Part Descriptions

A

Weatherproof Protective Case

The storage case is constructed from highly durable polypropylene to protect the contents from any moisture, impact, and dust. The built-in purge valve equalizes pressure so you can easily open the case after changing elevations. The latches are strong, secure, and open easily. This product case is also IP65 rated ensuring that it is waterproof and dustproof.

Main LE1000 Panel

The Main LE1000 Panel is the side of the Precision Aerial Dispenser that houses the electrical “brains” of the system. 

The Main LE1000 Panel can attach to either leg of your drone; the Secondary LE1000 Panel simply attaches to the other leg, and a Tether Cable connects them together to enable the Main LE1000 Panel to send signals to the Secondary LE1000 Panel. 

CANISTER CAPACITY

The Main LE1000 Panel can carry either 2 aerosol canisters (large-payload drones only) or 2 smoke canisters at the same time, but never 1 of each canister at the same time.

ELECTRICAL BOX

The electrical box contains a LE1000 microchip and is responsible for receiving signals from the SC1000 Remote Control, detonating any munition canisters on board, and powering the Secondary LE1000 Panel.

PANEL CLAMPS

The Main LE1000 Panel attaches to the leg of the drone via 3 rubber strap clamps. The straps provide a highly reliable, tight grip and ensure a firm hold on the equipment so that it does not fall off the drone no matter the speed, height, or weather conditions.

BATTERY LIFE

The battery life of the Main LE1000 Panel is approximately 4 hours in armed mode and approximately 24 hours in standby mode. 

The five LED lights on the box show the current battery status. Each LED represents 20% of the charge. For example, when all five are lit, the battery is at 100% charge; and when none are lit, the battery is at 0% charge. 

C

Setup Guide

Setup Guide

1

Charge Batteries

Charge the Main LE1000 Panel batteries using either the External Battery Charger or the Internal Battery Charger prior to use.

2

Mount Panels On Drone

Connect the Main LE1000 Panel and Secondary LE1000 Panel to your drone. It does not matter which leg of your drone to which you connect either panel.

Connect the Secondary LE1000 Panel’s tether cable to the Main LE1000 Panel by attaching the S1 connector (does not have a yellow band) to the S1 port, and attaching the S2 connector marked by a yellow band (band not shown in picture) to the S2 port.

To prevent the tether cable from dangling, attach the cable to the top of your drone’s leg with velcro.

Next, attach the Antenna to the Main LE1000 Panel.

3

Attach Canisters

The Main LE1000 Panel can carry either 2 aerosol canisters or 2 smoke canisters at the same time, but never 1 of each canister at the same time. 

The Secondary LE1000 Panel can likewise carry either 2 aerosol canisters or 2 smoke canisters at the same time, but never 1 of each canister at the same time. 

FOR SMOKE CANISTERS

Step 3.1a – Replace Fuses

Smoke canisters come equipped with a fuse (M2A1 Type fuse). For each canister, remove the fuse. 

Then connect a Smoke Canister Actuator.

Next, remove each actuator’s safety shunt. The shunt must be removed prior to use.

NOTE: Smoke Canister Actuators cannot be reused, and they are disposable. If the actuator is not used, the shunt may be reattached to save the actuator for future use.

Step 3.2a – Secure Canisters with Canister Clamps

Attach the desired number of smoke canisters to each panel, and secure the canisters by fastening the Canister Clamp into each panel.

Step 3.3a – Connect Smoke Canister Actuators to Panels

Connect the Smoke Canister Actuators directly to the Main LE1000 Panel in the M1 and M2 ports. The ports correspond to the buttons on the remote.

Connect the Smoke Canister Actuators to the Secondary LE1000 Panel in the S1 and S2 ports. The ports correspond to the buttons on the remote.

FOR AEROSOL CANISTERS

Step 3.1b – Remove Canister Handles

Aerosol canisters come assembled with a handle connected by four screws. Remove the four screws on the aerosol canister handle with a screwdriver.

The handle will split into two parts, revealing the nozzle valve.

Step 3.2b – Assemble the Actuator

Each Aerosol Canister Actuator is encased in a box connected by two screws. Remove the two screws. 

Attach the actuator onto the valve of the canister. 

Next, re-attach the removed side of the actuator. 

NOTE: Aerosol Canister Actuators are reusable.

Step 3.3b – Secure Canisters with Canister Clamps

For maximizing the distribution of contents in aerosol canisters, you can rotate the angle of the canister holder on either panel by pulling the bronze-colored pin and rotating the holder.

Attach the desired number of smoke canisters to each panel. CRITICAL: ENSURE THE CANISTERS ARE MOUNTED IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AS DESIGNED — UPSIDE DOWN OR RIGHT SIDE UP. IF NOT, THE CANISTERS WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE AIR PRESSURE AUPON DETONATION AND BECOME UNUSABLE.

Then secure the canisters by fastening the Canister Clamp into each panel.

Ensure that all canisters have enough clearance from the rotor blades of the drone. On DJI Matrice 300 drones, the canister must be mounted upside down. On DJI Matrice 200 and Matrice 600 drones, the canister should be mounted right side up. 

Step 3.4b – Connect Actuator Cable to Main LE1000 Panel

Connect the Aerosol Canister Actuator(s) directly to the Main LE1000 Panel in the M1 and M2 ports. The ports correspond to the buttons on the remote.

Connect the Smoke Canister Actuator(s) to the Secondary LE1000 Panel in the S1 and S2 ports. The ports correspond to the buttons on the remote.
