2). Support takeoff weight: 10-15kg (drone power efficiency varies, this data is for reference only).
3). Supporting flight duration: ≥ 24h (the system can support working duration, which depends on the structure and electrical fatigue resistance of the drone)
III,Function characteristics
1). Protection function: Separate design for strong and weak electricity. Input over-voltage, input under-voltage. Output over voltage ,output over current, output circuit, output over temperature protection, input and output voltage resistance≥3000VDC, tethered cable insulation voltage esistance≥3500VDC.
2). Data communication: Wired and wireless communication function. Support remote display and control, client-side data viewing and downloading.Optional fiber optic communication.
3). Data display function: The touch screen displays data such as output voltage, output current,output power, cable outlet length, working duration, installation temperature, total power consumption, fault record, and working status information.
4). Set and adjustment: The display screen supports setting and adjustment the parameters such as reel in/out tension and speed, date and time, output voltage, safety lengths, warning temperature, etc., and support Chinese and English.
5). Alerts and reminds: When the system malfunctions, the display screen scrolls to display fault information, and the buzzer strong sound reminder.
6). Automatic take-up and payoff: Following take off and landing of the drone to synchronously tethered cable automated winch reel in/out, adjusting the tension auto management, and backup battery to activate cable reel in function in case of power cut off.
7). Carry and transport: The ground module is equipped with a handle and foot pads. folding trailer and trolley wheels is optional for transportation.
8). Power supply 5800W/7000Wh outdoor mobile power bank or 4300W/6L gasoline inverter generator is recommended.

2.After receiving our tether power system, check whether the outer packaging is intact and damaged.Open the packaging and check if the system are intact. If there is any damage, please communicate with our sales as soon as possible to obtain a timely solution, repair or compensation from shipping company since we always buy insurance for our goods.
3.Read the user manual carefully and the cautions please.
4. Connect ground module and air module.Connect AC input power supply to the tether system, turn on high voltage , and use amultimeter to check if the power and voltage output of the air module are normal. Make sure there are no issues, then you can connect the drone.
5.Tum off tether system. After connecting cable power system with the drone , tum on high voltage and observe whether the voltage on drone's remote control and connection of the drone are normal.
6.For safety reasons, it is recommended to test the endurance of the drone first.Connect tether system and drone, place drone on a testing platform to verify its endurance by testing different throttle settings. When it is confirmed that the endurance of the drone is not a problem, the drone can be taken off for flight testing.
