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.
