6 2. Preparation before Measurement 2.1 About Battery 2.1.1 Battery Power Symbol 错误!未找到引用源。错误!未找到引用源。 NOTE: ◆ The working time of battery will be effected by many factors, such as ambient temperature, recharging time, recharging and discharging times. On the data safe side, we suggest the users 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. ◆ The symbol only indicates the supply power but not the instantaneous power change. And if the measurement mode changes, the symbol will not show the power’s decrease or increase immediately. ◆ It is suggested to check every battery power before field work. Measurement is impossible, it is necessary to replace or recharge battery The battery is lower, it is better to replace or recharge it Measurement is possible Meas PC 0.0 ppm 0 ⊥ SD VA HA P1 DIST SHV1 SHV2 0 S E T +

7 2.1.2 Replace the Battery 1) Remove the battery ① Press the button downward as shown left ② Remove the battery by pulling it toward you 2) Mount the battery ① Insert the battery to the instrument ② Press the top of the battery until you hear a Click. 2.1.3 Recharge the Battery As above figures show, connect the charger and the battery, then plug the charger into the outlet of 100V-240V AC power supply, recharging will begin. NOTE: ◆ For a new (or long time no use) battery, in order to fully extend its capacity, it is absolutely necessary to carry out 3 to 5 complete charging/discharging cycles, and the charging time must be 10 hours at least each time. ◆ The indicator light on the charger will illuminate three separate colors for varies mode conditions: Solid Red Light—indicates that the charger is working; Solid Green Light— indicates that the charge has finished; Flashing Red Light—indicates no battery on charging, poor connection or some problems exist. ◆ It is recommended to continue charging for 1 or 2 hours after the light turn green. ◆ Once the red light flashes constantly after the charger is plugged into the outlet of 100V-240V AC power supply, please remove the battery and reconnected it after 3 or 5 min.

8 2.2 Setting Up the Instrument Mount the battery in the instrument before performing this operation because the instrument will tilt slightly if the battery is mounted after leveling. I. Set up the tripod first: extend the extension legs to suitable lengths and tighten the screws on the midsections. Make sure the legs are spaced at equal intervals and the head is approximately level. Set the tripod so that the head is positioned over the surveying point. Make sure the tripod shoes are firmly fixed in the ground. II. Mount the instrument on the tripod head. Supporting it with one hand, tighten the centering screw on the bottom of the unit to make sure it is secured to the tripod. 2.3 Centering and Levelling-Up 1. Position tripod legs so that the plummet is aimed to the ground mark point. Turn the focusing ring of the optical plummet to focus. 2. Turn three footscrews of the tribrach till the center of reticle exactly coincides with the surveying point in any position. 3. Move the tripod legs to centre the circular level. The instrument is now roughly leveled-up. 4. Center the bubble in the circular level Loosen the horizontal motion clamp, and turn the instrument till the plate level is parallel to a line shaped with screws A and B. Adjust the screws A and B to make the bubble in the center of the level. Screw B Screw A Plate level Screw C

9 Turn the instrument approximately 90°. Adjust screw C, till the bubble in the center of the level. Repeat above steps until the bubble remains in the center of the plate level while the instrument is rotated to any position. 5. Center the surveying point again Loosen the centering screw slightly. Looking through the optical plummet eyepiece, slide the instrument over the tripod head until the surveying point is exactly centered in the reticle. Re-tighten the centering screw securely. 6. Check again to make sure the bubble in the plate level is centered. If not, repeat procedure 4. Screw A Screw B Screw C

10 2.4 Accurate Levelling-Up with Electronic Level on screen It is convenient for R15 to level-up with electronic level, especially when it is difficult to observe the circular level and plate level. 1. Power on the instrument and press key {BS} directly, and the electric level displays on screen. 2. Level it by turning three foot screws, see above operation “3.

61 12.4 Precautions When Performing Resection In some cases it is impossible to calculate the coordinates of occupied point if the unknown point and three or more known points are arranged on the edge of a single circle. It is also impossible to calculate if the included angle between the known points is too small. It is difficult to imagine that the longer the distance between the instrument occupied and known points, the narrower the included angle between the known points. Be careful for the points can easily be aligned on the edge of a single circle. An arrangement such as shown below is desirable. △▲：unknown point ○●：known point It is sometimes impossible to perform a correct calculation such as shown below. When they are on the edge of a single circle, take one of the following methods: (1) Move the instruction station as close as possible to the center of the triangle. (2) Measure one more known point which is not on the circle. (3) Perform a distance measurement on at least one of the three points.
