(1) Mount the GPS module with a bracket, to avoid interference with the power board on the center frame.
(2) Ensure the IMU is mounted with the arrow pointing toward the front.
(3) If using a receiver, attach it under the bottom board of the center frame with the end of the antenna
facing downwards away from obstructions to avoid loss of control due to signal loss.
(4) Ensure frame arms are mounted correctly.
a) Motor mounts with CCW marks should be mounted to the corresponding center frame positions
with the following marks: M1, M3, M5, and M7.
b) Motor mounts with CW marks should be mounted to the corresponding center frame positions with
the following marks: M2, M4, M6, and M8.
(5) Do not remove any glued-in screws.
(6) Tighten screws appropriately. Screws marked with blue glue can be used without thread locker once. On
other occasions, apply appropriate thread locker.
(7) S1000 should be raised above the ground when testing landing gear or recalibrating servo travel.
(8) Notice that matching the indicators is very important. Please pay attention to them.
Flight Cautions
(1) ESCs are not water-proof, do not fly in rain or snow.
(2) Ensure all soft dampers and vibration absorbers are in good condition before every flight. If not, replace
immediately. Otherwise, the flight performance of your aircraft will be adversely affected.
(3) Ensure all parts are in good condition before each flight. Do not fly with worn or broken parts.
(4) Ensure propellers and motors are installed correctly and propellers are unfolded before flying.
(5) Ensure ESC signal connectors and power cable connectors are tight and reliable before every flight.
(6) When flying, stay away a safe distance from people, buildings, high-voltage lines, tall trees, water and
other hazards.
(7) Use only 6S LiPo batteries for the power supply.
(8) Ensure all output signals from M1 to M8 are in proper working order when using the DJI A2 flight control
system to avoid damage or injury.
(9) Do not overload the system.
(10) Do not get close to or touch motors or propellers when they are spinning as this can cause serious injury.
(11) Disconnect battery and remove camera during breaks and transportation to avoid damage or injury.
(12) We strongly recommend using as many DJI parts as possible.
Others
(1) If you have any problem you cannot resolve, contact your dealer or DJI customer service.
When flying, fast rotating propellers may cause serious damage and injury. Please fly safe at all times.
1. Check arms.
(1) Check propellers for cracks, then install and screw propeller cover on tightly.
(2) Ensure motors are mounted firmly and rotate freely.
(3) Mount arms with red propeller covers to M1 and M2 to indicate the nose of the S1000.
(4) Distinguish marks CW and CCW on the arms. Mount the arms with mark CCW to the M1, M3, M5, and M7
positions of the center frame. The arms marked CW should be mounted to the M2, M4, M6, and M8
positions of the center frame.
(5) Check power cable connector. Diagram A shows normal and B shows abnormal. The correct connection
method is detailed below.
i. Remove shrapnel from the damaged connector as demonstrated by diagram A using tweezers or a knife.
ii. Replace the power cable connector if the shrapnel damage is too great (e.g. connector is broken or bent)
and cannot be pulled out or plugged in.

2. Insert frame arm vertically into the mounting area on the center frame.
3. Adjust screw mounts of frame arm and center frame.
4. Insert the M4x35 screw from the right of the frame arm as the thread is located on the left of the screw
mount. Tighten screw appropriately. Over tightening may lead to connector abrasion.
4. Attach the GPS collapsible mount to the center frame using M2.5x6.7 screws. Washer for GPS
collapsible mount is pre-installed on the center frame. To install GPS collapsible mount, remove the screw
from the washer then follow the below instructions:
(1) Remove screw ① from the center frame.
(2) Position GPS collapsible mount then return the screw to its original position and tighten.
(3) Remove remaining screw ② from center frame.
(4) Position GPS collapsible mount then return screw to its original position and tighten.
5. Mount a GPS module to the GPS mount with a bracket. Ensure the arrow points toward the nose and
avoid catching fingers in the bracket when folding for transportation.
(1) Only mount the IMU in the IMU position of the center frame.
(2) Mount the GPS with a bracket to avoid interference from the center frame power board.
(3) Use glue to install the GPS bracket. Ensure it is firm and reliable before every flight.
(4) Always test motors using the Assistant Software after installation. Refer to the “Flight control system user
manual” for details.
Connecting main controller to center frame
1. Finish flight control system connection according to the A2 flight control system user manual.
2. Link connector set (blue) to ESC signal outlet on the center frame then link connector set (blue) to main
controller as shown below.
(1) Yellow 4-pin cables are for M1~ M4 connections. Yellow cable should be connected to M1.
(2) Brown 4-pin cables are for M5~ M8 connections. Brown cable should be connected to M5.
(3) Black 4-pin cables are for four continuous ground pins connections. M1~M4 are connected as the
