When you take more than one measurement to the same point and choose to

ST records
ST (station) records contain ST, HI, BS, and AZ fields.
Press [DSP] to switch between the first screen (showing ST, HI, BS, and AZ) and the
second screen (showing X, Y, Z, PT, and CD).
When you assign a new ST point name in MENU > Stn Setup > Quick, the

SO records
SO records are stakeout shots. These are shots recorded in stakeout functions.
When the Store DB setting is set to RAW+XYZ, press [DSP] to switch between the first
screen (showing HA, VA, SD, PT, and HT), the second screen (showing X, Y, Z, PT,

The dX, dY, and dZ fields store the difference between the stakeout shot’s actual
position and its planned position. These fields are downloaded as comment records in
Nikon RAW format.
CO records
A CO record is a comment added to the job from the system.
For example, when you change the Stn-Z using the
Remote Benchmark function, or you reset the
horizontal angle using the BSCheck function, the
system writes a comment record.
When you input a Stn-XYZ by Base-XYZ function, the
recorded station appears as a comment record.

When you complete a station setup, a SY record is
stored. This record contains the Temperature, Pressure,

Adjusting the Electronic Level
Adjustment of the electronic level is done by Zero point errors of vertical scale and
horizontal angle corrections. For detailed instruction, please see page 137.
Checking and Adjusting the Circular Level
Once you have checked and adjusted the electronic
level, check the circular level.
If the bubble is not in the center of the level, use the
adjusting pin to rotate the three adjustment screws
of either circular level on the instrument main body
or tribrach until the bubble is centered.
Checking and Adjusting the Optical/Laser Plummet
The optical axis of the plummet must be aligned with the vertical axis of the
instrument.
To check and adjust the optical/laser plummet:
1.
Place the instrument on the tripod. You do not have to level the instrument.
2.
Place a thick sheet of paper marked with an X on
the ground below the instrument.
While you are looking through the optical
plummet, adjust the leveling screws until the
image of the X is in the center of the reticle
mark .
For laser plummet, adjust the laser pointer to the
X.
3.
Rotate the alidade 180°.
If the marked image is in the same position in the
center of the reticle mark, no adjustment is
required
For laser plummet, if the laser pointer is on the X,
no adjustment is required.

If the image or laser pointer is not in the same
position, adjust the optical or laser plummet:

P is the center point of the line
connecting the X and the center of the

Rotate the instrument 180° and flip the telescope to the Face-2 position.
7.
Read the vertical angle from the VA2 field.
8.
Add the two vertical angles together, VA1 + VA2.
–
No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA
zero setting) is set to Zenith, and VA1 + VA2 equals 360°.
–
No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA
zero setting) is set to Horizon, and VA1 + VA2 is either 180° or 540°.
–
An adjustment is required if VA1 + VA2 is not one of the values listed
above.
Note – The difference between the vertical angle reading the relevant angle (either

Checking and Adjustment
Checking the Instrument Constant
The instrument constant is a numerical value used to automatically correct for the
displacement between the mechanical and electrical centers when measuring
distances. The instrument constant is set by the manufacturer before the instrument is
shipped. However, to ensure the highest operational accuracy, we recommend that
you check the instrument constant several times a year.
To check the instrument constant, you can either compare a correctly measured base
line with the distance measured by the EDM, or follow the procedure below.
About 100 m
To check the instrument constant:
1.
Set up the instrument at Point P, in as flat an area as possible.
2.
Set up a reflector prism at Point Q, 100 m away from Point P. Make sure that
you take the prism constant into account.
3.
Measure the distance between Point P and Point Q (PQ).
4.
Install a reflector prism on the tripod at Point P.
5.
Set up another tripod at Point R, on the line between Point P and Point Q.
6.
Transfer the Nivo series instrument to the tripod at Point R.
7.
Measure the distance from Point R to Point P (RP), and from Point R to
Point Q (RQ).
8.
Calculate the difference between the value of PQ and the value of RP + RQ.
9.
Move the Nivo series instrument to other points on the line between Point P
and Point Q.
10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 ten times or so.
11. Calculate the average of all the differences.
The error range is within 3 mm. If the error is out of range, contact your dealer.

Checking and Adjustment
Checking the Laser Pointer
The Nivo series total station uses a red laser beam to a laser pointer. The laser pointer
is coaxial with the line of sight of the telescope. If the instrument is well adjusted, the
red laser pointer coincides with the line of sight. External influences such as shock or
large temperature fluctuations can displace the red laser pointer relative to the line of
sight.

CAUTION – Use only the pin connections shown above. Using other connections will damage
the instrument.
CAUTION – The Nivo series total station has different pin assignment from other models of
Nikon total station.
To connect to an external power source, supply power to Pin 4 (power terminal) and
Pin 5 (ground terminal) on the instrument. The instrument will use the external power
source even if the internal battery packs are attached.
CAUTION – Make sure that the power supplied is within the rated input range (4.5 V to 5.2 V
DC, 1 A maximum). Power supplied outside this range will damage the instrument.
To communicate with an external device, connect the RS-232C signal from the
external device to Pin 1 (input terminal) and to Pin 2 (output terminal) on the
instrument.
Cap the data output/external power input connector securely while not in use. The
instrument is not watertight if the cap is not attached or not attached securely, and
when the data output/external power input connector is in use.
The instrument can be damaged by static electricity from the human body discharged
through the data output/external power input connector. Before handling the
instrument, touch any other conductive material once to remove static electricity.
