CHAPTER 2
Operation
Mount and connect the TS150 according to the installation instructions :
1. Connect the power station to the ground control station.
2. Connect the ground control station to the multicopter.
3. Extend the cable out of the GS in an orderly manner. In future versions this wil be not necessary.
4. Power the TS150 turning on the ground switch.
5. Start Veronte Pipe.
6. Wait until the ground control station is shown.
7. Power the multicopter using the air switch.
8. Wait until the multicopter is on Veronte Pipe.
9. The system is ready.

Workspace
The picture above shows the workspace for a tethered operation with default telemetry on screen. On the bottom left
the motor information is displayed with six dynamic labels that change colour depending on the motor demand. Above
the motor information the operator can check the GNSS accuracy and on top of it the altitude as well as the vertical
speed of the TS150.
