Figure 1.2 Total Station Nivo series – Face-2 Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual Introduction Maintenance Before using the instrument, read and follow the following maintenance instructions: • Do not leave the instrument in direct sunlight or in a closed vehicle for prolonged periods. Overheating the instrument may reduce its efficiency. • If the Nivo series instrument has been used in wet conditions, immediately wipe off any moisture and dry the instrument completely before returning the instrument to the carrying case. The instrument contains sensitive electronic assemblies which have been well protected against dust and moisture. However, if dust or moisture gets into the instrument, severe damage could result. • Sudden changes in temperature may cloud the lenses and drastically reduce the measurable distance, or cause an electrical system failure. If there has been a sudden change in temperature, leave the instrument in a closed carrying case in a warm location until the temperature of the instrument returns to room temperature. • Do not store the Nivo series instrument in hot or humid locations. In particular, you must store the battery pack in a dry location at a temperature of less than 30 °C (86 °F). High temperature or excessive humidity can cause mold to grow on the lenses. It can also cause the electronic assemblies to deteriorate, and so lead to instrument failure. • Store the battery pack with the battery discharged. • When storing the instrument in areas subject to extremely low temperatures, leave the carrying case open. • When adjusting the leveling screws, stay as close as possible to the center of each screw’s range. The center is indicated by a line on the screw. • If the tribrach will not be used for an extended period, lock down the tribrach clamp knob and tighten its safety screw. • Do not use organic solvents (such as ether or paint thinner) to clean the non-metallic parts of the instrument (such as the keyboard) or the painted or printed surfaces. Doing so could result in discoloration of the surface, or in peeling of printed characters. Clean these parts only with a soft cloth or a tissue, lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent. • To clean the optical lenses, lightly wipe them with a soft cloth or a lens tissue that is moistened with alcohol. Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual 1 Introduction • The reticle plate cover has been correctly mounted. Do not release it or subject it to excessive force to make it watertight. • Before attaching the battery pack, check that the contact surfaces on the battery and instrument are clean. • Securely press the cap that covers the data output/external power input connector terminal. The instrument is not watertight if the cap is not attached securely, or when the data output/external power input connector is used. Reticle plate cover • The carrying case is designed to be watertight, but you should not leave it exposed to rain for an extended period. If exposure to rain is unavoidable, make sure that the carrying case is placed with the Nikon nameplate facing upward. • The battery pack contains a Lithium-ion battery. When disposing of the battery pack, follow the laws or rules of your municipal waste system. • 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. • Be careful not to pinch your finger between the telescope and trunnion of the instrument.

Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual 2 Preparation Power jack Charge indicator 0 This will read 5V, 4A Calibration indicator 0 Case “Top” edge Calibration button Calibration indicator 1 Charge indicator 1 Battery Slot Battery Slot Applying Power • Plug in the charger to the supplied AC adapter to turn the unit on. The power input must be 5 V with at least 4 A of current capability. Each battery may take up to 2 A while charging. Charging a battery 10 • Simply slide a battery into either battery slot to begin charging. The adjacent charge indicator will illuminate yellow when charging is in progress. The charge indicator will change to green when charging is complete. • Charger slots are completely independent so a battery may be inserted regardless of the state of the other battery slot. • Charging may take 2-4 hours if the battery was normally discharged. • Charging may take up to 5 hours with a completely drained battery which has been stored for several months without use. • By design Li-Ion batteries should not be charged above 40 °C-45 °C so a blinking charge light may mean the batteries are too hot for charging. Charging will resume after the batteries cool down. The charging time will be longer due to the batteries cool down when charging batteries above 40 °C-45 °C. Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual Preparation • If the charge indicator(s) are blinking and the batteries feel cool, it may indicate a problem with the battery or the charger. If the charge light is still blinking after trying several batteries which are not warm, there is a problem with the unit or the batteries themselves. Conditioning / calibrating a battery • Battery calibration is necessary about once every 6 months or more often if desired. Calibration insures the reported battery charge remaining is accurate. • Hold down the calibration button on the unit and then insert a battery while holding the calibration button to begin a battery calibration. Only the battery which was inserted while the button was depressed will begin calibration. During a battery calibration the battery will be charged, discharged completely, and then recharged before finishing. Calibration should complete in roughly 17 hours and the charger vents should not be covered during a calibration cycle. • The blue calibration indicator light(s) will blink slowly (on 1.5 sec, off 2 sec) while a calibration is in progress and the charge light(s) may be on or off during the calibration cycle. • When a calibration cycle is completed, the calibration light will stop blinking remain on until the corresponding battery is removed. • The bottom case temperature may continue to climb up to approximately 43 °C before temperature regulation is enabled to keep the case from getting warmer. As the battery voltage drops, the case will cool down and the automatic temperature limiting will no longer be necessary which minimizes the time it takes to discharge a battery. • If the case temperature continues to get too hot internally even after temperature regulation is enabled, there is a secondary failsafe which will abort the calibration completely. If an abort occurs, the calibration light(s) will blink rapidly and battery charging will be re-enabled.

Center crosshairs To sight the instrument: 1. Adjust the diopter: a. Aim the telescope at a blank area, such as the sky or a piece of paper. WARNING – Never look at the sun through the telescope. If you do, you may damage or lose your eyesight. b. 2. Looking through the eyepiece, rotate the diopter ring until the reticle crosshairs are in sharp focus. Eliminate parallax: a. Aim the telescope at the target image. b. Rotate the focusing ring until the target image is in sharp focus on the reticle crosshairs. c. Move your eye vertically and laterally to check whether the target image moves relative to the reticle crosshairs. Diopter ring Telescope focusing ring If the target image does not move, there is no parallax. d. 3. Rotate the tangent screw: – 16 If the target image does move, rotate the telescope focusing ring. Then repeat from Step c. The final turn of the tangent screw should be in a clockwise directions, to align the target accurately on the center crosshairs. Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual Preparation Setting the Measurement Mode and Preparing the Target The Nivo series has two measurement modes: Prism mode (Prism) and Reflectorless mode (N-Prism). These modes can be changed at any time by holding down the [MSR1] or [MSR2] key for one second. To set the measurement mode depending on the target you want to measure, see the following table. Target Target setting Prism, reflector sheet Prism (Prism mode) Other (reflective materials) N-Prism (Reflectorless mode) In some cases, you can measure another target that is not appropriate to the set measurement mode. Note – The Nivo2.C is Laser Class 3R in the Reflectorless mode and Laser pointer function, and Laser Class 1 in the Prism mode. Don’t sight the Prism when the Laser Pointer is on. Note – Nivo3.C and Nivo5.C are Laser Class 1 in the Prism and Reflectorless mode, and Laser Class 2 in Laser pointer function. Measurement with a prism Do not use a prism with scratches, a dirty surface, or a chipped center. Prisms with thin edges are recommended. ✕ ✓ thin edges ✕ chipped center thick edges As the Nivo series is extremely sensitive, multiple reflections on the prism surface can sometimes cause a significant loss in accuracy. To maintain the accuracy of your measurements: Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual 17 2 Preparation • When measuring a short distance, incline the prism slightly so that the EDM can ignore unnecessary reflections on the prism surface, as shown below. Hold the prism securely in place and do not move while taking measurements. In Prism mode, in order to avoid false measurements on objects other than the prism or reflector-sheet, targets that are less reflective than the prism or reflector sheet are not measured. Even if you start a measurement, measured values are not displayed. To measure less reflective objects, use the N-prism (reflectorless) mode Measurement in Reflectorless mode The intensity of the reflection from the target determines the distance the Nivo series can measure in this mode. The color and condition of the target surface also affect the measurable distance, even if the targeted objects are the same. Some less-reflective targets may not be measured. The following table describes some examples of targets and approximate measureable distances. Target You can measure approximately... Traffic signs, reflectors 500 meters (1640 feet) Paper (white), veneer (new) 300 meters (990 feet) wall (brightly painted), brick 100 to 200 meters (330 to 660 feet) Measurable distances may be shorter or measurement intervals may be longer in the following cases: • the angle of the laser against the target is small • the surface of the target is wet In direct sunlight, the measurable distance may be shorter. In this case, try to throw a shadow on the target. Targets with completely flat surfaces, such as mirrors, cannot be measured unless the beam and the target are perpendicular to each other. Make sure there are no obstacles between the instrument and the target when taking measurents. When you need to take measurements across a road or a place where vehicles or other objects are frequently moving, take several measurements to a target for the best result. 18 Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual Preparation Setting Up the Prism Reflector 1.
