Profile

Please read this instruction thoroughly for proper operation of your new DJI Ground Station and Wireless

Data-link. Full featured DJI Ground Station enables 3-D Map Way Points Editing, Flight Path Planning,

Real-time Flight State Feedback and Auto Takeoff and Landing. This product is specially designed for the

purpose of aircraft operation, BVR (Beyond Visual Range) flying in applications such as surveillance, aerial

photography, etc. Working with DJI autopilot system, DJI Ground Station not only ensures stable performance

and safety of the aircraft, easy operation for the pilot, but also allows the aircraft to fly along the flight path set

before or modified during the flight mission in the Ground Station software autonomously. This manual covers

both Single Waypoint and Ground Station products. Read this manual accordingto your product package. E.g.,

if you have WKM Single Waypoint, then you do not need to read section 4.4. Please refer to DJI autopilot

manual for semi-auto takeoff and landing.

Matters Need Attention

1. The ability of penetrating of radio signal from 2.4GHz wireless data-link is weak;

please make sure the antenna of it is always visible to the ground end during the flight.

Human body, trees, buildings or hills will stop the communication between air end and

ground end.

2. You‟d better put the ground end at high place. This can guarantee a good

communication range.

3. Make sure the antenna head of air end is erect down, and the antenna head of ground

end is erect up. Make sure there is no obstacle between antennas; otherwise the

communication range will be reduced.

4. Ground end Link-Alarm red light on is distance alarm, red light off is safe. When it is on,

you‟d better return your aircraft.

5. When ground end Link-Alarm green light is off, this indicates the communication

between ground end and air end is off, whatever the state of red light.

6. Make sure the driver is installed correctly.

7. Please choose the right com port.

8. Check out the power supply of wireless data-links before use.

9. Please close the DJI assistant software before open the ground station. Otherwise

there will be port conflict.

10. Make sure the distance between 2.4GHz ground end and air end is over 1.5m; the

distance between 900MHz ground end and air end is over 5m.

11. Use the right cable for connection.

12. High voltage servos & FBL systems can drain the flight battery fast. Please make sure

your flight pack is sufficient for the flight time intended.

13. About control modes (Manual, Atti., GPS Atti., GPS Cruise), please refer to ACE

Control Modes in ACE Waypoint User Manual and WKM Control Modes in WKM User

Manual.

14. Autopilot Mode (auto mode) means: GPS Atti. or GPS Cruise Mode in ACE; GPS Atti.

Mode in WKM.

If you have any problem you cannot solve during installation and usage, please contact our

customer service.

Connection

Antenna

Head

Ground End

· You should have a DJI Ground Station installed laptop.

· Use the USB Cable supplied by us to connect the wireless data-

link ground end to you laptop. One end of the USB cable has two

heads, make sure the communication interface is plugged into

your laptop. If the power supply is insufficient using one USB port,

then plug the power interface Into the laptop also.

Air End

· 900MHz wireless data-link air end has two CAN ports. When you use it with ACE autopilot

system and low voltage servo, you should connect one CAN port to sparE CAN port on

autopilot system, and connect another one to a battery whose output voltage is in the range

of wireless data-link air end working voltage.

· 2.4GHz wireless data-link air end has only one CAN port.

· Usually connecting one CAN port on air end to any spare CAN port on DJI autopilot system is

enough.

· WKM user should use it with PMU.

· High voltage servos & FBL systems can drain the flight battery fast. Please make sure your flight pack

is sufficient for the flight time intended.

· Make sure the antenna head of Wireless data-link air end is erect down, then you can have the

largest range.
