A commercial robotic mower that uses Husqvarna EPOS® satellite guidance to define virtual boundaries instead of physical wires. Suited to fleet use and sites with multiple work areas, it manages up to 5000 m², handles slopes up to 45% and is designed to operate reliably in wet conditions. EPOS RS5 Reference Station is required; full remote control and monitoring use Husqvarna Fleet Services / Automower Connect.
Wire‑free EPOS boundaries
EPOS uses RTK‑GNSS guidance for virtual boundaries with accuracy down to approximately 2 cm. That removes the need for perimeter cable and allows routine deep aeration and turf repairs without disrupting the installation.
Commercial‑grade reliability
Weatherproof design, robust cutting system with five HSS blades and balance control mean continuous operation through the growing season with low energy consumption and reduced downtime.
Flexible zone and pattern control
Create multiple customised work areas with individual schedules, cutting heights and selectable mowing patterns. Temporary stay‑out zones can be activated from the app for events or maintenance.

Key features

Husqvarna EPOS® wire-free Technology
Virtual, wire-free operation through satellite based RTK-GNSS technology, enables an accuracy down to approximately 2cm. The absence of physical wires implies a new level of robustness and flexibility, permitting regular deep aeration and turf repair without jeopardizing the function of the robot installation.

Selectable mowing pattern
Improve the visual impression of the turf by changing the mowing pattern. With EPOS® technology, the mower can run in parallel lines and create a variety of patterns, such as diamonds, triangles and checkerboard.

Warning lights
Warning lights with pulsating or solid light to create awareness during operation at night. Reduces the risk of accidents in public work environments.

Husqvarna Fleet Services™
Husqvarna Fleet Services™ gives you full control of the mower with the possibility to monitor, control and analyze your entire fleet of products from your smartphone, tablet or laptop. You can overview the status and exact location, command them to start/stop or group-command them to park during storm warnings or in case of thunder. Settings and cutting heights are adjusted easily. Receive alarms and track the mower’s position in case of theft – from everywhere.
Support is required from Automower Connect during installation and when editing of EPOS boundary wire-free installations.

Pro user interface
Interface adapted for professional handling, meaning all settings and controls managed remotely through Husqvarna Fleet Services smartphone app or via PC/tablet. Controls on product; status LED indication and START / STOP functionality. Simplifies use for inexperienced users and minimises serious impact on the product in case of vandalism.

Customized work areas
The fully connected product provides an opportunity to individually customize each work area with a unique time schedule, cutting height and cutting pattern. Provides tailored care for a site with multiple scattered areas.

Temporary stay-out zones
When the need arises, create temporary stay-out zones in your robot installation. Activates or deactivates quick and easy through the mobile app. Practically useful if part of the surface area needs to be restricted for a temporary construction work, seeding or during events.

EPOS® guidance
Automatically calculates the most efficient route to and from the charging station’s docking point. It will vary its route on the lawn to avoid unpleasant tracks.

Maintenance point
Designate and mark a machine maintenance parking spot on the map. On command, the product parks there automatically while waiting for service, cleaning, loading or storage.

appDrive – operate by remote
Seize the opportunity to operate the product using a remote control via the appDrive feature on your smartphone. The handling is easy and user-friendly, sparing you from strenuous, unnecessary lifting when the product needs to be moved between workspaces, to the service facility, or during installation.

Electric height adjustment – PATENTED
Electric cutting height adjustment makes it convenient to set the desired height via the Husqvarna Automower® Connect app. The setting is also accessible from the mower’s main menu.

5 blade cutting disc
The cutting discs on the commercial models, Automower 500-series and CEORA, are equipped with 5 Enhance HSS blades, which gives a higher cutting performance. More blades per disc gives a finer cut and extends the interval for blade changes.

Unique cutting system
Husqvarna Automower® cuts just a little but frequently, which assures a nice and healthy lawn. It is equipped with sharp razor-like blades made of strong carbon steel mounted on a robust cutting disc system. This provides for efficient operation and extremely low energy consumption.

Balance control
Automatically detects and notifies if imbalance in the cutting system occur to ensure trouble-free and silent operation. Imbalance could be caused by missing, double mounted or damaged blades.

Manages slopes up to 45%
Large coarse-tread wheels provide excellent traction even if the surface is slippery. The mower handles slopes up to 45%.

FOTA – Firmware Over-The-Air
FOTA – a technology that enables the operators to perform upgrades of the firmware, via the Fleet Services app. The downloading is done remotely, without the need of physical intervention into the product, and enables new features and updates.

Weather timer
Adjusts the working time to the lawn’s growth rate, meaning that Husqvarna Automower® will maximise its mowing time during periods of strong grass growth. In sunny or dry weather, or late in the season, the mower will spend less time mowing, which decreases wear on lawn and mower.

Theft protection by GPS
Products equipped with Automower Connect®/Husqvarna Fleet Services™ immediately begin tracking its GPS position and send notifications to your devices. Makes the installation extra safe and minimizes the risk of theft.

Safety sensors
If Husqvarna Automower® is used correctly, the product is safe and reliable. It is equipped with several sensors, including an automatic and immediate shutdown of the cutting function if the unit tips over or is lifted from the ground. The product design ensures that the blades are positioned well away from the outer edge of the machine body for increased safety. If Automower® encounters any obstacles, it stops or changes direction, further ensuring its mowing mission.

Weatherproof design
Husqvarna’s robotic products are built with 30 years of experience in harsh weather types, such as the Nordic climate. They are designed to operate 24/7 throughout the grass growing season, with normal maintenance and cleaning. The unique cutting system, with free-hanging razor blades on a cutting disc, ensures the cutting result even in rainy conditions.
FAQs
Will this fit my machine?
Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.
Do I need any extra brackets or fitting kits?
Some accessories require a mounting kit or specific brackets depending on your machine. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll advise the correct setup.
Can you fit it for me?
Yes — if you’d like installation, let us know when ordering and we can arrange fitting (collection, workshop fit, or on-site depending on the product).
Do I need any additional hardware to operate the EPOS system?
Yes. An EPOS RS5 Reference Station is required for the virtual, wire‑free installation. Placement and commissioning of the reference station are part of the installation process to achieve the stated RTK accuracy.
What area and battery performance can I expect?
The mower is specified for up to 5000 m² (±20%). Typical mow time on one charge is about 75 minutes with a typical charging time of 50 minutes; battery capacity is 5.0 Ah. Maximum continuous active scheduling can be configured if required.
How are remote control, updates and theft protection handled?
Remote monitoring, control and firmware updates are managed via Husqvarna Fleet Services / Automower Connect. The system provides GPS tracking, alarms and FOTA updates. Note that support from Automower Connect is required during installation and when editing EPOS boundaries.
