Safety Instructions

Eye Protection

As with any system designed to launch a mass at high velocity, precautions shall be taken to prevent potential injury.

Never point the Parachute Pod™ towards anyone or anything

While the PRS-M3DT includes features to prevent unintentional deployments, users shall be aware that the Parachute Pod™ is launched vertically. It is recommended that the operator maintains a clear area of at least five (5) meters (16 feet) after the system has been powered.

Disarming MTD

Always hide the PSDK menu for the MTD before approaching the DJI M3D/T after a landing or in the event of an aborted takeoff.

Ensure PRS-M3DT is DISARMED before moving it

Do not pick up the PRS-M3DT when it is armed as the sensors may interpret the movements as an in-flight failure. Wait ten (10) seconds for the ATS to disarm.

Error Status

The system should not be used unless it is indicated that no errors are present. The system will not arm itself nor deploy in a failure scenario unless it has initialized successfully.

Parachute Repacking

Only parachutes packed by AVSS are compliant. The Parachute shall be repacked or replaced every twelve (12) months only by AVSS. You will no longer be compliant and will void the warranty if you attempt to repack the Parachute.

Normal Mode and Flight Mode Changes

The ATS is designed to automatically detect abnormal flight behaviors. Flying in a controlled manner and avoiding erratic maneuvers ensures that the PRS-M3DT can more accurately distinguish between pilot commands and loss of control. Do not change the flight mode mid-flight as the DJI M3D/T can have a hard/abrupt braking maneuver that can exceed the maximum "25°-degree pitch angle”, as per DJI.

Rules and Regulations

Pilots shall follow the rules and regulations put in place by civil aviation or government bodies in their operating regions.

Energetic Charge Warning

The PRS-M3DT utilizes an automotive pyrotechnic as the means of deployment. These charges are similar to that in automobile airbag and seat belt systems. Caution should always be observed around the system. Ensure the System is never pointing towards someone. Note, throughout this document, the pyrotechnic charge is referenced as an "Energetic Charge".
