    5. Abundant Surveying Programs Except for the basic surveying modes (angle, distance, coordinate measurement), KTS-440 provides special surveying programs, for example, REM, Offset, MLM, Staking-out, etc, to meet the demand of professional survey. 2. PRECAUTIONS 1． Never place KTS directly on the ground. Sand or dust may cause damage to the screw holes or the centering screw on the base plate.
  • Page 7 3. SAFETY GUIDE Interior EDM（Visible Laser） Warning: The total station is equipped with an EDM of a laser grade of 3R/Ⅲa. It is verified by the following labels: On the vertical tangent screw sticks an indication label “CLASS III LASER PRODUCT”. A similar label is sticked on the opposite side.
  • Page 8 Laser instrument of Class 3R is applicable outdoors and in construction field (measurement, defining lines, leveling). a) Only those persons who are trained with related course and authenticated are allowed to install, adjust, and operate this kind of laser instrument. b) Relevant laser warning symbols should be easily identified within the operating range.

    Adjustment If strict inspection approves that the Instrument Constant K has changed and is not closed to 0. If the operator wants to adjust, should set Stadia Constant according the Constant K. ●Set the direction by using the Vertical Hair to make Point A,B,C on the same line strictly. On Point there must be fixed and clear centering mark.

    instrument is up to grade. Adjustment If there is great difference between the center of reticle and the center of emitting photoelectric axis, the instrument needs repairing. 22.11 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.
