AGRAS T20 User ManualRoute, A-B Route, Manual, and Manual Plus. DJI Agras app automatically produces flight routes based on your planned fields. To start, simply select the field from the field list. Plan a field by walking with the remote controller, an RTK Dongle, an RTK handheld mapping device, or by flying the aircraft to waypoints, according to the application scenarios. In scenarios with complicated terrain, use the Phantom 4 RTK and DJI Terra to plan 3D flight routes, and import the routes to DJI Agras for operation. In A-B Route operation mode, the aircraft travels along a planned route and sprays its liquid payload. Users can set the line spacing, flying speed, and other parameters. In Manual operation mode, users can start and stop spraying manually and also adjust the spray rate. In Manual Plus operation mode, the flight speed is restricted and the heading is locked. Except for the heading, users can control the movement of the aircraft via the control sticks. Press button C1 or C2 on the remote controller or the corresponding button in the app and the aircraft will fly one line spacing to the left or right. Note that button C1 and button C2 are customizable in the app. The T20 also includes the Operation Resumption function. When pausing the operation in Route or A-B Route operation mode, Operation Resumption records a breakpoint for the aircraft. Users can resume from the breakpoint when continuing the operation. The omnidirectional digital radar works automatically in Route, A-B Route, and Manual Plus operation modes during both day and night, without being affected by light or dust. Altitude detection and stabilization functions are available in forward, backward, and downward directions while Obstacle Avoidance is available in all horizontal directions. The radar module can detect the angle of a slope and automatically adjust to maintain the same distance with the surface even in mountainous terrain. In Route and A-B Route operation modes, the radar can effectively sense obstacles and plan a flight route to actively circumvent obstacles in all horizontal directions. Note that this is disabled by default. Users can enable it in the app. The remote controller features Multi-Aircraft Control mode (coming soon), which can be used to coordinate the operation of up to five aircraft simultaneously. Turn the aircraft control switch dial on the remote controller to switch control between different aircraft.Preparing the Aircraft

AircraftAircraft ProfileThe T20 uses a dedicated DJI industrial flight controller to provide multiple flight modes and operation modes for various applications. The omnidirectional digital radar provides terrain following to guide the aircraft to maintain a constant distance above crops in specific operation modes and is capable to actively circumvent obstacles in all horizontal directions. Functions such as operation resumption, system data protection, empty tank warning, low battery level warning, and RTH are also available.Flight ModesThe aircraft will fly in P-mode by default. Users can switch between flight modes by toggling the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller when A-mode is enabled in the app. P-mode (Positioning): The aircraft utilizes GNSS or the RTK module for positioning. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning. When the RTK module is enabled and the differential data transmission is strong, it provides centimeter-level positioning. It will revert to A-mode when the GNSS signal is weak or when the compass experiences interference. A-mode (Attitude): GNSS is not used for positioning and the aircraft can only maintain altitude using the barometer. The flight speed in A-mode depends on its surroundings such as the wind speed.Attitude Mode Warning In A-mode, the aircraft cannot position itself and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft. Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difficult. Avoid flying in confined spaces or in areas where the GNSS signal is weak. Otherwise, the aircraft will enter A-mode, leading to potential flight risks. Land the aircraft in a safe place as soon as possible.Operation ModesThe T20 provides Route, A-B Route, Manual, and Manual Plus operation modes. Users can use DJI Agras to switch between A-B Route, Manual, and Manual Plus.Route Operation Mode After the operation area and obstacles have been measured and settings have been configured, DJI Agras uses a built-in intelligent operation planning system to produce a flight route based on the user’s input. Users can invoke an operation after planning a field. The aircraft will begin the operation automatically and follow the planned flight route. Operation resumption, altitude stabilization, obstacle avoidance, and auto obstacle circumvention of the radar module are available in Route operation mode. Use the app to adjust the spray amount and flying speed. Route operation mode is recommended for large spray area.Field Planning DJI Agras supports multiple planning methods for various applications.Walk with RTK There are two methods to plan the field by walking with RTK: RTK Dongle and Handheld RTK. Walking14 © 2020 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Recall the operation in the Executing tag in the operation list. Before using this function, make sure that the option “Continue operation if remote control signal is lost” in Aircraft Settings is enabled.Omnidirectional Digital Radar ProfileThe all-new omnidirectional digital radar works during both day and night, without being affected by light or dust. In an optimal operating environment, the radar module can predict the distance between the aircraft and the vegetation or other surfaces in forward, rear, and downward directions to fly at a constant distance to ensure even spraying and terrain following capability. The omnidirectional digital radar can also detect obstacles 30 m away from the aircraft. The radar module supports obstacle avoidance in all horizontal directions, and effectively senses the environment to help circumvent obstacles in all horizontal directions in both Route and A-B Route operation modes. In addition, the radar module limits the descent speed of the aircraft according to the distance between the aircraft and ground, to provide a smooth landing. The altitude stabilization and obstacle avoidance functions of the radar module are enabled by default, and can be disabled in the app. When enabled, the aircraft flies above the vegetation at a constant spraying distance in Route, A-B Route, and Manual Plus operation modes. In Manual operation mode, the radar module can also measure the spraying distance above the vegetation or other surfaces, but the aircraft is not be able to fly at a constant spraying distance. The obstacle avoidance function can be used in any mode. Auto obstacle circumvention is disabled by default. Users can enable it in the app.23 © 2020 DJI All Rights Reserved.
AGRAS T20 User Manual
Detection RangeThe obstacle detection range of the radar module is 360° in the horizontal direction and ±15° in the vertical direction, as shown in the figure below, and the detection distance is 1.5 – 30 m. Note that the aircraft cannot sense obstacles that are not within the detection range. Fly with caution. For the four gray areas with an angle approx. 10° for each area in the figure, the detection performance of the radar module may be reduced, due to the obstruction of the frame arms and landing gear. Fly with caution.

The effective detection distance varies depending on the size and material of the obstacle. For example, when sensing strong reflective objects such as buildings that have a radar cross section (RCS) of more than -5 dBsm, the effective detection distance is around 20 m. When sensing objects such as power lines that have a RCS of -10 dBsm, the distance is around 15 m. When sensing objects such as dry tree branches that have a RCS of -15 dBsm, the distance is around 10 m. Obstacle sensing may malfunction or be invalid in areas outside of the effective detection distance.
Obstacle Avoidance Function Usage Obstacle avoidance is used in the following two scenarios: 1. The aircraft begins to decelerate when it detects an obstacle is 15 m away and hovers in place when2.5 m away from the obstacle. Users can not accelerate in the direction of the obstacle, but can fly in a direction away from the obstacle. 2. The aircraft immediately brakes and hovers if it detects an obstacle nearby. Users cannot control the aircraft when it is braking. When the aircraft is hovering, it is in Obstacle Avoidance mode. Users can fly in a direction away from the obstacle to exit Obstacle Avoidance mode and regain full control of the aircraft.Altitude Stabilization Function Usage 1. Make sure that you have enabled the altitude stabilization function of the radar module in the app. 2. Enter the desired operation mode, and configure the desired spraying distance. 3. If the operating environment is ideal, the aircraft flies above the vegetation at the preset height.Obstacle Circumvention Function Usage24 © 2020 DJI All Rights Reserved.
AGRAS T20 User Manual1. Make sure that you have enabled the obstacle avoidance function of the radar module in the app, and enable Auto Obstacle Avoidance. Note that Auto Obstacle Avoidance is disabled if Obstacle Avoidance is disabled.2. Perform a Route or A-B Route operation. During auto flight, when obstacles are detected, the aircraft plans a flight route to circumvent the obstacles, and the app shows the real-time obstacle radar map and planned flight route.3. The aircraft flies along the planned flight route to circumvent the obstacles. Once the obstacles are circumvented, the aircraft returns to the operation route.4. The aircraft hovers in place if a prompt is received in the app indicating that the aircraft failed to circumvent the obstacle. Users can manually control the aircraft to avoid the obstacles. Refer to Manual Obstacle Avoidance (p. 22) for more information.Radar Usage NoticeDO NOT touch or let your hands or body come in contact with the metal parts of the radar module when powering on or immediately after flight as they may be hot. In Manual operation mode, users have complete control of the aircraft. Pay attention to the flying speed and direction when operating. Be aware of the surrounding environment and avoid the blind spots of the radar module. Obstacle Avoidance is disabled in Attitude mode. Obstacle Avoidance is adversely affected due to the obstruction of the aircraft body when aircraft pitch exceeds 15°. Slow down and fly with caution. When sensing objects that have a vertical inclination of more than 5° such as an inclined line or inclined utility pole, the sensitivity of the radar module may be reduced. Fly with caution. The radar module enables the aircraft to maintain a fixed distance from vegetation only within its working range. Observe the aircraft’s distance from vegetation at all times. Operate with extra caution when flying over inclined surfaces. Recommended maximum inclination at different aircraft speeds: 10° at 1 m/s, 6° at 3 m/s, and 3° at 5 m/s. Maintain full control of the aircraft at all times and do not rely on the radar module and DJI Agras app. Keep the aircraft within VLOS at all times. Use your discretion to operate the aircraft manually to avoid obstacles.Comply with local radio transmission laws and regulations. The radar module can only function properly in flat landscapes. It cannot function in sloping landscapes with inclinations more than 10° or in landscapes with sudden changes in elevation.The sensitivity of the radar module may be reduced when operating several aircraft within a short distance. Operate with caution. Before use, make sure that the radar module is clean and the outer protective cover is not cracked, chipped, sunken, or misshapen. DO NOT attempt to disassemble any part of the radar module that has already been mounted prior to shipping. The radar module is a precision instrument. DO NOT squeeze, tap, or hit the radar module. Land the aircraft on flat ground to avoid damage to the radar module from raised objects.25 © 2020 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as snow, fog, winds exceeding28 kph (17 mph), and heavy rain (precipitation rate exceeding 25 mm (0.98 in) in 12 hours). 3. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the compassand the GNSS signal. 4. Pay attention to utility poles, power lines, and other obstacles. DO NOT fly near or above water,people, or animals. 5. Maintain VLOS of the aircraft at all times, and avoid flying near obstacles, crowds, animals, andbodies of water.6. Avoid flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations and radio transmission towers.7. The recommended maximum operating altitude is 2 km (6,560 ft) above sea level. DO NOT fly over 3 km (9,842 ft) above sea level.8. Once the operating altitude reaches 1 km (3,280 ft), the payload capacity of the spray tank is reduced by 2 kg. For every additional km, the payload capacity will reduce by a further 2 kg.9. Make sure that there is a strong GNSS signal and the D-RTK antennas are unobstructed during operation.10. DO NOT operate the aircraft indoors.Flight Limits and GEO ZonesUnmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration, and their local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely and legally. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. When operating with a strong GNSS signal, the height and distance limits and GEO zones work together to monitor flight. With a weak GNSS signal, only the height limit prevents the aircraft from going above 30 meters.Maximum Height and Radius Limits Users can change the maximum height and radius limits in the app. Once completed, the aircraft flight is restricted to a cylindrical area that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.
