Usage Features:

  • Quick-Release Installation: The S2 Matrix Flash is designed for easy and rapid attachment to compatible aircraft. Users simply snap the A1/A2 points to the B1/B2 bracket until a "click" is heard, ensuring a secure lock.
  • Power and Payload Connection: The device connects to the control template via a T-ypec interface for power and then to the aircraft's SDK interface for payload communication. These connections should be made while the aircraft is shut down.
  • DJI Pilot App Control: The DJI Pilot app is essential for operating the S2 Matrix Flash. Once connected, the app will recognize the payload as JZ_S2. The app allows users to:
    • Display Real-time Data: Turn on a switch to view a list of available modes.
    • Light Switch: Toggle the lights on or off.
    • Brightness Adjustment: Adjust the intensity of the lights.
    • Mode Selection: Choose from various pre-defined modes (e.g., Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3).
    • Custom Burst Frequency: Adjust the flash frequency to suit specific needs.
    • Alternating Flashing Frequency: Control the frequency of alternating flashes.
    • Mode Navigation: Buttons for "Last Mode" and "Next Mode" allow for quick cycling through available flash patterns.
  • Physical Button Control: In addition to app control, the S2 Matrix Flash features a physical button for switching between modes, offering an alternative control method.
  • Supported Aircraft Firmware: Ensure that the Matrice 30 or Matrice 300 series aircraft is updated to the latest firmware for optimal compatibility and performance. The remote controller should also be turned on before the aircraft.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: When cleaning the surface of the lamp, it is crucial to use a soft cleaning cloth to avoid scratches or damage.
  • Storage: After use, the device should be placed in the special safety box for S2 to protect it from scratches or collisions with hard objects.
  • Firmware Upgrade: The S2 Matrix Flash supports online upgrades via DJI Assistant 2 when connected to a Matrice 30 aircraft. Users can download the DJI Assistant 2 app, connect the M30 to a computer, select the desired firmware, and wait for the upgrade to complete.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • If DJI Pilot occasionally displays issues, restarting the software is recommended.
    • If the gimbal exhibits high-frequency noise and vibration while becoming very hot, discontinue use and contact after-sales support for repair.
  • Installation Precaution: During installation, ensure the snap is placed in the correct direction before connecting to prevent damage.
