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.
A high-capacity RAM Management
It serves an easy management for file system, including the
increase, deletion and transmission of data.
Non-prism distance measuring
With non-prism distance measuring, this series total station can
be directly to all kinds of material, different colors of objects (such as
the structure of the walls, poles, wires, cliff wall, mountain, clay,
wood, etc.) for long, fast, high precision measurement .This function
is especially for the measurements of targets that cannot be accessed.
Special measurement program
Our total station is equipped with some special measurement
program to meet the needs of professional measuring, such as Remote
Height (REM) Measurement, Offset Measurement, MLM (MLM
Measurement), Resection, Area measurement calculation, Roadway
design and staking out.
Changeable eyepiece
As the eyepiece is changeable, it is convenient to be equipped
with diagonal eyepiece, which makes it easy to observe the zenith
direction high-rise buildings
Laser plummet
Easy to direct the station point and free station
Notice:
Don’t look directly into the sun with the objective lens;
Do not leave the instrument at extreme temperatures (too high or
too low) or use it when thermal shock;
When you don’t use the instrument, should load it in the box and
place it well-ventilate and dry place,and pay attention to the
shock-proof ,dust-proof and damp-proof;
In order to get good precision, you should leave the instrument
in the box to make it adapt the environment when there is a great
difference in temperature between working environment and storage
environment
The battery should be unloaded and charged once a month for
extending its life. If not ，the instrument will not be used for a long

3
term.
When transporting the instrument, you should store it in box and
be careful to avoid extrusion, collision and violent vibration. A soft
mat 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.
After using instrument, please sweep away the surface dust with
flannelette or hairbrush. Do not switch on the device when it has got
wet by rain. Please wipe it dry with clean soft cloth and put it in
ventilated place for a period time to make the equipment fully dry
before using and packing.
Please check out that the indicators, functions, power supply,
initial setting and correction parameters of the instrument meet the
requirements before operating.
If discovering the abnormal function of the instrument,
non-professional maintenance personnel are not allowed to
disassemble the instrument without authorization, in case of any
unnecessary damage.
As a safety precaution, do not aim at eyes directly when using
the instrument.
Security Guide
Please pay attention to the following security matters when using
the instrument with non-prism.
Warning:
Total station is equipped with rangefinders with laser level
3R/IIIa，which is recognized by the following logo recognition at the
horizon-axis locking knob” of the instrument, saying “Class 3A Laser
Product”. The Total Station is classified as Class 3R Laser Product
and abides by the class of Laser Product according to IEC Standard
Publication 60825-1:2001.
For Class 3R/IIIa Laser Product, its emitted laser with
wavelength between 400nm and 700nm can be at most 5 times of that
of Class 2/II.
Warnings:
Never star at laser beam constantly, it could cause permanent eye
damage.
Precautions:
Do not see directly into laser beams nor point laser to persons.
The reflected beams is the necessary for the instrument
measurement signal.

4
Warnings:
It’s dangerous to use Class 3R Laser instrument improperly.
Precautions:
In order to avoid causing damage, the proper precautions should
be taken for you and control well the distance (in accordance with the
standard “IEC60825-1:2001”) that may occur hazards.
The following is the main part of the explanation of the IEC
Standard 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. Prevent anyone from looking directly into laser beams or
watching the laser beams with optical device.
d. In order to prevent laser damage to people, the laser beams
should blocked at the end of the working route. In the limited area (★
Hazardous distances) where the laser beams through ,the laser beams
should be terminated when there are some activities.
e. the route which laser beans through must be set higher or
lower than the sight of people.
f. When the instrument not in use, please make it safekeeping
and storied. Unauthorized person should not use it.
g. To prevent exposure to laser beam accidentally, such as
mirrors, metal surfaces, windows, be careful as the flat surface of the
mirror and concave mirror.
*The hazardous distance refers to the maximum distance which
is from beginning of the laser beams to the laser beam weaken until it
does not harm people. The built-in rangefinder products equipped
with Class 3R/IIIa laser whose hazardous distance is 1000 meters
(3300feet),and in the distance, the strength weakens to a Class 1 laser
(sightseeing beam eyes couldn't hurt).

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. In the building of national
defense, such as battlefield preparations, harbor, forts, airfields, bases
and military construction projects, and so on, must be based on a
detailed and accurate geodetic. In recent years, electronic total station
is a large precision engineering, shipbuilding and aviation industries
and other aspects of effective tools for precise positioning and
installation.
The series total station is equipped with absolute code dial
system, integrated-circuit-control-board ranging item and
microcomputer for measurements of angle and distance and for
calculation, display, depositing and etc. It can exhibit horizontal and
vertical angle, slope and horizontal distance and altitude difference
simultaneously. Furthermore, it can be set to measure under different
mode (e.g. Angle mode, Distance mode).It is even designed for you
specializing in construction projects with non-prism ranging. The
non-prism ranging can be comprehensively used in measuring
three-dimensional coordinates, position determination, remote
elevation measurement (REM), verticality, pipeline positioning,
cross-section measurement etc. It also meets requirements for
trigonometrical control survey, topographic survey, cadastre and real
estate survey.
