Interface Versions

• SGU-HS1-M40: standard interface; this listing describes the standard-interface model.
• SGU-HS1-M40-ZY: version designed for the Ziyan F15, listed separately in the manual. Confirm availability and compatibility before ordering.

The manual’s 30-pin wiring definitions apply only to the standard-interface SGU-HS1-M40. The ZY version requires the corresponding aircraft interface documentation.

30-Pin Signal Wiring Table

For the standard-interface SGU-HS1-M40 only. For SGU-HS1-M40-ZY, refer to the Ziyan aircraft interface documentation. Numbers correspond to the labels on the cable harness. Signal identifiers are retained exactly as printed in the manual.

Package Contents — Standard Interface

• 1 × SGU-HS1-M40 gimbal payload
• 1 × vibration-damping mount with quick-release mechanism, included only with the standard-interface version
• 1 × protective carrying case

Integration and Operation

Confirm aircraft compatibility, mounting interface and input voltage with the supplier before installation or applying power. Communication protocol documentation and host-computer tools are available from the supplier on request. Specifications are supplied by the manufacturer.

Operating Temperature Note

The technical specification lists −20°C to +60°C, while the pre-use instructions specify −20°C to +55°C. Confirm the applicable limit with the manufacturer before operation above +55°C.

Laser Safety and Care

Do not look directly into the laser when ranging is enabled. Follow the supplied operating instructions. The manual prohibits use in rain, snow and sandstorms. Do not immerse or directly rinse the equipment. Power down before removing the payload, clean the optical surfaces with suitable lens-cleaning materials and store the unit securely in its case.
