Dear Customer:
Congratulations! We, STONEX are proud to present you with an R2W-PLUS
instrument. Your total station is a rugged and reliable instrument whose
performance and design are not surpassed.
To fully appreciate and protect your investment, we suggest that you take the
necessary time to read and fully understand this manual. We have a dedicated
service organization. If the need arises, please donât hesitate to call us.
Thank you for your trust and confidence.
NOTE:
Donât collimate the sun directly
Avoid insolating the instrument, and donât collimate the sun directly for protecting eyes
and instrument.
Set up the instrument on the tripod
When using it please insure the connection between tripod and instrument is firm. It is
better to work with wooden tripod for the measurement accuracy.
Assemble the tribrach on the instrument
The setting of tribrach would influence the accuracy. The tribrach should be check
frequently, the screw which connects the tribrach and alidade must be locked tightly. And
the central fixing screw should be tight.
Avoiding the librations on the instrument
When transporting, keep the instrument in the case and try your best to lighten librations.
Carry the instrument
When carryingËthe instrument handle must be held tight.
High temperature condition
If put the instrument in high temperature condition for a long time, it is bad for the
instrument performance.
Temperature changing sharply
The sharp temperature changing on the instrument or prism will shorten the distance
measurement range, for example, after taking the instrument out from a warm car to a
cold condition, wait for some time, it can be used when it adapts to the surrounding
condition.
Check the battery power
Before using it, you should check the power whether it is enough.
Take out the battery
It is not suggested to take out the battery when the instrument is on, otherwise, the stored
data may be lost, so it is better to replace the battery after power off the instrument.

4.5.6 Offset Measurement Mode
There are four kinds of Offset Measurement Modes:
z Angle Offset Measurement
z Distance Offset Measurement
z Plane Offset Measurement
z Column Offset Measurement
1) Angle Offset Measurement
This program is used to measure the point where itâs difficult to set prism. Place the prism
at the same horizontal distance from the instrument as that of point A0 to measure.
ĆWhen measuring coordinate of ground point A1(projection of point A0),set instrument
height and prism height.
ĆWhen measuring coordinate of point A0,set instrument height only(Prism height is set as
0).
ĆUnder angle offset measurement mode,there are two methods to set vertical angle:
1.Free vertical angle: vertical angle ranges from up-and-down movement of telescope.
2.Lock vertical angle:vertical angle is locked and canât range from up-and-down
movement of telescope.
Thus,if collimate A0 with the first method, vertical angle ranges from up-and-down
movement of telescope,and meantime slope distance(SD) and elevation difference(VD)
will change too.But if collimate A0 with the second method,vertical angle is locked in the
direction where prism is located and canât range from up-and-down movement of
telescope.

4. Repeat the check and adjustment procedure until the error is accepted.
NOTE:
1. When adjust the screws of reticle, firstly loosen the screw on the moving direction of
reticle, secondly tighten another screw by the same mount, clockwise turning is for
tightening, and anticlockwise turning is for loosening, the turning mount for tightening or
loosening should be same.
2. After the reticle adjustment, it is necessary to adjust the vertical index error by
program.
5.7 Vertical Index Error
The deviation between vertical circle zero position and horizontal direction is vertical
index (i), it is necessary to concern this error when measure vertical angle. The instrument
program applied a formula to remove this error. This correction can offer the index for the
formula.
Warning: Before starting this operation, be sure to read manual carefully, otherwise it may
cause data faulty.
Because of the close relationship between vertical index and compensator zero position, it
is necessary to check and adjust compensator zero position when adjust the vertical circle,
the value should be stable when reading.

Appendix I: Atmospheric correction formula and chart(Just
for reference)
Factory setting:
temperature: 20Ä, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm
temperature: 20Ä, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm
The correction:
KptË274.417-0.2905*p/(1Ë0.0036*t)
KptË278.960-0.2902*p/(1Ë0.0036*t)
Where:
p--Pressure value (hPa)
t--Temperature value (Ä)
Kpt--Atmospheric correction (ppm)
Example:
t=20Ä, p=1013hpa, L0=1000m.
Then:
Kpt=0ppm
Kpt=4ppm
L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000Ă(1+0Ă10-6)=1000.000m
L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000Ă(1+4Ă10-6)=1000.004m
The atmospheric value is obtained easily with the atmospheric correction chart.
Find the measured temperature in horizontal axis, and pressure in vertical axis on
the chart.
Read the value from the diagonal line, which is the required atmospheric
correction value.
