Preface

Thank you very much for selecting our product AIR6 .

Since 2006, AIRBORNE ROBOTICS has concentrated on challenging tasks involved in the development 

of aerial robots (drones) and today delivers the ultimate in airborne vehicles, which are in daily use with 

numerous customers.

The aerial robots from AIRBORNE ROBOTICS are shipped worldwide as a complete package including 

the appropriate software and flight training. As a manufacturer of industrial robots, we attach great 

importance to safety, which is evident in our developments, our products and even in this manual. We 

ask you to read this manual thoroughly and make sure always to follow the safety instructions.

As a pilot of a drone, you are responsible for the operation, the aircraft and its handling.

Before using and flying the drone for commercial purposes, there are some legal considerations which 

have to be observed in the European Union. We would ask you to ascertain the legal requirements and 

permits necessary for flying in your respective country.

If you plan flying abroad, you should inform yourself in advance about required approvals, as there are 

possibly local or regional requirements to be met.

In many countries, there is no airspace which is exempt from insurance, this means that you have to take out 

corresponding liability insurance prior to the first flight.

If you adhere to our safety regulations and handle the flight system carefully, you will have lots of fun in 

your daily work with our AIR6 .

With kind regards

Your Airborne Robotics team

Safety guidelines 

x Each pilot has sole responsibility for his own actions. This applies in particular to the technical condition of the 

aircraft, flight planning and execution, and for the compliance with legal provisions (permit to fly).

x Before each flight, a pre-flight check of the technical condition of the aircraft (checklist) has to be carried out. Particular 

attention must be given to checking the BATTERIES and their state of charge.

x Our airborne vehicles have numerous electronic flight support elements at their disposal, simplifying the control of the 

drone. Like all electronic or mechanical devices, problems could occur or it may not function properly. This could 

severely compromise or even deactivate the automatic flight control. The pilot must always be able to fly his aircraft 

even without these electronic support systems.

x Malfunctions of the electronic flight support equipment like compass, gyroscope, GPS are mostly detected by the 

integrated safety system and the corresponding sensor is deactivated by the control. However, in the worst case, this 

could lead to deactivation of the automatic flight mode “Loiter mode", "Attitude hold" or "Position hold". In this case, the 

pilot must always be able to take over manually the controls of the aircraft.

x Flight planning includes adherence to legal regulations. This applies in particular to the area of flight operations. 

Airports, restricted areas (military, power plants, disaster areas, gatherings of people...) have to be determined in 

advance.

x It is also important, however, to note the local conditions: Obstacles, rising terrain or possible sources of interference 

(power lines, houses and natural canyons or electrical installations producing strong electromagnetic fields) could 

prejudice the flight or the automatic control. Flights in such danger zones are to be avoided or have to be carried 

out with manual control only.

x Flying outside the pilot's field of vision is prohibited by law.

x Flying when wind speeds exceed the maximum permissible speed of 10m/s is not recommended. Please note that wind 

speeds at ground level are not a relevant guide at all! In particular, flying next to buildings and high objects (bridges, 

wind turbines or towers) bears the risk of very gusty winds, which can rapidly change direction and force.

x Do not fly at temperatures under -10° Celsius or over 45° Celsius. (See also chapter BATTERY)

x The use of components from other manufacturers, such as batteries, chargers, etc. which are not recommended or 

provided by Airborne Robotics, is at the user's own risk. Any modification of the flight systems is to be refrained from, 

unless it was expressly authorized by Airborne Robotics.

x The flight system is only protected against water to a limited extent. Do not fly during continuous rain, thick fog or 

snowfall. Do not start if it is foreseeable that such a situation could occur.

x Turning rotor blades can cause serious injuries. Approach the flight system only when the rotors are standing still 

and when the remote control mode is secured against switching on. Always be aware of your surroundings during takeoff and landing.

Breach of these directives may result in the guarantee and warranty becoming null and void. These directives apply to all 

persons entrusted with the operation of the systems. These guidelines make no claim to be exhaustive and under no 

circumstances relieve you of your responsibility of due diligence.

This information applies in addition to our General Terms and Conditions, our International Conditions of Sales and Safety Regulations. 

It neither replaces nor voids any other documents.

Battery equipment, replacement 

Before inserting / replacing the BATTERY PACK, find out whether the BATTERIES are designated as a flight PACK. With 

the LiPo tester, check for faultless condition and the voltage of each BATTERY before installation!

Only BATTERIES labeled with the identical PACK no. may be used together. Mixing the BATTERIES (BATTERY 

PACK1 + BATTERY PACK2) will generate a very high current in the case of a potential difference and could damage 

the BATTERIES.

Handling and storage of the LiPo batteries 

The batteries are the driving force of our motors. An airplane acquires lift due to its structural form. In the event of motor failure, 

a multicopter immediately crashes to the ground uncontrollably. Therefore, please respect and comply with all the stated 

instructions in order to protect your environment and your flight system.

x Before charging / discharging and putting the batteries into operation, inspect each battery for signs of damage (pinch, 

compressive deformation or crack formation). Under no circumstances use damaged batteries; there is a risk of selfignition or even explosion.

x Check the connecting cables (balancer connection / power supply cable) for damage.

x Only use the preset option in the charging device for charging and discharging the batteries. The battery chargers 

have been pre-programed by us and guarantee an optimally balanced charging / discharging process. For this 

process, the battery temperature should be 20-35 degrees.

x Do not interrupt a charging / discharging process, wait until the charger has terminated the process.

x Do not expose batteries to a temperature above 50 degrees!

x Only use batteries labeled as a flight pack for charging, discharging or for flying!

x The performance of LiPo batteries is very temperature-sensitive.

Before flight, the batteries must have a core temperature of 25-35 degrees.

Batteries under 20 degrees have a higher internal resistance causing increased voltage reduction in the battery under full 

load (full-power flight). This could lead to voltage collapse and the motors will stop.

x LiPo batteries need about 3 hours for heating through. Heating up cold batteries rapidly with a heat source does not 

have any effect on the condition described above! For this purpose, we can provide you with a digitally controlled 

warming case for LiPo batteries.

x Storage of the LiPo batteries.

Always store the batteries in dry conditions and, if possible, at 10-20 degrees. Discharge the batteries to storage 

voltage using our battery charger. During longer storage, refresh the storage voltage of the batteries every two months 

using the battery charger.

x If you detect damage of a battery, replace the complete flight pack. Mixing a new battery and a used battery is not 

permitted. Differences of potential and performance of different batteries generate a very high compensating current which 

results in permanent damage to the electronic system and the batteries!

x The indicated battery temperature (25-35 degrees Celsius) is not in contradiction to the operating temperature 

(-10 to 45 degrees Celsius). The only important factor here is the temperature of the batteries, which must be 

installed shortly before flight.

Remote control JETI DC16 + FPV (First Person View-Display) 

DC-16 is a radio remote control which can hardly be surpassed with regard to 

precision and which more than satisfies even the most exigent pilots.

For our copters, the RC has been enhanced by Airborne Robotics, the default 

settings are programed in the factory and every switch is labeled. A special 

feature is the acoustic alarm and remaining flight time announcements 

supporting the pilot in his job during flight.

DC16 carbon console+ FPV video-monitor set-up

In the DC16 not only one, but two radio transmitters are incorporated, creating a redundant radio link. Eight channels alternate in cycles 

of a millisecond. Advantage: If ever a radio channel is disturbed (by foreign transmitters on the same frequency), JETI switches 

automatically over the occupied frequency until it finds a usable free radio frequency and signal strength. Therefore, disturbances of the 

control of our copter by foreign transmitters/ jammers are almost impossible.

S1: Coming home function:

When activating the "Coming home function", the copter climbs to the highest position of its flight route or at least to 50m.

Afterwards, the system flies automatically on direct path to the last activation position (start). Upon reaching this position, the drone 

sinks to 20m and remains at this position for several seconds. The pilot can now check the landing zone and, if necessary, intervene 

actively in the control. If the pilot does not give any control command, the drone sinks slowly to the ground and lands.

For further functions and handling of the DC16, please refer to the manual "Duplex radio control system". We would, however, like 

to point out that all transmitters delivered by us are pre-programed for our copters. If these programs are modified, all guarantee 

or warranty claims become void for the entire system. Restoring the programming will be carried out exclusively at the 

factory and will be chargeable.

MFS (Mission Flight System) 

Our Mission Flight System MFS is pre-installed in the factory and is immediately ready-to-use after delivery. Plan automated flights over 

a selected area in a few short minutes instead of piloting the aerial robot manually.

The pilot can intervene in the automatic flight control at any time during the flight.

The MFS software is very complex and, in addition to the flight planning, manages the control 

of the various cameras, which can be established in the menu. This integration enables the 

MFS to calculate and execute automatic flight routes based on the flight planning, the 

altitude, speed and image overlap. For this purpose, the flight data are transmitted to the 

copter via a radio link.

For a detailed description see: http://planner.ardupilot.com/wiki/mission-planner-overview/

After the MFS planning, check your flight route against the real locations. The GPS maps are not up-to-date and all obstacles are not 

always visible in them (new house, power pole, wind turbine ...).

Connection laptop - drone:

Install the provided transmitter antenna on your laptop.

Start the installed MFS software and connect to the copter (batteries installed). Once your laptop has 

established the connection with the copter, you will receive first data on your display.

Telemetry data will show you important information for take-off/flight:

Gimbal (camera mount) 

A camera mount with horizontal / vertical electronic stabilization is also called a gimbal. By means of a stand-alone gyroscope, 

the camera position can be adjusted in a fraction of a second, resulting in the trimming of the camera independent of the drone. 

When moving (forward, backward, sideward), the drone is always inclined, depending on the speed, the bank angle can go up to 

45 degrees. This inclination has to be compensated by the gimbal, in order that a camera image can be constantly generated 

from the desired angle.

Airborne Robotics offers different gimbals, which are all optimally matched and adjusted to the desired type of camera. In the 

standard program, we offer gimbals for light cameras (FLIR / HD / Snap) or for large systems for HR cameras (NEX7 / A6000 / 

miniMCA / Optris ...).

If you contract us to do so, we will also tailor a gimbal for your own camera system.

Gimbal GB2-1000 Camera

FPV (First Pilot View) video uplink 

FPV is the video uplink from the drone to the ground station. In our case to the monitor, pre-mounted on your remote control.

The drone, equipped with our FPV option (non-standard), transmits images per radio 

link from the camera to your monitor.

This transmission is carried out via pre-defined channels (factory setting). 

However, we would like to point out that this transmission is not encrypted and 

could therefore also be used by third persons. Activating the transmission is not a 

requirement. Our FPV transmitter operates independently immediately following 

initialization of the drone.

Description FPV monitor: 

For further information regarding the monitor operation, please refer to the enclosed manual.

Maintenance / service 

All drones from Airborne Robotics have been designed for industrial use. Maintenance and service play a crucial role in this context. 

Only brushless motors are installed. They are insusceptible to malfunction and maintenance free. The complete electronics 

assembly is provided with a protective coating and the plug connections with a locking varnish.

Maintenance: 

Prior to every take-off, check your drone for visible damage. Rotor blades showing even minimal abrasions should be replaced. 

Damaged carbon tends to splinter or fray during load. This reduces the efficiency of the rotor blades and may result in vibrations.

Clean the drone with a soft cloth, if necessary.

Cleaning with compressed air is forbidden, as this could cause unnoticed damage or loosening of the wiring under the cowling. Do 

not use any chemicals for cleaning the drone, as they could attack the carbon, bondings or electronics.

Maintenance LiPo see page 16 + 17.

Service: 

Even when carefully maintained, you should send the drone to our factory for service after 2 years (or 200 flight hours). In spite of 

the brushless operation, the motor bearings will be worn and should be checked on a test bench.

If, before that, you notice an unusual noise when the rotors are turning, it indicates that the bearings are worn. In this case, takeoff should be interrupted immediately and the flight system should be sent for service.

For this, please contact your local dealer or our service department and make an appointment.
