Integration Guide Rev 01
Local reflections could impact light sensor measurements. Avoid bright or metallic paint near
the DLS 2 light sensor as this may interfere with incoming light values.
Multirotor
Install the DLS 2 on a rigid post such that it is the highest object on the aircraft, with a
minimum of 5 cm above the rotor plane.
Ensure that there are no obstructions in the DLS 2’s field of view to the sky, including
propellers and other items on the aircraft.
Keep the DLS 2 away from the aircraft GPS. Installing the DLS 2 near the aircraft GPS may
impact the aircraft’s GPS reception.
