Warning: Total station is equipped with rangefinders with laser level 3R/IIIa,  which is recognized by the following logo recognition at  the  horizon-axis  locking  knob”  of  the  instrument,  saying “Class  3A  Laser  Product”.  The  Total  Station  is  classified  as Class 3R Laser Product and abides by the class of Laser Product according to IEC Standard Publication 60825-1:2001.   For  Class  3R/IIIa  Laser  Product,  its  emitted  laser  with wavelength between 400nm and 700nm can be at most 5 times of that of Class 2/II. Warnings: Never  star  at  laser  beam  constantly,  it  could  cause permanent eye damage. Precautions: Do  not  see  directly  into  laser  beams  nor  point  laser  to persons.   The  reflected  beam  is  the  necessary  for  the  instrument
  5 measurement signal. Warnings: It’s dangerous to use Class 3R Laser instrument improperly. Precautions: In order  to  avoid  causing  damage,  the  proper precautions should  be  taken  for  you  and  control  well  the  distance  (in accordance  with  the  standard  “IEC60825-1:2001”)  that  may occur hazards. The following is the main part of the explanation of the IEC Standard Publication:   Class  3R  Laser  Products  are  used  in  outdoors  and  on building site (with non-prism measurements). The  personnel  who  is  specially  trained,  qualified  and authenticated are allowed to stall, adjust and operate these laser instruments. b. Set up  corresponding laser warning signs in the use of area range. c. Prevent anyone from looking directly into laser beams or watching the laser beams with optical device. d.  In  order  to  prevent  laser  damage  to  people  ,  the  laser beams should blocked  at  the  end  of  the working route.  In  the limited  area  (★Hazardous  distances)  where  the  laser  beams through  ,the  laser  beams  should  be  terminated  when  there  are some activities. e. the route which laser beans through must be set higher or lower than the sight of people. f.  When  the  instrument  not  in  use,  please  make  it safekeeping and storied. Unauthorized person should not use it. g. To prevent exposure to laser beam accidentally, such as mirrors, metal surfaces, windows, be careful as the flat surface of the mirror and concave mirror.
  6 *The  hazardous  distance  refers  to  the  maximum  distance which is  from beginning of the  laser  beams to  the  laser  beam weaken until it does  not harm people. The built-in rangefinder products  equipped  with  Class  3R/IIIa  laser  whose  hazardous distance  is  1000  meters  (3300feet),  and  in  the  distance,  the strength  weakens  to  a  Class  1  laser  (sightseeing  beam  eyes couldn't hurt).

  1 1. Use of instrument The  total  station  is  such  an  instrument  that  measures  the azimuth  and  distances  to  destination  and  can  calculate  the destination point coordinates automatically. It plays an important role  in  the  economic  construction  and  national  defense construction.  General  Survey,  exploration  and  mining  of minerals, the construction of railways, roads, bridges, irrigation, urban  planning  and  construction  is  driven  by  electronic  total station measurements. In the building of national defense, such as  battlefield  preparations,  harbor,  forts,  airfields,  bases  and military  construction  projects,  and  so  on,  must  be  based  on  a detailed and  accurate geodetic. In recent years, electronic total station is a large precision engineering, shipbuilding and aviation industries  and  other  aspects  of  effective  tools  for  precise positioning and installation. The series total station is equipped with absolute code dial system,  integrated-circuit-control-board  ranging  item  and microcomputer for measurements of angle and distance and for calculation, display, depositing and etc. It can exhibit horizontal and  vertical  angle,  slope  and  horizontal  distance  and  altitude difference simultaneously. Furthermore, it can be set to measure under  different  mode  (e.g.  Angle  mode,  Distance  mode).It  is even designed for you specializing in construction projects with non-prism  ranging.  The  non-prism  ranging  can  be comprehensively  used  in  measuring  three-dimensional coordinates,  position  determination,  remote  elevation measurement  (REM),  verticality,  pipeline  positioning, cross-section  measurement  etc.  It  also  meets  requirements  for trigonometrical control survey, topographic survey, cadastre and real estate survey.

  18 Repeat  the  steps  above  until  the  instrument  aims  at  the station precisely. 4.3 Loading and unloading of battery The information of the battery   --Full battery, operation is available. --Just appearing this information which means the battery can support the instrument for another 4 hours. --The battery is lower, and it’s better to replace. --Measurement is impossible, and it’s necessary to replace and recharge battery. Notes: ◆The  working  time  of  battery  will  be  effected  by  many factors,  such  as  ambient  temperature,  recharging  time, recharging  and  discharging  times.  For  safety,  we  suggest  you recharge the battery full or prepare several full batteries before operation. ◆The battery  symbol  only  indicates  power  capability  for current measurement mode. The power consumption in distance measurement mode is more than in angle mode, if the instrument enters  into  distance  measurement  mode  from  angle  mode,  the power maybe auto-off because of lower battery. Notes for loading/ unloading batteries: ▲You should switch off the instrument before unload the battery.   Notes for charging:   ▲Though  the  charger  is  designed  with  overcharge protection  circuit,  one  must  unplug  the  charger  after  finished charging. ▲Suitable temperature range for charging is between -45℃and +45℃. Charging process may be abnormal if being over the
  19 temperature range. ▲A battery can be recharged for 300-500 times.   ▲A monthly recharging is required if the instrument is not used for a long time. 4.4 Reflecting Prism. When  measuring  distance  with  prism  mode,  a  reflecting prism must be set at the target site. You can connect the prism to the base, and then connect the base onto the tripod .you can also set  the  prism  onto  the  centering  rod.  There  are  single-prism group and three prism group available on the market, so you can select them according to your requirements. 4.5 Loading and unloading of the pedestal   Unloading Unload the base by loosening the locking screw on the base with  a  screw  driver  and  anti-clockwise  turn  the  screw  around 180°. Loading   Put  the  three  fixed  feet  of  the  instrument  into  the corresponding  holes  to  make the  instrument  on  the  base. Turn the clamping screw clockwise 180° to lock the instrument. Then tighten the screw with a screw driver.   4.6  Adjusting  eyepiece  lens  of  the  telescope  and aiming the target. How to aim at targets?(only for reference) 1) Aim at the bright sky with the telescope and adjust the eyepiece to focus until a sharp image of the cross wire forms; 2)  Aim  at  the  target  with  the  cross  center  in  the  coarse sighting device on the top of the lens. Your eyes should keep a
  20 proper distance (about 200mm) away from the sighting device; 3) Obtain a sharp image of the target on the reticule with the  focusing  screw.  If  optical  parallax  appears  when  angle  of view changed, the focus or the diopter of the eyepiece may be unadjusted.  For  precision  concerns,  please  adjust  the  eyepiece focus to eliminate the optical parallax carefully. 4.7 Entering letters and numbers This series total station has been equipped the key [Mode], which  can  be  convenient  to  switch  the  input  mode  between letters and numbers. ● Input letters Example 1: Take inputting code for example, which needs to input “Co1” in the edit box 1) Press [Mode] to switch to the mode of inputting letters.

  113 13. Adjustments and Corrections The  instrument  is  under  strict  test  and  calibration,  the quality  is  accord  with  the  standard  demand.  But  after  a long-distance transportation and environment change, the small change of instrument parameter is inevitable. Therefore, the new purchased instruments should be checked and calibrated before surveying to ensure the precision. 13.1 Tubular Level Check See reference in using tubular level to level the instrument precisely. Calibration 1. In the calibration, if the level bubble diverges from the center,  use  the  foot  spiral  which  parallels  the  leveling  tube  to adjust to make the bubble move half of the distance to the center. For  the  remaining,  use  the  calibration  needle  to  turn  the  level calibration screw (in  the  right  of  the  water-level) to adjust the bubble to the center; 2.  Turn  the  instrument  180°  to  check  that  whether  the bubble is in the center. If the bubble is not centered, repeat step 1 until the bubble is in center; 3. Turn the instrument 90° and use the third foot screw to adjust the bubble to the center; 4.  Repeat  the  steps  of  checkout  and  calibration  until  the bubble in the center in every direction. 13.2 Circular Level Check After the level tube is calibrated correct, if the circular level
  114 bubble also in center, so there is no need to calibrate. Calibration If the bubbles is not in the center, use the correction needle or six angle wrench to adjust the correction screw which under the bubble to make the bubble to the center. For calibration, you shall first loosen the calibration screw (1 or 2) which opposite to the  direction  of  the  bubble  offset,  then  tighten  the  other correction screw in the offset direction to make the bubble in the center.  When  the  bubble  is  in  center,  make  sure  the  fastening force of the   Three calibration screws are consistent. 13.3 Reticle of the telescope Check 1. Aim at a target A  from the telescope after leveling the instrument  the  cross  wire  on  the  reticle.  Lock  the  instrument with vertical and horizontal locking knob after aiming at A. 2. Rotate the vertical slow motion knob, move A point to the edge of the field of view (A 'points); If point “A” moves along the vertical line of the crosshair, but  is  still  in  the  vertical line  as  the  left  picture,  the  crosshair doesn't need to calibrate. If point “A”deviate from vertical line center,  as  the  right  picture,  the  crosshair  is  slant,  so  need  to calibrate the reticle; 88AA′88AA′
  115 Calibration 1.  First,  take  down  the  reticle  cover  between  telescope eyepiece and focusing hand-wheel, and you can  see four fixed screw of the reticle bed (sees attached figure); 2. Unscrew the three fixed screw evenly with screwdriver, rotate the reticle around collimation axis, to make A point on the vertical line of the reticle; 3. Tighten the screw evenly, test the calibration results with the above methods; 4. Cover the reticle. Fixing screwEyepiece 13.4 The Perpendicularity of Collimation axis and Cross axis (2C) Check 1. Set  a target A in about 100m away,  and make sure the vertical  angle  of  the  target  is  within  ±3°.Precisely  level  the instrument and switch on it; 2. Make the telescope focused on target A in face left, and read the horizontal angle e.g. HA (L)=10°13′10″; 3.  Loosen  the  vertical  and  horizontal  brake  hand-wheel, turn the telescope, rotate the alidade to face right and focus on the same target A. Before aiming please tighten the horizontal
  116 and vertical brake hand-wheel and read the horizontal angle; e.g. HA (R)=190°13′40″ 4. If 2C=L-(R±180°)=-30″≥±20″, the instrument need to be calibrated. Calibration 1.Use  the  horizontal  slow  motion  knob  to  adjust  the horizontal angle to the right reading which has eliminated the C. R + C = 190°13 '40 "-15 "= 190°13' 25"; 2.Take  down  the  reticle  bed  cover  between  the  telescope eyepiece and focusing hand-wheel, adjust the calibration screw of the crosshair on the left and right. First, loosen the screw on one  side,  and  screw up  the screw on  the  other  side,  move the reticle and focus on target A; 3. Repeat the test steps, calibrate it to | 2 C | < 10; 4. Tighten the calibration screws, put the protective cover back. Cross wire correction screwEyepiece Note: Check the photoelectric coaxiality after calibrating. 13.5  Vertical  plate  index  zero  automatic compensation
  117 Checkout 1. After Setting up  and leveling the instrument,  make the direction of the  telescope  consistent with the  line  between  the center of the instrument and any of the foot screw; 2. The vertical plate index change to zero after switching on Tighten the vertical brake hand-wheel and the instrument display the current telescope vertical Angle; 3.  Screw  the  leveling  screw  towards  one  direction  for circumferential  distance  around  10mm,  the  vertical  angle displayed  will  disappear  through  the  process  and  ‘Tilt  over!’ appears  to  the  column.  It  indicates  that  the  inclination  of  the instrument is over 3′, which is over the range the instrument was designed to compensate. Screw the leveling screw back towards the opposite direction, the vertical angle re-appears on the screen. It  shows  that  the  tilt  works  well  now.  Users  may  observe  the change of the readout about the critical point. Slowly rotate feet X to 10 mm around in one direction, the display  of  the  vertical  angle  will  change  from  changing  until disappear to appear "Tilt over!" correspondingly , it indicate that the dip Angle of the vertical axis is bigger than 3 ', beyond the range of vertical plate compensator design . When rotating the feet  spiral  recovery  in  the  opposite  direction,  the  instrument shows  vertical  Angle  again,  if  you  can  see  the  change  when testing it again and again in critical positions, it says that vertical plate compensator works normally. Calibration When  finding  the  tilt  compensator  abnormal,  please  send the instrument back to factories for checking.
  118 13.6 Vertical index error (angle i) and set vertical index 0 Please first adjust finely the reticule of the telescope and the compensator before calibrating and checking index error. Check 1. Turn on the instrument after placing and leveling it, and focus the telescope on a clear goals .A to get the face left reading of vertical Angle L; 2. Turn the telescope around and aim at the same target A and get the face right reading of vertical Angle R; 3. Assume that the zenith of the vertical angle is 0°, then angle i= (L+R-180°)/2 or Angle i= (L+R-540°)/2; 4.  If  |  i  |≥10",  may  be  you  need  reset  the  zero  value  of vertical index; 5. For the following steps, see reference in chapter 11.6.1. Note:    Repeat the checkout steps to retest the index error again (i Angle). If the index error still cannot accordance with requirements , it should check the three steps of calibration index zero  setting  (in  the  course  of  zero  setting  ,the  vertical  angle showed is not compensated and corrected, it is just for reference) to see whether it is incorrect, whether the focusing of target is correct, reset according to the requirements; 6. If the index error does not meet requirements at all, you may have to send the instrument back to factories for checking. 13.7 Centering device Check Place the instrument onto the tripod and draw a cross on a white  paper,  place  the  paper  with  a  cross  on  the  ground  right below the instrument; 2. Adjust the focal length of the optical plummet (for the
  119 optical plummet) or press key[★] to switch on laser plummet, move the white paper to make the cross in the center in the field of view (or laser flare); 3.  Turn  the  feet  screw,  make  the  center  mark  of  the plummet coincide with the cross center; 4.  Rotate  alidade,  every  turn  of  90°,  observe  the  contact ratio of the optical plummet and cross center; 5.  When  rotate  the  alidade,  the  center  of  the  optical plummet always coincide with the cross center, there is no need to  calibrate.  Otherwise  you  should  calibrate  as  the  following methods. Calibration 1. Take down the screw cover between the optical plummet eyepiece and the focusing hand-wheel; 2.  Fix  the  white  paper  with  a  cross,  and  mark the  points when the instrument rotates 90°, as the figure shows A, B, C, D points; 3. Connect the diagonal points A、C and B、D with a straight line, the intersection name of the two line is point O; 4. Use the calibration needle to adjust the four calibration screw,  to  make the  center  mark of  the  plummet coincide with point O; Cross center on the groundACB0
  120 5. Repeat step 4, check and calibrate until it meet the requirements; 6. With the laser plummet, unbolt the laser cover, using 1 # hex wrench to adjust the three screws, fasten one side and loosen the other side, and adjust the laser flare to point O; 7. Put the cover back in place. 13.8 Addictive constant (K) The  instrument  constant  is  inspected  when  it  out,  and correct it inside the machine, make K = 0. Instrument constant change rarely, but we suggest that check it this way for one or two  times  each  year.  The  checkout  should  be  done  in  the standard baseline, or you can take the following simple method. Checkout 1. Choose a flat field A to set up and level the instrument , mark three points A、B、C in the same line ,their interval is 50m, and set up the reflection prism accurately; 2. After setting the temperature and atmospheric pressure of the  instrument,  measure  the  horizontal  distance  of  ‘A  B’  and ‘ AC’ accurately; 3.  Place  the  instrument  at  point  B  then  centering  it accurately to measure the horizontal distance of BC precisely; 4.  Obtain  the  distance  measurement  constant  of  the instrument: K= AC-(AB+BC); K should be close to zero, if | K | > 5 mm,it should be send to standard baseline field for strict checking. You can calibrate it based on the checking value. Calibration If it turns out the instrument constant does not close to 0 but changing after strict inspection, you need to calibrate it,and set the instrument additive constant according to the comprehensive
  121 constant  K  value.  Such  as:  the  K  has  been  measured  as  ‘-5’ according  to  the  method  above,  and  the  original  instrument constant  is  ‘-20’,  so  the  new  value  should  be  set  as  ‘-20-(5) =-15’; Input ‘-15’ through "menu-> 6->2" and then confirm. Use the vertical line of the reticle to orientate, make A, B and C at the same line accurately. There must be a clear mark for point B on the ground to focus. Whether the prism center of the point B coincide with the instrument center is the guarantee of checking the accuracy, so, you have better use tripod and all-purpose tribrach, for example, if you change the three-jaw type prism connector with tribrach, keep the tripod and tribrach stable, just change the prism and the part above the tribrach of instrument, and it can reduce the error of misalignment 13.9  The  parallelism  of  collimation  axis  and photoelectricity axis Checkout 1.  Place  a  reflector  prism  50  meters  away  from  the instrument; 2.  Focus  on  the  reflecting  prism  center  with  telescope crosshair accurately; 3.  Check  whether  the  telescope  crosshair  center  coincide with the emission photoelectricity axis center, if they coincide on the whole we can say it qualified; Calibration If  the  telescope  crosshair  center  deviates  from  emission photoelectricity axis center largely, send it to professional repair and calibration department.
  122 13.10 Non-prism ranging The red laser beam is coaxial with the telescope, used for no prism ranging, and it is sent by telescope. If the instrument has been calibrated, red laser beams will coincide with the line of sight. The external influence such as the vibration, the larger temperature change and other factors may make laser beam and viewing not overlap. Before  precise  ranging,  you  should  check  whether  the direction of the laser beam is coaxial. Otherwise, it could lead to inaccuracy. Warning: Looking straightly at the laser is dangerous. Prevention: Don't look laser beams directly, or focus on others.   Checkout: Put  the  gray  side  of  the  reflector  towards the  instrument, and  put  it  5  meters  and  20  meters  away.  Start  laser  direction function. Focus on the reflector center by the telescope crosshair center, and check the position of the red laser point. Generally speaking,  the  telescope  is  equipped  with  special  filter,  human eyes can′t see laser point through the telescope, you can see the offset  between  the  red  laser  point  and  the  reflector  crosshair center,  you can  observe this above the telescope or at the side face of reflector. If laser center coincide with the crosshair center, it  indicates  that  the  adjustment  meet  required  accuracy.  If  the offset between the point position and the mark of crosshair is out of  limit, it  will  need  to be sent to  professional department  for adjustment. If the reflector is too bright under the illumination of laser beams, the grey side can be replaced by the white side.
