Vehicle Setup – Safety

The safety menu is where all the general safety settings are located. Please carefully consider the implications of each value before changing it. If you have questions, please contact Vision Aerial prior to changing any settings.

Warning sign Warning: Changing the safety settings could cause your drone to crash and may void your warranty. Use extreme caution when changing the safety settings.

Battery Failsafe Triggers

The most basic and important failsafes are triggered by battery levels. The settings on this menu will determine how the vehicle responds to low battery and critically low battery thresholds.

By default, Low battery triggers RTL (Return to Launch). When a vehicle goes into RTL, it will notify the user, climb in altitude, return to the launch location, and then gently descend to the ground.

When the battery becomes critically low, the aircraft will land in its current position.

By default, the low percentage threshold set to trigger RTL is 30%. Critically low battery is set to 10%.

Warning sign Warning: Changing these settings is NOT recommended. The manufacturer’s warranty is voided if these settings are changed.

General Failsafe Triggers

The general failsafes include actions to take when there is a problem with the ground control station. The Ground Station failsafe is for a problem with the telemetry. By default, it is set to Always RTL.

If the connection between the ground control station and the drone is compromised, this triggers a lost link failsafe. By default, the failsafe for Loss of Link with the controller is set to Always RTL.

GeoFence

For general safety purposes, a geofence sets the maximum distance a Vision Aerial drone can travel from the ground control station as well as altitude.

Return to Launch

The Return to Launch settings specify how the drone will respond when RTL is triggered.

Warning sign Warning: Changing these settings may void your manufacturer warranty.
