DJI S1000+, S1000, S900 systems and DJI A2 ight control system.
CO2 canisters are required and not included with the DJI Dropsafe. Only use ISI 16g CO2canisters or other
16g CO2 canisters with specications as shown in the gure. Improper use of the 16g CO2 canisters, or using
other CO2 canisters, may cause system error or damage.

System Introduction
System Introduction
System base serves as the major component for the DJI Dropsafe system. Features such as self-check,
stopping motors, triggering CO2 canister are implemented by the system base and ight controller. Triggering
safety pin is in place to prevent users from accidently triggering the system. Parachute can be deployed in
less than 0.5 second.

Installing System Base
Installing DJI Dropsafe System
Detach System Base
System base is attached to parachute housing by default. To set up the system
base, you need to detach the system base from the parachute housing. Follow
the steps below to detach the system base from the parachute housing:
1. Remove the cover, then take off the winglets and side strips.
2. Remove the screw and take off parachute housing.
3. Unscrew the manifold.
The DJI Dropsafe system can be deployed by A2 ight control system automatically. Upgrade the
A2 controller unit rmware to 2.4 version or above and enable the parachute function in A2 Assistant
to use the DJI Dropsafe system with A2 ight control system.

System Base Connection
Remote Controller and Flight Controller Connection
The DJI Dropsafe system base must be connected to your flight controller and RC receiver to function
properly. Refer to the diagram below to complete the connections:
For A2 ight control system, connect the ECO and WK ports on the system base to the X3 and F4 ports on
your ight controller. Then, connect the RC2 port on the system base to the port on the RC receiver that will
be used as an “activation switch” to activate and deploy the DJI Dropsafe. Lastly, connect the RC1 port on the
system base to the port on the RC receiver that will be used as a “safety switch”.
CongureRemoteControllerSwitches
Two remote controller switches must be congured for proper use of the DJI Dropsafe: one is a “safety switch”,
and the other is an “activation switch” used to activate and deploy the system. Follow the instructions below. For the
details on how to congure the channel assignment of the switches, refer to your remote controller’s user manual.
1. Recommend to select a trainer switch to act as the “safety switch”.
2. Select a 2-position switch to act as the “activation switch”.
Attachment Pad
Stick one of the attachment pads onto the bottom of the DJI Dropsafe system base, and the other pad to the
center of your aircraft’s upper plate. Then secure the system base to your aircraft by pressing the attachment
pad on the system base against the attachment pad on the aircraft.
Caution: The system base must be placed in the center of the aircraft’s upper plate to achieve
optimal performance.

Installing System Base
Setting Up the System Base for Deployment
Ensure the "activation switch" and "safety switch" on your remote controller are turned off. Ensure the
spring and triggering pin are within the triggering housing unit. Follow the instructions below to set up the
system base:
1. Place the trigger compression tool into the triggering housing unit. Use the supplied hex
screwdriver to rotate the trigger compression tool clockwise for ve times and then power on the on-
board battery. The LED indicators on system base will blink red and green for three times to indicate
the system is functional.
3. Rotate the screwdriver to tighten the trigger compression tool until the system LED blinks solid
green. Meanwhile, the other system LED will blink red for 9 seconds and then goes off.
Green system LED blinks solid.
Red system LED blinks for 9 secs.

2. Press the initialization button to initialize the system. The system LED will blink solid red when the
initialization is completed. If the system LED blinks red, it indicates the signal from remote controller
or ight controller is abnormal. Ensure both the "activation switch" and "safety switch" on the remote
controller are in the OFF position and that the parachute function of your ight controller is enabled.

6. Screw the manifold into the system base (as shown in the gure A below).
7. Ensure the manifold is aligned with the marker on the system base (as shown in the gure B below).
Installing System Base
5. Now the triggering pin is in the ready position. Rotate the hex screwdriver counter-clockwise to remove the
trigger compression tool from the triggering housing unit.
4. It is recommended to test the system before each deployment. Follow the steps below to complete the
test:
(1) Ensure triggering pin is locked in place and system is connected with ight controller. Unscrew the
trigger compression tool for one round (do not unscrew for more than one round, otherwise triggering
pin might be damaged when it is released). Make sure that system LED blinks solid green.
(2) Toggle and hold the "safety switch" on the remote controller to the ON position. Then toggle the
"activation switch" to activate and deploy the system. If the system is deployed successfully, the system
LED blinks solid green and red, otherwise it indicates there is connection error, examine the connection
to re-run the test until the issue is solved.
(3) Power off the ight controller to complete the test. Repeat step 1 to step 3 described in "Setting Up the
System Base for Deployment" to reset the system base.

Folding the Parachute
Folding the parachute properly is crucial for effective deployment. Carefully follow the instructions below to
fold the parachute.
Watch the video tutorial on how to fold the parachute at www.dji.com/product/
dropsafe/video before you fold the parachute for the rst time. Failure to follow the
folding instructions exactly may result in unsuccessful parachute deployment.
Installing System Base
Short String
Connection String
1. Remove the parachute from the package. Open the parachute above the system base, and allow the tip of
the CO2 canister to run through the opening of the parachute. Ensure each short string is aligned with each
of the three arms of the manifold.
2. Start folding the parachute and put the packing tool in place. The packing tool should cover each of the
three arms of the manifold.
3. Watch the video tutorial on www.dji.com/product/dropsafe/video and carefully follow the instructions in the
video to fold the parachute.
4. Attach the short strings to the winglets by tightening the loop around the groove.
5. Remove the packing tool from the manifold. Then attach each winglet to one of the manifold arms.
Remove the packing tool from the manifold before you attach the winglets. Failure to do so may
result in unsuccessful parachute deployment.
Connecting DJI Dropsafe to Your Multirotor
1. Attach the connection strings as shown in the video tutorial on www.dji.com/product/dropsafe/video.
