Page 13: Pre-Operation
4. Pre-Operation The ZEB Horizon blocks the downward IR sensors on the M300. The sensor must be disabled in the health management menu as shown below. Some users have reported that health management reports sensor errors with the downward sensors, even after disabling the downward sensors. If the health management is reporting this issue, the IR sensors, highlighted in red have likely not been turned off within the M300 software. -

7. Tips and Best Practices Before flying operations and between every flight: Check the propellers are free to rotate Check all fittings are tightly secured Check that the cable connectors are secured Ensure the centre of gravity check is within the specified limits 7.1. - Page 20 Round Flight Pattern Round flight pattern can be used to fly around the single structures like house or towers. This way, the facades can be capture from the UAV and the loop can be closed vertically. Grid Flight Pattern Grid pattern is suitable for covering large areas, using automated missions. This way, speed and altitude can be better controlled for an increased point density.
