SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
5
The RDS2 has moving parts that can cause injury. Never reach into or touch the RDS2 while it is in operation. Always
control the RDS2 manually if on the ground.
Do not change or adjust anything on the RDS2 unless the change is authorized by the manufacturer.
The RDS2 is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical and/or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children under the age of 16 should not operate the RDS2.
Any modifications made to the RDS2 without the manufacturer’s approval will invalidate the product’s warranty.
1.1 Important Safety Information
Do not deliver payloads heavier than 10kg/22lb. Deliver is defined by DELIVER, REEL-DOWN, DROPOFF. Payload
includes the automatic release hook or manual hook.
Do not reel up payloads heavier than 5kg/10lb. Reeling up is defined by REELUP.
Do not deliver above 45m AGL (Above Ground Level). 45m AGL is the max delivery height. 20-30m is the
recommended delivery height to maintain target accuracy. This height is the relative distance from the drone to the
ground measured by the RDS2’s lidar.
Do not operate in rain or wet conditions. The RDS2’s electronics are not yet IP rated.
Do not operate without prop-strike protection. The RDS2 includes safety wire that is used for protecting against
prop-strikes.
Do not operate in adverse wind conditions. We do not recommend delivering in winds above 8-12mph(gentle breeze).
Inspect tether before each delivery. The area most prone to wear is at the tie-down point where the tether meets the
release hook or release device. If there is any visible fraying, please snip and re-tie.
1.2 Operational Limitations
Electrical Safety
The RDS2 must be used in conjunction with the delivered cables and plugs. In combination, they
guarantee safe use in relation to short-circuit, overload, over-voltage and over-temperature.
Always turn off the drone before doing maintenance or modifications.
Mechanical Safety
The RDS2 contains moving parts. Keep your hands out of the moving mechanisms when ground
testing in order to prevent injury.
Operational Safety
Never operate the RDS2 directly over people. Always follow the drone manufacturer’s operational
procedures when on delivery missions. Make sure to fly in accordance with federal and local laws.
