HUSQVARNA AUTOMOWER® 520 EPOS
Robotic mower with virtual boundaries for green areas up to 5000 m²
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 5000 m². 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 required.

Husqvarna EPOS Technology
The satellite-based Husqvarna EPOS™ Technology (Exact Positioning Operating System) delivers centimeter level accuracy and allows you to create virtual boundaries. A breakthrough technology for Automower® robotic lawn mowers, offering easy, flexible lawn care without the need of physical wires. Consequently, the risk of wire breakage is eliminated.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
