Introduction 

The DRS-M210-V2 is an autonomous parachute solution for the DJI M210-V2 (UAV), 
providing the following advantages 

 

Very  light-weighted

,  because  we  are  not  using  a  pyrotechnical,  spring  or 

servo-approach  to  eject  the  parachute,  but  a  very  light-weighted 
internationally patented catapult mechanism 

 

Completely autonomous

 due to own developed and from the flight controller 

independent electronics 

 

Easy to reuse

 within minutes 

 

LED + acoustical indication signal

 before take-off and when the parachute 

gets deployed 

 

No explosive component

 to deploy the parachute 

 

Simply to attach and detach due to a 

bayonet mechanism

 

This  document  will  guide  you  through  the  system  components,  installation, 
configuration and pre-flight checks as well as possible firmware updates, storage 
and maintenance recommendations.
