Husqvarna Automower® 520 EPOS™ is a robotic mower designed for commercial fleet use and a sibling model to the well-established Automower® 550 EPOS. It features Husqvarna EPOS™ with virtual boundaries instead of physical wires, allowing you to define several work areas with different settings and set temporary stay-out zones. Thanks to the systematic mowing pattern, Automower® 520 EPOS™ can handle green areas of up to 1.25 acres. The mower also navigates easily in narrow passages and manages slopes up to 45% (24°) with perfect cutting results – even in rainy conditions. EPOS™ RS5 Reference Station included in pricing.

Adjustable virtual boundaries

Customisable lawn maintenance thanks to wire free installation with virtual boundaries. The virtual boundaries are easy to install and adjust in the Husqvarna Automower® Connect app, and you can create stay-out zones and multiple work areas with different settings.

Safety & Collision Sensors

Automower® is designed with safety in mind. The central placement of the cutting disc provides wide space between the blades and the outer body of the mower. Additionally, the blades instantly stop and retract inward as soon as the mower is lifted, or an object is detected thanks to built-in collision sensors.

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 at 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 required from Automower Connect during installation and when editing of EPOS boundary wire free installations.

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.

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.

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.

Silent

Thanks to its unique cutting system, Automower® is extremely quiet. It operates between 50-60 decibels which is quieter than your average conversation.

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.

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%.

Reliability

Robotic lawn mowing is all about reliability. Husqvarna has during 25 years of development refined its mower concept to achieve the highest level of reliability, quality and cutting result, with a minimum of assistance.

Unique Cutting System

Automower® is equipped with 3 razor-like blades made of carbon steel mounted on a robust cutting disc system. Automower® cuts a little grass at a time, but frequently. The tiny clippings are recycled into the turf as a natural fertilizer resulting in a healthier looking lawn.

Weather timer

Adjusts the working time to the lawn’s growth rate, meaning that Husqvarna Automower® will maximize 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.

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 minimizes serious impact on the product in case of vandalism.

Automatic charging

When Automower® needs more power, it finds its own way back to the charging station.

Built-in Theft Protection

To reduce risk of theft, an alarm sounds if the mower is lifted and can only be deactivated with your unique PIN code. Additionally, GPS enabled tracking allows you to view your mower's location at all times.

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.

Flexible charging station placement

Enables flexible placement of the charging station in the garden which simplifies the installation and secures reliable docking every time.

Front bumper

Rubber-made front bumper makes the mower more resistant to recurrent collisions with trees, shrubs and other objects within the installation.

Scheduling

With the easily programmable weekly timer function, it is possible to precisely schedule time intervals for Automower® to work.

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.

appDrive - driving by remote

Make the product easy to steer by using a smart phone. Use appDrive when defining an EPOS map, or when driving the product between areas without need of carrying.

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.

Weather Resilient

Automower® is water resistant and can mow the lawn even when it is raining. On some mowers, you can use the weather timer setting to adjust mowing frequency based on rate of grass growth. During periods of strong growth the mower will cut more frequently, and during periods of slow growth (i.e. dry or late season) the mower will spend less time mowing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
