FrSky XYFFRIDMDL24 FrID Remote Broadcast Module Instruction Manual

Instruction Manual for FrID
Remote Broadcast Module
Version 1.1

Introduction

FrID (FrSky Remote ID Module) is a device in compliance with the FAA ASTM F3586-22 Standard. Attaching the FrID module to a Drones or RC aircraft, it can broadcast the route and other required information according to the standard request, and all the information will be transmitted to the monitor App in real-time for getting a compliant and safe flight. Additionally, by using the S.Port/FBUS capable receivers together with the FrID module, all the telemetry information of the module can be read directly on the radios.

LED Indicators & Operations

1. Power the FrID module by using a battery/power source (DC 4~10V) via S.Port (Smart Port);
2. If the Green LED indicator flashes at 2Hz, it indicates the FrID module is in search of the satellites or failed to position;
3. The LED keeps lit always if the FrID module works properly after collecting enough satellite signals; Now the air vehicles with the FrID module inside are ready for flight;
4. Disconnect the power source to have the FrID module off to work, and the LED indicator off.

Note: Please comply with the local aviation regulations and not have your air vehicles take off if the Green LED is in Off/Flash status.

regularly
Flash (2Hz)| Failed to position, or in the process of searching the satellites
Off| Off working, or without power connected

When and how to use this module?
Use when flying RC aircraft in areas not designated as FRIAs (FAA- Recognized Identification Area).

Note
By connecting to the FrSky telemetry receiver, the module data can be displayed on the radio.

How to inject the FAA-required information for the FrID module for preparing the flight?

1. In the Download tab of the FrID product page, download and install the Configuration program to your PC.
2. Connect the FrID module to the S.Port2 port of the STK tool, and switch the DIP to the UPGRADE mode,then connect the devices (STK with FrID module) to the USB port of PC.
3. Open the Configuration program and find the [RemoteID]→[FrID RemoteID Module] under the list of Sensor Category.
4. Select the detected COM port and click Connect, then click [Read] button and all the module info will be read and displayed.
5. Fill in the aircraft and flight-related information according to FAA regulations;
6. After completing the filling, click [write] to save the injected module information.

FCC Warning

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the device and receiver.
• Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

REMOTE ID FINAL RULE

UAS Remote Identification
Drones or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are fundamentally changing aviation, and the FAA is committed to working to fully integrate drones into the National Airspace System. Safety and security are top priorities for the FAA and remote identification (remote ID) of drones is crucial to our integration efforts.
What is Remote ID?
Remote ID is the ability of a drone in flight to provide identification and location information that can be received by other parties.
Why Do We Need Remote ID?
Remote ID helps the FAA, law enforcement, and other federal agencies find the control station when a drone appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where it is not allowed to fly. Remote ID also lays the foundation of the safety and security groundwork needed for more complex drone operations.
Final Rule on Remote ID
The final rule on remote ID will require most drones operating in US airspace to have remote ID capability. Remote ID will provide information about drones in flight, such as the identity, location, and altitude of the drone and its control sta-tion or take-off location. Authorized individuals from public safety organizations may request identity of the drone’ s owner from the FAA.
The FAA’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems was published on December 31, 2019.
The FAA received over 53,000 comments on the NPRM during the 60-day comment period following publication. The FAA reviewed all of the comments and considered them when writing the final rule. The final rule has been submitted to the Federal Register for publication.

• Remote ID Capability Is Built Into The Drone
• From Takeoff To Shutdown, Drone Broadcasts:
• Drone ID
• Drone Location and Altitude
• Drone Velocity
• Control Station Location and Elevation
• Time Mark
• Emergency Status

DRONES WITH REMOTE ID BROADCAST MODULE

Drone Broadcasts Remote ID Information Via Radio Frequency, e.g. Wifi & Bluetooth

• Remote ID Capability Through Module Attached To Drone
• Limited To Visual Line Of Sight Operations
• From Takeoff To Shutdown, Drone Broadcasts:
• Drone ID
• Drone Location and Altitude
• Drone Velocity
• Takeoff Location and Elevation
• Time Mark

FAA-RECOGNIZED IDENTIFICATION AREA [FRIA]

DRONES WITHOUT REMOTE ID

• Drones Without Remote ID Can Operate Without Broadcasting
• Drones Without Remote ID Must Operate Within Visual Line Of Sight and Within the FRIA
• Anyone Can Fly There, but FRIAs Can Only be Requested by Community-Based Organizations and Educational Institutions
