Laser Falcon Plus Methane Detector

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 mounting cover to the back of the sensor.
Mount the sensor on the Universal Heavy Payload mount.
Connect the power cable to SkyHub power output port #7.
Connect the Ethernet data transfer cable to SkyHub Ethernet port #10.

Power on the system.

Establish either the drone link or auxiliary connection with the SkyHub in the UgCS-CPM software.
On the main screen of the UgCS-CPM, click on the “Payloads” button.
From the available payload list, enable the “Laser Falcon Plus methane detector”.
Press the “Save” button and confirm system reload.

Wait until the reload process is finished and the connection to the SkyHub is reestablished.

On the main screen of the UgCS-CPM, click the “Start” button.
From the drop-down widget list, select the “Laser Falcon Plus methane detector” and press the blue “plus” button.
To access the configuration menu, press on the “three-dot” icon on the upper right corner of the widget and select “Settings”.

Laser Falcon Plus Methane Detector Configuration Parameters

Parameter	Default	Min	Max	Precision	Unit	Options	Description
Payload Id	213	192	220	1			Payload Id

Minimal starting amplitude	3	0	1000	1	m		Minimal starting amplitude
Amplitude threshold	0	0	1000	1	m		Amplitude threshold
Calculation rate	NORMAL					FAST, NORMAL, SLOW	Calculation rate.
Concentration threshold	0	0	200000	1	m		Concentration threshold
Correlation threshold	0	0	200000	1	m		Correlation threshold
Data log dir	/data/skyhub_logs						Path on SkyHub storage where data is saved
Ethernet interface							Ethernet interface to use
Filtered concentration limit	100000	0	200000	1	m		Filtered concentration limit
IP address	10.2.0.255						IP address of the device in the Ethernet network
IP address discovery mode	1					0, 1	IP address discovery mode
Leak limit	0	0	200000	1	m		Leak limit
SNR threshold	0	0	1000	1	m		SNR threshold
Temperature mode	NORMAL					COLD, NORMAL, HOT	Temperature mode
Action to run	NONE					NONE, REINITIALIZE, FIX_BASE	Action to run when logging started
Green laser	1					0, 1, 2, 3, 4	Vendor-defined value for green laser pointer mode. Current meaning 0 - Off 1 - On 2 - 0.5Hz 3 - 1Hz 4 - 2Hz Keep in mind that leaving the value 0 (off) is very dangerous since the main laser is invisible IR and there will be no indication that it is activated.
