FAQs

The XAG drones on their own do not have the ability to identify and spray weeds. However, with the use of other mapping software such as the XAG RealTerra or Pix4D, it is easy to produce a high-definition map of an area then mark the weed affected zones. This map can then be easily transferred to the XAG system to act as a spot spraying tool.

For a tutorial and deeper explanation on this please see: Green on Brown Spot Spraying - Mapping fallow weeds with PIX4Dfields

The drone batteries last around 25 minutes with an empty payload, and 7 minutes with a full payload. However this is not relevant in most situations. The more important piece of information here is that the P100 Pro in most situations will be able to empty the entirety of its payload during one flight and then return home. 

Limiting factors here may include; Hilly Terrain, Spot Spraying and Long Travel time to and from the field and very low spray/spread rates. Please refer to the user manual for more specific information.

Yes - but you will require the RealTerra HD Mapping Payload to create High Definition Maps. This is an additionally purchased payload.

The P100 Pro RevoSpray now comes standard with a 60L spray tank. (Upgrade Kit)

The P100 Pro RevoCast is an 80L tank that can carry 60kg.

Yes. Swarm operations, referring to multiple drones being flown concurrently by a single remote pilot, require specific approvals from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). This includes obtaining a remote pilot licence (RePL), a remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate (ReOC), and an approval to operate multiple drones simultaneously. Changes to manuals and a flight test is needed.

For more information on this please see: Swarm Operations Approvals

The warranty on most of the P100 Pro parts and batteries is 1 year. For a more detailed look at the warranty terms and conditions, please see the Warranty Period Document under the P100 Pro Downloads Section. 

The P100 Pro can fly at 13.8m per second. This equals to 49.68km per hour.

In terms of spraying and spreading – in optimal conditions at a 30L per ha rate the P100 Pro will be able to cover 20ha per hour.

Yes, the P100 Pro has a droplet size range of 60µm - 500µm. The P100 Pro can spray as low as 1L per ha and all the way up to 750L per ha. These parameters are easily adjustable within the XAG One App.

The P100 Pro is completely automated during a pre mapped flight - however we always recommend that you are constantly watching the drone to avoid collisions and potential emergencies of people or animals entering the spray field.

The P100 Pro will return home on its own when it has either run out of chemical or its battery is low.

You can of course fly and spray manually with the P100 Pro as well.

There are multiple ways to map your fields with the P100 Pro.

First of all, you can map via a Google Maps image using your finger to mark boundaries and obstacles within the XAG ONE app.

Secondly, you can map using the drone itself to plot points for boundaries and obstacles using the downward facing camera on the P100 Pro.

Thirdly, you can map using the VRTK Function on the ARC3 controller, which allows you to plot points for boundaries and obstacles with the actual controller. 

And lastly you can map over the top of pre-existing maps you may already have for your area by uploading them to your XAG ONE App, allowing you to then build your boundary and obstacles around the already created map.

All of your map fields can be saved for later use.

Telstra operates using three different Access Point Names (APNs), which may vary depending on your geographic location. If your ARC3 Pro is not connecting to the internet despite having a Telstra SIM card installed, it is likely due to incorrect or unconfigured APN settings.

If your battery encounters any of the above scenarios, it indicates that the battery may be a complex usage issue and should be returned to our warehouse for diagnosis and troubleshooting.

Please follow the Return Guide page to start an after-sales enquiries.

If your charger is not charging the batteries, the issue may be related to one of three components: the power source (e.g., wall outlet or generator), the battery, or the charger itself. Please follow the steps below to identify the cause:

1. Check the Power Source: Ensure that the power source delivers stable and sufficient power to the charger. Refer to the Battery S-Charger CM13600 user manual for the required power specifications, for more details please visit Download Center - Battery System.
   
   Try using an alternative power outlet or generator to rule out any fluctuations or supply issues.
   ‍
2. Test the Batteries: Use a different charger to attempt charging the same batteries:
   ‍
   - If the alternate charger is also unable to charge the batteries, the batteries themselves are likely faulty.
   ‍
   - If the alternate charger charges the batteries successfully, the original charger is likely the source of the issue.
   ‍
3. Next Steps: If the issue appears to be with the charger or battery, it needs to be returned to our warehouse for further inspection, please refer to the Return Guide to initiate an after-sales service request.

If the drone hasn't been used for a while, it may need to be paired again. Follow these steps to re-establish the connection:

Devices you will need:

1. ARC3 Pro
   ‍
2. Android Smart Phone (Android 10 and above）
   ‍
3. SIM card
   ‍
4. P100 Pro drone

Step-by-step Pairing Instructions:

1. Insert the SIM card into your ARC3 Pro > Turn on the controller and wait for it to be initialized > On your Android phone, connect to the ARC3 Pro’s Wi-Fi.
   ‍
2. Turn on the drone and wait for it to be initialized > then quickly press the battery power button 3 times, double beeping will be heard >Wait for the drone’s ESC light to start flashing yellow.
   ‍
3. Long press the ARC3 Pro power button for 10 seconds until you hear a beep — this puts the controller into pairing mode (you’ll see the third indicator light start flashing).
   ‍
4. When you hear another beep, pairing has been successful.
   ‍
5. Connect Android phone to the ARC3 Pro’s WIFI again when it is available.
   ‍
6. Navigate to XAG One APP > Me > Device Page > P100 Pro device details page > General – Remote Control Bound > Select ARC3 Pro to confirm the binding.
   ‍
7. Connection Verification: Navigate to General page to verify that the remote controller status is “Connected”. Additionally, ensure the third indicator from the left on the ARC3 Pro Remote Controller is solid green, confirming successful connectivity.
