Rock Robotic R3Pro Kit Installation

Read and follow any instructions from the manufacturer prior to installation If there is any contradiction to the following instructions, do not proceed and contact IFT.

Before proceeding with these instructions, ensure that the IF800 Midweight Pro Damping Kit is installed on the aircraft. If not, please refer to the .

Parts Included In this Kit

  • Small Dovetail Adapter

  • GNSS Cable

  • R3Pro Power Cable

  • GNSS Mount + Antenna

  • SMA Adapters

Attaching the GNSS mount to the IF800

  1. Slide the tabs on the GNSS mount into the slots on the drone

  1. Push down, then thread and fully tighten the thumbscrew to secure the GNSS mount

  1. Snap the GNSS MCX connector to the side of the IF800

  1. Fully attached GNSS unit appears below

Assembling the R3Pro

  1. Cut any tags and open the box

  1. Ensuring connectors are aligned, press the Smart Dovetail Adapter down and thread onto the R3Pro

  1. Insert ZPD connector of the R3Pro Power Cable into the mating connector of the Smart Dovetail Adapter

  1. Insert the silver push-pull connector of the R3Pro Power Cable into the mating connector on the Smart Dovetail Adapter

    1. NOTE: ensure that the red indicator is aligned on both parts

  1. Thread GNSS cable onto the GNSS port

  1. The R3Pro is now assembled and ready for the next steps.

Attaching the R3Pro to the IF800

  1. Before attaching the R3 Pro, release and move the damping plate to position 3 on the payload rails, securing the two clamps

  1. Ensure that the red dovetail clamp is rotated to the released position

  1. Align the Smart Dovetail Adapter with the dovetail cage. Slide into the dovetail cage until it clicks into place

  1. Rotate the red dovetail clamp towards the rear of the aircraft, locking the payload into place. Adjusting the tension via the screw on the clamp may be necessary to ensure a secure connection.

  1. Unthread the SMA cover on the back of the aircraft, and thread the GNSS SMA cable onto the exposed connector

  1. The R3Pro is now ready for flight
