Maintenance and repair of the eBee
5. Disconnect the USB cable and the battery.
It is important that both the drone and eMotion have the same software version
for them to work properly together. Make sure that you keep both up-to-date.
To check which version of eMotion you have installed, use the ‘About eMotion...’
item in the ‘Window’ menu. The eBee firmware version can be seen in the Flight
Parameters tab once connected (see section ‘Flight Parameters tab’ on page 116).
7.2 Cleaning and storage
Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt from the eBee. In order to avoid structural defor-
mation of the wing, it is recommended to store the drone either in its transport
case or on a flat surface at room temperature.
Caution: Never bring the eBee into direct contact with water, as this
may damage the electronics within the drone airframe.
7.3 Full airframe and sensor inspection
Beyond the general airframe inspection that is performed before every flight, we
recommend that you perform a full airframe and sensor inspection regularly to
keep your drone in good operating condition.
Caution: The autopilot, sensors and actuators within the Central
Body of the eBee are specially calibrated and should only be modi-
fied by your eBee reseller. Opening the Central Body of the eBee will
void the warranty.
The inspection includes the following checks:
Check 1: Motor and Servos
The eBee uses a brushless DC motor to turn its propeller and generate thrust. The
servos are the two actuators connected through a servo connection mechanism
