3Introduction
The DRS-M210-V2 is an autonomous parachute solution for the DJI M210-V2 (UAV),
providing the following advantages
•Very light-weighted, because we are not using a pyrotechnical, spring or
servo-approach to eject the parachute, but a very light-weighted
internationally patented catapult mechanism
•Completely autonomous due to own developed and from the flight controller
independent electronics
•Easy to reuse within minutes
•LED + acoustical indication signal before take-off and when the parachute
gets deployed
•No explosive component to deploy the parachute
•Simply to attach and detach due to a bayonet mechanism
This document will guide you through the system components, installation,
configuration and pre-flight checks as well as possible firmware updates, storage
and maintenance recommendations.

5Installation
Unmount all propellors and detach all batteries and other power supplies before
starting the installation!
Mounted propellors may cause any injuries or damages.
It is mandatory to verify the correct operation with an assembly test right
after the installation! See chapter 5.6 Assembly test for details.
Install the mounting plate
The Mounting plate will be mounted on the top of the UAV. Therefore, take four
Spacers and place each one on one upward Gimbal mounting position. Put the
Mounting plate on the Spacers and fixate it with the Screws as shown in pictures
below.

Mount the cords
Make sure the drone is in a stable
upside position. Select one of the
front arms of the UAV. Mount one
Parachute cord to the arm and pull it
around close to the hinge. Thread one
end of the cord through the other
end’s loop. Repeat the steps on the
other front arm and tighten the
Parachute cords well.
Mount the Container cord similar to
the Parachute cords on to the left arm
of the UAV rear side and tighten it
well.
Put the Hook and loop fastener over
each Parachute cord and the
Container cord.

Take both Parachute cords and thread
the ends through the central hole in the
Cord box lid. Then push the lid
downwards.
Thread the open ends of both Parachute
cords through the Hook’s small hole
without opening.
Push the Parachute cords far enough
through the hole to wrap the loops over
the Hook. Push the Cord box lid up till
