  • Page 2 Preface Thank you for purchasing our DM-100 series total station! This manual is your good helper, please read it before operating the instrument and keep it properly. Product Validation In order to get our best service, please give the feedback about the version, number, purchasing date of the instrument and your valuable suggestions to us after you purchase our product.
  • Page 3 Features Rich Features--our total station carries abundant surveying application, at the same time has the functions of data storage, parameter settings and etc. It‘s suitable for all kinds of professional measurements. Absolute code disc Equipped with absolute code disc, the instrument can measure after switched on .Even if reset the battery halfway, the azimuth information will not be lost.
  • Page 4 around the boxes is required for long-distance transport. When setting the instrument, it‘s better to work with high-quality wooden tripod for stability and measurement accuracy. In order to improve the precision of Non-Prism measurement, please keep the object lens clean. When cleaning exposed optical devices, please wipe them gently with absorbent cotton or lens paper only.
  • Page 5 Publication: Class 3R Laser Products are used in outdoors and on building site (with non-prism measurements). The personnel who are specially trained, qualified and authenticated are allowed to stall, adjust and operate these laser instruments. b. Set up corresponding laser warning signs in the use of area range. c.

  • Page 11: Use Of Instrument

    1. Use of instrument The total station is such an instrument that measures the azimuth and distances to destination and can calculate the destination point coordinates automatically. It plays an important role in the economic construction and national defense construction. General Survey, exploration and mining of minerals, the construction of railways, roads, bridges, irrigation, urban planning and construction is driven by electronic total station measurements.
