SPEEDSTEERING & TURNING

4.1 – Steering and Turning

Use the left joystick to navigate the vehicle forward and backward. Use the right joystick to rotate the vehicle left and right.

4.2 – Fast and Slow Speed Settings

Use the lower left-hand switch to control vehicle speed. Push it forward to go faster and pull it back to go slower. A warning will come up on the screen if the transmitter is turned on and Switch F is in the high rate position.

4.3 – Signal Strength

The range of the transmitter will vary according to the line of sight and how elevated the user is in relation to the rQPOD. If both are approximately 1 m (3.28 ft) above ground level the range is approximately 304.8 m (1000 ft) but this can be increased if the user is elevated. A signal strength indicator is shown below. An audible warning will be given when the connection is getting weak.

NOTE: If the rQPOD goes out of range it will not stop, but carry on going depending on the last command received.

4.4 – Telemetry and Servo Information

The telemetry information from the rQPOD is shown the the Radiomaster TX16s display as described below.

VFAS - This is the voltage from the rQPOD batteries and will vary depending on the amount of throttle that is being applied. A voltage at 17.4V indicates fully charged batteries and 14.4V indicates it to be nearly empty when no throttle is applied. When the propellers are turning, especially at a high speed, there will be a drop in the voltage. An audible "Battery Critical" alarm will go off if the voltage drops below 14.7V and the current is less than 2 A.

Tmp1 - This is the internal temperature of the rQPOD housing. Audible alarms are set to go off at temperatures below 5°C (41°F) and above 40°C (104°F). If the temperature alarms are activated, do not continue the operation. Limits are set based on the warnings for the Lipo batteries.

Batt - This shows the voltage of the handheld transmitter. The battery icon shows transmitter battery capacity and will give an audible and visual warning when it is getting low.

5. Propeller Servicing

Tools Needed:

• 2 mm Allen key

• Small Phillips or Cross head screwdriver

• Disconnect thruster from the rQPOD to ensure no power is being supplied. Remove the 3 screws that hold the main body of the thruster to the Kurt nozzle cowling. Gently pull the assembly apart.

6. Troubleshooting

This section provides an approach to establishing the cause of common malfunctions. If the problem cannot be resolved, please contact YSI Technical Support.

The rQPOD isn't turning on.

Solution: Check batteries, magnetic arm switch, and fuses. Fuses are located inside the battery chamber and can be removed using a long screwdriver. Replace with 20 A fuse if the fuse is blown. If it blows again, contact YSI. Fuse locations are indicated in orange on the diagram below.

The rQPOD does not steer straight.

Solution: First check that there is no debris in thrusters, especially in the rear cone of the thruster. This will require the removal of the assembly. If that is all clear, check that the trim switches are all set to zero on the transmitter. If it still doesn't steer straight and no wind or currents are affecting the Torrent board, then the sub trim can be adjusted on the transmitter.

NOTE: A copy of the Transmitter manual is included within the shipment.

NOTE: It is best to adjust the sub trim out of the water just after it has been submerged to ensure the bearings are lubricated. Do not run the thrusters excessively in the air.

Battery Use

1. Do NOT allow the batteries to come into contact with any kind of liquid. Do NOT leave batteries out in the rain or near a source of moisture. Do NOT drop the battery into water. If the inside of the battery comes into contact with water, chemical decomposition may occur, potentially resulting in the battery catching on fire, and may even lead to an explosion.
2. Never use non-DJI batteries.
3. Never use or charge swollen, leaky, or damaged batteries. If your batteries are abnormal, contact DJI or a DJI authorized dealer for further assistance.
4. Never install or remove the battery from the rQPOD when it is turned on. Do NOT insert or remove batteries if the plastic cover has been torn or compromised in any way.
5. The battery should be used in temperatures from -10^ircC to 40^ircC . Use of the battery in environments above 50^ircC can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of battery below -10^ircC can lead to permanent damage.
6. Do NOT use the battery in strong electrostatic or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, the battery control board may malfunction and cause a serious accident during flight.
7. Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any way or the battery may leak, catch fire, or explode.
8. Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes make contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes, and then see a doctor immediately
9. Do NOT use the battery if it was involved in a crash or heavy impact.
10. If the battery falls into water with the rQPOD during a mission, take it out immediately and put it in a safe and open area. Maintain a safe distance from the battery until it is completely dry. Never use the battery again, and dispose of the battery properly as described in the Battery Disposal section below. Do NOT heat batteries. Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher.
11. Do NOT put batteries in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container.
12. Do NOT place loose battery cells on any conductive surface, such as a metal table.
13. Do NOT put the loose cells in a pocket, bag or drawer where they may short-circuit against other items or where the battery terminals could be pressed against each other.
14. Do NOT drop or strike batteries. Do NOT place heavy objects on the batteries or charger. Avoid dropping batteries
15. Clean battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
16. Make sure the batteries are fully charged before each mission.

Battery Charging

1. Do NOT attach the batteries to wall outlets or car charger sockets directly and always use a DJI approved adapter. DJI takes no responsibility if the battery is charged using non-DJI charger.
2. Never leave the battery unattended during charging. Do NOT charge the battery near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces such as carpet or wood.
3. Do NOT charge battery immediately after mission, because the battery temperature may be too high. Do NOT charge the battery until it cools down to near room temperature. Charging the battery outside of the temperature range of 0^irc C - 40^irc C may lead to leakage, overheating, or battery damage.
4. Disconnect the charger when not in use. Examine the charger regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure, or other parts. Do NOT clean the charger with denatured alcohol or other flammable solvents. Never use a damaged charger.
5. The Intelligent Battery is designed to stop charging when it is full. However, it is good practice to monitor the charging progress and disconnect the batteries when fully charged.

Battery Storage

1. Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets.
2. Do NOT leave the battery near heat sources such as a furnace or heater. Do NOT leave the batteries inside a vehicle on hot days. The ideal storage temperature is 22^irc C - 28^irc C.
3. Keep the battery dry. Never drop the battery into water.
4. Do NOT drop, strike or impale, or manually short-circuit the battery.
5. Keep the battery away from metal objects such as glasses, watches, jewelry and hairpins.
6. Never transport a damaged battery or a battery with power level higher than 50%.
7. Discharge the battery to 40% - 65% if it will NOT be used for 10 days or more. This can greatly extend the battery life.
8. The battery automatically discharges below 65% when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent is from swelling. It takes approximately 3 days to discharge the battery to 65%. It is normal that you may feel moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process. Set the discharging thresholds in the DJI GO app.
9. The battery will enter hibernation mode if depleted and stored for a long period. When in hibernation mode, if you try to power on the battery, the battery power LED will show a solid red light and the battery level LEDs will all be off. You cannot manually turn off the battery power LED in this state. Leave the battery unattended for 5 minutes and then the light will turn off. Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation.
10. Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored for an extended period.

Battery Disposal

1. Dispose of the battery in specific recycling boxes only after a complete discharge. Do NOT place the battery in regular trash containers. Strictly follow your local regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of batteries.
2. If the power on/off button on the Intelligent Battery is disabled and the battery cannot be fully discharged, please contact a professional battery disposal/recycling agent for further assistance.

Battery Maintenance

1. Never use the battery when the temperature is too high or too low.
2. Never store the battery in environments with a temperature higher than 60^irc C.
3. Never over-discharge, as this may lead to battery cell damage.
