Ignis Operations Manual (DJI M600 Variant)
Drone Amplified
6 Amplified Emergency Procedures
6.1 Communication Failure Checklist
If there is a communication failure between Ignis and the drone or between the ground station
and the Drone/Ignis the system should automatically stop ignitions.
6.1.1 Stop Ignitions and Dropping
Stop Ignitions and Dropping
:
Switches Off, System Stopped
Press the Stop button in the app to stop dropping. To also disarm Ignis in order to
prevent accidentally starting again, move the Arm/Disarm switch (S3) on the control bar
into the disarm position (down and away from the user), as shown in Figure 4. This will
safely stop dropping at any point, although additional ignition spheres may be dispensed as
they are cleared from the chutes. Note that the stopping process can take 5-10 seconds while
the system purges any additional ignition spheres and performs a calibration process.
6.1.2 Alert Operators and Bystanders

If dropping does not stop and the drone is under control, keep the drone over an area
where ignitions are safe before proceeding to next step.
Verify visually that dropping and ignitions have stopped. If it has not stopped and the
drone is under control, keep the drone over an area where ignitions are safe before proceeding
to next step. If it has not stopped and the drone is not under control, then prepare for
potential fire ignitions along the route of flight.
