2. PREPARATION
2.1 Precautions
1). Please do not aim at the sun. If you need to do the outside working under sunshine, please
use a filter.
2). Please do not store the instrument in extreme temperatures and also avoid sudden change.
3). When not using the instrument, please place it in the case to avoid shock, dust, and
humidity.
4). If there is a great difference in temperature between the working place and storage location,
leaving the instrument in the case until it adjust the surrounding temperature.
5). Please remove the battery for separate storage if do not use the instrument for a long time.
The battery should be charged once a month.
6). The instrument should be placed in its carrying case during transportation. It is
recommended that the original packing case should be used for cushioning during extended
transportation.
7). Please hold the instrument in one hand when mounting or removing it from the tripod.
8). Please cleaning the optical parts with cotton or lens tissue only.
9). Please clean the dust with a woolen cloth when finished to use it. If the instrument get wet,
please power off then cleaning the surface and also waiting for drying.
10).Check the battery, functions, and indications of the instrument as well as its initial setting
and correction parameters before operating.
11). Please do not disassemble the instrument without authorize to escape the damage.
12). DO NOT stare into the beam or laser source when instrument is operated.

2.3 Unpacking and Storage of the Instrument
Unpacking of the Instrument
Place the case lightly with the cover upward, unlock the case and take out the instrument.
Storage of the Instrument
Replace the cover on the telescope lens, place the instrument into the case with the
vertical clamp screw and circular vial upward (objective lens toward the tribrach), tighten the
vertical clamp screw, close and lock the case.
2.4 Instrument Set Up
Mount the instrument onto the tripod and secure firmly. Level and center the instrument
precisely to ensure the best performance. Use the tripod with a tripod screw.
Operation Reference: Leveling and Centering the Instrument
1). Setting up the tripod
First extend the extension legs to suitable length and tighten the screws, firmly plant the
tripod in the ground over the point of beginning.
2). Attaching the instrument to the tripod
Secure the instrument carefully on the tripod and slide the instrument by loosening the
tripod mounting screw. If the optical plumb site is positioned over the center of the point
tighten the mounting screw.
3). Roughly leveling the instrument by using the circular vial
Turn the leveling screw A and B to move the bubble in the circular vial, in which case the
bubble is located on a line perpendicular to a line running through the centers of the two
leveling screw being adjusted. Turn the leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of
the circular vial. Recheck the position of the instrument over the point and adjust if needed.
4). Leveling by using the plate vial
Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the

6
plate vial parallel with the line connecting leveling screw A and B, then bring the bubble to the
center of the plate vial by turning the leveling screws A and B.
Rotate the instrument 90°(100gon) around its vertical axis and turn the remaining
leveling screw or leveling C to center the bubble once more.
Repeat the before procedures for each 90°(100gon) rotation of the instrument and check
whether the bubble is correctly centered in all directions.
5). Centering by using the optical plummet(or laser plummet)
Adjust the eyepiece of the optical plummet telescope to your eyesight. Slide the instrument
by loosening the tripod screw; place the point on the center mark of the optical plummet.
Sliding the instrument carefully as to not rotate the axis will allow you to get the least
dislocation of the bubble. (Press ★after power on, then press [▶](LASER) key to turn on the
laser plummet.Slide the instrument by loosening the tripod screw; Place laser facular on the
occupied point, sliding the instrument carefully as to not rotate the axis will allow you to get
the least dislocation of the bubble. The last, press [▶] key, and laser plummet will be turned
off .)
6). Complete leveling the instrument
Level the instrument precisely as in Step 4. Rotate the instrument and check to see that the
bubble is in the center of the plate level regardless of the telescope direction then tighten the
tripod screw firmly.
Press ★key,then press 2 key to enter the E bubble page.

2.5 Battery Removal & Insertion Information and Recharging
Insert the battery into the battery slot and push the battery until it clicks.
Press the right and left buttons of the battery compartment to remove the battery.
Battery information
Please stop the operation when battery is in low voltage, and change a recharged battery
for operation.
Note:
1) The working time of the battery is determined by environment conditions, such as:
surrounding temperature, recharging time and recharging frequency. For safety, recharge the
battery in advance or prepare a recharged battery for use.
2) The display level of leftover battery capacity is related to current measurement
model,even the leftover battery is enough to in angle measurement mode,but you cannot
make sure it is enough to use in distance measurement mode. Because the power
consumption of distance measurement model is higher than angle measurement model,when
turn the angle measurement model to distance measurement model, sometimes it may stop
measure distance and the instrument shut down because of insufficient capacity of battery.
Battery Recharging :
Battery should be recharged only with the specified charger.
The charger should be connected with 220V power supply first when recharging ,then
remove the battery from instrument ,put the plug of the charger into the socket.
Battery Removal Caution
▲Before you take the battery out of the instrument, make sure that the power is
turned off. Otherwise the instrument would be damaged.

8
Recharging Caution
▲The charger has built-in protection circuit 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‵, recharging may be
abnormal beyond the specified temperature range.
▲When the indicator lamp does not light after connecting the battery and charger the
battery or the charger may be damaged.
Storage Caution
▲Complete discharge of battery may shorten its service life.
▲In order to get the maximum service life be sure to recharge the battery at least once a
month.
2.6 Assemble and Disassemble the Tribrach
Disassemble
If necessary, you can disassemble the tribrach from CTS-632R10M. Loosen the tribrach
locking screw in the locking knob by a screwdriver. Turn the locking knob 180 degrees
counter-clockwise to disengage anchor jaws and remove the instrument from the tribrach.

9
Assemble
Insert three anchor jaws into holes and line up the directing stub on the instrument with
the directing slot of the tribrach. Turn the locking knob 180 degrees clockwise and tighten the
locking screw by a screwdriver
2.7 Eyepiece Adjustment and Object Sighting
Method of Object Sighting (for reference)
1) Sight the telescope to the sky and rotate the eyepiece tube to make the reticle clear.
2) Collimate the target point with top of the triangle mark in the collimator.(keep a certain
distance between eye and the collimator).
3) Make the target image clear with the telescope focusing screw.
If there is parallax when your eye moves up and down or left and right this indicates the
diopter of the eyepiece lens or focus is not adjusted well and accuracy will be effected. You
should readjust the eyepiece tube carefully to eliminate the parallax.
2.8 Power On & Off
Power on
1) Be sure that the instrument is leveled.
2) Press and momentarily hold the power (POWER) key.
3) Rotate the EDM head in an upwards direction to initialize.
4) To turn OFF press and hold the power key until instrument powers down
Be sure about there is sufficient battery power when operating
on the display, the battery should be recharged or replaced.
*** DO NOT remove the battery during measuring, otherwise the data will be lost and the
instrument would be harmed!!***
