W-800 series is an open platform product and you can enjoy variety of application software on it. Regarding the operations of application software, please refer to their respective manuals.

  • Page 4: Precautions Regarding Safety

    PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY 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.
  • Page 5 • Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC): This instrument complies with the protection requirement for residential and commercial 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 6: Usage Precautions

    (3R) laser product.) [EDM axis] The W-800 series EDM is the red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very small. The beam is emitted from the objective center and the base plate center hole. 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 7 [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.
  • Page 8 out 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. [Auto focus] The Auto focus mechanism is very precise but will not function under every condition. Focusing depends on brightness, contrast, the shape and size of the target.
  • Page 9 [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.

    3.2 Laser plummet Turn on the laser plummet function. How to activate/terminate the laser beam emission differs depending on application software. For exact method of activating/terminating laser beam emission, refer to the instructions in the manuals of respective software. The brightness adjustment step of the laser is 10 steps. Match the position by the tripod so that the laser mark coincides with the ground mark.

  • Page 26: Leveling With Circular Vial

    3.3 Leveling Tripod is adjusted according to the following points by extending or contracting the legs so that the bubble of the Circular vial goes to the center of the circle. • Shorten the leg at the side of the bubble or extend the leg opposite of the bubble to position the bubble in the center of the vial circle.

  • Page 27: Eyepiece Adjustment

    3.4 Eyepiece adjustment The eyepiece adjustment is performed before target sighting. Remove the telescope lens cap. Point the telescope at a bright object, and rotate the eyepiece ring full counter-clockwise. Look through the eyepiece, and rotate the eyepiece ring clockwise until the reticle appears as its maximum sharpness.

  • Page 28: Target Sighting

    3.5 Target sighting [Auto focus] The Auto focus mechanism is very precise but will not function under every condition.There is a slight possibility of focusing failure owing to brightness, contrast, the shape and size of the target. In such a case, press the AF button and focus on the target by operating the Power focus key or the Focus ring.
  • Page 29 [Target sighting by Auto focus] The Auto focus of W-800 series has following two modes. 1. Normal mode: Pressing AF button focuses on the target. 2. Continuous mode: Pressing AF buttons for two seconds beeps, and releasing the key enters into the Continuous mode.
  • Page 30 [Auto focus :Target sighting by Continuous mode] Loosen the telescope clamp and horizontal clamp screws. Point the telescope at the target using a collimator. Tighten the above two screws. Adjust the eyepiece. Look through the telescope and then press the AF button for two seconds to beep, and release the key to enter into the Continuous mode.
  • Page 31 [Auto focus :Target sighting by Power focus mode] Loosen the telescope clamp and horizontal clamp screws. Point the telescope at the target using a collimator. Tighten the above two screws. Adjust the eyepiece. Look through the telescope, and then operate the Power focus key and focus on the target. Align the reticle accurately on the target using telescope and horizontal tangent screws.

  • Page 32: Attachment And Detachment Of Tribrach

    [Target sighting by manual focus] Loosen the telescope clamp and horizontal clamp screws. Point the telescope at the target using a collimator. Tighten the above two screws. Adjust the eyepiece. Look through the telescope and then rotate the Focus ring and stop it where the target can be seen clearly and the target image does not move in relation to reticle even if your eye is vertically and horizontally moved.

  • Page 33: Checks And Adjustments

    4. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS • Checks and Adjustments should be performed before and during measurement. • The instrument should be checked after long storage and transportation. • The checks should be performed in the following order. [Cautions on CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS] •...

  • Page 34: Circular Vial

    4.2 Circular Vial [Checks] Adjust by the electronic vial beforehand. Confirm the position of the bubble of the Circular vial. At this time, it is not necessary to adjust if the bubble is at the center of the circle. [Adjustments] When the bubble of the Circular vial comes off from the center according to check procedure it is necessary to adjust.

  • Page 35: Vertical Reticle

    4.3 Vertical reticle [Checks] Set the instrument up the tripod and carefully level it. Sight the target Point A with telescope. Using the telescope fine adjustment screws, move Point A to the edge of the field of view by screw (point A’). No adjustment is necessary if Point A moves along the vertical line of the reticle.

  • Page 36: Perpendcularity Of Line Of Sight To Horizontal Axis

    4.4 Perpendicularity of Line of sight to horizontal axis [Checks] Position a target Point A at a distance 30m - 50m away from the instrument, and sight it with the telescope. Loosen the telescope lock screw and turn the telescope until a point is sighted at a dis tance roughly equal to that of Point A.

  • Page 37: Laser Plummet

    When a center part where a cross intersection and the laser mark look the brightest shifts by 0.8 mm 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. 4.7 Offset constant The offset constant rarely changes.

  • Page 38: Beam Axis And Line Of Sight

    The adjustment is not necessary if the center of the laser spot stays within 10 mm from the center of the target. [Adjustments] At the procedure 4. above, if the “Center” of laser spot is not within the internal circle (10mm) of the target plate, the adjustment is necessary. Please contact your PENTAX dealer.

    The speed at which light travels through the air varies depending on the temperature and atmospheric pressure.The W-800 series 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.
