Don’t collimate the sun directly
Avoid insolating the instrument, and don’t 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 carrying，the 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.
Stored data responsibility
PENTAX should not be held liability for the lost data because of wrong
operation.
The noise from the instrument
When the instrument is working, it is normal if you hear the noise from

4.5.6 Offset Measurement Mode
There are four kinds of Offset Measurement Modes:
Angle Offset Measurement
Distance Offset Measurement
Plane Offset Measurement
Column Offset Measurement
1) Angle Offset Measurement
This program is used to measure the point where it’s difficult to set prism.
Place the prism at the same horizontal distance from the instrument as that
of point A0 to measure.
●When measuring coordinate of ground point A1(projection of point A0),set
instrument height and prism height.
●When measuring coordinate of point A0,set instrument height only(Prism
height is set as 0).
●Under 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 can’t 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
64
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
can’t range from up-and-down movement of telescope.

1) Check
It is suggested to observe and compare the instrument with a testing line
which is set on stable ground with a particular accuracy, though error is not
generally included in the instrument constant. If the testing line is
unavailable, you can set it for 20 meters or so by yourselves, then check and
compare it with your new instrument.
1. Select a point B on the approximately horizontal line AC with about 100
meters long. Measure the distances of lines AB , AC and BC .
2. The instrument constant can be calculated;
instrument constant =AB+BC-AC
3. If there is a difference between the instrument standard constant and the
calculated value , colligate the measured constant and the prism constant to
get a new value ,then input the value into the instrument as a prism
constant .
4. Compare length of the instrument’s testing line again with a certain
standard testing line .
5. If the difference is over 5 mm after the preceding operations, it is
necessary to reset the instrument constant .

accurately.
Procedures:
1. Power on, run the software “TS810Setup”, on the screen tap or keys
until Collimation displays, tap it to display collimation error and vertical
index error setting menu.
2. Aim at the cross-hair of collimator at telescope left, tap “Left value” to
read the horizntal and vertical angles.
3. Aim at the cross-hair of coillmator at telescope right, tap “Right value” to
read the horzontal and vertical angles.
80
4. The software will calculate the new collimation error and vertical index
error automatically.
5. Tap “Enter” to save the new values, or tap “Cancel” to use old values.
Note:
The adjustment can be performed by the program when C<30″,ifC>30″,
adjust the reticle.
Reticle Adjusting:
1. Rotate the instrument in face right position, turning horizontal tangent
screw until Hr′=Hr+C.
2.Loosen the shield of telescope’s reticle.
3. Adjusting two screws at left and at right until the vertical hairs of
telescope’s reticle coincides with the cross-hairs of collimator or target.
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.
1) Check:
81
Please adjust the reticle of telescope and correct the collimation error before
this operation.
(1) Mount the instrument at the tripod or a stable device and level it
accurately, then turn on the instrument.
(2) Aim at the cross-hairs of collimator or the obvious target at a distance, VA
should be about ±10°. Read the face left angle Vl and face right angle Vr.
(3) Calculate the index error according to the formula below:
i = ( Vl+Vr-360°)/2
(4)If I<10〞, no adjustment is necessary , or you have to adjust it .
2) Adjustment by program:
Set-up the instrument on tripod or adjustment platform, and leveling
accurately.

5.8 EDM Optical Axis and the Telescope Sighting Axis
Error
It is necessary to check this error after the adjustment of telescope reticle
error.
1）Checking (For 350 series)
(1) Install the instrument at the tripod or a stable device and level it
accurately, then power on the instrument.
(2) Set a prism about 2m far away from the instrument.
(3) Aim at the prism center with telescope reticle.
(4) Enter EDM signal testing screen.
(5) Observe through eyepiece, turn the focusing knob until the red mark is
clear, if the deviation between mark and cross-hair is not over 1/5 of red mark
diameter, adjustment is unnecessary.
2）Checking (For W-1502N series)
(1) Install the instrument at the tripod or a stable device and level it
accurately, then power on the instrument.
(2) Set a reflective sheet about 5m-20m far away from the instrument.
(3) Aim at the sheet cross-mark with telescope reticle.
(4) Enter EDM signal testing screen.
(5) Observe the laser spot, if the laser spot coincides with the cross-mark of
reflective sheet, adjustment is unnecessary.
NOTE:
Laser radiation do not stare into beam.
3）Adjustment
If the instrument needs adjustment, please contact with our dealers.

Appendix I: Atmospheric correction formula and
chart(Just for reference)
Factory setting: temperature: 20℃, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm
The correction:
Kpt＝274.417-0.2905*p/(1＋0.0036*t)
Where: p--Pressure value (hPa)
t--Temperature value (℃)
Kpt--Atmospheric correction (ppm)
Example:
t=20℃, p=1013hpa, L0=1000m.
Then: Kpt=0ppm
L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000×(1+0×10-6)=1000.000m
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.
