Battery handling
The batteries should only be carried by using both handles.
WARNING: The connector should be treated as if it is always live – do not touch the
connector.
The batteries should be left inside the fuselage or transported in suitable safe transport
containers.
WARNING: HV batteries are sensitive to ground handling. Exposure to high G-loadings or
mishandling must be avoided, as this may lead to battery failures or fires and the
void of warranty.
Installing the HV batteries
1. Select the 12 V battery to power the RES system.
2. Enter maintenance mode by pushing and holding the command button on the DCU while
switching the RES master switch to ON.
3. Whilst in maintenance mode the motor can be extracted by pushing the EXT/RETR
switch upwards.
CAUTION: When the HV system is not activated the propeller alignment function is inactive.
Take care that the propeller is aligned when extending the pylon to avoid damage
to the propeller or doors.
4. Switch the RES master switch OFF.
5. Insert the batteries in the battery compartment and slide forward into the secured
position.
6. Secure batteries with latch and fastening of the thumb screw.
7. Insert or ensure that a terminal connector is inserted in the charge connector, as
illustrated in Figure 10-3.
8. Switch the RES master switch ON.
9. Test operation.
10. Retract pylon by pushing the EXT/RET switch downwards
