Parachute Manual for DJI M600 and M600 pro

4.1 Functional tests after installation
After finishing the installation of the DRS-M600 parachute rescue systems you
should run some basic tests before taking-off. These tests ensure the installa-
tion was successful and all components operate properly. For these tests it is
necessary to switch on the engines without actually talking off. Therefor we
strongly recommend to remove the propellers to prevent any injuries.
Put the deployment container under tension as described in chapter "Load-
ing and unloading the parachute" until you reached step number 3 - without
loading the parachute into the tube. Instead you should put some dummy load
(like a bottle filled with water) inside.
4.2 Visual status signal
The DRS-M600 system is equipped with a three-color RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
LED (Light emitting diode) to inform the pilot about the internal system status
as described in table 1.

LED status codes
If the status LED will not switch to solid green after taking off, the parachute
will not get deployed in case of emergency and it is highly recommended to
land the UAV and check signals between the RC-Receiver/Flightcontroller and
the DRS system.
4.3 Acoustic status signal
Whenever the parachute will get deployed, the DRS system will inform the en-
vironment about the descending UAV using a loud acoustic signal. You will also
hear a short beep when the take-off was detected.
