7.7 US-1 Battery Management
US-1's battery percentage can be viewed during flight in the top
right-hand corner of IAGS. Proper battery management is essential
to the safe operation of a UAS. Though Battery consumption varies
depending on wind, flight profile, and payload. The battery voltage
of a flying US-1 with a FLIR will decrease roughly 1 volt per 10
minutes of operation.
Operators should know the following voltages and their mean-
ings:
Voltage State
25.2 V
100%
19.6 V
20% - Low Battery Warning
19.3 V
15% - Low Battery Default RTL.
18.7 V
5% - Critical Battery Default RTL.
18 V
0% - Minimum Operational voltage. Vehicle will shut down.
7.8 Stowing US-1
To power off and stow US-1:
1. Verify the vehicle is disarmed and the propellers are not spin-
ning.
2. Press and hold the power button. The light will turn red and,
once the button is released, turn off.
3. Fold the propellers and replace the rubber bands.
4. Remove the camera by twisting the locking collar counterclock-
wise. Replace the lens cap and place the camera in the hard-
shell case.
5. Place the vehicle on its side and remove the landing gear feet,
placing them in the hardshell case.
