Installation Guide

Follow these steps to properly install the Upper Expansion Bay Kit onto your DJI Matrice 600 drone:

1. Prepare the Drone: Ensure your Matrice 600 drone is powered off and the batteries are removed. Place the drone on a stable, flat surface.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on the top frame of your Matrice 600. These are typically threaded holes designed for accessory attachment.
3. Attach Standoffs: Carefully screw the four mounting standoffs into the identified mounting points on the drone's frame. Ensure they are finger-tight, then gently secure them with an appropriate tool, being careful not to overtighten.
4. Position Expansion Plate: Align the holes on the Upper Expansion Plate with the top of the installed standoffs. The plate should sit flush on the standoffs.
5. Secure Expansion Plate: Use the provided screws to attach the expansion plate to the standoffs. Start by hand-tightening all screws, then progressively tighten them in a cross pattern to ensure even pressure and a secure fit. Do not overtighten.
6. Verify Installation: Gently check the installed expansion bay kit to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.

Usage

The Upper Expansion Bay Kit provides a stable platform for mounting various compatible accessories, such as additional sensors, cameras, or communication modules. The multiple mounting holes and slots on the plate allow for flexible positioning of your equipment.

• Always ensure any mounted accessories are securely fastened to the expansion plate using appropriate hardware.
• Distribute the weight of mounted accessories evenly to maintain the drone's balance and flight stability.
• Refer to the manual of your specific accessory for its mounting requirements and compatibility with the expansion plate.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Upper Expansion Bay Kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the expansion plate and standoffs with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all mounting points and screws for any signs of loosening or wear. Tighten any loose screws as necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, store the kit in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Upper Expansion Bay Kit, consider the following:

• Kit is Loose: Ensure all screws securing the plate to the standoffs, and the standoffs to the drone frame, are properly tightened. Do not overtighten.
• Accessory Not Fitting: Verify that the accessory's mounting pattern is compatible with the holes and slots on the expansion plate. Some accessories may require specific adapters (not included).
• Vibrations During Flight: If new vibrations occur after installation, re-check all mounting points for tightness. Ensure the weight of any mounted accessory is balanced and within the drone's payload capacity.
