upwards (Objective lens towards tribrach), and slightly tighten the vertical clamp screw and lock the case.
2.2 INSTRUMENT SETUP
Mount the instrument on a tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely.
Operation Reference:
1. Leveling and Centering the Instrument by plumb bob.
1) Setting upthe tripod
a. Extend the legs to suitable length, make the tripod head approximately leveld to the ground and
tighten the leg screws.
b. Make the center of the tripod and the occupied point approximately on the same plumb line.
c. Step on the tripod to make sure if it is well stationed on the ground.
2) Fix the instrument on the tripod.
Place the instrument carefully on the tripod head and slide the instrument by loosening the tripod
screw. If the plumb bob is positioned right over the center of the point, slightly tightenthe tripod.
3) Roughly leveling the instrument by using the circular vial.
a. Turn the leveling screwAand 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.
b. Turn the leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of the circular vial.
4) Precisely leveling by using the plate vial.
a. Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the plate
vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw Aand B, and then bring the bubble to the center of
the plate vial by turning the leveling screwsA and B.

8
b. Rotate the instrument 90º (100gon) around its vertical axis and turn the remaining leveling screw
or leveling C to center the bubble once more.
c. Repeat the steps a and b for each 90º (100gon) rotation of the instrument and check whether the
bubble is correctly centered in all directions.
2. Centering by using the optical plummet.
1) Set tripod
Lift tripod to suitable height, ensure equal length of three legs, spread and make tripod head parallel
to the ground, and place it right above the measurement station point. Prop up tripod on the ground
and fix one leg.
2) Install instrument and collimate the point
Set instrument carefully on tripod, tighten the central connecting screw and adjust optical plummet to
makethereticle distinctly.Holdtheothertwounfixedlegswith bothhandsandadjust positionofthese
two legs through observation of optical plummet. As it approximately aims at the station point, make
all three legs fixed on the ground.Adjustthree leg screws of the instrument to make optical plummet
collimate precisely to the station point.
3) Use circular vial to roughly level the instrument.
Adjust length of three legs of tripod; make the circular vial bubble of the instrument in the middle.
4) Use plate vial to level the instrument accurately.
a. Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the plate
vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw Aand B, and then bring the bubble to the center of
the plate vial by turning the leveling screwsA and B.
b. Rotate the instrument 90° , make it perpendicular to the connecting line of level screws A and B.
Turn level screw C to make the bubble of the plate vial in the middle.
5) Precisely centering and leveling
Through observation of optical plummet, slightly loosen the central connecting screw and move the
instrument evenly (Don’t rotate the instrument), making the instrument precisely collimating to the
station point. Then tighten the central connecting screw and level the instrument precisely again.
Repeat this operation till the instrument collimate precisely to the measurement station point.

2.3 BATTERY
TIPS
1) The battery operating time depends on the environmental conditions such as ambient temperature,
charging time, times of charging and discharging etc. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before
operation or prepare spare batteries.
2) Distance measurement consumes more power than angle measurement.
3) When the measurement mode is changed, the battery power will not immediately show the decrease or
increase. The battery power indicating system shows the general status but not the instantaneous change
of battery power.
CAUTIONS
1) Use the original charger HC-III.
Remove the on-board battery and connect it to battery charger. When the indicator light on the battery
charger is orange, the recharging process is on. When recharging is complete, the indicator lamp turns
green.
2) Before removing the battery from the instrument, make sure that the power is turned off. Otherwise, the
instrument may be damaged.
3) The charger has built-in circuitry for protection from overcharging. However, do not leave the charger
plugged into the power after recharging is completed.
Be sure to recharge the battery at a temperature from 0° to 45° C. Recharging may be abnormal beyond
specified temperature range.
When the indicator light does not light after connecting the battery and charger, either the battery or the
charger may be damaged. Please contact technician for repairing.
4) Rechargeable battery can be recharged 300 to 500 times. Complete discharge of the battery may
shorten its life.
In order to get the maximum life, be sure to recharge it at least once a month.
2.4 REFLECTORS
When measuring distance, a reflector needs to be placed at the target place. Reflector system comes with
singleprismor tripleprisms, whichcanbe mounted withtribrachontoatripod ormountedonto aprismpole.
Reflector system can be self-configured by users according to the job.
2.5 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
Dismounting
If necessary, the instrument (including reflector prisms with the same tribrach) can be dismounted from
tribrach. Loosen the tribrach locking screw in the locking knob with a screwdriver. Turn the locking knob
about 180° counter-clockwise to disengage anchor jaws, and take off the instrument from tribrach.

10
Mounting
Insert three anchor jaws into holes in tribrach and line up the directing stub with the directing slot. Turn the
locking knob about 180° clockwise and tighten the locking screw with a screwdriver.
2.6 EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT AND COLLIMATING OBJECT
Method of CollimatingAn Object (for reference)
1) Sight the Telescope to bright place and rotate the eyepiece tube to make the reticle clear.
2) Collimate the target point with top of the triangle mark in the coarse collimator. (Keep a certain
distance between eye and the coarse collimator).
3) Make the target image clear with the telescope focusing screw.
If there is parallax when your eye moves up, down or left, right, it means the diopter of eyepiece lens or
focus is not well adjusted and accuracy will be influenced. You should adjust the eyepiece tube carefully to
eliminate the parallax.
2.7 INPUTTING MODE
All characters can be input in the screen.
Press [ ] to delete one character in the left of the cursor.
When the inputting scale is wider than the screen, it can be moved to left automatically. When the

If there’s alignment data in internal memory, PtID can be input via chainage number. Please refer to “7.7.8
Setting Station”.
The method to input code can be input manually, called up from list and stack. The operational method is
same as that of PtID inputting.
2.9 LEVELING
As the tilt sensor is activated, automatic correction of vertical angle for mislevelment is displayed.

If the instrument hasn’t been leveled roughly, the screen displays that the instrument is out of the automatic
correctionrange, and that it needs to be leveled manually. Please refer to “2.2 Instrument Setup” for detailed
leveling instruction.
R2 Series compensates the vertical anglereading as wellas both vertical and horizontal angle reading due
to inclination of the vertical axis in the X direction and XY directions.

When the instrument is placed on an unstable stage or in a windy weather condition, the display of
vertical angle is unstable. You can switch off the auto tilt correction function of vertical angle.
If the mode of auto correction is ON, in the condition that the instrument has not been leveled, the
program will demand that the instrument must be leveled at first, so as to enter other functions.
