Usage precautions
xxxx xxxxxxxxx
Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the Electronic
Total Station R-2500DN product which you have purchased will provide long-lasting
maximum
performance, the precautions in this manual must be followed. Make sure to follow these
instructions and use this product properly at all times.
[Solar observation]
WARNING
Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of sight.
Never point the objective lens directly at the sun as this may damage internal components.
When using the instrument for solar observation, be sure to attach the specially designed solar
filter (MU64) to the objective lens.
[Laser beam]
Do not stare into the laser beam. R-2500DN is a Class IIIa (3R) Laser product.
[EDM axis]
The R-2500DN EDM is the red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very small.
The beam is emitted from the objective centre. The EDM axis is designed to coincide with the
telescope sight axis (but both axes may deviate slightly because of intense temperature
changes and a long time lapse).
[Target constant]
Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement.
If a different constant is to be used, use the correct constant of the target. The constant is
stored in the instrument's memory when turned off.
[Reflectorless and reflector sheet]
• Reflectorless
The measurement range and accuracy of the Reflectorless mode are based on the condition
that laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of a Kodak Gray Card.
The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.
There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the
conditions above at survey work.
• There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may not be performed by
dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from a
diagonal angle.
• There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the
distance when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of
measuring the target on the road.
• There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become
longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or
sphere or rugged shape.
• There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the
distance by collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in
front of the target.
• There is a possibility that the distance may not be correctly measured when measuring a
target in the direction where there is a reflecting object (mirror, stainless board and white
wall, etc.) or under too strong sun light.
• In a situation high accuracy may not be expected, perform the measurement by Reflector
sheet or Prism.
• When using reflector sheet, set the reflector sheet to have its surface be approx. vertical to
the aiming line. If it is positioned not to be approx. right angle, there is a possibility that
correct distance measurements may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam.
In the following environments, the distance might not be able to be measured.
There is a reflection things (mirror, stainless board and white wall, etc.) in the direction of the
target and under too strong sun light
[Battery & charger]
• Do not use any battery or battery charger that is not approved by Pentax as it entails a risk
of damaging the instrument.
• If water should happen to splash on the instrument or the battery, wipe it off immediately
and allow it to dry in a dry location. Do not put the instrument in the case until it is
completely dry as this may result in damage to the instrument.
• Turn off the power when removing the battery from the instrument as removing the battery
while the power is still on may result in damage to the instrument.
• The battery mark displayed on the instrument is only an estimation of remaining battery
power and is not completely accurate. Replace the battery quickly when it is about to run
out of power as the time a battery lasts on one full charge differs depending on conditions
of ambient temperature, and the measurement mode of the instrument.
• Confirm the battery level remaining before operating.
[About Clock Battery (lithium)]
• Clock battery is a backup battery used for calendar clock function.
• The battery can last about five years with regular use, but it is possible to be shorter
depending on usage.
• When the voltage of the clock battery is low or runs out, the date and time display
incorrectly and indication of "Clock-batt. voltage low" will appear.
• Please contact your the dealer which the purchased was mail for any exchange or return of
the clock battery.
[LD POINT, laser pointer]
When you make a correct direction using the “LD POINT”, aim the laser beam at the wall and
mark the centre and then confirm the discrepancy between the reticle centre and the marked
point beforehand.
[Storage and operating environment]
• To prevent making short-circuit when removing the battery and charger from the case and
storing them, apply electrically resistant tape to the poles of the battery. Storing the battery
and charger as it may result in fire or burn injury due to short-circuit.
• Avoid storing the instrument in places subject to extreme high, low or radically fluctuating
temperature. (Ambient temperature range during use: –20° C to +50° C)
• Distance measurements may take longer when atmospheric conditions are poor such as
when heat shimmer occurs. When storing the instrument, always put it in its case and avoid
storage in dusty location or location subject to vibration or extreme heat or humidity.
• Whenever there is a sharp temperature difference between the instrument’s storage and
usage environment, allow the instrument to adjust to the environment for an hour or more
before using it. Make sure to protect the instrument from the sun if the location is subject to
intense direct sunlight.
• The battery should be charged approximately once per month if the instrument is to be
stored for an extended period of time. The instrument should also be removed from its case
occasionally and aired out.
• In addition to these precautions, be sure to handle the instrument properly at all times
following the descriptions given in the various sections of this manual to assure safe and
proper measurements.
[Transporting and carrying the instrument]
• Be careful to protect this instrument from shock of impact and excessive vibration which
may result in damage during transportation and shipment.
• When transporting the instrument, always put it in the case and wrap shock absorbing
material around it and be sure it is handled as “FRAGILE”.
[Checks and repairs]
• Always check the instrument before beginning work and check that the instrument is
maintaining the proper level of precision. Pentax bears absolutely no responsibility for
damages due to survey results obtained from surveys conducted without an initial
instrument check.
• Never disassemble the instrument, battery or charger, even if you do detect an abnormality,
as there is a risk of fire or electric shock due to short-circuit. If you think the product
requires repair, contact the retail outlet where you purchased it or an authorized repair site.

1.8.2 About photography data
After the SD card is set on your computer or the USB cable is connected, the Explore window
is displayed on your computer as shown in the example. The image data is stored in the
DCIM folder in the form of JPEG. The survey information is stored as a CSV file under the
name of INDEXDAT.CSV.
The numbers to be used for the file of the taken picture are from “P0000001.JPG” to
“P0009999.JPG”
The numbers for the picture taken file are from “P0000001.JPG” to “P0009999.JPG”. A new
folder of “101V300D” is created in the “DCIM” folder if a picture is taken when the number
“P0009999.JPG” has already been reached in the memory. A picture taken file is generated,
starting with the file name of “P0000001.JPG” in that new folder.

6. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
6.1 Target setting
The target mode and its Constant of current setting
are shown at the left of the battery mark. For
example in case of each Constant 0, Reflectorless
(Non-Prism); N 0, Prism; P 0
Pressing [F2] [TARGET] changes the target mode.
• The target mode is changed sequentially as follows.
Reflector sheet - Prism - Reflectorless
• The selected target mode is stored in the memory even if the power is turned off.
So, next time you can use the same mode after turning on.
• The target Constant differs according to the selected target mode. So, confirm the target
mode and its Constant shown at the top screen after changing the target.
[Distance measurement by reflectorless (Non-Prism) mode]
• The measurement range and accuracy of Reflectorless are based on the condition that laser
beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of the Kodak Gray Card.The measurement
range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.There is a
possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions above at
survey work.
• Pay attention to the following in case of distance measurement by Reflectorless.
In case of resulting in low accuracy, perform the distance measurement by Prism.
• The CODE number 521 [LONG RANGE MES.] shows ON/OFF.
• The WARNING (Laser Power) screen is displayed when Message ON is selected, and then
[F1] [MEAS] key is pressed.
• Pressing [F1] [MEAS] one time selects “Second MEAS setting” and twice selects “QUIT”.
①There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or
reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from diagonal angle.
②There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly when receiving reflected
laser beam from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road.
③There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become
longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or
sphere or rugged shape.
④There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly collecting the reflected
laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in front of the target.
[Distance measurement by reflector sheet mode]
Position the Reflector sheet whose reflecting surface faces the aiming line to be approx.
Right angle when the distance is measured by it. If it is positioned not to be approx.
Right angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by
dispersion or reduction of laser beam.
41
[Applied measurement range by each target mode]
• When a wrong target mode is selected, a correct distance cannot be measured.
Please select a correct target mode and measure.
• It is sometimes possible to measure without prism under special conditions like in the close
distance, targeting on a wall surface. However, there is a possibility including some errors
in this case, so be sure to select the reflectorless mode.
• The target constant should be correctly selected and confirmed in case that the reflector
sheet is used at the prism mode and the prism is used at the reflector sheet mode.
6.2 Distance measurement
The R-2500DN has two distance measurement modes of primary MEAS and second MEAS.
Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] one time goes to MEAS and twice goes to second MEAS.
You can freely select and allocate your desired measurement mode in primary MEAS and
second MEAS by the Initial Setting 2. The “MEASURE SHOT” is set at primary MEAS and
“TRACK CONT” is set at second MEAS as a Factory default setting.
• MEASURE SHOT means the distance measurement by the shot mode.
• MEASURE CONT means the distance measurement by the continuous mode.
• TRACK SHOT means the fast distance measurement by the shot mode.

Press [F1] [MEAS] key to measure the distance.
Set the line of sight of the telescope onto a target and
press the [F1] [MEAS] once to start measuring the
distance. When distance measurement has been
started, the distance measurement mark remains
displayed. After receiving reflected light from the
target, the instrument beeps and displays the mark to
start the shot measurement automatically.

The picture is taken and the image is stored in the
memory at that time.
[F1] [MEAS] is allocated as a function in the View1/3 display.
To measure the distance and take pictures simultaneously, “15. Auto Snap” in the camera
setting must be set to ON. Only distance measurement is carried out if [15.Auto Snap] is set
to OFF. (Refer to 10.6 Adjusting the Camera Setting – 15.Auto Snap)
The picture is taken after the end of distance measurement. Therefore, do not move the
telescope until the shot is completed.
You can sight the target approximately while looking at the View Mode screen, but you
cannot sight the target accurately since the telescope and the camare are not on the same
optical axis and both axis are not parallel. The optical axis of the telescope is always
positioned slightly below the centre of View mode screen. Make sure to use the camera
display for sighting the target approximately.
The optical system of the digital camera adopts the fixed focus method that doesn't request
focusing ,so that focusing of telescope doesn't synchronize with focusing the digital camera
on the image.
The type of image to be recorded is defined by selecting out of two types in “16.Save Mode”
of the camera settings. (Refer to 10.6 Adjusting the camera setting – 16. Save Mode)
The images can be checked by [F4] [REVIEW] and [F2] [S.SHOW]. (Refer to 10.3 Slide
Show and 10.4 Playing back images)

13.2 Atmospheric correction
The speed at which light travels through the air varies depending on the temperature and
atmospheric pressure. The R-2500DN is designed to measure distances at the speed of light in
order to measure accurately, atmospheric correction needs to be used. The instrument is
designed to correct for weather conditions automatically if the temperature and pressure are
input. Correction is then carried out based on the following formula.
Calculation formula
78.565271・P
K= (276.26713 ‒ 273.14941 + t ) X 10-4
273.14941 + t
K: Atmospheric Correction Constant
P: Atmospheric pressure (hPa)
t: Temperature(°C)

13.4 Error when no atmospheric correction is made
When measurement is carried out with no atmospheric correction (with the settings fixed at a
temperature of 15°C and an atmospheric pressure of 1013hPa or 760mmHg), the error per 100
meters in temperature and pressure will be shown in the tables below.
• When the actual pressure is 1013hPa (760mmHg) and the temperature is 25°C, conducting
the measurement with the temperature left at 15°C will result in the measurement being
short by 0.9mm per 100 meters.

13.5 Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction
• Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction refers to correcting both the bending
of the light beam caused by atmospheric refraction and the effect on the height differential
and horizontal distance caused by the earth curvature.
• Correction called “atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction” is initiated to
correct error when the slope distance and vertical angle are caused to determine the
horizontal distance and the height differential, with this instrument, the following formula
is used to correct these factors.
• Calculation formula when atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction parameter
is set to “ON”:
Corrected horizontal distance (H)
K-2
H = S ( cos α + sin α・ 2Re
2Re ・ S ・ cos α )
Corrected vertical distance (V)
1-K
V = S ( sin α + cos α・ 2Re
2Re ・ S ・ cos α )
• Calculation formula when atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction parameter
is set to “OFF”:
Horizontal distance H' = S ・ cos α
Vertical distance
V' = S ・ sin α
S: Slope distance
α: Vertical angle from horizontal
K: Atmospheric refraction coefficient (0.14 or 0.2)

13.6 Distance range
Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies considerably
depending on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the specifications illustrate the
values for both good and normal weather conditions.
It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are “Good” and when they are
“Normal”. With this instrument, the conditions noted below are used to differentiate between
the two situations (good weather conditions for surveying are different from normal weather
conditions, and in surveying situations, cloudy skies are considered more favourable than
sunny skies.) .
Weather conditions for measurement ranges are based on the following standard values:
Normal : Visibility of approximately 20 km, with slight shimmer and moderate wind.
Good : Visibility of approximately 40 km, overcast, with no shimmer and moderate wind.

The measurement range and accuracy of reflectorless, and time required to measure may
vary by the shape, size of surface area and reflection rate of the target and its environment.
The measurement range of reflectorless is determined by the white side of the Kodak Gray
Card.
Reflector sheet: PENTAX genuine Reflector sheet
The measurement range may vary by conditions of the environment.
Normal conditions: 20km visibility with slight shimmer Good conditions: 40km visibility,
overcast, no heat, no shimmer and moderate wind.
When automatic atmospheric correction is on, the EDM error is 10ppm in prism and
reflector sheet mode.
EDM measuring time is determined in good conditions. It may takes longer than usual to
measure the distance exceeding 4000m in prism mode and 300m in reflectorless mode.
Quick mode, which functions with prism and reflector sheet, is effective only under normal
mode(1mm) and up to 500m.
In addition to dual-axis correction in the (X) and (Y) direction, mechanical error in the
instrument is corrected.
Number of points to be recorded may vary by usage.
Maximum number of point to be recorded per job site : 3000 points
Maximum number of job file to be recorded : 50 job files
Maximum data points to be sent from PC to the instrument: 3000 points
