Product Profile
Introduction / general
Stryder drones are professionally designed and built to perform in a demanding and ever
changing industrial market.
For flight controls see “Manual control of drone with transmitter” in this manual.
The Stryder MK III airframe is a quad rotor (4 rotor drone). The Stryder drone is not permitted to
fly any other payloads than the supplied and approved payloads.
Maximum speed ascending and descending rates are pre-programmed and limited by software
on the Stryder drone. Modification of these and any other parameters is strictly prohibited.
Inside all Stryder drones is an industrial flight controller as well as a communication system. All
broadcasting components fall under CSA standards for broadcasting.
Stryder is powered by intelligent flight batteries, these batteries give warning for overheating,
over cooling, over charging and battery levels. The smart batteries also self-discharge when left
too long.
The Stryder MK III airframe is a folding design with fixed landing gear. Ensure care is taken
when folding the arms that no wires are pinched. The cables are protected with mesh such that
they should easily move within the arm when folded.
There is an hour meter installed on all Stryder drones. The customer must return the drone for
regular maintenance performed by a certified technician at a regular 50 hour intervals.
Do not exceed maximum payload capacity. Only use the supplied payloads with recommended
batteries.
Do not go near, or touch, the propellers or motors while they are spinning as this will cause
serious injuries.
Disconnect the battery during transport and at any time when the drone is not in use for safety.
Do not transport the drone with a battery mounted in the tray this includes inside a
vehicle or on foot.
5
The drone should be moved by hand without the battery installed by standing at the rear of the
drone and grasping the rear left boom and front right boom on the MK III or grasping the front
and rear of the MK I drone.
Only use Epoc Unmanned Inc. manufactured or recommended parts.
If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact your reseller or Epoc
Unmanned inc. directly.

Warnings
Never fly over people. Drones are complex mechanical pieces of equipment that can fail. Never
fly or plan a flight directly over people. Never stand directly under a drone while it is flying in any
state including take-off, landing or horizontal flight.
Rotating propellers can cause serious injury and damage. Fly with caution at all times. Respect
specified setbacks during take off and landings of 30 feet at all times.
Safety gloves and CSA approved safety glasses to be worn at all times.
Package contents
The Stryder MK I and MK III drones are supplied with the following as standard
● Drone c/w custom case and foam insert
● CGS case c/w laptop, transmitter, mast, tool set
The Stryder drones come completely assembled and tested. There is no need for any
assembly. Adjusting or tightening propellers / bolts / nuts may cause malfunction in flight. If paint
mark indicates that movement or loosening has occurred contact the reseller immediately.
Inspect the drone for damages during shipping by doing the following:
● Grab each motor assembly and twist from left to right. It should not move.
● Inspect the propellers for cracks, chips, warpage or signs of wear.
● Inspect the propeller hubs (hinge point near the center of the motor) to see if the bolt has
turned. There are paint marks to indicate any movement.
● Inspect the drone for evidence of damage during transport.

Modes
The Stryder drone transmitter has three modes for flight by default. The modes are controlled by
SF and SC switches as shown above.
GPS = Position hold mode. In this mode the drone will hold its current GPS position and
elevation when the user gives no input to the transmitter sticks. This mode is used to fly
manually. This is done with the SF switch pushed away from the pilot. Confirmation of this can
be seen on the GCS heads up display.
Auto = Autonomous mode. In this mode the drone will perform automated tasks given to it by
apps from the smart device. This is controlled by the SF switch in the position toward the pilot.
This mode should only be selected after a hover test showing that the drone is holding
position correctly and the drone is above 30m.
RTL = Return to Launch. When toggled in the “down position” the drone will return to it’s launch
position and land. This is done with the SC switch. Manual corrections can be made with the
transmitter to adjust where the drone will land.
Timer = The timer automatically starts when the drone is put into Auto mode. This can be reset
by the SH switch.
