Technical FAQ

Yes. The VLN is built for rugged industrial use and can be operated in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The system carries an IP55/IP65 environmental rating to protect internal avionics and high-torque motors.

No. Per safety protocols, the operator must maintain direct Line-of-Sight (LoS) with the unit. The maximum reliable operational range under LoS conditions is 182 metres.

Yes. Provided the rigging complies with the WLL, the VLN can remain in the lift string. Use the control pendant to place the system in 'Standby Mode' to cease active thrust.

Yes. The system supports Dual Pendant configurations for "pitch and catch" operations, allowing seamless transfer between riggers for the best visual vantage point.

The VLN features an automatic fail-safe. If the RF link is severed, the system enters Standby Mode and ceases active torque, allowing the load to behave as a standard passive lift.

A "WARN" status indicates that wind forces are equal to or exceeding the system's maximum torque capacity. The VLN will hold 100% counter-torque to maintain heading, but active rotation speed may be limited.

The LiFePO4 battery system provides up to 12 hours of operation. Battery longevity is dependent on duty cycle and the intensity of wind resistance encountered.

A full recharge cycle takes 6 to 8 hours. Requires a 1500W output. In Australia, use a standard 240V AC outlet. Extension leads should be kept under 30 metres.

The pendant uses a removable, rechargeable battery pack. These are swapped and charged via the dedicated desktop charging station provided in the system kit.
