Question:
My automower 220 ac started giving a "no loop" fault. The boundry wire tested ok for continuity and trace signal. I used a 5 foot piece as a test loop and still received no loop error with green light blinking on charging station. Could this be a station issue?
Answer
I have similar issue - I have a relatively new (since last summer) Automower 315 which had been working great, flawlessly on a small back yard lawn. Now it will not complete the lawn. Started out stalling in the middle of the lawn at one very specific spot. Thought it might have just been something it ran into or a similar incident. But now it's done the same thing on another spot. Any answers here? Right now it's an expensive non-functional robot on my lawn which really doesn't work.

1) have you installed something NEW in the yard like a Fence or Metal ? it can mess with signal
2) I would look at the Splices
3) put mower in charge station and setup NEW LOOP SIGNAL..(manual 6.5 pg 47)
GL......... let us know what fixed it

Guys, I have the same issue. 220 AC.
The unit was working with no issues before I stored it in the garage for the winter. Took it out for spring this morning and got the blinking green light of death... spent hours testing and checking wires and connections. Replaced connectors in back of the docking station. Tested wire across the entire property, signal's good. No spliced wires, used a wire signal tester. I've been through this many times before and it's not the wire. One time, it just started working when I tried it the next day. I thought it might be the 'miniature circuit breaker' in the power unit, but unplugging for 10 seconds doesn't work no matter how many times I try.
For what I paid for the unit just one season ago, I'm very dissapointed. This means time and money for my family. Not happy. What do we do??? Green flashing light of death continues...

There is no new fence or wiring on the property. Literally nothing changed. It just stopped working. I'm happy to work with Husqvarna to solve the issue but support on this product has been absolutely abysmal. It's not the local dealer fault either so don't go down that path - he's excellent but he's not a robotics expert, he's an Internal Combustion Engine expert with specific knowledge of garden care. To expect him to understand why the broadcast signal has interference is about 3 leaps of faith too much.
Husqvarna had better solve this or this is going to get ugly. At this it's a $2000 product with a two year warranty - and I want my money back. It's too expensive for these types of errors.

I just bought the Automower 315 and had the same problem of a green light and no loop. I took a chance and told the unit to create a new loop. After several dire warnings, the Automower created a new Bluetooth/WiFi connection between the Automower and the Charger. ALL FIXED! Evidently, the connection between the Automower itself and the Charging Station can become disconnected. Husqvarna should document the connectivity in their install instructions.
