheck, update the mower program in an
Automower.
Autocheck is intended for Automower models from
2003. The program does not work on earlier models.
This technical manual deals with Autocheck
version 4.0. When there are later versions available,
you can download them via the Automower support
site: http://support.automower.com.
In order for Autocheck to work you will need a serial
port (COM port) on your computer. Most stationary
computers have one or more serial ports. On the
other hand, some portable computers do not offer this
type of connection. One solution would be to connect
the service cable from a virtual COM-port, which is
then connected to the USB-port. Virtual COM-port,
also known as a USB-adapter, can be ordered and
has the part number 544 08 50-01Installation of
Autocheck.
