Precaution
1) If the instrument has not been used for a long time, check it
regularly(3 monthes).
2) Avoid shocking or bumping.
3) No using in high dusty, not well ventilated, and easy burning
environment.
4) No dismount and mount the instrument by yourselves.
5) Prohibit to see the sun with telescope.
6) Cover with umbrella in burning sun or rainy day.
7) Cover the instrument with rainy cover.
8) Power off before taking off battery, or the data will be lost.
9) Place instrument the case and avoid humidity.
10) Prohibit move the instrument with tripod.
11) It will cause measuring result is not correct if there is leaves
and obstacle between the target and the instrument.
12) Place the instrument like the picture below:
13) Contact me if you got any problem.

RS232 is used to connect the Theodolite with computer or PC to
transfer measured data to computer or PC.
2. Battery
2.1 Battery Replacement
1. Battery Insert
Insert battery correctly. Check and
insert battery holder true to side into
the housing.

2. Battery Removement
Remove battery and replace.
2.2 Battery Recharging
1. Insert recharger into battery’s hole.
2. Insert the plug of the recharger into 220VAC power supply. It
shows green light after finishing recharging.
3. Cut the power supply of the recharger and drew the battery out
from the recharger.
3. Measurement Preparation
3.1 Instrument Setting Up
1. Setting up the tripod.Pull out to
required length and tighten screws.

2. Place the INSTRUMENT onto
the tripod head. Tighten central fixing
screw of tripod.
3.2 Instrument leveling
1.Level the instrument with circular vial
a. Turn the leveling screw A and B
to move the bubble in the circular vail.
The bubble is now 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 bring
the bubble to the center of the circular
vail.
2. Level the instrument with plate vial
a. Rotate the instrument horizontally
by loosening the Horizontal Clamp
Screw and place the plate vial parallel with the line connecting
leveling screw A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of
the plate vial by turning the leveling screwsA and B.

b. Rotate the instrument 90º (100g) around its vertical axis and
turn the remaining leveling screw or leveling C to center the
bubble once more.
c. Repeat the procedures 1& 2 for each 90º (100g) rotation of the
instrument and check the whether the bubble is correctly centered
for all four points.
3.3 Centering by optical 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 not to rotate that allows you to get the
least dislocation of the bubble.
Note:Centering by foot screw first and then leveled-up by
tripod.

3.4 EyepieceAdjustment and Object Sighting
1. Sight the Telescope to the sky and rotate the eyepiece tube to
make the reticle clear.
2. Make the target image clear with the telescope focusing
screw. If there parallax when your eye move up, down or left,
right, that show the diopter of eyepiece lens or focus is not
adjusted well and accuracy will be influenced, so you should
adjust the eyepiece tube carefully to eliminate the parallax.

③Aim at the second target
B. The required V/H angle

displayed.
★Press ENT,the vertical and horizontal angle can be sent out
through RS232.
How to Collimate (Reference)
1. Point the telescope toward the light. Turn the diopter ring and
adjust the diopter so that the cross hairs are clearly observed.
(Turn the diopter toward you first and then backward to focus).
2. Aim the target at the peak of the triangle mark of the sighting
collimator. Allow a certain space between the sighting collimator
and yourself for collimating.
3. Focus the target with the focusing knob.If parallax is created
between the cross hairs and the target when viewing vertically or
horizontally while looking into the telescope, focusing is
incorrect or diopter adjustment is poor. This adversely affects
