Acoustic signals – LED displays
After switching ON the ARF-MikroKopter the connected modules will start initialization.
–
The BL-Ctrl (Motor regulator) checks on the individual connected motor
–
The FlightCtrl checks the connected electronic
The initialization is signaled by certain beeps the Kopter.
After the initialization is sucessfully done the green LED on all electronic modules should light. On the MK-GPS an
additional blue LED lights will start blinking with a successful Satfix.
A red LED will blinkon the FlightCtrl, NaviCtrl or the BL-Ctrl if an error occures.
Those errors can be displayed with the HoTT transmitter or read on the KopterTool.
If after the review of the
ARF Mikrokopter
and after re-connecting the battery an error message continues to appear,
please contact our support
(ARF-Support@HiSystems.de).
The Initialization:
After connecting the battery the initialization begins:
•
A short „beep“ via the buzzer of the ARF-MikroKopter
•
Each motor will be tested individually and one after the other through the appropriate BL-Ctrl. Here each motor
gives a „tone interval“ and the appropriate motor moves for a short time.
•
After that, a long „beep“ will sound from the buzzer of the ARF-MikroKopter, followed by 4 short beeps.
•
After a short break a last „beep“ will sound and the initialization is finished.
If you missed it to turn on the transmitter you will hear, after the initialization, tone intervals of short and long tones. If the
transmitter will be turned on, the warning signal stops.
This warning signal you will also hear during a reception failure.
Low voltage warning:
If the voltage of the connected battery reaches a critically low level during operation the low voltage warning sounds. This
is signaled by fast beeps.
The Graupner HoTT transmitter will also warn you of low-voltage using the telemetry.
Signaling the battery warning, the ARF-MikroKopter should be landed immediately and the battery should be charged or
changed.
Switching the functions:
•
GPS-Functions (PositionHold / ComingHome)
◦
Each time you switch between the functions the Kopter will confirm with a short „beep“.
◦
INFO: If there is no Satfix yet and you switch to the function PositionHold or ComingHome a short „beep“
will sound in second intervals. That stops, if there is a Satfix. A Satfix will be signaled with a longer „beep“.
•
CareFree
◦
After switching on this function it will be confirmed with a short „beep“.
•
Height regulator
◦
If the height regulator is switched on you will hear via the buzzer of the ARF-Mikrokopter a continuously
tone interval.
Voice output:
A voice output of the telemetry data and the switch process of height, PositionHold, ComingHome and CareFree will be
provided via the Graupner HoTT MX-20 / MC-32 transmitter. The MC-32 uses here a built-in loudspeaker. For the MX-20
you need to connect an external loudspeaker.
