Before using this product, be sure that you have thoroughly read and understood this instruction manual to ensure proper operation. After reading this manual, be sure to keep in a convenient place for easy reference. Exemption clause 1) TI Asahi Co.,Ltd. (TIA) shall not be liable for damage caused by Acts of God, fire, alteration or servicing by unauthorized parties, accident, negligence, misuse, abnormal operating conditions.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETYxx Safety precautions (Must be followed) The following items are intended to prevent possible injury to the user or other people and/or damage to the instrument before it occurs. These safety precautions are important to the safe operation of this product and should be observed at all times. Distinctive displays The following displays are used to distinguish precautions by the degree of injury or damage that may result if the precaution is ignored.

areas. If this instrument is used close to industrial areas or transmitters, the equipment can be influenced by electromagnetic fields. • Do not use this product in a coal mine, in a location where there is coal dust, or near flammable material as there is a risk of explosion.
Page 10
• Make sure the tripod itself and the instrument on the tripod are both installed securely as insecure installation may cause the tripod to fall over or the instrument to drop, resulting in possible injury. • Do not carry the tripod with the metal shoe pointing toward another person as it may injure him/her.
Do not stare into the laser beam. R-200 is a Class IIIa (3R) Laser product. [EDM axis] The R-200 series EDM is a 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).
Page 12
[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.
Page 13
[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.

• Once set, the Reflector sheet Constant and Prism Constant remain on the measurement screen as “S 0” or “P 0”. • The factory initial of Reflector sheet Constant and Prism Constant are 0. • Once set, each Constant remains in memory even after the power is turned off. 7.2 Changing the temperature The temperature setting can be changed only when “ATM CORR”...
• The factory initial of temperature is “+15°C”. • Once set, the temperature remains in memory even after the power is turned off. • Temperature correction is based on 15°C. If this instrument is used without correcting the temperature, a distance error per 100m is about -0.1mm per +1°C as a temperature difference from 15°C.
When “*” is on the screen, the pressure cannot be changed. If “ATM CORR” in “initial setting 1” has been set to “2.ppm INPUT”, no pressure is displayed on the correction menu screen. • Once set, the pressure is displayed at the centre of the top of the measurement screen. •...

Adjustments When the bubble of the Circular vial comes off from the center according to check procedure ②, it is necessary to adjust. Turn the bubble adjustment screw with a hex wrench (L type wrench) and put the bubble in the center of the circle.
Reticle adjusting screws 10.4 Perpendicularity of line of sight to horizontal axis Checks ①Position a target Point A at a distance 30m - 50m away from the instrument, and sight it with the telescope. ②Loosen the telescope lock screw and turn the telescope until a point is sighted at a distance roughly equal to that of Point A.
When a center part where a cross intersection and the laser mark look the brightest shifts by 0.8mm or more (at the instrument height 1.5m), it is necessary to adjust it. A repair engineer does this adjustment. Please contact the PENTAX dealer.
10.7 Optical Plummet Checks ①Set the instrument on the tripod, and place a piece of white paper with a cross drawn on it right under the instrument. ②Look through the optical plummet, and move the paper so that the intersecting point of the cross comes to the center of the field of view.
The check of the offset constant can be done on a certified base line. It can also be obtained in a simple way as described below. Checks 1. Locate points A, B and C at about 50m intervals on even ground. 2.
●If instrument function is not as described in ④, contact your local dealer. ●This check should be done under good weather conditions. 10.10 The EDM beam axis The distance measurement (EDM) beam axis is adjusted to be aligned to the sighting axis of the telescope, but it can be changed a little in case of rapid temperature change, shock or aging.
