4. Ingress Protection Rating Description
The T20 is waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant when it is functioning normally. Under
stable laboratory conditions, the aircraft has a protection rating of IPX6 (IEC standard 60529)
and can be cleaned using a small amount of water. The aerialelectronics system (barometer
excluded), spray control system, ESC system, and radar module has a protection rating of up to
IP67. However, this protection rating is not permanent and may reduce over time after long-term
use due to aging and wear. The product warranty does not cover water damage. The protection
ratings of the aircraft mentioned above may decrease in the following scenarios:
• There is a collision and the seal structure is deformed.
• The seal structure of the shell is cracked or damaged.
• The waterproof covers are not properly secured.
5. Operation
•
Stay away from the rotating propellers and motors.
•
The takeoff weight must not exceed 45.5 kg when using near sea level. Note that when using
at a higher sea level, the takeoff weight capacity will be reduced.
•
Once the operating altitude reaches 1 km (3,280 ft), the payload capacity of the spray tank is
reduced by 2 kg. For every additional km, the payload capacity will be reduced another 2 kg.
•
Maintain a visual line of sight (VLOS) of your aircraft at all times.
•
DO NOT use the Combination Stick Command (CSC) or other methods to stop the motors
when the aircraft is airborne unless in an emergency situation.
•
DO NOT answer incoming calls during ight. DO NOT y under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
•
If there is a low battery warning, land the aircraft at a safe location.
•
If the radar module is unable to work properly in the operating environment, the aircraft will be
unable to avoid obstacles during Return to Home (RTH). All that can be adjusted is the ight
speed and altitude, as long as the remote controller is still connected.
•
After landing, stop the motors, power off the aircraft, and power off the remote controller.
Otherwise, the aircraft may enter Failsafe RTH automatically due to remote controller signal loss.
•
Maintain full control of the aircraft at all times and do not rely on the DJI Agras app. The
obstacle avoidance function is disabled in certain situations. Keep the aircraft within VLOS and
pay close attention to its ight. Use your discretion to operate the aircraft and manually avoid
obstacles in a timely manner. It is important to set an appropriate Failsafe and RTH altitude
before each ight.

reliable modular aerial-electronics system is integrated with a dedicated industrial ight controller,
OCUSYNCTM 2.0 HD transmission system, and RTK module. It has dual IMUs and barometers and
adopts a propulsion control system redundancy design including both digital and analog signals to
ensure ight safety.
The GNSS+RTK dual-redundancy system is compatible with GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo.
The T20 also supports centimeter-level positioning
antenna technology provides strong resistance against magnetic interference.
The upgraded spraying system features an improvement in payload. It also has a 4-channel
electromagnetic ow meter to ensure consistent spraying for all sprinklers.
The new-generation omnidirectional digital radar provides functions such as terrain following and
obstacle sensing and circumventing in all horizontal directions. The aircraft is equipped with a wideangle FPV camera that enables users to observe the landscape from the front of the aircraft.
The aircraft has a backup power system, which supplies power to the aircraft for approximately
20 seconds when the Intelligent Flight Battery is powered off due to malfunction during ight. This
allows the aircraft to avoid accident and land safely.
Due to its industrial design and material, the T20 is dustproof, waterproof, and corrosion-resistant. The
aircraft has a protection rating of IPX6 (IEC standard 60529), while the protection rating of the aerialelectronics system, spray control system, propulsion ESC system, and radar module is up to IP67.
The Smart Controller 2.0 uses the DJI OcuSync 2.0 transmission system, has a maximum control
distance of up to 3 km
[2]
, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions. The remote controller is
equipped with a 5.5-inch bright, dedicated screen that has the DJI Agras app built in, signicantly
improving smoothness and stability. When the RTK dongle is connected to the remote controller,
users can plan operations to centimeter-level precision. The Multi-Aircraft Control mode of the
remote controller can be used to coordinate the operation of up to ve aircraft at the same time,
enabling pilots to work efficiently. Both the built-in battery and external battery can be used to

Feature Highlights
The modular design of the T20 simplies assembly. The airframe can be quickly folded, making
it easy for transportation. Both the Intelligent Flight Battery and spray tank are easily swappable,
signicantly improving the efciency of power and liquid supply.
The T20 has an aerial-electronics system with a multiple redundancy design, and also has onboard
D-RTK antennas, supporting dual-antenna technology that provides strong resistance against
magnetic interference to ensure ight safety.
Thanks to the dedicated DJI industrial ight control system, the T20 offers four operation modes:
[1] The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC / NCC: 5 km (3.11 mi); CE / KCC / MIC / SRRC:
3 km (1.86 mi)) in an open area with no electromagnetic interference, and at an altitude of approximately 2.5 m (8.2 ft).
[2] The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC / NCC: 5 km (3.11 mi); CE / KCC / MIC / SRRC:
3 km (1.86 mi)) in an open area with no electromagnetic interference, and at an altitude of approximately 2.5 m (8.2 ft).
DJI Agras app automatically produces flight routes based on your planned fields. To start,
simply select the eld from the eld list. Plan a eld by walking with the remote controller, an RTK
Dongle, an RTK handheld mapping device, or by ying the aircraft to waypoints, according to the
application scenarios. In scenarios with complicated terrain, use the Phantom 4 RTK and DJI Terra
to plan 3D ight routes, and import the routes to DJI Agras for operation.
In A-B Route operation mode, the aircraft travels along a planned route and sprays its liquid
payload. Users can set the line spacing, ying speed, and other parameters.
In Manual operation mode, users can start and stop spraying manually and also adjust the spray rate.
In Manual Plus operation mode, the ight speed is restricted and the heading is locked. Except for
the heading, users can control the movement of the aircraft via the control sticks. Press button C1
or C2 on the remote controller or the corresponding button in the app and the aircraft will y one
line spacing to the left or right. Note that button C1 and button C2 are customizable in the app.
The T20 also includes the Operation Resumption function. When pausing the operation in Route or
A-B Route operation mode, Operation Resumption records a breakpoint for the aircraft. Users can
resume from the breakpoint when continuing the operation.
The omnidirectional digital radar works automatically in Route, A-B Route, and Manual Plus
operation modes during both day and night, without being affected by light or dust. Altitude
detection and stabilization functions are available in forward, backward, and downward directions
while Obstacle Avoidance is available in all horizontal directions. The radar module can detect
the angle of a slope and automatically adjust to maintain the same distance with the surface even
in mountainous terrain. In Route and A-B Route operation modes, the radar can effectively sense
obstacles and plan a ight route to actively circumvent obstacles in all horizontal directions. Note
that this is disabled by default. Users can enable it in the app.
The remote controller features Multi-Aircraft Control mode (coming soon), which can be used to
coordinate the operation of up to ve aircraft simultaneously. Turn the aircraft control switch dial on
the remote controller to switch control between different aircraft.

The T20 uses a dedicated DJI industrial ight controller to provide multiple ight modes and operation
modes for various applications. The omnidirectional digital radar provides terrain following to guide
the aircraft to maintain a constant distance above crops in specic operation modes and is capable
to actively circumvent obstacles in all horizontal directions. Functions such as operation resumption,
system data protection, empty tank warning, low battery level warning, and RTH are also available.
Flight Modes
The aircraft will y in P-mode by default. Users can switch between ight modes by toggling the Flight
Mode switch on the remote controller when A-mode is enabled in the app.
P-mode (Positioning): The aircraft utilizes GNSS or the RTK module for positioning. When the GNSS
signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning. When the RTK module is enabled and the
differential data transmission is strong, it provides centimeter-level positioning. It will revert to A-mode
when the GNSS signal is weak or when the compass experiences interference.
A-mode (Attitude): GNSS is not used for positioning and the aircraft can only maintain altitude using the
barometer. The ight speed in A-mode depends on its surroundings such as the wind speed.
Attitude Mode Warning
In A-mode, the aircraft cannot position itself and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result
in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft.
Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difcult. Avoid ying in conned spaces or in areas where
the GNSS signal is weak. Otherwise, the aircraft will enter A-mode, leading to potential ight risks. Land
the aircraft in a safe place as soon as possible.
Operation Modes
The T20 provides Route, A-B Route, Manual, and Manual Plus operation modes. Users can use DJI
Agras to switch between A-B Route, Manual, and Manual Plus.
Route Operation Mode
After the operation area and obstacles have been measured and settings have been configured,
DJI Agras uses a built-in intelligent operation planning system to produce a ight route based on the
user’s input. Users can invoke an operation after planning a eld. The aircraft will begin the operation
automatically and follow the planned ight route. Operation resumption, altitude stabilization, obstacle
avoidance, and auto obstacle circumvention of the radar module are available in Route operation mode.
Use the app to adjust the spray amount and ying speed. Route operation mode is recommended for
large spray area.
Field Planning
DJI Agras supports multiple planning methods for various applications.
Walk with RTK
There are two methods to plan the eld by walking with RTK: RTK Dongle and Handheld RTK. Walking
with an RTK dongle uses the RTK dongle connected to the remote controller to record measurements,
while walking with a handheld RTK uses the D-RTK 2 mobile station to record measurements. Make sure
that the aircraft is powered off when planning your ight route.
The following descriptions use walking with RTK dongle as an example. Walking with a handheld RTK is
similar to walking with an RTK dongle except users should walk with a mobile station instead of a remote
