What matters on the Automower 405XE NERA
This NERA model may be installed with a physical boundary wire or, where supported/configured, a wire-free EPOS setup. The correct diagnostic branch depends on the installation actually in use.
Use the exact error text shown by the mower or app. Similar wording across mower generations does not always mean the same component has failed.
Start with these checks
- Check schedule/manual mow command.
- Check station power and contacts.
- Check docking path and guide/boundary setup.
- Check for displayed error.
- Confirm mains power and the low-voltage supply to the charging station.
- Inspect and clean accessible mower/station charging contacts.
Stop if: the mower has damaged wiring, a swollen/damaged battery, severe vibration, water inside electrical areas, or would require opening sealed electronics.
What this fault can mean
Mower stays in charging station. Similar symptoms can have more than one cause, so work through the checks in order rather than replacing parts immediately.
Diagnostic decision
- Manual mow works → schedule/settings
- No departure + station issue → charging/docking branch
- Error displayed → exact-code lookup
