4.1.23 Start Ignitions
Start Test Ignitions:
INJECTING AND DROPPING
WARNING: If ignition spheres are loaded in the hopper, this will cause them to be
injected and pose a fire risk. If performing this step, do so under controlled conditions.
To start continuous drops, ensure that Ignis is armed. On the M600, move S3 on the
control bar into the upward position to arm Ignis. On the Alta X and IF 1200 press button C
to arm Ignis. Then press the Start button in the Drone Amplified Android app to start
dropping.
Once the app says “DROPPING” verify that ignition spheres are dropping from Ignis
either by line of sight or through the on-board camera.
If you want to test Ignis and do not want to ignite ignition spheres, we recommend
removing the needles for this test to make sure that the ignition spheres cannot be injected.
During this process, verify the following:
●
The puncture motor moves.
●
The A and B hatches open without obstruction
●
Ignition spheres are loaded and punctured in both A and B (if performed with
ignition spheres).
●
Fluid is injected in both A and B.
