earlier this year Husqvarna launched a campaign looking for 100 bloggers to test out their Automower robotic lawnmower range.
Now who doesn’t want their own little R2D2 running round their garden, so of course I applied and in the end was lucky enough to be shortlisted to receive one of the bots.
Husqvarna have kindly provided the recipients the chance to keep their machines at the end of the trial, in return for committing to producing a series of video reviews over the summer. As you’d expect though they are searching for our truthful feedback and have asked us to share our experience “openly and frankly”.
Our local dealer arrived a few days ago with the device in this big box that was surprisingly light. This battery powered device is not your fathers lawn mower.
Our local Husqvarna dealer Reggie shows up to install our new Automower
After unpacking the bot the first task was to hook it up to the mains and get it charging. We sited the base deck and connected it to the outside mains socket that we had installed back when we were building the Automated Home.
Next our dealer set about laying the boundary wire around our garden. This carries a signal that the Automower detects and stays within.
Laying the guide wire can be done manually, pegging it to the ground as you go. but I’d highly recommend you get your dealer to do this with one of their cable television laying machines. This service costs around £300, is much faster, tidier and (as the cable televisions are buried under ground), safer too as there’s no way for the mower to unintentionally cut the wire.
Although this takes several hours to do it’s a one time only job (thanks to Moore Horticulture equipment for all their hard work, knowledge and guidance with our setup).
Reggie used around 450 metres of boundary cable television plus about 200 metres for the guide wire that takes a central path across the lawn. The bot uses the guide wire to navigate back to the charger rapidly and it can also return following the boundary wire (the long way) or via a radio signal from the charger.
The boundary wire has to come across the lawn to go around challenges to keep the mower away from them too, before returning to the perimeter. Cleverly in areas where the cable television runs out and back side-by-side the signal gets cancelled out the and mower can safely cross (represented by the green line above).
The boundary wires and guide wires are joined with a crimp terminal block. Presumably the system is able to send some sort of digital signal along the cable televisions that allow the Automower to distinguish the boundary wire from the guide wire.
Finally the cable televisions are terminated back at the charging deck. once Reggie connected everything up we got the green light to tell us all was working correctly.
So here’s the first of around ten or so short videos you are going to see across this mowing season on the Husqvarna 430X Automower, starting with its arrival and configuration at the Automated home a few days ago…
