Start to initial setting of instrument Horizontal angle 2.
INITIAL SETTING The instrument has many functions. In order to be appropriate to different observation, please do initial setting before observation. SETTING ITEMS Unit of angle setting: °(degree) ‘ (cent) “(second) (360 degrees one circle) (400G one circle) (6400mil one circle) Factory setting °...
SETTING METHOD Press key to turn power on and hold it until all the symbols displayed,then loose the key. After three beeps, loose the key. The instrument will be into initial setting mode. Press key to move the cursor to the next figure. Press key to change the figure.

HORIzONTAL AND VERTICAL ANGLE MEASUREMENT Set the mode for horizontal right, Press to change horizontal angle from right to left mode. • If display left,turn the alidade at clockwise to add horizontal angle. • If display left,turn the alidade at counterclockwise to add horizontal angle. Choosing left and right measuring style are decided by observers preference.

Press , choose right, turn telescope at counterclockwise, then sight target 1 with cross line center. Press ,horizontal angle of Target 1 turn to be “0” position, then sight target 2 with cross line center,display horizontal angle between 1 and 2 (turning left).

Vertical angle “0” setting In initial setting, vertical“0”setting is zenith 0°/horizontal 0°. ZEN=0 (zenith 0°) ZEN=90 (zenith 90°) Measurement of zenith distance and vertical angle zenith Distance If vertical angle is 0° for zenith direction, the vertical angle measured in this way is the zenith distance.

Vertical Angle Zenith (90° 00’ 00”) Target 1 Vertical Angle: Q = (L+180°-R) /2 Index difference: I = (L+R-180°) /2 or I = (L+R-540°) /2 Horizontal direction (00° 00’ 00”) If vertical angle is 0° in horizontal direction, then, the vertical angle measured in this way is the perpendicular angle.
DISTANCE MEASUREMENT Distance measurement with stadia hair of the telescope The distance from the measuring object to the instrument can be obtained by using the stadia hair (up and down or left and right) of the telescope, with the accuracy of ≤0.4%L(L: the distance of the target).

Circular vial Ajustment is unnecessary if the bubble of the circular vial is in the center after inspection and adjustment of the plate vial. If not,it is necessary. If the bubble of the circular vial is not in the center, bring the bubble to the center by us- ing adjusting pin or adjustable wrench to adjust the bubble adjusting screw.

Perpendicularity of aiming axis to horizontal axis(2C) Fix the instrument on tripod and level. Sight at the object A in normal position (left or right ways turning are all acceptable,just keep in same way during inspecting,and please not press ) and read the horizontal angle left Loosen vertical and horizontal clamp screws, and reverse the telescope.

Vertical index difference and vertical index zeroing Note:After making adjustments make the inspection as following: Leveling the instrument and turn the power on. Then, sight at a reference A with normal position telescope and obtain the vertical angle (L). Reverse the telescope and sight at the object A again and obtain the vertical angle (R). •...
LASER PLUMMET (SKT05L) Press the twice to activate the laser plummet. To turn off the laser plummet, press twice. ERROR MESSAGE Display TILT: If vertical disc compensator out of range, re-level instrument. If no change, send the instrument to an authorized service dealer for repair/maintenance. Note: the instrument can measure data even turn off compensator in initial status.
