Remote Mode

The instrument can be controlled by the field controller using radio. The auto-
matic aiming function does not necessarily have to be active when working in
remote mode. The field controller is used to remote control the instrument. No
data can be stored on the field controller. The panel and content displayed on
the field controller are a copy of the remote controlled instrument.
The communication between the total station and the field controller is estab-
lished using radio modems. One radio modem must be connected to the total
station serial port.

The Emitting Guide Light, EGL, consists of two differently coloured flashing
lights in the telescope housing of the TS. The EGL is used for guidance into the
line of sight. If the left light is seen, the prism must be moved right and vice
versa. If both flashing lights can be seen, the prism is in the line of sight of the
instrument.
