HOME SWITCH
The home switch has three settings, Set Home, RTH Off and RTH On.
SET HOME
Set Home sets a new home point at ALTA 8’s current position. This could be useful
for setting a point away from the initialization point, such as if the ALTA 8 was
started underneath an overhang or a tree.
A new home point can only be set within 20 meters of ALTA 8’s starting point.
Momentarily moving the Home Switch to the Set Home position sets a new home
point. When a new home point is set, the Status Light will turn white to indicate the
new home point was successfully set.
RTH OFF
This is the normal switch position and does not initiate an RTH command.
RTH ON
This manually initiates the RTH function. In a manual RTH, the pilot maintains
control of height while the SYNAPSE will command ALTA 8’s position over the ground
to the home point.
