Best Practices
1. Unless you're using an external 5V input power feed make sure you charge the SATS daily before flight.
Charging can be done via USB cable to your computer. Charging takes about 90 minutes. The Yellow
charge light will extinguish once charged.
2. Before flight make sure the SATS-MINI is sufficiently charged. The SATS-MINI LiPo is sufficient to
operate the unit for up to 6 hours of operation (when not using the Nano receiver). When there is
under one hour of battery life left the device will chirp twice per second. Do not fly if the SATS-MINI is
chirping since the battery life may be short.
3. Check the parachute launcher and connection to the SATS-MINI before flight.
4. Before takeoff make sure the SATS-MINI is armed (or in safety if used).
5. After flight disarm the SATS-MINI and turn to save battery and log space.
What To Do After Parachute Deployment
If the SATS-MINI triggers a parachute deployment be sure to disarm the SATS-MINI and download the log file.
The log events will show what condition caused the parachute to eject. If you like please send the log to Fruity
Chutes and we can do a post-deployment analysis to verify operation. Also helpful would be to indicate the
drone type, weight, parachute system and so on. Also flight conditions.
