    Laser module The Quarryman Pro laser has a 750 m reflectorless range. The minimum calibrated range of the laser is 10 m. The two 50 mm lenses within the laser module are the transmitting and receiving optics. It is through these optics that the infrared measuring laser is fired and its reflected light is received back into the instrument.

    Pro. This can be achieved by varying the length of the tripod legs, and then by adjusting the foot- screws on the tribrach. Carrying handle with GPS mount While the Quarryman Pro is out of its transit case, use the carrying handle to transport the instrument around a site. Figure 7: Carrying handle...
  • Page 23 If necessary, use a 6 mm hex key to remove the carrying handle. This will allow the laser an unrestricted view vertically upwards. This may be required if, for example, you are scanning an underground chamber and require a complete view of the roof above the instrument. The carrying handle incorporates a 5/8 in thread.

  • Page 24: Tribrach

    A circular bubble on the tribrach can be used for rough levelling of the tripod and tribrach before the Quarryman Pro is mounted. However, always use the bubble on the yoke of the Quarryman Pro for accurate levelling of the instrument before starting a survey.

  • Page 25: Battery Pack

    Battery pack The Quarryman Pro is supplied with a dedicated 14.4 V dc lithium-ion battery pack. The battery pack is rated to 6.2 Ah, and will allow continuous scanning operation for at least 3.5 hours before recharging. This time will reduce at cold temperatures: 3 hours’ operation would be expected at -20°...

    Hardware manual – Quarryman Pro Alternative external power connections As well as the lithium-ion battery pack supplied, the Quarryman Pro may be powered from a 12 V dc battery using the black cable supplied. This cable incorporates two crocodile clips which connect to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals of the battery.

    Pro, data is stored in a USB drive inserted into the instrument. The USB drives fit into the USB port on the side of the Quarryman Pro. A sticker on the USB drive indicates which way round the drive should be inserted into the Quarryman Pro.
  • Page 29 If the USB drive is removed while the Quarryman Pro is on, or if it is not present when the instrument is switched on, a USB error appears on screen. In this case you will need to power down the Quarryman Pro by removing the power source.

  • Page 30: Tripod

    4.11 Tripod The Quarryman Pro is supplied with a standard survey tripod. The tripod’s 5/8 in screw attaches to the tribrach and holds the instrument secure during operations. The tripod should always be set up on stable ground and, where possible, the feet should be dug into the ground before the instrument is attached and levelled.

  • Page 31: Quarryman Viewer Software

    4.13 Quarryman Viewer software The Quarryman Pro system is supplied with Quarryman Viewer software. Data can be downloaded directly from the USB drive to Quarryman Viewer. The software can process survey operations such as traverses and resections and can coordinate data from multiple instrument set-ups.

  • Page 33: Maintenance And Care Of The Quarryman Pro

    Preventative maintenance to be carried out by the operator should include: 5.2.1 In use Avoid directing the Quarryman Pro laser towards the sun or other high-power, infrared light sources. Avoid mechanical shock. Clean and dry the equipment before, during and after use. Use dedicated lens-cleaning wipes to clean the windows on the laser module.

  • Page 34: In Storage

    Carry out regular functional testing of the system. Detect and report damage, malfunctions and poor performance to a Renishaw-approved service centre. Renishaw recommends a yearly calibration and service of the Quarryman Pro. Contact Renishaw or your local service and support centre for details.

    The FSC file format is the same as that used in previous versions of the Quarryman Pro and Quarryman Pro LR. If the USB drive is removed while the Quarryman Pro is still powered on, the FSC file may not be terminated correctly and could potentially be corrupt as far as any processing software is concerned.

  • Page 36: Start-Up

    Hardware manual – Quarryman Pro Start-up With the USB drive in the USB port, use the FIRE button to turn on the Quarryman Pro. The instrument is turned off from the main menu. See section 6.3, “Main menu”. After turning on the instrument, a splash screen appears.
  • Page 37 Figure 21: USB format error In this case, press ENTER to reformat the USB drive or press 1 to abort the boot-up sequence. If the reformat option is selected, this process will take around one minute, after which the instrument will turn itself off.

    NOTE: When the date and time has been entered, the Quarryman Pro will need to power down to save the selected configuration. A message appears offering the chance to either save the changes and shut down the instrument, or to abort any changes and return to the main menu.

  • Page 49: Operational Guidelines

    Only use the Quarryman Pro when it is mounted on a stable tripod. If you move the tripod, or the position of the instrument on the tripod, during operations at a single station, the collected data will be invalid.
  • Page 50 Similarly, when carrying out face profiling operations, the hole collars are not usually visible from the instrument location on the quarry floor. Therefore a person holding a tall target on a pole should stand over each collar. Use the Quarryman Pro to shoot a single observation to the target at each collar.

  • Page 51: Notes On Fastscan Options

    After selecting FastScan operations, you must define the scan window. The scan window outlines the area that the Quarryman Pro will ‘fill-in’ with scan points. Use the telescope to aim single observations just outside the outlying edges of the scene. Use a minimum of two points and a maximum of 25 points to define the scan window.
  • Page 52 Figure 42: “Curved” horizontal scan lines It is therefore advisable to use multiple points in order to ensure that all required aspects of a scene are included in the scan. The Quarryman Pro will then construct a ‘best-fit’ rectangle around the defined polygon.

  • Page 53: Scan Speed

    As always, the order in which the points are collected does not affect the scan. When a scan window has been defined, the Quarryman Pro prompts you to take a single shot in the middle of this window. The scan will not commence until a valid range has been registered. This shot serves two purposes.

  • Page 54: Chord And Arc Settings

    The Arc setting requires you to select an angular arc value in degrees. Enter this value in the FastScan settings screen. The Quarryman Pro laser module will move this angular distance at the end of each scan line before starting the next line.
  • Page 55 Imperial units). Enter this value in the FastScan settings screen. If Chord is selected, the Quarryman Pro laser module will use the initial single shot – taken after defining the scan window – to calculate the angle that will need to be subtended in order to achieve the user-defined Chord value on the face.

  • Page 56: Last-Hit Mode

    Hardware manual – Quarryman Pro Last-hit mode The Quarryman Pro measures distances by sending a pulse of laser energy out to a target and timing how long it takes the pulse to reach the target, reflect from it, and return to the receiving optics.

    Ensure that the latch on the side of the tribrach is engaged and holding the instrument securely. Turn the yoke of the Quarryman Pro so the axis of the unit is parallel to two of the three tribrach screws. Using these two foot-screws, level the instrument in one axis. Observe the bubble on the...
