PRESENTATION

Flying Eye is your partner in drone technology since 2009. We develop parachute systems since the appearance of the drone regulation in 2012. Pyrotechnic system from aviation technology, you have the most efficient and lightest system on the market.
Flying Eye could not be held responsible for any malfunction or inefficient operation.
We are at your disposal for any technical or commercial information.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Flying Eye may suspend the warranty and disclaim any liability to anyone who fails to observe the basic safety precautions set forth below. Flying Eye is not responsible for any damage or injury directly or indirectly related to the use of the fireworks or by the use of fireworks that do not meet the safety requirements and standards.

• No other operation is permitted other than that specified in the manual.
• The device should only be used by (or under the supervision of) a responsible adult. Always keep the device out of the reach of children. Do not let them play with it.
• Under no circumstances should you disassemble any part of the device, except during scheduled maintenance and in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
• Do not place the device in a damp or wet environment and keep it away from UV light.
• Do not expose the system to low or high temperatures, strong shocks, contact with chemicals, acids, or long-term storage in a humid or dusty environment. Incorrect use may cause the pyrotechnic cartridges to explode and put your life in danger. The maximum temperature of use is 40°C and the minimum temperature of use is -15°C.
• The good condition of the parachute system must be checked before each use. Do not use the device if it is damaged or malfunctioning. If this is the case, contact your dealer.
• The parachute cannot prevent the drone from malfunctioning.
• Any flight with a drone implies the existence of a risk for the equipment and people in the vicinity, with or without a parachute.
• The use of a parachute should not increase your risk.
• The parachute must be activated manually by the user. Regular training is necessary to to be able to react correctly in case of an emergency. Therefore, for the safety of the equipment and third parties, practice dummy releases on the ground regularly.
• The ejection system works only once. It must be returned to your dealer to be recharged.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Reliable and lightweight safety system for the S2 and S3 certification of the DJI MATRICE 30. It includes a double ultra fast parachute, a circuit breaker, an alarm and a secure radio trigger that is attached to the pilot’s remote controller.
The parachutes are removable in a few seconds.
The center of gravity of the Matrice 30 is maintained. Redundancy of the parachutes for a totally infallible system. The MATRICE 30 lands on its feet, when the parachutes are released, to avoid the breakage of an arm or a landing gear. Works correctly from 15 meters high thanks to the pyrotechnic technology borrowed from microlights.
Very low air penetration coefficient, which means that no vibrations are generated at high speeds, thus
maintaining a perfectly stable image.
Reliable, robust and light high-tech materials.
The assembly and disassembly of the system is doable by the customer. The system does not modify the integrity of the DJI MATRICE 30. The DJI manufacturer’s warranty is retained. Fits in the original case of the Matrix 30.

TECHNICAL SPECIALIZATIONS :

• Weight of the complete system: 540g
• Impact energy: 61 J
• Approved for 4.9kg
• Redundancy of the power cut electronics
• Double trigger button on the remote control
• Safety pin for handling pyrotechnic charges
• Encrypted frames (256 bits) – checksum to authenticate the frame. Association in both directions.
• Remote control autonomy of 40 hours (1800mAh lipo battery rechargeable by USB-C)
• Auto power Off (after 30 minutes without connection)
• Battery voltage display on the remote control
• Backup power allowing to trigger the parachutes up to 1 minute after a loss of power of the drone
• Firmware update via USB-C
