2. Información de seguridad

Operating drones requires adherence to safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage. Please read and understand the following before assembly and operation:

• Lea el manual: Familiarize yourself with all components and assembly steps.
• Seguridad de la hélice: Propellers can cause severe injury. Always disconnect the battery before handling the drone or performing maintenance. Keep hands clear of rotating propellers.
• Manejo de la batería: Use appropriate batteries for your drone. Ensure correct polarity when connecting. Do not overcharge or puncture batteries.
• Advertencia ambiental: Operate in open areas, away from people, animals, buildings, and power lines. Avoid flying in strong winds or adverse weather conditions.
• Cumplimiento legal: Be aware of and comply with all local regulations regarding drone operation, including registration requirements and no-fly zones.
• Comprobaciones previas al vuelo: Always perform a thorough pre-flight inspection to ensure all components are securely attached and functioning correctly.

3. Contenido del paquete

The X500 V2 ARF Kit includes the following components:

• X500 V2 Frame Kit (carbon fiber top and bottom plates, arms, landing gear)
• 4 x 2216 KV920 Brushless Motors
• 4 x S 20A Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs)
• 6 x 1045 Propellers (typically 2 sets of 3, or 3 sets of 2 for spares)

4. Configuración y montaje

The X500 V2 ARF Kit requires assembly of the frame, motors, ESCs, and propellers. Follow these general steps:

4.1 Montaje del marco

1. Adjuntar brazos: Secure the ultra-light 16mm carbon fiber arms to the main frame plates using the provided fiber nylon connectors and hardware. Ensure all connections are tight.
2. Instalar el tren de aterrizaje: Assemble the 16mm/10mm diameter carbon fiber landing gear tubes with the three-way connectors and attach them to the main frame.
3. Mount Top and Bottom Plates: Secure the 144x144mm top and bottom plates, ensuring the 28mm spacing is maintained.

4.2 Motor and ESC Installation

1. Motores de montaje: Attach the 2216 KV920 brushless motors to the motor mounting holes (16x16mm) at the end of each arm. Ensure they are securely fastened.
2. Connect ESCs: Connect the S 20A ESCs to the motors. The ESCs should be mounted on the arms or within the frame structure, ensuring good airflow for cooling.
3. Power Distribution Board (PDB): Mount the PDB centrally. Connect the ESC power leads to the XT30 peripheral connectors on the PDB. The main battery connector (XT60) will connect to your flight battery.

4.3 Fijación de la hélice

Attach the 1045 propellers to the motors. Ensure correct rotation direction for each motor. Typically, two propellers rotate clockwise (CW) and two counter-clockwise (CCW). Consult your flight controller's documentation for specific motor/propeller direction configuration.

Warning: Always ensure propellers are correctly balanced and securely fastened. Loose or unbalanced propellers can cause severe vibration and flight instability.

4.4 Flight Controller and Receiver (Not Included)

This ARF kit does not include a flight controller or radio receiver. You will need to integrate your preferred flight controller (e.g., compatible with Pi 4, Jetson Nano) and receiver into the frame. Use the platform plate with mounting holes for companion computers and the dual 10mm diameter rod rail system for additional equipment.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Once assembled and integrated with a flight controller and radio system, follow these general operating principles:

• Comprobación previa al vuelo: Before each flight, inspect all components for damage, loose connections, or obstructions. Ensure propellers are secure and correctly oriented. Verify battery charge levels.
• Armando el dron: Follow your flight controller's specific arming procedure. This typically involves a stick command on your remote controller.
• Despegar: Gently increase throttle. The drone should lift off smoothly. If it drifts or is unstable, land immediately and re-check calibration and balance.
• Control de vuelo: Use your remote controller to maneuver the drone. Practice in a safe, open area until you are comfortable with its response.
• Aterrizaje: Reduce throttle slowly and gently bring the drone down. Disarm the motors immediately after landing.
• Después del vuelo: Disconnect the battery. Inspect the drone for any signs of stress or damage.

Note: This manual covers the hardware kit. Refer to your flight controller and radio system manuals for detailed setup, calibration, and flight procedures.

6. Mantenimiento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your X500 V2 ARF Kit:

• Inspección del marco: Regularly check carbon fiber arms and plates for cracks, delamination, or stress marks. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Comprobación del hardware: Ensure all screws, nuts, and connectors are tight. Vibrations during flight can loosen hardware.
• Inspección del motor: Check motors for smooth rotation, excessive play in bearings, or signs of overheating. Keep them free of dirt and debris.
• ESC Inspection: Ensure ESCs are securely mounted and have adequate cooling. Check for any burnt components or damaged wiring.
• Mantenimiento de la hélice: Inspect propellers for nicks, bends, or cracks. Replace damaged propellers as they can cause severe vibrations and reduce flight efficiency. Ensure they are balanced.
• Alambrado: Check all wiring for fraying, cuts, or loose connections. Secure any loose wires to prevent interference with propellers or other components.
