THERMAL MANAGEMENT
DO’S AND DON’TS
When setting up the sensors, make sure that the cables are properly tightened and will not move
during the flight.
The main body of Parrot Sequoia carries a lot of technology. Consequently, it can get hot
when operating. It is totally normal, Parrot Sequoia was designed to be integrated in a
drone and cooled down during a flight.
If integrated on a different platform (tractor, robot, mower …), the same air flow attention
should be taken in consideration. On big and slow platforms, the air flow can be improved
by a small cooling fan.
When on a desk, the Parrot Sequoia has to be placed on its side with a small cooling fan
on the edge and not on the back heat sink.
When on a drone, the integration should facilitate air flow
on its back heat sink to cool down during the flight.
Therefore, Parrot does not recommend blocking the
radiator at the back of the Parrot Sequoia unless a
thermal paste is used and the heat is properly channelled.
To ensure high-precision results, Parrot recommends to take o the protective lens before the flight.
If a connection loss appears between the multispectral sensor and the Sunshine sensor,
follow these steps:
• Make sure that the minimal stress is applied on the USB connectors.
• Use KF F2 or an equivalent product to clean the connectors
Do not use adhesives such as hot glue or cyanoacrylate adhesives on the camera.
Do not apply stress on the cables and connectors.
