• Payload is configured, ready to operate and fixed correctly. • Check the LEDs. • Air filters are clean. Two air filters must be checked. You can open the case pulling on one of its corners. 3.2. Pre-flight Checking 43

Take out the filter and clean them or replace them

• Check the aircraft structure. – Fuselage without damage or fissures. – Arm connectors properly tightened and its security screws also. – Propellers screws properly tightened. – Landing gear without fissures. • Check that the power line GC Station - Tether have not fissures or damage. • Check the contact pins in the arms connection to ensure that they are clear. They should be able to establish easy contact. Open male banana connectors to get proper connection using a small tool if necessary. 46 Chapter 3. Maintenance

Optimal male banana contacts

3.3 Post-flight • Tight propeller screws and check they are not damaged. • Check the aircraft structure. – Fuselage without blows and fissures. – Motors fixed properly. – Nuts of the three arms are tightened rightly. – Landing gear without fissures. • Payload is fixed correctly. • Check that the power line GC Station - Tether have not fissures or folds while it rolls. • Tether cleaning before storage. • Open the drain situated on the bottom of the Ground Control Station, only in case of rain. Warning: TS150 can’t operate while it is raining. If you are operating and it starts to rain, you have to finish your operation immediately, keep the Tether in its Ground Control Station and open the drain. TS150 is classified as IP53 device and this means it can be operated safely in light rain condition. As light rain criterion, the reference is considered to be the AEMET* description for lluvia débil. It is defined as a maximum rain of 2 [mm/h] (2 millimeters per hour) equivalent to 0,0787 [in/h]. 3.3.1 Cleaning the system • All cleaning actions must be done with all system powered off. 3.3. Post-flight 47

• After each flight use compressed air and/or a dry cloth to clean the complete system of dust and dirt.

• If the system has contact with salty/marine ambient, do a special cleaning after each use. – Use a damp cloth with fresh water to remove the salt on the equipment. Never leave the equipment drying with salty water on it. – Disassemble the arms from the multicopter and use fresh water to remove the salt from the motors. Let them dry, and check the contacts are not corroded. If corrosion exists, it is not safe to fly. – After cleaning with fresh water, be sure to let the equipment dry. You can use compressed air and/or a dry cloth. • Store it dry, never with humidity, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. 3.4 Periodical events 3.4.1 Cable unrolling In order to ensure correct operation of the mechanism that collects the cable, it is necessary to unwind it completely manually and rewind it. This operation must be performed every 4 flights. Special attention must be paid in order not to let the cable makes knots. 3.4.2 Tether arms change Every 1000 flight hours or damage. You must follow this steps and you will need a new arm (Figure: New Arm) 48 Chapter 3. Maintenance

1. Get a new one. Write to [email protected] asking for NMTE009 Arm.

2. Unscrew the set screws and the nut. 3.4. Periodical events 49

3. Disengage the arm by pulling it straight and parallel to its longitudinal axis. Be careful not to damage or deform

bullet connectors. 4. Insert the new one. Be careful with the notch showed in Figure: Face 1 and Figure: Face: 2. Insert the arm by pushing it straight and parallel to its longitudinal axis. Be careful not to damage or deform bullet connectors. 50 Chapter 3. Maintenance

3.4.3 Preventive Battery Replacement Unit change

As battery life gets worse over time, it is strongly recommeded to replace battery replacement unit (BRU) every year. This will avoid future problems with the autonomy in an emergency landing. 3.4.4 Overhaul Every 5000 flight hours an special inspection is necessary Check list: • Fully inspect all hardware components. • On the multicopter itself, you want to make sure there is no damage to gimbal, rotors, propellers, or other key components. 3.4. Periodical events 53

• Check the contact pins in the arms connection to ensure that they are clear. They should be able to establish

easy contact and should not be bent. • Check the upper and lower plates of the center frame for cracks and damage. If wear exists, it is not safe to fly. • Check the arms knobs for wear. If the frame arm is loose after the knob is locked it is not safe to fly. • Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise or vibration from the cooling fans located on the bottom cover of the aircraft. • Check the motor base for cracks and damage. If wear exists, it is not safe to fly. • Check the connection between the motor base and the arm tube. • Check the propellers. If there is any bending, breakage or cracks on a propeller, do not use it. • Checking the landing gear for cracks and damage. If wear exists, it is not safe to fly. • Check the motors for deformities and the motor spins freely and looks fine. • Remove the propellers and start the motors. Carefully examine the edge of the motor rotor and confirm that the shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If excessive vibration is detected , it is not safe to fly. • Remove the propellers and start the motors. Listen carefully for any abnormal noise, which may indicate that the bearings have worn out and the motors need to be replaced. • Check all accessible screws are properly tighten. • Payload is configured, ready to operate and fixed correctly. • Check all the three LEDs. • Air filters are clean. Despite of positive result of this inspection, continuing the operation will be under customer responsibility. After this inspection an overhaul is recommended at Embention facilities. 3.5 Corrective Maintenance This procedures must be performed when some system or part of the aircraft has suffered damages. Warning: TS150 is a complex unmanned aerial system, for this reason we recommend to the user to perform only simple repairs. To solve other issues, please contact with Embention. 3.5.1 Propeller replacement If one of the propellers is broken, you must follow this steps and you will need: 54 Chapter 3. Maintenance

3.5.3 Battery Replacement Unit maintenance

Battery Replacement Unit There are two different situations when battery needs to be replaced: 1. After an emergency landing. The system is designed to be used just once. 2. When Tether App shows that battery voltaje is lower than 20 V. This means that one of the cells is not working properly and the application will not let you fly. Warning: Do not replace the battery while multicopter is powered on. 62 Chapter 3. Maintenance

Tether App Interface

1. It is strongly recommended to have more than one BRU available. If this is not the case, you can get a new one. Write to [email protected] asking for NMTE014 Battery Replacement Unit. 2. It is necesary to disassemble the rear landing gear as detailed below: • Unscrew the 2 ISO 7380 M3 screws [1-2]. • Rotate the rear landing gear and unscrew ISO 7380 M3 screws [3-10]. 3. Take out the used BRU module. 4. Disconnect the battery from the 4K board (2 EC5 connectors and the signal one). 5. Change the BRU module and connect again all the connectors with 4K board. 6. Install the new BRU module and screw again all screws to lower chassis. 7. When BRU is assembled, screw both screws [1-2] to rear landing gear. 3.5. Corrective Maintenance 63

3.6 Conditions Of Storage Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to ensure that the built-in LiPo battery does NOT overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 22° and 28°C (71° and 82° F) for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the temperature range of -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F). This equipment has LiPo battery integrated on the system. Battery life may be reduced if not used for a long time. For this reason, it is good to switch on the Multicopter until battery voltaje reach 23.3V at least once every 3 months in order to maintain battery health. 3.7 Flight Hours Record To know when you have to carry out a periodical event, you have to use this Flight Hours Record. 64 Chapter 3.
