Ignis Operations Manual
Drone Amplified
If Ignis encounters an error, dropping will automatically stop and Ignis will perform
recovery operations to return to a safe state. Dropping cannot be restarted until the error is
resolved.
The following is a list of the status messages that can be displayed in the app:
HIGH TEMP …
: Ignis’s temperature sensor is detecting a high temperature above the
injection chamber. An ignition sphere may have caught fire inside the dropper. Trigger
an emergency release to separate the dropper from the rest of the aircraft. The ellipsis
would display other information about Ignis’s status.
IDLE:
Ignis is currently idle and has no errors to report.
IDLE (STOPPED B/C ...):
Ignis is currently idle but stopped dropping because of an error.
The ellipsis would display the reason why Ignis stopped. Try restarting dropping.
DROPPING:
Ignis is dropping.
DISARMED BY CONTROLLER:
On DJI controllers, the Arm/Disarm switch on the left side
of the control bar is in the Disarm position. The switch must be moved to the Arm
position in order to start dropping. On the Herelink controller, button C needs to be
pressed to toggle Arm/Disarm.
FLYING OUTSIDE GEOFENCE:
Dropping was disabled because the drone is flying in an
area that is not enclosed by the geofence. Fly back inside the geofence, or modify the
geofence to include the current flight area.
DISALLOWED FLIGHT MODE:
Dropping was disabled because the drone is returning to
home, taking off, landing, or in an emergency state. Regain control of the drone to
enable dropping.
LOW BATTERY:
Ignis battery voltage dropped below a safe level (11.4 V on Ignis 1, 6.8 V on
Ignis 2). Use the app to check that the battery voltage is above this safe level. If it is, and
you don’t need to drop many more ignition spheres, attempt to restart dropping.
Otherwise, land and replace the battery. If Ignis is idle and the battery is close to or
lower than the safe level, then dropping is not recommended, as the battery voltage will
likely dip below the safe level while Ignis is puncturing an ignition sphere, which will
trigger this error again.
NO CONNECTION TO IGNIS:
The app is not receiving messages from Ignis and has
disabled dropping. Reconnect the app to the controller. If you are using a Matrice 600,
