Husqvarna Automower® Virtual Boundary Installation Guide – Perfect for Victorian Lawns

A well-maintained lawn without the hassle of manual mowing is now easier than ever with the Husqvarna Automower® NERA robotic mower. Whether you're in Melbourne, Geelong, or anywhere across Victoria, setting up the virtual boundary correctly is key to ensuring your mower performs at its best. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the installation process, ensuring your mower is ready to maintain your lawn seamlessly. Follow along for expert tips, a video tutorial, and key considerations to get the best out of your wire-free Husqvarna EPOS™ Technology.

Before You Start Before you begin installing your Automower® NERA with the EPOS Plug-in Kit, ensure you have all the necessary components:

• Automower® NERA robotic mower, power supply & charging station
• EPOS Plug-in accessory, reference station & power supply
• A nearby electricity point for both the charging and reference stations

Having these ready will streamline the installation process and help you avoid interruptions. Whether you're a homeowner in Ballarat or a property renovator in Bendigo, proper setup will make your lawn care effortless.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Download the Automower® Connect App The first step is to download the Automower® Connect app from the App Store or Google Play. Once installed:

• Sign up and create a Husqvarna account.
• Log in and select your mower model within the app.

This app is essential for managing your robotic mower and setting up the virtual boundaries, ensuring your lawn stays pristine all year round.

2. Pair the Mower with the App Turn on your Automower® and follow the on-screen instructions in the app to complete the pairing process. If your mower has a low battery, you may need to complete this step after charging.

3. Charge the Mower Before mapping the virtual boundaries, ensure your mower has enough power:

• Plug in the charging station.
• Place the mower in the station and turn it on.
• The app will confirm when the mower is charging.

4. Set Up the Reference Station The reference station plays a key role in the EPOS™ system, allowing the mower to navigate without boundary wires. To set it up:

• Find a permanent outdoor location for the reference station.
• Avoid mounting it on movable structures like flagpoles.
• Ensure it has a clear satellite view for optimal coverage.
• Mount it securely and connect it to a power outlet.
• A steady green light indicates it’s ready to pair with the mower.

Follow the EPOS setup guide in the Automower® Connect app to finalise the connection.

5. Place the Charging Station The charging station should be positioned in an open area to allow the mower easy docking. Avoid placing it under trees or structures. Once positioned:

• Connect the low-voltage cable from the power supply to the charging station.
• Plug the power supply into a standard wall socket (100-240V).
• Ensure the station is level and stable.

6. Create the Virtual Boundaries With the hardware set up, it’s time to define the mowing area using the app:

• Drive the mower clockwise around the perimeter using the AppDrive feature.
• Drop points in the app at key corners to create the boundary.
• Edit the boundary points if needed within the app.

For more precise mowing control, you can create custom zones:

• Stay-Out Zones: To prevent the mower from entering specific areas, drive it counterclockwise around the space and set it as a restricted zone.
• Transport Paths: If your charging station is outside the main mowing area, create a transport path to guide the mower back and forth.

7. Set a Mowing Schedule and Start Mowing Now that your virtual boundary is in place, it’s time to let the Automower® get to work:

• Use the app to set a mowing schedule that suits your lawn care needs.
• Monitor the mower's activity and adjust settings for optimal performance.
