The tethered SV-T30 supports extended airborne missions with communications, lighting, observation and specialist payloads. Ground power, tether and aircraft are configured together for the task.
This version combines an eight-motor aircraft, 500 V DC ground power and an automatic reel for sustained operation over a fixed area. The listed 100 m is cable length: usable height must allow for tether angle, sag, ground routing and safety margin.
Final configuration depends on operating conditions and the agreed specification.
A tethered system keeps its main power equipment on the ground and supplies the aircraft through a cable. It can support assessment of sustained lighting, observation and communications over a fixed area. The ground station, airborne power unit, backup supply, tether and reel must be matched as one system.
Confirm payload mass and power, station-keeping time, target height and site supply. Then assess tether mass, voltage drop and wind loading. Cable length is not usable vertical height: angle, sag, ground routing and obstacles consume length. Ground-station ratings from different versions are not interchangeable.
Before deployment, inspect connector locks, cable insulation, strain relief, cooling and protective grounding. Make connections with power isolated. Follow the fitted controller’s instructions for startup, voltage and backup power. Controlled commissioning should verify reel operation and responses to communication or primary-power loss.
Monitor voltage, current, payout and reel behavior during operation; keep the tether clear of people and obstacles. Afterwards inspect wear, bends, connectors and abnormal heating. Return-to-home or landing behavior must suit the tethered operating envelope and be validated on the fitted system, rather than copied from free flight.
Geometry follows the source. Verify the actual model and approved drawing before installation.
Final configuration depends on operating conditions and the agreed specification.

SV TECH / PRODUCT ENGINEERING
Existing selection guides are retained; complete operating chapters are added. Chinese and English controller procedures differ; use the procedure confirmed for the fitted controller.
Chinese rated thrust of 16 kg and English maximum thrust of 25 kg are different definitions, not one common rating.
A tethered mission keeps the primary energy source on the ground and supplies the aircraft through a cable. Onboard backup power supports controlled response to a supply interruption. Extended airborne operation must be validated for the complete configuration.
The automatic reel manages cable as mission height and relative position change. It works with the aircraft, power supply and ground operation to limit slack while controlling cable loading.
SV Tech’s product material presents cleaning and spraying as tethered-platform applications. This is a typical application plan covering site survey, mission equipment and water/material supply.
