    FOREWORDS Congratulations on the purchase of the SANDING Total Station STS-750RC Series. This manual is for the application of SANDING Total Station STS-750RC Series. Total Station STS-750RC is equipped with visible infrared laser EDM which can measure the distance without sighting a reflector.
  • Page 6 PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not collimate the objective lens directly to the sun without a filter. 2. Do not store the instrument in high and low temperature to avoid the sudden or great change of temperature. 3. When the instrument is not in use, place it in the case and avoid shock, dust and humidity.
  • Page 7 Warning: Continuously looking straight at the laser beam is harmful. Prevention: Do not stare at the laser beam, or point the laser beam to others’ eyes. Reflected laser beam is a valid measurement to the instrument. Warning: When the laser beam emits on prism, mirror, metal surface, window, etc., it is dangerous to look straight at the reflex.

PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT 2.1 UNPACKING AND STORE OF INSTRUMENT · Unpacking Place the case lightly with the cover upward, and unlock the case, take out the instrument. · Storing the Instrument Cover the telescope cap, place the instrument into the case with the vertical clamp screw and circular vial upwards (Objective lens towards tribrach), and slightly tighten the vertical clamp screw and lock the case.
  • Page 14 4) Precisely leveling by using the plate vial ①Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling screws A and B.

  • Page 15: Battery Power Remaining Display

    3) Use circular vial to roughly level the instrument. Adjust length of three legs of tripod, make the circular vial bubble of the instrument in the middle. 4) Use plate vial to level the instrument accurately. ①Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling screws A and B.
