NOTE:
Power is automatically reduced when the controller
temperature exceeds 75˚C. The pilot may override this
protection by increasing the power again. When the
controller temperature reaches 80%, the power is
reduced by another 25% and a RED warning is
displayed on the DCU.
WARNING:
While turning the rotary command knob clockwise
observe in the rear-view mirror until the propeller starts
spinning. Observe all parameters are in limits and no
warning messages are displayed
WARNING:
The EXT/RETR toggle switch is used to immediately
remove power in an emergency (see Take-Off Abort
Procedure in Section 5.2.5). Take care to not
unintentionally bump the toggle switch when adjusting
the rotary command knob from MP to MCP.
WARNING:
Ensure the batteries are sufficiently charged and that
sufficient runway is available to perform a safe take-off.
WARNING:
If two HV batteries are installed and there is a
difference in the voltages of the batteries, only the
higher voltage battery will be connected to the HV bus.
The warning message “One battery disconnected: NO
TAKE-
OFF!!” will be displayed. Do not perform a take-
off in this case.
CAUTION:
It is not allowed to take off if the difference in SOC of
the HV batteries exceeds 10%. The SOC of the
batteries can be checked by conducting a static full-
power test.
NOTE:
In case the system has only allowed one battery to
become connected to the HV bus, battery equalization
can be performed by temporarily running the motor at a
low power setting t
o reduce that battery’s SOC. After
drawing-down the SOC, switch the system OFF then
