Installation

Required Tools

  • 2mm hex driver

  • 1.5mm hex driver

  • Side cut pliers or other trimming tool

  • DJI Assistant 2 and Micro USB cable (for M600 channel mapping)

  • Forceps (optional)

Removing the Hard-Mount

  1. Using a 2mm hex driver, remove the M600 hard-mounted rails from the bottom of the M600 chassis.

  1. Disconnect the 6S-LiPO power supply cable from the landing gear control module.

  2. Remove the power distribution board bottom cover by gently prying.

  3. Remove the top cover of the M600, exposing the flight controller. For the M600 Pro, this process necessitates removal of the front GNSS module. Using a 2mm hex driver, remove the antenna mast from the top cover and set aside. Remove the 4 screws holding the top cover to the central frame and lift the top cover off the UAV.

Installing the PWM cable

  1. From the bottom of the UAV, route the PWM cable:

    1. Up through the rubber grommet at the rear of the chassis, just above the power distribution board.

    2. Up to the top side of the central frame near the flight controller output ports.

Tip: The grommets and cable are visible and accessible through the open battery slots, especially #4. Forceps may be helpful.

  1. Connect the PWM cable to the F8 output port on the flight controller.

  2. Reinstall the fan cable, top cover, and front GPS module.

  3. With the PWM and landing gear power supply cables properly routed, reinstall the power distribution board bottom cover by snapping it into place.

  1. Reconnect the landing gear power supply XT30 connectors.

Installing the Power Cable

  1. Connect the XT30 -> XT60 power cable to the M600 18V output at the bottom of the UAV.

Installing the Vibration Damper

  1. Using a 2mm hex driver, loosen the vibration isolators from the 12mm rails and re-tighten them after rotating the mounts 90 degrees for assembly.

Tip: The rails have white dotted lines to as a visual aid to ensure the damper cartridges are installed at the correct location along the rail to mate with the M600.

  1. Using the 12 screws from the hard-mount removal, install the M600 vibration damper mount. The damper should be oriented so the payload TITH mount is slightly biased to the rear of the UAV for proper weight and balance with the GRYFN Mojave nHP + OS1 payload (no RGB).

Caution: If the mount is installed in the incorrect orientation, the M600 will be off-balance. The vibration damper mount orientation and TITH rail location can be adjusted to achieve batter balance if necessary. Please note the GRYFN Mojave payload's Center of Gravity is not always directly in-line with the payload clamp/TITH.

Installing the GNSS Antenna

  1. Using the included M3x8 and M3x6.5 screws and a 2mm hex driver, install the folding GNSS mast as shown on the left side of the UAV.

  2. Move the antenna mast to its upright position and screw the AV18 antenna onto SMA connector.

  1. Using the included cable ties, route the GNSS antenna cable to the bottom of the UAV near the PWM cable.

  2. Using your cutting tool, trim the excess from the cable ties.
