Multiple Safety Features
•
APP display and voice.
Visual and voice messages are broadcast to keep the pilot informed
about all aspects of the flight. The system will warn you by voice and display that the
battery is low, height, voltage or when Magnetic interference is detected. - a set of earplug
headphones could be useful to hear the messages.
•
Thrust Loss Detection
will automatically release the bait and RTL.
•
Low Battery Failsafe – The Low voltage failsafe level is set at 22 volts. On reaching this, the
bait/line will be released automatically and the EX-2 will automatically Return to Launch
(RTL).
•
Loss of signal Failsafe
– If the EX-2 loses connection with the transmitter, the bait/line will
be released automatically and the EX-2 will Return to Launch (RTL).
•
World Magnetic Database
- This means the compass calibration is only required to be done
once – We will do this at the Seahorse Factory.
•
Launch prevention mode
- The EX-2 will not ARM or start the motors unless everything is
working correctly. This includes having sufficient GPS Satellite connections and sufficient
voltage in the battery.
•
Anti-pendulum feature
- The POS mode has a softer and slower de-acceleration to assist in
limiting the degree to which a pendulum motion can occur with the bait. This allows for
shorter leaders to be used with safety.
•
RTL speed
– Return to Launch ‘RTL’ speed has been increased to get the drone off the
water as soon as possible.
•
L
anding detection
– The new landing detection feature DURING AUTO-LAND will shut off
the motors as soon as the drone detects a landing. Motors will also be shut off if it detects
a crash. For RTL landings, the EX-2 will begin it’s descent quite fast, slowing down for the
last 5 metres. For manual landing, it is required to hold the left stick down. Do not move
the right stick once the drone is on the ground.
•
Distance and Altitude Geo-fence
- Although the EX-2 can operate up to 1.5kms- the Geo-
fence settings are set at the factory to 1200 metres distance and 60 metres altitude. This
geo-fence parameter allows enough battery time for the drone to return safely when the
low battery self protect function is enabled.
•
Magnetic interference monitoring
- Auto adjustment and verbal warnings.
•
BlackBox recording
– The BlackBox will record the flight telemetry which can be accessed
by Seahorse to assess flight performance and identify any issues.
The Seahorse EX-2 KontikiDrone is a development of the REVO4 and Matrix drones. The EX-2 is
designed as a fishing drone, waterproof with to ability to float and take off from the water.
designed to pull hooks and baits out to sea.
Drones only fly because they have counter-rotating propellers, the front left and rear right
propellers rotate clockwise and the front right and rear left rotate counter-clockwise. Another way
to view it is the propellers rotate into the ends of the drone.
