SAFETY
ALARM VOLTAGE
This adjusts the per-cell voltage warning level. Below this value, the Status Light
will illuminate red and Orientation Lights will flash, indicating the flight packs are at
a low state of charge.
LAND VOLTAGE
This adjusts the per-cell voltage limit below which ALTA 8 will begin to Autoland
while flying in Height or Position Mode. Below this value, the Status Light and
Orientation Lights will flash to convey the flight packs are at or below the land
voltage. When flying in Manual Mode, the pilot will be alerted by the alarm
indication, but Autoland will not be initiated.
SAFE HEIGHT
This adjusts the minimum height above the starting point at which ALTA 8 will fly
during a Return-to-Home.
AUTOLAND DESCENT RATE
This adjusts the descent rate of the ALTA 8 during Autoland in meters per second.
This value is applied to the Autoland descent profile for the final 15 meters above
the ground until landing. The Autoland descent profile is hard-coded and adjusts
automatically as a function of height when the ALTA 8 is above 15 meters.
RTH SPEED
This adjusts the ground speed at which ALTA 8 will fly during a Return-to-Home.
SIGNAL LOS ACTION
This parameter determines the flight mode ALTA 8 will enter if it detects a Loss-of-
Signal (LOS). Selecting ‘LAND’ will cause ALTA 8 to Autoland in place when the LOS
is detected. Selecting ‘RTH’ will cause ALTA 8 to Return-to-Home and then Autoland
when the LOS is detected.
NOTE
Signal LOS Action functionality may be limited when using receiver
types other than S.Bus/S.Bus2 or DSM2/DSMX. Refer to the Flight
Controller Modes section of this manual for additional information.
