Ignis Operations Manual
Drone Amplified
The Ignis 2 system is approximately 20 x 33 x 40 cm as shown in Figure 1.2. With no
ignition spheres or antifreeze, the system weighs 2.02kg. With a full load of 400 ignition
spheres and antifreeze, the total weight is 4.015kg.

Battery and Power
The Ignis 2 requires a separate 2 Cell LiPo battery (nominal voltage of 7.4V, fully
charged voltage of 8.4V) with a standard XT60 connector (One such example is

ref=sr_1_4?keywords=2s+lipo+turnigy&qid=1570554570&sr=8-4). Always use
the batteries provided with Ignis 2 or a battery of similar kind and quality.
For best performance, the battery voltage should be above 7.0V during operation and we
do not recommend operations below 6.8V. A fully charged 2200mAh battery should allow
for over 2000 injections before dropping below 6.8V. However, temperature and operational
conditions can have a significant impact on the number of injections per battery charge. We
always recommend checking the battery voltage before flights (see
).

Safety Systems
Ignis contains numerous safety features to ensure safe and reliable operation. Before
delivery, each Ignis component undergoes rigorous individual tests and quality control, and
every system is tested in the factory after completion. Ignis contains more than a dozen
sensors and independent processors to ensure that each operation, from the puncturing to
the injection, is proceeding properly. The system continuously monitors motor speed,
current, and temperatures to make sure that all systems are operating correctly. Custom
designed needles, that are reinforced and supported at the injection point, reduce any risk
of bent or clogged needles and software monitors quickly detect these conditions and notify
the user. Finally, Ignis contains an ejection system that allows the detachment of the
Dropper from the Hopper in the case of an emergency.
