Step2When the drone y to a line change point, release direction joystick back to middle position, now the drone will hover. pull direction joystick left or right and then middle, it will y to the start point of next line. Step3Repeat step 1-2 to nish the spray work . During spraying, the height can be adjusted accordingly, the drone will y at xed height when throttle joystick stay at the middle position. Spray ow rate associated with the ight speed of the drone, the greater the speed the greater the ow; it will stop spraying when speed is less than 0.5 m/s.
(4). A-B Point Mode A-B point mode is a fast automatic route planning mode, users need to conrm the GPS signal is good. methods are as follows:
Operating inter val B A Route L 9. Restart At Pesticide Breaking Point The drone has dose detection function, when the dose is insufcient, the drone will record breaking point, and will automatically y to the breaking point to restart spraying after reloading pesticide. Dose sensor switch interface is as the following gure, you can disconnect it and cancel the dose detection function. Two interfaces: Green is for battery power of the pump, RED is for dose detection Step1:Fly the drone to start point A, SA switches from STANDBY to RECORD POINT Aposition,then the drone will record point A gps coordinate, LED will ash 10 times in RED (10) Step2Fly the drone to Point B position, SA switches to RECORD POINT Bposition, then the drone will record point B gps coordinate, LED will ash 10 times in GREEN
(10) Step3Switch SB to A-B MODE, LED ash 8 times in BLUE (8), pull direction joystick left or right and then middle, it will y to the start point of next line and then y in route L and spray in uniform speed and xed height. Step4Quit A-B MODE when nish spraying, the drone will hover. Only in spray mode or GPS mode can record A and B point. A-B mode is not available when the drone is on ground. During operation, the LED ashes 3 times in RED
(3) when ying to point A, and then ashes 3 times in GREEN (3) when ying to point B. Erase A and B point: 1) Exit A-B mode, re-record the A and B point; 2) Toggle SA up and down 8times and LED will ash 10 times in YELLOW (10); 3) A and B point will be erased when erase the pesticide break point(refer to next page); 4)If pesticide breaking point has not been recorded , A and B point will be erased automatically when the drone land and auto locked. Step1When low dose is detected, the aircraft will decelerate, automatically rise 1.5 meters and hover (Gesture / GPS mode will not rise), record the current position, LED ash 4 times in light blue
(4), in the process of rising , you can switch SD to stop rising, the drone still records pesticide breaking point. Step2When nish rising, the drone will hover, you can manually operate the drone to return or press the auto return switch(if HOME position recorded). Step3After reloading, the drone will automatically rise to the 2.5meter height and y back to break point, and then drop to the operating height and restart spraying
(you can pull throttle joystick to stop dropping). If the drone record the breaking point, pull the throttle up to 70% and then back to middle when it is rising, and then it will automatically y back to the breaking point and restart spraying. Spray mode, A-B mode, gesture mode and GPS mode all allow record breaking POINT, but automatic ight back to the point is NOT available in gesture mode. Toggle SD 4 times can erase the current breaking point. Also it will clear automatically After drone landing and locking for 15 minutes. 07 08 Agriculture Drone User manual Agriculture Drone User manual 10. Return Command 13.Battery Charge Only when the GPS signal is good and return landing position has been record
(10) ), can the drone before ight starts (LED will ash 10 times in BLUE if recorded receive return command, method as follows:
Step1Switch SC to RETURN position, the drone will automatically rise 1.5 meters and hover, (will not rise in gesture mode or GPS mode), and record the breaking point. Step2Toggle SC once and back to RETURN position, the drone will rise up 2 meters and then return. Step3Restart the drone (refer to method of restart at pesticide breaking point). the drone will automatically rise to the 2.5meter height and y back to break point, and then drop to the operating height. (user can pull throttle joystick to stop dropping) Battery Charging: User shall charge battery when voltage is low.
