Lightning Protection

The DJITM AEROSCOPETM stationary unit system includes surge protection modules in the antenna module, power module, and Ethernet port. Aeroscope does not include a lightning induction system, and should be installed within the protected region of another lightning induction system. The protected region is calculated using the rolling sphere method.

The rolling sphere method assumes that an imaginary sphere of radius hr exists above the surface of a substation. The sphere rolls up and over (and is supported by) lightning masts, shield wires, substation fences, and other grounded metallic objects that can provide lightning shielding. A piece of equipment is said to be protected from a direct stroke if it remains fully within the surface of the sphere.

For a simple scenario in which there is only one lightning rod standing on a at surface, the

maximum distance that the Aeroscope can be placed from the lightning rod and remain within the protected region is calculated by the following equation:

Rx=√(h(2hr-h))-√(hx (2hr-hx))

Where:

rx is the maximum distance the Aerescope can be placed from the lightning rod. hx is the height of the protected object. h is the height of the lightning rod. hr is the rolling sphere radius. It depends on the lightning density and the protected matter

and is given in the following table in the Chinese standard.

Protection Level Rolling Sphere Radius (m)

Type 1 30

Type 2 45

Type 3 60

If Aeroscope is not under the protection of the nearest lightning rod, a designated lightning

induction system should be designed by a qualied professional.

Finally, be sure to note the following:

Ensure that rainwater cannot ow along the Antenna cable into the Aeroscope receiver.

If the pole is made of metal, the frame and the pole should be separated using insulation. Indoor power outlets must have surge protection. Indoor Ethernet outlets must have surge protection.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

For permanent setups, the Aeroscope unit can be mounted anywhere that meets all installation requirements, such as Lightning Protection, height restrictions, power connection, and network connection. The most common installation scenario is to attach it to a pole on the rooftop.

The standard procedure for pole-mounted scenarios is as follows:

Page 4

Aeroscope Stationary Unit Installation

1. The pole should be rmly xed to the ground (or other solid surface such as a rooftop).

The diameter of the pole plus the insulation layer should be 120 mm to utilize the frames supplied with the stationary unit and antennas. Figure 1 shows some real examples of Aeroscope stationary unit installation sites.

Figure 1 Installation examples

2. Attach the stationary unit and the antennas to the pole. The processes for installing the stationary unit, G8 antennas, and G16 antennas are illustrated in Figures 2, 3, and 4 respectively.

3. Connect the antennas to the unit via the antenna cable. a. If using G8 directional antennas, connect each antenna to one antenna port of the

stationary unit with an antenna cable. Note that two adjacent antennas should be connected to ports at the top of the stationary unit, while the other two adjacent antennas should be connected to ports at the bottom. This ensures diversity gains will

be realized. Figure 5 shows the connection conguration between the G8 antennas and

the stationary unit.

between G8 antennas and the stationary unit

b. If using G16 high-gain antennas, the 2.4GHz antenna should be connected to a 5.8GHz

antenna. Each 5.8GHz antenna has two antenna cable ports. The port marked “OUT” is for connecting to the Aeroscope unit, and the port marked “IN” is for connecting to the

2.4GHz antenna. Figure 6 shows the connection conguration and close-up view of a

2.4GHz antenna.

4. Often, the supplied power cable is too short for the connection between the stationary unit

and the nearest available power outlet. In such cases, a qualied electrical engineer must

extend the initial power cable to complete the connection.

5. After powering on, check the LED indicators with reference to Figure 7.

7. Install and run DJI Assistant 2 on a windowns computer (desktop or laptop).

8. Connect the computer and the Aeroscope unit to the same router, or connect them directly via the Ethernet port.

9. After the Aeroscope stationary unit is found on the DJI Assistant 2 start page, set the server IP and Port in Network Settings>Server Network Settings.

10. Set the network mode to Wireless if using a wireless dongle. Set to Wired if using an

Ethernet connection. Depending on network provider requirements, set the parameters manually or set the mode to Auto.

11. Exit DJI Assistant 2.

12. Restart the stationary unit.

13. Connect the stationary unit to the internet.

a. It is recommended to always use Ethernet when possible, because the connection is

stable and free of interference.

b. If using a wireless connection, the dongle must be installed with an active SIM card.

You may need to congure some parameters such as APN in DJI Assistant 2.

14. Log into the Aeroscope web server https://Aeroscope.djiservice.org using your assigned

account. The account management system in Aeroscope manages the relations between each account and each Aeroscope unit. Make sure the DJI admin has added your unit to your account. Otherwise, you will not see your unit when you log in.

Importing Certicates

In most cases, when you receive your Aeroscope stationary unit the certicate should already

be imported. If the certificate doesn’t work or has expired, you will need to import a new

Page 7

certicate manually.

To import a new certicate, follow this procedure:

1. Acquire the certicate les from DJI. A single certicate consists of two les.

2. Download DJI Assistant 2.

3. Install and run DJI Assistant 2 on a windows computer (desktop or laptop).

4. Connect the computer and the Aeroscope unit to the same router or connect them directly via the Ethernet port.

5. After the stationary unit is found in Aeroscope, click it to enter the unit page. Under

Advanced Functions, select the certicate. Import the certicate by selecting both les.

Temporary Setup

The Aeroscope stationary unit can be set up temporarily for urgent temporary events. In these scenarios, a tripod and battery are typically required for installation and power.

The Aeroscope portable unit has the advantage that no installation time is required. However, the Aeroscope stationary unit temporary setup has a longer detection range and supports
