Aircraft

This section describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Matrice 200 ight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe

and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if control signal is lost.

The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Flight Mode

The following ight modes are available for Matrice 200:

P-mode (Positioning) :

P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.

When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufcient, the maximum

flight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing is disabled, the maximum flight attitude angle is 30°. When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control altitude. Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve higher speeds.

S-mode (Sport):

The aircraft uses GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode. Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick movements.

A-mode (Attitude):

When neither the GPS nor the Vision Systems are available, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in A-mode.

The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will

not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its ight path. Be vigilant and stay clear of nearby obstacles.

The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode

(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.

The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small

stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.

Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.

The aircraft’s descent speed is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking

distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.

Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to select aircraft ight modes.

MATRICE 200 User Manual

Atti Mode Warning The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances: Passive: When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference where the Vision System is unavailable.

Active: Users toggle the ight mode switch to A-mode.

In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position or auto-brake in this mode 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 difcult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make sure you are comfortable ying in this mode. DO NOT y the aircraft too far away as you might lose

control and cause a potential hazard.

Avoid ying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in conned spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential ight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as

possible.

Flight Status Indicator

The aircraft features Front LEDs, a Rear LED, and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these

LEDs are shown in the gure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator

Rear LEDFront LED

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. Front and rear LEDs can be turned off in the

DJI GO 4 app. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the ight controller.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

The main components of the Vision System are located on the front and bottom of the aircraft, including [1] [3] stereo vision sensors and [2] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision Sys tem uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly scans for obstacles, allowing the Matrice 200 to avoid them by going over, going around, or hovering. The Infrared Sensing System consists [4] of two infrared modules on top of the aircraft. These scan

for obstacles on top side of the aircraft and is active in certain ight modes.

MATRICE 200 User Manual

ON OFF

Auto Hold

Follow the steps below to use the Vision System:

1. Ensure the aircraft is in P-mode and place the aircraft on a at surface. Note that

the Vision System cannot work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.

2. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft will hover in place after takeoff. The aircraft status indicators will ash green twice, which indicates the Vision System is working. Gently push the left stick up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.

Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing

Powered by the Forward Vision System, the aircraft is able to actively brake when obstacles are detected in front. Obstacle Sensing works best when lighting is adequate and the obstacle is

clearly textured. The aircraft must y at no more than 31 mph (50 kph) to allow for sufcient braking

distance.

Using Infrared Sensing System

The Infrared Sensing System can only be used to avoid large, diffuse, and reflective obstacles

(reectivity >10%). Please be mindful of blind spots (Grey) of the Infrared Sensing System.

MATRICE 200 User Manual

The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System is affected by the surface

being own over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when

operating above sound-absorbing materials and the cameras may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations.

The Vision System will be disabled when: a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

b) Flying over highly reective surfaces.

c) Flying over water or transparent surfaces. d) Flying over moving surfaces or objects. e) Flying in an areas where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

f) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.

g) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. h) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling). i) Flying at high speeds of over 31 mph (50 kph) at 2 meters or over 11 mph (18 kph) at

1 meter. The Ultrasonic sensors will be disabled when: a) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).

b) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

The Infrared be disabled when:

a) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reective surface.

b) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged.

Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness. Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.

The Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.

The Vision System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux).

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision System is in

operation.

Keep away from animals while operating the aircraft, as the ultrasonic sensors emit highfrequency sounds which may disturb them.

Return-to-Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three RTH types in detail.

Description

. Less than 4 bars is considered a weak

Home Point

GPS

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon GPS signal. The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

MATRICE 200 User Manual

The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and

lighting conditions are sufcient. The aircraft will automatically ascend to avoid obstacles and

descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home while facing

forward, it cannot rotate or y left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is

enabled.

Smart RTH

Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH (Can be turned off in DJI GO 4 app)

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a tensecond countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. If the RTH procedure is cancelled following a low battery level warning the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough charge for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user cannot cancel the auto landing but can use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO 4 app, and is described below:

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds.

The aircraft will plan its return route and retrace its original ight route home. The user may cancel

Failsafe RTH to regain control when connection is reestablished.

RTH Procedure

1. Home Point is recorded automatically.

2. RTH procedure is triggered i.e., Smart RTH, Low-Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH.

3. Home Point is conrmed and the aircraft adjusts its orientation.

4. a. The aircraft will ascend to the pre-set RTH attitude and then y to the Home Point when the

aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point.

b. The aircraft will land automatically if RTH is triggered and the aircraft is less than 20 m from the

home point.

5. The aircraft will hover 0.7 m above ground and wait for conrmation from the user. The aircraft will land and stop its motors after user conrmation.

MATRICE 200 User Manual

5. Landing (After User Conrmation)

Hovering at 0.7 meters above the Home Point

Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] Less than 4

bars is considered a weak GPS signal) or unavailable.

User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to 65 feet (20 meters) from

the current altitude. However, users can press the RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.

The aircraft will automatically descend and land if RTH is triggered when the aircraft ies

within a 65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. The aircraft will stop ascending and will return to the Home Point if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters) in altitude or beyond during Failsafe.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward Vision System is

disabled. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each ight. Launch DJI GO 4,

enter camera and tap to set Failsafe Altitude.

Failsafe Safety Notices

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH when the Forward Vision System is disabled. Therefore, it is important to set a

suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO 4 app,

enter Camera and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.

If the aircraft is ying under 65 feet (20 meters) and Failsafe (including

20 m

Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH) is triggered, the aircraft will first automatically ascend to 65 feet (20 meters) from the current altitude. You can only cancel the ascending by exiting the Failsafe.

20 m

The aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when

the aircraft ies within a 65 foot (20 meter) radius of the Home Point. The

aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if

you move the left stick when the aircraft is ying at an altitude of 65 feet (20

meters) or higher and Failsafe is triggered.

The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [

] displaying less than four bars) or is unavailable.

MATRICE 200 User Manual

If you move the left stick when the aircraft is flying above 65 feet (20 meters) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH*

The aircraft can sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the aircraft will act as follows:

1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far away as 984 feet (300 meters)

in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home.

2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead.

3. The aircraft stops and hovers then starts ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually,

the aircraft will stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle.

4. RTH procedure resumes. The aircraft will continue ying to the Home Point at the current altitude.

5 meters

300 meters

15 meters

*Coming soon.

Obstacle Sensing is disabled during RTH descent. Proceed with care. To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it cannot rotate during RTH while the For-

ward Vision System is enabled.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles beside or behind it.

Landing Protection Function

Landing Protection will activate during auto-landing.

1. Landing Protection determines whether the ground is suitable for landing. If so, the Matrice 200 will land smoothly.

2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Matrice 200 will hover

and wait for pilot conrmation. The aircraft will hover if it detects the ground is not appropriate for landing even with a critically low battery warning. Only when the battery level decreases to 0% will the aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft ight orientation.

3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the Matrice

200 descends below 0.7 meters. Tap to conrm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land

when the environment is appropriate for landing.
