Functions and technical features

According to the requirements of multi-rotor UAV, the Halo-2000 Generator aviation hybrid system developed by us is a 48V (12sli battery) hybrid system. The engine is powered by a single-cylinder and two-stroke gasoline engine, which has the characteristics of high output power and low fuel consumption. The motor adopts an integrated internal rotor motor, which is integrated with the engine so that the hybrid system has the advantages of small volume, lightweight, low noise and high mass power ratio. The controller has the protection functions of overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, under- voltage, short circuit, and Overspeed. Halo-2000 Generator hybrid system has the advantages of excellent quality, strong power source, long-time high-power output, and long endurance.

The installation dimensions of the aviation hybrid system Halo-2000 Generator are shown in Figure 4 below：

Installation mode

Install the hybrid system to the appropriate position of UAV, and the default is hoisting as shown in Figure 5 below：

The oil circuit connection mode is shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 below：

Preparation method of gasoline and lubricating oil
Use 95# or higher grade gasoline, Jaso FC grade or iso-l-egc grade or higher 2T engine oil (Motte 710 is recommended), use a proportioning pot, and prepare it according to the engine fuel ratio of 25:1 (gasoline: engine oil). It is strictly prohibited to use vehicle 4-stroke engine oil; The specific preparation steps are shown in Figure 8 below.

1. Add #95 more gasoline to the scoreline
2. Add lubricating oil to the scribed line
3. Shake the proportioning bucket upside down and mix the fuel

Inspection items before use

1. Check whether the connectors of the system and controller are connected and installed in place.
2. Check whether there is enough fuel in the oil tank and whether the fuel pipe is connected correctly.
3. Spark plugs shall be checked before use. Spark plugs with excessive carbon and oil stains shall be replaced or cleaned.
4. Check the steering gear mechanism and check whether the steering gear pull rod ball joint rotates flexibly. If it is stuck, it needs to be repaired.
5. Check the position of the steering gear and throttle, and check whether the steering gear operates normally and whether the throttle position is correct.
6. Check the motor and check whether the motor rotates normally.
7. Check the oil pipe. The oil pipe shall not directly contact with heat sources such as engine or motor, and avoid excessive bending of the oil pipe.

Precautions for starting the engine

1. Before starting the engine, press the transparent oil bubble on the carburetor by hand (as shown in Figure 9) to make the oil inlet pipe full of oil and free of bubbles;
2. After the engine is started, the idle speed must be maintained for 30s to make the crankshaft, piston and connecting rod more fully lubricated;
3. Failure to start for many times may cause the spark plug to be flooded. In this case, replace or dry the spark plug and try to start again;
4. When starting the cold engine, close the choke. After starting the idle speed, open the choke (as shown in Figure 10). When starting the hot engine, it is not necessary to close the choke.

Operation (Mode 1: Two-Key Control)

1. Receiver sending pulse width, 1.1ms (reserved), 1.5ms (start, idle 30s) and 1.9ms (stop), cycle 20ms:
2. The remote controller is equipped with a three-position switch (1.1ms is idle and not used).

Start or idle ：

First, turn the three-position switch of the remote control to the “superscript” position, then turn it from the “superscript” position to the “subscript” position, pause for 2 seconds, and then turn the three-position switch of the remote control to the “bid winning” position to start the hybrid system (if it is not started, repeat the above methods).

Power generation operation ：

After the engine is ignited and idling, the hybrid system does not need any manual operation. After 30s warm-up protection, the system automatically enters the power generation state.

Shut down ：

When the hybrid system is in the idle running state, turn the three-position switch of the remote control from the “bid winning” position to the “subscript” position to stop, the system reduces the speed, enters the 30s shutdown idle running state, and stops automatically after 30s.

1. R system controller receiver signal pulse width definition

2. To start the Halo-2000 Generator aviation hybrid system, please first confirm whether the three-position switch of the remote control is normal.

3. Turn the position-control switch of the remote control to the “middle” (as shown in Figure 11) position for idle operation,  Observe the bus voltage and ensure that the bus voltage is stable at 48V ± 2V.

4. Observe the bus voltage and operate stably for about one minute to warm up the engine.

5. In case of maneuver or gust during flight, the bus voltage will drop to 46v, which is a normal phenomenon. If the bus voltage drops rapidly and continuously and is lower than 45V, special attention shall be paid, and it shall be lowered immediately for maintenance if necessary.
   Halo-2000 Generator can be equipped with about a 90-second emergency landing lithium battery (lithium battery specification, 1850mah, 12s Grignard aircraft model battery). If you need a longer landing time, please contact the manufacturer．

6. Fuel depletion during operation will cause serious damage to the Halo-2000 Generator aviation hybrid system, and the optional oil level can be used The sensor monitors the amount of remaining fuel to ensure that it stops running before the fuel runs out.

Operation mode 2: Three-Key Control

1. The receiver sends pulse width, 1.1ms (power generation operation), 1.5ms (startup and idle operation status) and 1.9ms (shutdown), with a cycle of 20ms:
2. The remote controller is equipped with a three-position switch. First confirm that the remote control switch is in the “superscript” position, as shown in the figure.

Starting or idling:
First, turn the three-position switch of the remote control to the “superscript” position, then turn it from the “superscript” position to the “subscript” position, pause for 2 seconds, and then turn the three-position switch of the remote control to the “bid winning” position to start the hybrid system (if it is not started, repeat the above methods).

Power generation operation:
After the engine is ignited and idling, turn the remote control to the “superscript: a position to enter the power generation state.

Idle operation:
When the hybrid system is in the power generation operation state, turn the remote control switch from the “superscript” position to the “bid” position to enter the idle state.

Shutdown:
When the hybrid system is running at idle speed, turn the three-position switch of the remote control from the “bid winning” position to the “subscript” position to stop, enter the shutdown state and stop the hybrid system.

1. System controller receiver signal pulse width definition
2. To start the Halo-2000 Generator aviation hybrid system, please first confirm whether the three-position switch of the remote control is normal.
3. Turn the three-position control switch of the remote control to the “bid winning” (as shown in Figure 12) position for idle operation, Observe the bus voltage,
4. Observe the bus voltage and operate stably for about one minute to warm up the engine.
5. In case of maneuver or gust during flight, the bus voltage will drop to 46v, which is a normal phenomenon. If the bus voltage drops rapidly and continuously and is lower than 45V, special attention shall be paid, and it shall be lowered immediately for maintenance if necessary.
6. Fuel depletion during operation will cause serious damage to the Halo-2000 Generator aviation hybrid system, and the optional oil level can be used The sensor monitors the amount of remaining fuel to ensure that it stops running before the fuel runs out.

Stop operation

1. After the continuous flight, the Halo-2000 Generator system needs to be cooled. Therefore, after landing, please turn the three-position control switch of the remote control to “Middle”(as shown in Figure 11), the system will automatically idle for 30 seconds, and the system will automatically shut down after 30 seconds.
2. After the booster runs, some parts are at high temperatures. After the booster stops running, please do not touch the booster to avoid scalding.
3. Hint

maintenance

Routine maintenance items (after each operation)

1. Check whether the controller circuit plug is in good contact and whether the oil pipe is loose;
2. Check whether the controller is damp and keep it dry;
3. Check the motor for dirt and moisture, remove the dirt and keep it clean and dry; 6.1.4 Check the air filter, remove dirt and keep it clean;
