FLIGHT OPERATION

Takeoff and landing:

1)   

Takeoff

 - Make sure the Nexus i2 PRS LED light ring is rotating 

yellow prior to takeoff. 

2)   

Arming the Nexus i2 PRS:

  The Nexus i2 PRS will not go into an 

Armed Mode or allow for manual deployment when on the ground or 
near the ground. After takeoff, once the Nexus i2 PRS reaches about 
15.24m (50 Ft), the Nexus i2 PRS will enter its Armed Mode and the 
LED light ring will change in color to rotating red. The Nexus MTD will 
give an audible tone that arming altitude has been reached and the 
MTD will display “Armed”. The Nexus i2 PRS system can now deploy 
manually or automatically.  

3)   

Automatic Disarming

 of the Nexus i2 PRS:  The Nexus i2 PRS 

will automatically re-enter it’s Pre-Armed Mode when the aircraft 
descends below about 7.62 m (25 Ft), this will be noted by a yellow 
rotating  LED  light  ring.  The  Nexus  MTD  will  give  an  audible  tone
stating that disarming altitude has been reached. The display on the 
Nexus MTD will read “System Pre-Armed”.

4)  

Landing

  The RPIC can land the UAV once the Nexus i2 PRS LED 

light ring is rotating yellow and the Nexus MTD indicates that the 
system has returned to “System Pre-Armed” mode.

WARNING - The disarming altitude is based on the altitude
recorded at the takeoff location. The system may not
automatically disarm if a pilot lands at a higher elevation than 

that of the original takeoff location. If the Nexus i2 PRS has not 
automatically  disarmed  then  it  should  be  kept  level  until  it  is 
manually disarmed with the Nexus MTD or by the Arm/Disarm 
button on the Nexus i2 PRS. Tilting an armed Nexus i2 PRS can 
cause the system to deploy.  A red rotating LED light ring always 
means that the system is armed and care should be taken.  

5)   

Manually Disarming

 To manually disarm the Nexus i2 PRS, press 

once and hold the arming button for 3 seconds on the Nexus i2 PRS 
or press once and hold the disarming button for 3 seconds on the 
Nexus MTD. Verify that the LED light ring has changed to rotating 
yellow to disarm the system. The manual disarm function works at 
any altitude and returns the system to “System Pre-Armed” mode. 
To fully disarm the system, press and hold the disarming button for 
3 seconds until the LED light ring changes to rotating green. The 
MTD will display “Disarmed”. 

* The unit can return to “Ready for Pre-Arm” without a power
   cycle by pressing and holding the arm/disarm button until the 
   LED light ring rotates blue and the Nexus MTD LCD screen
   displays “Ready for Pre-Arm”.

6)   The aircraft MUST be shut off before unplugging and
disconnecting the Nexus i2 PRS.

7)   

POWERING OFF

Press the power button once and then press again and hold until you 
hear an audible tone.
