Caution

The Sensor may be connected/disconnected only when the system is powered off.

Attach the Universal Heavy Payload mount to the bottom of your drone.
Attach the gas detector to the Universal Heavy Payload mount.
Connect the data cable to the SkyHub Connector #4 (white).
Connect the sampling cable to the gas detector through the port with the label “IN”.
Attach the sampling arm through the holding clips on the side of the detector.
Attach the sampling cable alongside the arm with the provided zip ties.

Power on the system.

Establish either the drone link or auxiliary connection with the SkyHub in the UgCS-CPM software.
