Safety Instructions
Eye Protection
As with any system designed to launch a mass at high velocity, precautions shall
be taken to prevent potential injury.
Never point the
Parachute Pod™
towards anyone or
anything
While the PRS-M350 includes features to prevent unintentional deployments,
users shall be aware that the Parachute Pod™is launched vertically. It is
recommended that the operator maintains a clear area of at least 5 meters after
the system has been powered.
Disarming Manual
Trigger Device
Always disarm the Manual Trigger Device before approaching the DJI M350 RTK
after a landing or in the event of an aborted takeoff.
Ensure PRS-M350 is
DISARMED before
moving it
Do not pick up the PRS-M350 when it is armed because the sensors may
interpret the movements as an in-flight failure. Wait five to ten seconds for the
Autonomous Trigger System to disarm.
Error Status
The system should not be used unless it is indicated that no errors are present.
The system will not arm itself nor deploy in a failure scenario unless it has
initialized successfully.
Low Battery
The PRS-M350 requires enough battery power to operate. Although the PRS-
M350 can draw power from the DJI M350 RTK as a backup if the battery
becomes low during a flight, this feature is not to be used as a substitute for
charging the battery prior to flight.
Parachute Pod™
Repacking
Only parachutes packed by AVSS are compliant. The Parachute Pod™shall be
repacked or replaced annually only by AVSS. You will no longer be compliant
and will void the warranty if you attempt or repack the Parachute Pod™.
Payload Configuration
Always follow DJI’s maximum specified takeoff weight when adding payloads to
the DJI M350 RTK (See Compatibility & Payloads sub-section for a list of
compatible payload configurations).
Position Mode and
Flight Mode Changes
The Autonomous Triggering System is designed to automatically detect
abnormal flight behaviors. Flying in a controlled manner and avoiding erratic
maneuvers ensures that the PRS-M350 can more accurately distinguish
between pilot commands and loss of control. Do not change the flight mode
mid-flight as the DJI M350 RTK can have a hard/abrupt braking maneuver that
can exceed the maximum “30°-degree pitch angle (N-mode, Forward Vision
System enabled: 25°)”2.
Rules and Regulations
Pilots shall follow the rules and regulations put in place by civil aviation or
government bodies in their operating regions.
Li-Po Battery Warning
The PRS-M350 utilizes Li-Po batteries. Li-Po batteries are volatile and can cause
fires. The user must take the necessary precautions when charging the PRS-
M350.

WITH A REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE THE NEXT FLIGHT.

PRS-M350(EX) USER MANUAL FOR DJI M350 RTK
© 2023 AVSS –ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 9
PRS-M350 Overview
The PRS-M350 is composed of five (5) main components:
1. The Electronics Module, which houses the battery, sensors, radio, and controller. These electronics
also control the autonomous triggering system that will deploy the parachute.
2. The swappable Parachute Pod™, which contains a compressed spring and a folded parachute.
3. The Flight Termination System Module, a cable adapter and module that enables the Electronics
Module to communicate with the DJI M350 RTK’s PSDK for motor shutoff.
4. The Bracket, which attaches the PRS-M350 to the DJI M350 RTK and allows for easy removal.
5. The Manual Triggering Device, which allows the user to manually initiate a parachute deployment
when desired by pressing on the red triggering button.
1. First Time Setup
When the user receives the product, the Electronics module comes mounted to the top plate of the
bracket with a Parachute Pod™already attached. For a first-time installation, the user must remove the
landing gear brackets on the DJI M350 RTK, place an aluminum spacer block in between and remount the
landing gear bracket with the longer bolts that are provided by AVSS. This spacer block can stay
permanently attached to the aircraft and ensures that the DJI M350 RTK can still fit in the official DJI M350
RTK supplied hard case. The user must then enable the PSDK on the DJI M350 RTK to allow the FTS to
work, which is done using DJI Assistant software.
2. General Use
To use the PRS-M350 for a flight, the DJI M350 RTK can be unpacked from its case and set up according
to DJI’s user manual. Once the aircraft is in its flight configuration, the AVSS bracket can be mounted to
the DJI M350 RTK. The bracket side plates connect and lock into the spacer blocks. The bracket top plate
which already has the electronics module and Parachute PodTM attached can then be mounted and
locked in place using a combination of a sliding motion and quarter turn fasteners. The provided FTS
Module can then be plugged into the PSDK port on the DJI M350 RTK and connects to the electronics
module using the provided cable that features locking connectors. The PRS-M350 is now fully installed.
The PRS-M350 will turn on automatically when the DJI M350 RTK is turned on. The manual triggering
device is turned on by the user to ensure that it is communicating with the PRS-M350. The manual
triggering device has a secondary arm button that must be held down for two (2) seconds to arm the
manual triggering device before the parachute can be manually deployed. Any error with the PRS-M350
will be communicated to the user via the manual triggering device in the form of verbal warnings and a
status LED. During the flight, the PRS-M350 Autonomous Triggering System will arm itself only once it
has reached the minimum deployable barometric altitude. Afterward, if the DJI M350 RTK experiences a
failure, using a combination of accelerometer, gyro, and barometer data, the Autonomous Triggering
System detects the failure, forces the motors to shutoff, and deploys the parachute without the need for
pilot input. If the DJI M350 RTK experiences a flyaway, loss of communication, or other undesirable
behavior, the pilot can manually trigger the parachute deployment to safely recover the aircraft.
Features, Specifications, Testing, & Compatibility
The PRS-M350 has been designed to easily integrate with DJI Matrice 350 RTK (DJI M350 RTK). The
attachment bracket secures the PRS-M350 without interfering with onboard sensors and can be easily
removed for transport. The system includes an electronic module to power the Parachute Pod™and
flight termination system. The flight termination system is initiated when either the pilot instigates a

PRS-M350(EX) USER MANUAL FOR DJI M350 RTK
© 2023 AVSS –ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 10
deployment through the manual triggering device or when the Autonomous triggering system, using
the onboard sensors located in the electronic module, determine that the DJI M350 RTK has breached
the safe flying parameters. Once the flight termination system is initiated and stops the motors from
spinning, the Parachute Pod™is deployed and will result in the DJI M350 RTK descending under a fully
inflated parachute.
1. Features
Attachment
Bracket
The custom mounting bracket allows the PRS-M350 to be easily installed
with minimal effort.
Independent
Power Source
The PRS-M350 is equipped with an independent power source that allows
the system to deploy if the DJI M350 RTK loses power.
Spring-Based
Ejection
A high-energy spring is used to eject the parachute. This non-pyrotechnic
system is safe for travel on commercial airlines.
Autonomous
Trigger System
The Autonomous Triggering System (ATS) automatically detects failures and
triggers the parachute release.
Manual Triggering
Device
The manual triggering device can initiate deployment of the parachute
recovery system at the discretion of the remote pilot in command.
Flight Termination
System
Plug-and-play system that cuts power to the motors in the event of a failure
and to ensure that the parachute does not become entangled in the DJI
M350 RTK’s propellers.
Audible Buzzer
An audible buzzer on the DJI M350 RTK will attempt to notify bystanders
that the PRS-M350 has deployed and the DJI M350 RTK is descending.
Low Descent Rate
The parachute is designed to greatly reduce the descent velocity of the DJI
M350 RTK in the event of a failure.
Flight Data Logging
Flight data logging to a dedicated microSD Card that is integrated in the PRS-
M350.
Parachute Pods™
Easily replaceable Parachute Pod™.
