Page 10: Precautions
PRECAUTIONS Do not collimate the objective lens direct to sunlight without a filter. Do not store the instrument in high and low temperature to avoid the sudden or great change of temperature. When the instrument is not in use, place it in the case and avoid shock, dust and humidity. If the temperature varies greatly between work site and the instrument depository, do not set to work as soon as arrived; leave the instrument in the case for a while till it adapted environment temperature. When storing the instrument long time without use, disconnect the battery from the device. The battery should be charged once a month. Please give special attention to the packing Shock absorption is very important in long distance transportation. For less vibration and better accuracy, the instrument should be set up on a wooden tripod rather than aluminum tripod. ...
Page 11: Battery Notification
BATTERY NOTIFICATION Battery should be recharged only with the charger LC‐01 which comes with the total station. Battery Recharging Cautions： The charger has built‐in circuitry for protection from overcharging. However, do not leave the charger plugged into the power outlet after recharging is completed. Be sure to recharge the battery at a temperature of 0°~±45°C, recharging may be abnormal beyond the specified temperature range. Prohibit the use of any charger or battery that has been damaged. Battery Storage Cautions： Rechargeable battery can be repeatedly recharged 300 to 500 times. Long time totally discharge of a battery may shorten its life. The battery should be ...
Page 12: Safety Guide
SAFETY GUIDE For laser EDM (visible laser) Warning: The total station is equipped with an EDM of a laser grade‐‐‐3R/Ⅲa. It is verified by the following labels. CAUTION LASER RADIATION‐DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM 620‐690nm CLASS Ⅲ LASER PRODUCT Over the vertical tangent screw sticks an indication label “CLASS III LASER PRODUCT”. A similar label is pasted on the opposite side. This product is classified as Class 3R laser product, which accords to the following standards. IEC60825‐1:2001 “SAFETY OF LASER PRODUCTS”. Class 3R/Ⅲ a laser product: It is harmful to observe laser beam continuously. User should avoid sighting the laser at the eyes. It can reach 5 times the emitting limit of . Class2/II with a wavelength of 400mm‐700mm ...
Page 13 Warning: When the laser beam emits on prism, mirror, metal surface, window, etc., it is dangerous to look straight at the reflex. Prevention: Do not stare at the object which reflects the laser beam. When the laser is switched on (under EDM mode), do not look at it on the optical path or near the prism. It is only allowed to observe the prism with the telescope of total station. Warning : Improper operation on laser instrument of Class 3R will bring dangers. ...

How to collimate the targets (For reference) ① Point the telescope toward the light，rotate the eyepiece ring，focalize the telescope so that the crosshair is clearly observed（turn the eyepiece ring to you first and then to focus）. ② Aim the target at the peak of triangle mark of the collimator. Keep a certain space between the collimator and yourself for collimation. ③ Focus the target with the focusing knob until the target is clearly seen and its center is right on the crosshair. If parallax exists between the crosshair and the target when viewing vertically or horizontally through the telescope, focusing is incorrect or diopter adjustment is poor. This adversely affects precision in measurement or survey. So please eliminate the parallax by focusing and using diopter adjustment ...

Page 274 【APPENDIX‐B】CALCULATE ROAD ALIGNMENT The road alignment stake‐out program can stake out the alignment elements including straight, arc and transition curve. NOTE: ●Road alignment data can be uploaded from computer or can be entered manually. Transect data can only be uploaded from computer. ●Road alignment and transect data is managed by chainage. ●One job corresponds to one road alignment, you can use several jobs to create several alignments. 1. ROAD ALIGNMENT ELEMENTS There are two ways to enter the alignment elements: Download from PC. Enter into WinCE(R) series in manual. How to enter the alignment data is explained below: Alignment Element ...
