Step2 Assembly & Connection Step1 Prepare an aircraft, supported the following Mixed Types. The direction of the arrow in diagram indicates the rotation direction of the motor/propeller. Important：To coaxial propellers: Blue propeller is at TOP; Red propeller is at Bottom. Otherwise all propellers are at top.
Assistant Software Installation and Configuration Step1 Software and Driver Installation Installing and running on Windows 1. Please download the driver and the Assistant installation software in EXE format from www.dji.com. 2. Switch on the transmitter and then power on your autopilot system. 3. Connect your autopilot system and PC via a Micro-USB cable. 4. Open the driver installation software and follow the instructions to complete installation. 5.
4. Locate the NAZA-M V2 icon in the Finder and open the file by Control or right clicking the icon and selecting “Open” from the menu. 5. After the first successful launch, double-clicking the NAZA-M V2 icon in the Finder or using Launchpad will open the application. Installer in DMG format is supported on Mac OS X 10.6 or above. The NAZA-M V2 Assistant on Mac OS X and Windows are exactly the same. The Assistant appear in other places of this manual is based on Windows version.
6. Select the “Upgrade” option. Check the Main Controller, GPS and IMU firmware version. 7. Select the “Basic” option. Please follow step-by-step for your first-time-configuration. Basic configuration is necessary, including Mixer Type, Mounting, RC, and Gain settings. 8. You can click the “Advanced” option for more parameter settings. Advanced setting is optional. There are settings of Motor, FailSafe, Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC), Gimbal, Low-Voltage Alert, and Flight Limits.
Basic Flying Control Mode Knowledge Please read the Control Mode Knowledge clearly before usage, to know how to control the aircraft. Different control modes will give you different flight performances. Please make sure you understand the features and differences of the three control modes. GPS ATTI. Mode ATTI.
2 Stop Motor: We provide two options to stop motors in the assistant software: Immediately and Intelligent. (1) Immediately Mode: If you select this mode, in any control mode, once motors start and throttle stick is over 10%, motors will not stop immediately only when throttle stick is back under 10% the motors will stop. In this case, if you push the throttle stick over 10% within 5 seconds after motors stop, motors will re-start, CSC is not needed.
Step1 Compass Calibration Without GPS module, please skip this step. If you use with GPS module, follow step-by-step for calibration. (1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is magnetic interference, such as magnetite, car park, and steel reinforcement under the ground. (2) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or cell phones. (3) Compass module CANNOT work in the polar circle.
Step2 Assembly Checking List Please check each item, to make sure for safety. Any of the following mistakes will lead to a dangerous accident, double check all these items: (1) Rotation direction of motor is opposite (2) Infirm connection between the motor and the ESC (3) Wrong or infirm installation of Main controller (4) Wrong or infirm connection between the main controller and ESC. (5) Propeller installation mistake (6) Magnetization of the compass Make sure the following items are correct.
4. Keep the aircraft stationary, and then push both sticks to the left bottom or right bottom (shown as the following chart, defined as Combination Stick Commands (CSC)), to start the motors. 5. Release the yaw, roll and pitch sticks and keep them at the mid point, and the throttle stick under the mid point. Then check whether all propellers are rotating correctly. 6. Stop motors, power off the Multi-rotor. 7.
FLYING NOTES(VERY IMPORTANT)！ ！ ！ (1) If the warm up waiting is longer than 2 minutes (the 4 times Yellow blink continues), please power off for 10 minutes, cold start, and then connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" - > IMU calibration, carry out the Advanced calibration. (2) If you enable the Immediately Mode of Motor Stop; you should not pull throttle stick under 10% during flight, because it will stop motors.
Advanced Functions A1 FailSafe An introduction of Go-Home and Landing.
A2 Low-Voltage Alert In order to prevent your multi-rotor from a crash or other harmful consequences caused by low battery voltage, there are two levels of low voltage protection available to use. You can choose to use or not to use them; however we strongly recommend using the protections if available! Low-Voltage Alert is to indicate that the battery cannot provide enough power for the aircraft, in order to warn you to land the aircraft ASAP.
A3 Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) Flight (with GPS module) Definition of Forward Direction: Multi -rotor will fly along this direction when you push the elevator stick ( ). Step1 Before You Start Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi-rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using IOC, wherever the nose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction. The red and blue arrows on the transmitter are corresponding to pitch and roll operations in the following diagram.
Step3 Method of Forward Direction and Home Point Recording If you use the IOC function, please be aware of the Forward Direction of Course Lock Flying, and the home point of Home Lock Flying. There are two ways to record the forward direction and the home point: Manually and Automatically. You may choose any one record method. The LED will blink Green quickly if successfully recorded.
IOC FLYING NOTES！ ！ ！ (1) When Multi-rotor is flying by home lock far away from you and the home point, please DO NOT toggle the IOC switch many times quickly so as to avoid the change of home point without your attention. (1) Home lock flying requires that 6 or more GPS satellites are found and the aircraft is further than 10m away from the home point. (2) If the IOC flying requirement is not satisfied, the autopilot system will quit IOC control mode.
A4 Receiver Advanced Protection Function You are asked to enable this function by connecting to the Assistant Software, please set it at the section of Basic->R/C-> Receiver Advanced Protection. If you choose enable it, the FailSafe will be triggered if the following situations occur during flight. According to the difference of the aircraft height, there are two situations. a) Lower than 100m, the A/E/R channel is not at the mid point.
A5 Flight Limits The flight limits function is default enabled in the NAZA-M Flight control system, it’s aimed to restrict the flying height and distance of the aircraft. The Max Height restricts the vertical distance between the aircraft and the Home point, the Max Radius restricts the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home point. The default Max Height is 2000m and Max Radius is 2000m.

FAQ Abnormal LED Indication List During the Checking Procedure, if abnormal LED Indicator occurs or even the system cannot work normally, please refer to the following list and aids troubleshooting. (1) “System initializing and self-checking LED flashes” are not correct ( Red LED appears in the last four green flashes). The autopilot system works abnormally. Please contact your dealer. (2) LED blinks Yellow 4 times quickly ( ). The system is warming up.
re-do the compass calibration. Carry out the following procedure to re-mount the GPS module. In the following diagram (view from the top), the aircraft can appear to be rotating in both clockwise and counter-clockwise direction, please re-mount the GPS module correspondingly.
Attitude Controllable When One Motor Output is Failed For Hexa-rotor, including Hexa-rotor I, Hexa-rotor V, Hexa-rotor IY and Hexa-rotor Y, aircraft is attitude controllable when one motor output is failed. The NAZA-M can still control the attitude of the Hexa-rotor for a safe landing when one motor output of the Hexa-rotor has failed, for example, one motor is stopped or one propeller is broken, etc. The control mode of NAZA-M should be in Atti. Mode or GPS Atti. Mode.
When used with other DJI products The NAZA-M system communicates with other DJI products (e.g. H3-2D gimbal, BTU module, iOSD mini and iOSD Mark II) via the CAN-Bus port ( ) of the NAZA PMU V2. You can plug new DJI products into any spare CAN-Bus port, since CAN-Bus ports on NAZA-M, CAN HUB, GCU, iOSD mini, iOSD Mark II and 2.4G Bluetooth Datalink are the same for the communications. When there are not enough CAN-Bus ports for additional DJI products, then a DJI CAN HUB module is recommended.
Fig.3 Use a CAN HUB to connect the 2.4G Bluetooth Datalink (1) Users can use the NM Assistant on the mobile device when a BTU module is connecting with the Ground end of the2.4G Bluetooth Datalink (No need to connect another BTU module to the Flight control system). ©2013 DJI Innovations.
