LASER)
Warning
The total station is equipped with an EDM of a laser
grade of 3R/Ⅲa. It is verified by thefollowing labels.
On the vertical tangent screw sticks an indication label
“CLASS III LASER PRODUCT”.
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.
Warning
Continuously looking straight at the laser beam is
harmful.
Prevention
Do not stare at the laser beam, or point the laser
beam to others‟ eyes. Reflected laser beam is a valid
measurement to the instrument.
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.
Prevention
To avoid to be harmed, each user is required to take
safety precautions, and take everything under control
within the distance that would incur dangers
(according to IEC60825-1:2001).

3
The following shows the explanation related to
the key sections of theStandard.
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 operatethis kind oflaser instrument.
b) Stand related warning symbols in the scaleof use.
c) Prevent any person to look straight at or use optical
instrument to observethe laser beam.
d) To prevent the harm caused by laser, block the
laser beam at the end of the working route. When the
laser beam exceeds the limit area (harmful distance*)
and when there are motivating persons, stopping the
laser beam isa must.
e) The optical path of the laser should be set higheror
lower thanthe line of sight.
f) When the laser instrument is not in use, take care of
it properly. The person who is not authenticated is not
allowed to use.
g) Prevent the laser beam fromirradiatingplane mirror,
metal surface, window, etc., especially beware of the
surface of plane mirror andconcavemirror.
* Harmful distance means the maximum distance
between the start point and the point which the laser is
weakened to a degree that doesn‟t harm people.
The internal EDM instrument equipped with a Class
3R/III a Laser has a harmful distance of 1000m
(3300ft). Beyond this distance, the laser intensity is
weakened to Class I (Looking straight at the laser
beam causes no harmto the eyes.)

Cover the telescope cap, place the instrument into the case with the vertical clamp screw and circular vial
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 up the 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 tighten the tripod.
3) Roughly leveling the instrument by using the circular vial.
a. 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.
b. Turn the leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of the circular vial.

7
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 A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of
the plate vial by turning the leveling screws Aand B.
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 make the reticle distinctly. Hold the other two unfixed legs with both hands and adjust position of
thesetwo legs through observation of opticalplummet. As it approximately aims at the station point,
make all three legs fixed on the ground. Adjust three 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 A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of
the plate vial by turning the leveling screws Aand 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.

8
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 red, the recharging process is on. When recharging is complete, the indicator lamp turnsgreen.
2) Before removing thebattery 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 single prism or triple prisms, which can be mounted with tribrach onto a tripod or mounted onto a
prism pole. Reflector system can be self-configured by users according to the job.
2.5 MOUNTINGAND 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.

9
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 [BS] 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
inputting scale is full, it cannot be input anymore.
When anABC is displayed on the upper right corner of the screen, capital letters can be input via the
keypad. While 123 is displayed, numbers can be input. When abc is displayed, lowercase letters can be
input. In any measurement screens or screens that need to be input manually, press [MODE] to shift
between alphabet mode and numeric mode.
In letter inputting mode, 3 letters are set in one key. Every pressing can display one of the letters in the
cursor. For example, inABC mode, press [9] 3 times to input the letter of I.
Characters that have been input can be edited. Press [ ] to move the cursor to the item that needs to be
edited, the cursor will stay on the character and twinkle, input the new character.
2.8 LEVELING
As the tilt sensor is activated, automatic correction of vertical angle for mislevelment is displayed.
To ensure a precise angle measurement, tilt sensor must be activated. The display can be used to fine
level the instrument.

10
If the instrument hasn‟t been leveled roughly, the screen displays that the instrument is out of the
automatic correction range, and that it needs to be leveled manually. Please refer to “2.2 Instrument
Setup” for detailed leveling instruction.
RCS compensates the vertical angle reading as well as both vertical and horizontal angle reading due to
inclination of the vertical axis in the X direction and XY directions.
Press 0 to enter to automatic compensation
function.
Rotate the foot screws to make both values
within 1‟.
Press [▼] to turn on/off the laser plummet
When the instrument isplaced 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 mustbe leveled at first, so as to enter other functions.
