Safety Instructions

Caution

Before you start the installation, read these safety instructions carefully!

Follow the instructions in this guide in the exact order in which they are presented, in order

to ensure your own safety as well as the safety of others.

Installation video: A step by step video can be found here: https://youtu.be/vZ8oBewBxfc

Make sure to follow the instructions relevant to your model.

The ParaZero SafeAir M-600 is a safety system designed to deploy almost instantaneously, by

using a special pyrotechnic mechanism, which must be handled with caution.

Figure 1 – SafeAir M-600 System

The system incorporates two safety elements –

A Safety Pin Error! Reference source not found.

The safety pin electrically prevents the activation of the system. The system is packed with

the safety pin connected to the system. Do not remove the safety pin until specifically

instructed to do so in this guide.

A Safety Cover

The safety cover physically prevents the deployment of the parachute, in case of an

unintended deployment. It is designed for safety during transportation, storage and for

applying at the end of each flight day. It is also highly recommended to put the cover

back on after each flight for added safety. The cover is also designed for protection

against external damage. The system is provided with the cover stretched over the

parachute canister.

Do not remove the safety cover until you complete the installation, and you are ready to

fly.

Operating Guidelines SafeAir M-600 V2 AUTO-ARM model

6.1 Preflight Initial Conditions: The safety cover is on and the safety pin is in.

Finalize all the preflight procedures to your drone and payload. The following tasks are in

addition to the regular preflight tasks –

Check dampers not damaged

Turn off the power to the drone

Take off the safety cover

Carefully remove the safety pin

Turn on the power to the drone

Go back to a safety distance of at least 5 meters

6.2 Takeoff When climbing, you must climb to approximately eight meters before the system is

armed. Climb until you hear a single long beep, and the LED is GREEN.

The system is now armed and ready for activation in case of an emergency.

6.3 Before Landing When approaching landing, at approximately three to five meters from the takeoff altitude,

the parachute system automatically disarms. At that point, a long double-beep is heard and

the LED is PURPLE..

If the landing point is at a different altitude than the takeoff altitude, or the system did not

disarm for some reason in the air, which may occur when there is a sudden change in

atmospheric pressure, land the drone slowly while keeping it level. After three seconds, the

system disarms itself.

6.4 After Landing First place the safety pin inside the canister.

After the pin is secure, place the safety cover over the parachute system.

Caution

It is advisable to insert the safety pin back, before turning the drone’s

power off. This will prevent unintentional parachute deployment

Takeoff

1 After take-off, you must climb to approximately eight meters before the system is

armed. Climb until you hear a single long beep, and the LED is GREEN.

2 The system is now armed and ready for activation in case of an emergency.

Optional – manual arming:

Take off to an altitude of at least 3 meters above ground level. Arm the system by

using the DJI extension’s arm switch: switch it up, wait 4 seconds and then switch it

down to its safe position again. Verify that the LED on the SmartAir turns GREEN,

followed by a long beep.

The parachute is now armed and ready to operate

for the first time

Caution

During parachute deployment, the following steps need to be performed in order

to lower the M-600 landing gear.

Using the DJI remote: Pull both sticks towards the center OR use the landing

gear switch to lower the legs.

Both options are fully functional after the flight termination system cuts

the motor power

Before Landing

When approaching landing, at approximately three to five meters from the take-off

altitude, the parachute system automatically disarms. At that point, a long double-

beep is heard and the LED is PURPLE.

If the landing point is at a different altitude than the take-off altitude, or the system

did not disarm for some reason in the air, which may occur when there is a sudden

change in atmospheric pressure, land the drone slowly while keeping it level. After

three seconds, the system disarms itself.

Caution

Failure to disarm the system before landing

will initiate parachute deployment, once power is cutoff

If the system isn’t disarmed, follow manual disarm:

Disarm the system by flipping the Arm\Disarm switch upwards. Verify that the LED

turns PURPLE, and that you hear a double-beep. Now the system is disarmed. Wait 3

seconds, then turn the switch down again. The LED will change to BLUE.

After Landing

1 First put the safety pin inside the canister.

2 After the pin is secure, place the safety cover over the parachute system.

Caution

It is advisable to insert the safety pin back, before turning the drone’s

power off. This will prevent unintentional parachute deployment
