Lightning Protection and Grounding Requirements
Earth-Termination System
The earth-termination system is an important part of the lightning protection
system that can discharge the electrical current to the earth. Use an earthing
resistance meter to measure the earthing resistance, and make sure that the
earthing resistance for the dock is less than 10 . It is recommended to use an
existing outdoor earth-termination system when installing the dock. Once the
distance between the earth-termination system and the dock is greater than 0.5
m, install the 40 mm × 4 mm flat steel within 0.5 m of the dock and connect it
to the earth-earth electrode. If there is no existing earth-termination
system, additional earth electrodes and installation is required. Follow the
below descriptions for producing and installing the earth electrode.
A. Requirements for producing and installing the earth electrode
· It is recommended to produce a vertical earth electrode using hot-dip
galvanized steel, copper, or copper-clad steel. The recommended length of the
vertical earth electrode is 1.5-2.5 m according to the soil quality and
geographical conditions around the earth electrode.
· The earth electrode number is determined by the size of the earth-electrode
network and the geographical environment. The distance between any two
vertical earth electrodes should not be less than 5 m. When using an earth-
electrode network, make sure its four corners use the vertical earth
electrodes.
· If using angled steel, make sure one end is pointed, which can be made by
using oblique cutting.
· When installing the earth electrode under the ground, the depth should
generally be no less than 0.7 m (the distance between the upper end of the
earth electrode and the ground surface). In cold weather regions, the earth
electrode should be installed below the permafrost layer. In areas with thin
gravel soil, the installation depth of the earth electrode should be
determined according to actual conditions.
· When using an earth resistance meter, make sure to operate it according to
its instructions, and to perform short-circuit zero calibration on the meter
before performing the measurement.
· If the earth resistance does not meet the requirements of the dock
installation, it is recommended to use multiple earth electrodes and apply a
long-term resistancereducing liquid or use a special earthing rod.
· If the earth resistance is less than 10 , the lightning protection system
can be used for the other earth-termination systems.
B. Earth Electrode Specifications
When the earth electrode is made of hot-dip galvanized steel, the length
depends on the needs of the installation. The specifications are as shown as
below.

Using Third-Party Payloads
The aircraft is equipped with an E-Port that allows access to third-party
payloads such as loud speakers and spotlights. The E-Port lite can be used to
connect parachute payloads when the E-Port is connected to other devices. The
dock reserves a space inside the dock cover for storing the thirdparty
payload, which facilitates the expansion of the aircraft operating
capabilities.
· To ensure flight safety, make sure to follow the Payload Development
Criteria when developing PSDK payloads. Visit https://developer.dji.com
/payload-sdk/ to view the documentation and the DJI Enterprise Ecosystem
Solution Catalogue to learn more about the payload development criteria and
the recommended payloads.
· The E-Port supports high power output and standard PSDK functions, while the
E-Port Lite only supports a low power output of 5 V and PSDK parachute
payloads.
Third-Party Payload Requirements · Installing a third-party payload will
shorten the fight time and reduce the aircraft wind
resistance. Make sure to install the payload as needed. · The third-party
payload should have the protection rating of IP54 or above in order not to
reduce the working stability or the service life of the aircraft. · The port
of the third-party payload connecting to the aircraft should have a water-
resistant
rubber ring.
Installation Requirements · The size of the reserved storage space inside the
dock cover is 150 mm × 150 mm × 100 mm
(length×width×height). · The height of the PSDK payload must not exceed 70 mm.
· After installing the payload, make sure that the third-party payload does
not block the
aircraft vision system to avoid affecting the obstacle-sensing performance. ·
Make sure that the payload is installed securely to avoid risk of falling
payload during flight
tasks, which will seriously affect flight safety. · Make sure to seal the
ports properly when connecting the payload to the aircraft. Use
sealants if necessary. If any of the seals fail and water leaks into the
aircraft, it will seriously affect flight safety.
