4. Drone
The product consists of a flight control system, a communication system, a positioning system, a
power system and a smart flight battery. This chapter sets down the functions of all parts of the
drone.
4.1 Positioning
Atom SE adopts Potensic's new SurgeFly™ flight control technology, which supports the following two positioning
modes:
GPS positioning: Provide precise positioning and navigation to the drone; support precise hovering, smart flight
and auto return.
Visual positioning: It can realize high-precision positioning at a low altitude based on the Downward Vision
System. The visual positioning can be realized without GPS signal, so that the product can be used indoors.
How to switch: The flight control system will switch automatically according to the environment of the drone. If
both GPS and lower visual system fail, the flight control will be switched to attitude mode, under which, the drone
fails to realize stable hovering and user needs to correct the flight gesture manually through the control stick.
The difficulty of drone handling will be increased greatly in the attitude mode; make sure to master the behaviors
and operation of the drone in this mode before using this mode; avoid flying the drone at a long distance, to avoid
risks due to failed judgment of drone gesture.
In visual positioning, smart flight is not supported and flight speed will be restricted.
The difficulty of controlling the drone will increase dramatically in ATTI Mode so make sure to master the operation
of the drone in this mode. Always keep the drone within sight in order to avoid risks in case of failed judgment of
the drone's attitude and direction.
4.2 Downward Vision System
The Atom SE is equipped with a downward vision system, it is located beneath
the drone. The Downward Vision System consists of a monocular camera and
a TOF module. The TOF module includes a transmitter tube and a receiver tub,
it can precisely calculate the fly height above the ground by calculating the
infrared signals transmission and receiving time. In combination with the
monocular camera, the system can help achieve high-precision positioning at
low altitudes.
Detection Fileds
The Downward Vision System works best when the drone is at an altitude of 0.3 to 5 m, and its operating
range is 0.3 to 10 m.
When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a discernable surface
and sufficient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the drone is at an altitude of 0.3 to 5 m. If
the drone’s altitude is above 5 m, the Vision System may be affected, so extra caution is required.
How to use
The Downward Vision System has enabled automatically if the positioning conditions are satisfied. The drone
tail indicator blinks cyan twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working.
Speed limit: To ensure positioning accuracy and flight safety during visual positioning flight, the drone will
actively limit its flight speed.
Visual positioning is only an auxiliary flight function, please always pay attention to the changes in the flight
environment and positioning mode, and do not rely too much on the automatic judgment of the aircraft. Users need
to control the remote at all times and be prepared to operate the aircraft manually at any time.
The Vision System cannot work properly in any of the following situations
1. Pure-color surface
2. Surface with strong reflection, such as smooth metal surface
3. Transparent object surface, such as water surface and glass
4. The moving texture, such as running pets and moving vehicles.
User can also switch to attitude mode in APP.

Wider communication angle is ensured
at a close distance in this mode.
5.4 Antenna Angle
Adjust the antenna angle along with the changes of drone height and distance, to ensure the best communication
status of the remote controller.
1. Power on the remote controller and connect it with the mobile phone, launch PotensicPro APP, tap setting and
select “Rematch the drone” to enter the frequency pairing interface.
2. After powering on the drone, long press the“Power”button until the drone indicator flashes quickly in green; at
this time, the drone is ready for frequency pairing.
3. Wait for about 7s, the remote controller beeps once to indicate frequency pairing is successful and the flight
interface of the APP will show realtime image transmission.
5.3.3 Remote Controller Function
The Atom SE drone and the remote controller can be used immediately after startup since they have passed
frequency pairing before delivery. If a new remote controller or drone is used for the first time, user must conduct
frequency pairing for them as follows prior to use:
Make sure the remote controller is within 1m of the drone during frequency pairing.
If frequency pairing fails, check if there are interferences nearby, or other drones are also in frequency pairing mode, or
the remote control is too far away or blocked. Eliminate the problems above and try again.
Do not relocate or handle the remote control and the drone during frequency pairing.
Keep both antennas pointing directly
towards the drone to acquire a longer
transmission distance.
If the drone is right above user,
this angle can ensure best
communication effect.
Do not cross the antenna in any case. Do not press the antenna on your mobile device in any case.
