2 General Description Overall Presentation Ligh-T is a rugged tethered station for multirotor drones. This compact and robust solution enables the transmission of power from an external ground power supply unit to the drone through the micro-tether and the retention of the drone in a safe volume of flight. Ligh-T can be described in three parts: the ground station, the micro-tether and the air module. Air Module Micro-tether Power generator Ground station

4 Ground Station The ground station is a ruggedized case with two main functions: adapting the power signal from an external power supply unit for the micro-tether and ensuring a proper Ethernet communication between the drone and the ground station. Non-conducting and crushproof, the Ligh-T case compound is tailored for demanding field operations. Its padded handle makes it easily transportable. The foam integrated in the upper part of the case protects and secures the micro-tether s connector during transportation. The ground station user interface includes a control board with three actuators: 1. Buzzer: The buzzer is informing you about alarms (power consumption, temperature, power ON, power standby) 2. Drone Power Switch: Power through the micro-tether needs to be activated with this actuator. Please do not manipulate the micro-tether once it is switched on, and only turn it on when your drone is connected and you are ready to take-off. 3. WIFI connectivity: The T-monitor application allow you to monitor the power consumption of the drone and the temperature inside the Ligh-T. 4. Tether reel: The tether reel is in two parts; the top flange could be remove for flying and attached for winding the cable Buzzer Heat Sink Tether Reel Drone Power Switch RJ45 connector

5 Micro-Tether When the LIGH-T is in use, the micro-tether is transmitting elevated voltage electricity (inferior to 500V DC, low voltage). An alteration of the micro-tether may cause severe damage and injury. Please fly safe always. The LIGH-T declines in 1 micro-tether length version: LIGH-T 50m. The micro-tether is composed of the following parts: a power transmission conductor, an aramid reinforcement and a black protection sheath. It weighs only 12 g / m, is very flexible and is designed to supply 1000 W nominal power and up to W power peaks over up to 50 meters. Its aramid reinforcement guarantees a full mastering of the drone s evolution and makes it compliant to most of civil aviation tethered drone regulations. The end connector is composed of a mechanical fastener, a power connector and a data connector. Air Module The Air Module is a key component of the Ligh-T. Miniaturized and ruggedized to fit in classical batteries compartments, this compact module delivers a continuous power supply to the drone, while securing the flight thanks to the safety battery feature. This element includes following connectors: Tether Connection Data connector: Ethernet RJ45 Power connectors: Drone cable connectors AS150 red (female connector)/xt150 black (female connector) Safety battery XT90 (male connector) need anti-spark Please note that the length of drone and battery cables is around 15 cm. Please note that the ventilation grid needs to be free of obstructions to ensure a proper airflow and cooling of the air module. A 3D model of the air module can be supplied by Elistair (.step file) for integration work. Please use XT90 battery connectors with anti-spark protections. The module is designed to power a drone until 1000W average. The safety battery is not a battery for peak power absorption. It could damage the embedded power module.
