SKYCATCH SKCEX201 User manual

Brand: SKYCATCH

Model: SKCEX201

Type: User manual

The SKYCATCH SKCEX201 is a versatile drone capable of precise indoor and outdoor flight, featuring a dual sensing system, obstacle avoidance, and long-range connectivity. Its camera sensing system enables stable hovering and accurate positioning, while the infrared sensing system enhances obstacle detection and altitude measurement. With a detection range of up to 8 meters, the drone can effectively avoid collisions in complex environments, making it ideal for indoor inspections, mapping, and search and rescue operations.

The aircraft cannot detect objects in the grey area. Please y with caution.

Users can set the braking distance and warning distance in the App. The aircraft can

automatically stop when flying near to the braking distance. Once the aircraft enters the

warning distance, the obstacle information will be displayed as yellow. When the aircraft is

close to the obstacle avoidance safety distance, the obstacle information will be displayed

as red.

1. Power on the aircraft.

2. Connect the aircraft and the PC with a USB-C cable.

3. Launch Skycatch Update Manager for Explore2.

4. Click Explore2 and the calibration button.

5. Place the side of visual calibration plate with the dots facing the camera sensing System, and

follow the instructions in the Skycatch Update Manager to complete calibration.

DO NOT power off or unplug the USB-C cable after calibration. Wait for data calculation.
