Booster Package and Antenna Installation

If your DeltaQuad Pro #VIEW comes with the Booster Package you can follow these instructions for installation.

The DeltaQuad booster package will increase the operational range of the DeltaQuad Controller up to 50 km. The package consists of an easy-to-remove panel antenna, an 8-watt ground booster with a power bank, and a 3-watt booster inside the UAV.

The DeltaQuad Controller will also include the standard antennas for omnidirectional use of up to 30 km.

The following video shows the installation of the booster antenna on the DeltaQuad Controller.

How to install the Booster Antenna on the DeltaQuad Controller.

Step 1 - Make sure the DeltaQuad Controller is turned off!

NOTE: Before detaching the omnidirectional antennas, please make sure that your DeltaQuad Controller is turned off!

Having the DeltaQuad Controller powered on without the antennas installed will cause damage to the radio module. This will render your controller unusable.

Step 2 - For the installation, you need (from left to right).

1. Booster for the DeltaQuad Controller

2. DeltaQuad Controller

3. Open-end wrench

4. Power bank

5. Power cable

Step 3 - Remove the two omnidirectional antennas at the top of the controller by turning them at the base of the antenna counterclockwise.

Step 4 - Lay the booster face down on a flat surface.

Step 5 - Connect the copper-colored SMA cable to the right SMA antenna connection of the controller.

Step 6 - Slide the handle of the controller into the dedicated holding mechanism on the booster.

Step 7 - Connect the left black-colored SMA cable to the left SMA antenna connection of the controller and tighten it with the open-end wrench.

You now installed the booster antenna on the DeltaQuad Controller.

NOTE: To work properly, the booster antenna needs to be powered with the included power bank.

Step 9 - Connect the cable of the power bank to the top side of the booster.

Step 10 - Connect the other side of the cable to the power bank and switch it on.

Step 11 - When turned on the LED at the top of the booster will be red. When connected to the DeltaQuad it will be green.

NOTE: For the disassembly, please follow the steps in reverse order.

Always make sure that the DeltaQuad Controller is turned off when disconnecting the antennas or antenna cables.

When detaching the booster antenna, push the levers of the closing mechanism away from the DeltaQuad Controller. By doing so, the booster antenna will slide off the handle by itself.

During this process, hold the booster antenna at all times as the copper-colored SMA cable is still connected to the DeltaQuad Controller. Any strain on this cable and its connectors can damage the hardware.
