Page 55: Distance Measurement
5. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT User should avoid measuring distance to targets with high reflectivity (e.g. traffic light) neither in IR distance measurement mode nor in laser reflectorless distance mode, otherwise the measured distance is incorrect or inaccurate. When pressing Meas, the total station will measure the distance between the instrument to the target. During distance measurement, if there’re passers‐by, cars, animals or shaking branches block the light path, some light beams may be refected back to the instrument, which will lead a fake result of measurement. Under the mode of reflectorless and reflecting sheet, user should avoid the light path being blocked by other objects. Reflectorless Distance Measurement ● Make sure the laser beam is not reflected by any reflecting objects nearby. ● When star ting distance measurement, EDM will measure the distance to the target on the light path. If there’re passing objects (like cars, rain, snow or frog), EDM will measure the distance to the nearest object. ● When measuring a longer distance, the laser bea m may deviate from the collimation line, which will affect the accuracy. This is because the emitting point of laser beam may not coincide the point which is collimated by the crosshair. Thus, users are recommended to adjust the instrument precisely to ensure the laser beam is consistent with the collimation line. (Refer to “12.11 REFLECTORLESS DISTANCE MEASUREMENT”) ...

side, and then tighten the other adjusting screw on the offset side, bringing the bubble to the center. After the bubble stays in the center, keep the tightness of the three screws in uniform. 12.3 INCLINATION OF RETICLE Inspection 1. Sight object A through the telescope and lock the horizontal and vertical clamp screws. 2. Move object A to the edge of the field of view with the vertical tangent screw (point A′) 3. No adjustment is necessary if object A moves along the vertical line of the reticle and point A′ still in the vertical line. As illustrated，Ａ′offsets from the center and the cross hair tilts, then need to adjust the reticle. Adjustment 1. If the object A does not move along the vertical line, first remove the eyepiece cover to expose the four reticle adjusting screws. 2. Loosen the four reticle adjusting screws uniformly with an adjusting pin. Rotate the reticle around the sight line and align the vertical line of the reticle with pointＡ′. 3.Tighten the reticle adjusting screws uniformly，repeat the inspection and adjustment to see if the adjustment is correct. ...

Mount and level the instrument and make the telescope parallel with the line connecting the center of the instrument to any one of the screws. Lock the horizontal clamp screw. 2. After turning on the power, zero the vertical index. Lock the vertical clamp screw and the instrument should display the vertical angle value. 3. Rotate the vertical clamp screw slowly in either direction about 10mm in circumference, and the error ˊ message “b” will appear. The vertical axis has increased to more than 3 at this time and exceed s the designated compensation range. Rotate the above screw to its original position, and the instrument display screen will show the vertical angle again, meaning that the vertical index difference compensation function is working. Adjustment If the compensation function is not working, send the instrument back to the factory for repair. 12.6 ADJUSTMENT OF VERTICAL INDEX DIFFERENCE ( I ANGLE) AND VERTICAL ANGLE 0 DATUM ...

Page 200: Transverse Axis Error Compensation Adjustment
12.7 TRANSVERSE AXIS ERROR COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT As the transverse axis error only affects the angle of sight, it can be only confirmed through observing the target of which height is obviously lower or higher than the instrument. To avoid the influence of sight axis, user must have an associated adjustment before adjusting sight axis. It is unnecessary to collimate the prism or the target plane to decide the transverse axis error. Therefore user is enabled to launch this adjustment at any time. Select a recognizable point which is rather far away from the instrument, and much higher or lower than the instrument, with an aim to precisely collimate the point twice.

Adjustment 1. Take off the protective cover between the optical plummet eyepiece and focusing knob. 2. Fix the paper. Rotate the instrument and mark the point of fall of the center of optical plummet on the paper at every 90°. As illustrated: Point A, B, C, D. 3. Draw lines that attach AC and BD and mark the intersection point of the two lines as O. 4. Adjust the four adjusting screws of the optical plummet with an adjusting pin until the center mark coincides with Point O. 5. Repeat the inspection and adjusting steps to be sure the adjustment is correct. 6. Replace the protective cover. 12.9 INSTRUMENT CONSTANT (K) Instrument constant has been checked and adjusted in the factor, K=0. It changes seldom and it is suggested to check one or two times every year. The inspection should be made on the base line, also can be made according to the following method. Inspection 1. Mount and level the instrument on Point A in a plain place. Use the vertical hair to mark Point B and Point C on the same line with the distance of 50m on the same line, and set the reflector accurately. 2. After setting temperature and air pressure in the instrument, measure the Horizontal Distance of AB and AC accureately. 3. Set the instrument on Point B and center it accurately, measure the Horizontal Distance of BC accurately. 4. Then you can get the Instrument Constant： ...

4. Check whether the center of reticle coincides with the center of emiting photoelectric axis. If so, the instrument is up to grade. Adjustment If there is great difference between the center of reticle and the center of emiting photoelectric axis, the instrument need repairing. 12.11 REFLECTORLESS EDM The red laser beam used for measuring without reflector is arranged coaxially with the line of sight of the telescope, and emerges from the objective port. If the instrument is well adjusted, the red measuring beam will coincide with the visual line of sight. External influences such as shock or large temperature fluctuations can displace the red measuring beam relative to the line of sight. The direction of the beam should be inspected before precise measurement of distances, because an excessive deviation of the laser beam from the line of sight can result in imprecise distance measurements. Warning Looking straight at the laser beam should be always considered as hazardous. Precautions: Do not stare at the beam or point it to the other people. Measuring result might also available even the laser pass through body. Inspection: A target plate is provided. Set it up between five and 20 meters away with the grey reflective side facing the instrument. Move the telescope to face II. Switch on the red laser beam by activating the laser‐point function. Use the reticle to align the instrument with the centre of the target plate, and then inspect the position of the red laser dot on the target plate. Generally speaking the red spot cannot be seen through the telescope, so look at the target plate from just above the telescope or from just to the side of the target plate. If the spot illuminates the cross, the achievable adjustment precision has been reached; if it lies outside the limits of the cross, the direction of the beam needs to be adjusted. If the spot on the more reflective side of the plate is too bright (dazzling), use the white side instead to carry out the inspection. ...

12.12 TRIBRACH LEVELING SCREW If the leveling screw becomes flexible, adjust the two adjusting screw in the leveling screw to tighten the screw appropriately. 12.13 RELATED PARTS FOR REFLECTOR 1. The Tribrach and Adapter for Reflector The plate vial and optical plummet in the adapter and tribrach should be checked, refer to Chapter 12.1 and 12.7. 2. Perpendicularity of the prism pole As illustrated, mark ‘+’ on Point C, place the tine of the prism pole on the Point C and do not move during the inspection. Place the two feet tine of Bipod on Point E and F on the cross lines. Adjust the two legs to make the bubble on the prism pole centered. Set and level the instrument on Point A near the cross. Sight tine of Point C with the center of reticle, and fix the Horzontal Clamp Screw. Rotate the telescope uptward to make D near the horizotal hair. Flex the prism pole Leg e to make the D in the center of reticle. Then both Point C and D are on the central line of reticle. Set the instrument on Point B on another cross lines. With the same way flexing the Leg f to make Point C and D are on the central line of reticle. Through the inspection by the instrument on Point A and B, Prism pole has been perpendicular. If then the bubble offset from the center, adjust the three screws under circularial to make the bubble centered. Check and adjust again until the bubble is in the center of the vial from both directions. ...
