Page 26: Additional Payload Operation
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide ADDITIONAL PAYLOAD OPERATION Cleaning As with most optical surfaces, minimal cleaning is the best practice. Any contamination, dust, or debris on the scanner optical surfaces can cause the laser light to diffuse or weaken. This will result in poor data collection. -
Page 27: Scanner And Camera Lens/Sensor Care
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide Scanner and Camera Lens/Sensor Care When the payload is not being used, it is recommended to install the scanner and camera lens covers. Do not leave the scanner or camera pointing directly towards the sun. This can cause damage to the sensors. -
Page 28: Firmware Update
Once completed power off the drone battery. Verification of the update: Remove the UMS storage device from the TrueView 535 payload and insert it into the computer. Navigate to the UMS storage device drive and verify the file extensions was changed to .installed on every .mdpkg and .json file. -
Page 29: Trueview 535 Payload Field Operations
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide TRUEVIEW 535 PAYLOAD FIELD OPERATIONS 515vB Field Operations Base Station The TrueView 3DIS records GNSS signals during flight which will be corrected later in EVO. This type of system is known as a PPK system. Base station processing methods should be considered during the planning process because the user will need to determine how they plan to correct their flight data before collecting. -
Page 30: Pre-Flight
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide Pre-Flight DISABLE OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE IMPORTANT M300 Only The integration of the TrueView 3DIS system will cause disruption to the M300’s built-in obstacle avoidance detection systems. If these systems are not disabled, they can cause erratic and potentially dangerous behavior including loss of control of the drone. -
Page 31: Center Of Gravity (Gc) Calibration
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide CENTER OF GRAVITY (GC) CALIBRATION IMPORTANT M300 Only When heavy payloads are carried on the M300 platform a center of gravity (GC) calibration must be performed if there is any change to the payload. This would include if you switched from a TrueView 410 to a TrueView 515 or DJI P1 or even switched to flying without a payload. -
Page 32: Heading Alignment Maneuver
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide HEADING ALIGNMENT MANEUVER The heading alignment maneuver needs to be done after takeoff, before flying the mission, and after the mission prior to landing for each flight. This maneuver is critical for getting accurate heading corrections for the IMU and will impact the results of the data if not performed. -
Page 33: After Landing
TrueView 535 Hardware User Guide On windy days, avoid starting the maneuver into a headwind, as the drone may not be able to achieve accelerations that are high enough. Try doing the maneuver crosswind if possible. NOTE Figure 19. Heading alignment maneuver. -
Page 34: Trueview Mission Checklist
If SYS LED turns to blinking or solid red, it is safe to turn off and move to troubleshoot section or contact GeoCue for further instructions. Remove UMS drive and pass to post-processing. -
