SKYCATCH SKCEX201 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Upward Gimbal Connector, Dual Gimbal Connector, and CSM Radar. This document provides instructions on how to mount payloads and use the radar with your Explore2 aircraft. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the installation, features, or usage of these devices.
  • What is the IP rating of the Upward Gimbal Connector?
    Where is the Dual Gimbal Connector used?
    What is the detection range of the CSM Radar?
    What are the detection angles of the CSM Radar?
