English - 9 PRESENT A TION 2 Presentation This chapter contains information that is important to be aware of when planning the installation. Installing a Husqvarna robotic lawnmower involves four main components: • A robotic lawnmower that mows the lawn by essentially operating in a random pattern.
English - 10 PRESENT A TION 2.1 What is what? The numbers in the illustration represent: 1. Body 2. Hatch to display and keypad. 3. Stop button/Catch to open the hatch 4. Mounting for accessories, e.g. ultra sound and lighting (not available with Automower® 320) 5.
English - 1 1 PRESENT A TION 2.2 Package content Y our Automower ® package will include the following parts. Automower ® 320 Automower ® 330X Robotic lawnmower X X Charging station X X T ransformer.
English - 12 PRESENT A TION Mowing technique The cutting system in the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower is based on an efcient and energy saving principle. Unlike many standard lawnmowers, the robotic lawnmower cuts the grass instead of knocking it off.
English - 13 PRESENT A TION The STOP button on the top of the robotic lawnmower is mainly used to stop the robotic lawnmower when it’s running. When the STOP button is pressed a hatch opens, behind which there is a control panel. The ST OP button remains pressed in until the hatch is closed again.
English - 14 PRESENT A TION Search method 2: Follow guide wire The robotic lawnmower operates irregularly until it reaches the guide wire. Then the robotic lawnmower follows the guide wire to the charging station.
English - 15 INST ALLA TION 3 Installation This chapter describes how to install the robotic lawnmower . Before starting the installation read the previous chapter 2. Presentation . Read also through this entire chapter before beginning the installation.
English - 16 INST ALLA TION 4. Check that all parts for the installation are included. The numbers in brackets refer to the component illustration. See 2.
English - 17 INST ALLA TION The charging station must be positioned with a great deal of free space in front of it (at least 3 metres). It should also be centrally placed in the working area to make it easier for the robotic lawnmower to reach all areas in the working area.
English - 18 INST ALLA TION Connecting the transformer T ake the following into consideration when planning where to place the transformer: • Close to the charging station • Protection from rain • Protection from direct sunlight If the transformer is connected to an electrical socket outdoors, this must be approved for outdoor use.
English - 19 INST ALLA TION Do not, under any circumstances, mount the transformer at a height where there is a risk it can be submerged in water (at least 30 cm from the ground).
English - 20 INST ALLA TION 3.3 Charging the battery As soon as the charging station is connected, it is possible to charge the robotic lawnmower . Set the main switch to position 1 . Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery while the boundary and guide wires are being laid.
English - 21 INST ALLA TION 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire The boundary wire can be installed in one of the following ways: • Secure the wire to the ground with pegs. It is preferable to staple down the boundary wire if you want to make adjustments to the boundary loop during the rst few weeks of operation.
English - 22 INST ALLA TION Working area boundaries If a high obstacle, for example a wall or fence, borders the working area, the boundary wire should be laid 35 cm from the obstacle. This will prevent the robotic lawnmower from colliding with the obstacle and reduce body wear .
English - 23 INST ALLA TION Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to isolate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles which cannot withstand a collision, for example owerbeds, bushes and fountains. Lay the wire up to and around the area to be isolated, and then return it back along the same route.
English - 24 INST ALLA TION Passages when mowing Long and narrow passages and areas narrower than 1.5 to 2 metres should be avoided. When the robotic lawnmower mows, there is a risk that it travels around in the passage or area for a long period of time.
English - 25 INST ALLA TION Laying the boundary wire If you intend to peg down the boundary wire: • Cut the grass very low with a standard lawnmower or a trimmer where the wire is to be laid.
English - 26 INST ALLA TION Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station On its way toward the charging station, the boundary wire can be laid completely outside the charging station (see option 1 in the gure).
English - 27 INST ALLA TION 3.5 Connecting the boundary wire Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: IMPORT ANT INFORMA TION The boundary wire must not be crossed when connecting it to the charging station.
English - 28 INST ALLA TION 3.6 Installation of the guide wire The guide wire is a wire that is laid from the charging station towards, for instance, a remote part of the working area or through a narrow passage to be then connected with the boundary loop.
English - 29 INST ALLA TION Laying and connecting the guide wire 1. Before laying and connecting the guide wire, it is important to give consideration to the length of the guide loop, especially in large or complex installations. If the guide loop is longer than 400 metres the robotic lawnmower can have difculty following the guide wire.
English - 30 INST ALLA TION If the guide wire has to be installed on a steep slope, it is an advantage to lay the wire at an angle to the slope. This makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to follow the guide wire on the slope. Avoid laying the wire at sharp angles.
English - 31 INST ALLA TION 3.7 Checking the installation Check the loop signal by inspecting the indicator lamp on the charging station. • Solid green light = good signals. • Flashing green light = the loop system is turned off and the robotic lawnmower is in ECO mode.
English - 32 INST ALLA TION 3.8 First start-up and calibration Before the robotic lawnmower is operated, a start-up sequence in the robotic lawnmower ’s menu must be carried out as well as an automatic calibration of the guide signal. 1. Open the control panel hatch by pressing the STOP button.
English - 33 USE 4 Use 4.1 Charging a at battery When the Husqvarna robotic lawnmower is new or has been stored for a long period, the battery will be at and needs to be charged before starting. 1. Set the main switch to position 1 . 2. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
English - 34 USE 4.2 Using the timer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function ( see 6.3 Timer on page 42 ) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the maximum service life from the robotic lawnmower .
English - 35 USE 4.4 Stopping 1. Press the STOP button. The robotic lawnmower stops, the blade motor stops and the control panel hatch opens. 4.5 Switching off 1.
English - 36 CONTROL P ANEL 5 Control panel All forms of commands and settings for the robotic lawnmower are made via the control panel. All functions are accessed via a number of menus. The control panel consists of a display and a keypad. All information is shown on the display and all input is done using the buttons.
English - 37 CONTROL P ANEL The keypad consists of six groups of buttons: • The ST ART button is used to activate the robotic lawnmower . This is normally the last button to be pressed before closing the display hatch. • The Back and OK buttons are used to navigate in the menu.
English - 38 CONTROL P ANEL Override timer Any timer settings made can be temporarily overridden by selecting Override timer . It is possible to override the timer for 1, 3 or 5 days. Spot Cutting Spot cutting means the robotic lawnmower will work in a spiral pattern in order to cut the grass in the area where it was started.
English - 39 CONTROL P ANEL 5.3 Main switch Set the main switch in the 1 position to start the robotic lawnmower . Set the main switch in the 0 position when the robotic lawnmower is not in use or work is being carried out on the blade disc. When the main switch is set in the 0 position the motors on the robotic lawnmower cannot start.
English - 40 MENU FUNCTIONS 6 Menu functions 6.1 Main menu The main menu consists of the following options: • Ti mer • Cutting height • Security • Messages • Wea ther timer • Installation • Settings • Accessories There are a number of submenus under each option.
English - 41 MENU FUNCTIONS 6.2 Menu structure The following table summarises the menu selections found in the main menu. The following chapter provides more detailed information about how each function is used and which setting options are available.
English - 42 MENU FUNCTIONS 6.3 T imer The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Consequently , it is important to limit the operating time using the timer function if the working area is less than the mower ’s working capacity .
English - 43 MENU FUNCTIONS Overview This function graphically displays what hours and days the robotic lawnmower is operating. The time the robotic lawnmower will mow is marked with a black line. During the other times, the robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging station.
English - 44 MENU FUNCTIONS 6.4 Cutting height The cutting height can be varied from MIN (2 cm) to MAX (6 cm). During the rst week after a new installation, the cutting height must be set to MAX to avoid damaging the loop wire. After this, the cutting height can be reduced one step every week until the desired cutting height has been reached.
English - 45 MENU FUNCTIONS 6.5 Security Through this selection, settings relating to security and the connection between the robotic lawnmower and the charging station can be made. There are three security levels to choose from but it is also possible to dene your own combination of security functions.
English - 46 MENU FUNCTIONS Custom This menu allows you to customise and combine the available security functions to suit your needs. Time lock Activate or deactivate the PIN request after a certain number of days. The number of days can be set in Security - Advanced .
English - 47 MENU FUNCTIONS 3. Press OK and await conrmation that the loop signal has been generated. This normally takes about 10 seconds. Advanced Duration of Time lock When Time lock is activated there is also the possibility to select how many days the robotic lawnmower has to request a PIN code.
English - 48 MENU FUNCTIONS Info messages Messages shown in the display not caused by an actual fault are instead saved under the Info messages heading. Examples for such messages are Weak GPS signal and Slope too steep . See 9.1 Fault messages on page 75 for more information on possible reasons for each message.
English - 49 MENU FUNCTIONS Cutting time If the mowing results are not optimal when using the Weather timer , Cutting time settings may need adjusting. T o adjust the Cutting time: place the cursor by Cutting time and use the right and left arrow keys to increase or decrease the cutting time in three preset intervals.
English - 50 MENU FUNCTIONS In general a long delay time decreases the risk of tracks forming (the robotic lawnmower will nd the charging station more often through irregular searches) but gives longer search times. A short delay time gives the opposite effect, i.
English - 51 MENU FUNCTIONS Charging station range There may be reasons to reduce the range of the charging station in rare cases. It may be necessary if for instance the charging station is placed cl.
English - 52 MENU FUNCTIONS Normal causes as to why the robotic lawnmower cannot follow the wire are that obstacles close to the wire have not been isolated or that the guide wire has not been laid at an angle on a steep slope.
English - 53 MENU FUNCTIONS IMPORT ANT INFORMA TION When the GPS assisted navigation is activated, this will be used so long there is a GPS service - even if manual settings are carried out. Only when a GPS service is not available will the manual settings be used.
English - 54 MENU FUNCTIONS GPS This section does not apply to Automower® 320. GPS assisted navigation uses an inbuilt GPS to check which areas are mowed and thereby which areas need to be mowed next. After a number of days operating, the robotic lawnmower creates a map of the working area and where the guide wires are laid.
English - 55 MENU FUNCTIONS How to measure the distance to a remote area: 1. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station. 2. In the Lawn coverage > How far? menu function, enter a distance which beyond any doubt exceeds the real gure. The maximum distance that can be entered is 499 metres.
English - 56 MENU FUNCTIONS Advanced Under the Advanced heading, there are even more settings relating to the behaviour of the robotic lawnmower . The settings in this menu are only required if additional control of the lawnmower is denitely needed e.
English - 57 MENU FUNCTIONS Corridor width > Guide In the case of the guide wires, specify the widest distance from each guide wire the robotic lawnmower can run. The distance is specied as a gure between 0 and 9. The distance the robotic lawnmower maintains from the guide wire varies depending on the layout of the working area.
English - 58 MENU FUNCTIONS Drive past wire The front of the robotic lawnmower always passes the boundary wire by a specic distance before the mower turns around. The default distance is 31 cm, but this can be changed if required. A gure between 20 and 50 can be selected.
English - 59 MENU FUNCTIONS 6.9 Settings This selection allows you to carry out changes to the robotic lawnmower ’s general settings. Proles With the function Proles, different sets of user settings can be saved.
English - 60 MENU FUNCTIONS Change the name of a prole The names of the proles can be changed, to make it easier to remember what settings are stored in the respective prole. • Check the prole name to be changed • Press OK • Check Rename and press OK .
English - 61 MENU FUNCTIONS ECO This function automatically turns off the loop signal in the boundary loop, the guide wires and the charging station when the robotic lawnmower is not mowing, i.e. when the lawnmower is charging or is not allowed to mow due to timer settings.
English - 62 MENU FUNCTIONS Intensity The level of sensitivity can be adjusted to set how much over the average height the grass has to be for spiral cutting to begin. Low sensitivity means that spiral cutting begins less often. High sensitivity means that spiral cutting begins more often.
English - 63 MENU FUNCTIONS Calibration of guide wire The guide wire may need to be calibrated in rare cases. This should only be done if the robotic lawnmower itself requests it or if your dealer recommends it. 1. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
English - 64 MENU FUNCTIONS 6.10 Accessories This menu is used for the settings related to accessories tted on the mower . Headlight In this function, settings regarding headlight are made. Headlight can only be tted as accessories on the Automower ® 330X.
English - 65 GARDEN EXAMPLES 7 Garden examples - Installation proposals and settings Adapting the robotic lawnmower ’s settings and guide wire positions according to the shape of the garden makes it easier for the robotic lawnmower to frequently reach all parts of the garden and in doing so achieve a perfect mowing result.

English - 70 MAINTENANCE 8 Maintenance For better operating reliability and longer service life: check and clean the robotic lawnmower regularly and replace worn parts if necessary . See 8.4 Cleaning on page 72 for more details on cleaning. When the robotic lawnmower is rst used, the blade disc and blades should be inspected once a week.
English - 71 MAINTENANCE 8.1 Winter storage The robotic lawnmower The robotic lawnmower must be cleaned carefully before putting it away for the winter . See 8.4 Cleaning on page 72 . T o guarantee battery functionality and service life, it is very important to fully charge the robotic lawnmower before storing it away for the winter .
English - 72 MAINTENANCE 8.2 Winter service Leave your robotic lawnmower with a dealer for service prior to winter storage. Regular winter service is a good way to maintain the robotic lawnmower in good condition over a long period of time and create the best conditions for a new season without any disruptions.
English - 73 MAINTENANCE If long blades of grass or other objects nd their way in, these may impede the blade disc. Even a slight braking effect leads to a higher consumption of energy and longer mowing times, and at worst will prevent the robotic lawnmower from being able to mow a large lawn.
English - 74 MAINTENANCE 8.7 Blades W ARNING Always use original blades and screws when replacing. Only replacing the blades and reusing the screw can result in a screw wearing during mowing and shearing. The blades can then be propelled from under the body and cause serious injury .
English - 75 TROUBLESHOOTING 9 T roubleshooting In this chapter , a number of messages are listed which may be shown in the display if there is a malfunction. There is a proposal as to the cause and steps to take for each message. This chapter also presents some symptoms that can guide you if the robotic lawnmower does not work as expected.
English - 76 TROUBLESHOOTING No loop signal The transformer is not connected. Check the wall socket connection and whether an earth-fault breaker has tripped. The low voltage cable is damaged or not connected. Check that the low voltage cable is not damaged.
English - 77 TROUBLESHOOTING Outside working area The boundary wire connections to the charging station are crossed. Check that the boundary wire is connected correctly . The boundary wire is too close to the edge of the working area. Check that the boundary wire has been laid according to the instructions.
English - 78 TROUBLESHOOTING 9.2 Info messages A number of info messages are listed below that can be shown on the display on the robotic lawnmower . It is recommended to contact your dealer if the same message appears often. Check that the installation is performed as described in the Operator ’s Manual.
