Quantum Systems VECTOR - Operation

2.1 Operation
1. Always follow the manual when using the system.
2. It is the user’s responsibility to follow the laws that regulate the operation
of UAS in the desired ying area. Flying out of the operator's sight might
be prohibited depending on the local laws, please inform yourself.
3. Please always keep a safe distance from spinning rotors of at least
10 m (33 ft) to avoid risk of injury and damage of property.
4. Please keep a safe distance between the UAV and humans at any time
to avoid any personal injury in the event of a crash.
5. In case of an emergency the user must be able to manually y the UAV.
6. Do not y or take off close to objects generating magnetic/electroma-
gnetic elds (power lines, generators, antennas, transformers, etc.) as it
may cause malfunction of the GPS and/or the magnetic eld sensors.
7. Do not y or take off close to objects containing large amounts of metal
or carbon ber (parking decks, buildings of reinforced concrete, ships,
cars or other machines) as it may cause malfunction of the GPS and/or
the magnetic eld sensors.
8. Always ensure proper GPS coverage of the UAV. Do not y in narrow
canyons as it may cause malfunction of the GPS and/or the magnetic
eld sensors.
9. Make sure no large obstacles (buildings, trees, mountains, etc.) or ob-
jects generating or blocking electro-magnetic radiation (antennas, fen-
ces, power lines, etc.) are between the transmitter / GCS and the UAV
during the whole time of operation.
10. The aircraft must not be operated
• at temperatures below -12 °C (10.4 °F) and above 50 °C (122 °F).
• in rain or snowfall.
• at windspeeds above 9 m/s (17.5 kn) (See chapter 3.1.). Please note
that the wind speed on the ground is always less than the wind
speed at ight altitude.
11. Transportation of the system is recommended in the original Quantum-
Systems transportation box.
12. The use of third party products, such as batteries, chargers, ground mo-
dems, ground control stations, which were not provided by Quantum-
Systems, is prohibited. Any modication to the system is prohibited un-
less expressly authorized by Quantum-Systems or an authorized reseller.
13. Due to the risk of an electric shock, do not disassemble any Quantum-
Systems products. For repair and maintenance work always contact your
sales agent.
14. Each operator is responsible for ensuring the airworthiness of the UAV.
15. The UAV does not detect and avoid obstacles. Every operator is respon-
sible to plan a ight path that is free of obstacles.
16. Do not y with detached payload.
17. The equipment is for professional use only. It must not be operated by
children.
18. Use only those batteries specied by Quantum-Systems
19. The UAV and its ground-equipment must be stored inside its transport
box when not in use. The safety of the vehicle is not affected by UV radia-
tion within the usual exposure time when handled accordingly.
