WARNING
Continuously looking straight at the laser beam is harmful.
Prevention:
Do not stare at the laser beam or point the laser beam to other’s 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 being 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).
The following shows the explanation related to the key sections of the Standard. Laser instrument of
Class 3R is applicable outdoors and in construction field (measurement, defining lines, leveling).
• Only those persons who are trained with related course and authenticated can install, adjust, and
operate this kind of laser instrument.
• Stand related warning symbols in the scale of use.
• Prevent any person to look straight at or use optical instrument to observe the laser beam.
• 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 is a must.
• The optical path of the laser should be set higher or lower than the line of sight.
• When the laser instrument is not in use, take care of it properly. The person who is not
authenticated is not allowed to use.
• Prevent the laser beam from irradiating plane mirror, metal surface, window, etc.; especially beware
of the surface of plane mirror and concave mirror.
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.

Adjustment
1) If the bubble of the plate vial moves from the center, bring it half way back to the center by
adjusting the leveling screw, which is parallel to the plate vial. Correct the remaining half by
adjusting the screw of plate vial with adjusting pin.
2) Confirm whether the bubble does is in the center by rotating the instrument 180°. If not, repeat
procedure 1.
3) Turn the instrument 90° and adjust the third screw to center the bubble in the vial.
4) Repeat inspection and adjustment steps until the bubble remains in center with the vial in any
direction.
Adjustment
If the bubble of the circular vial is not in the center, bring the bubble to the center by using the adjusting
pin or hexagon wrench to adjust the bubble adjusting screw. First loosen the screw opposite to the
offset side, and then tighten the other adjusting screw on the offset side, bringing the bubble to the
center. After the bubble stays in the center, keep the tightness of the three screws in uniform.
4) Rotate the telescope and sight the same target A precisely in the right position. Press [F4].
5) Setting is finished and the instrument returns to the adjusting menu automatically.
Check the coaxially of sighting axis and emitting photoelectric axis as well as receiving axis
after adjusting.
Adjustment
If the compensation function is not working, send the instrument back to the factory for repair.
15.6. Adjustments of vertical index difference (I angle) and vertical angle 0 datum
Inspect the item after finishing the inspection and adjustment of them 15.3 and 15.5.
Inspection
1) Power on after leveling the instrument. Sight object A in left position and read the vertical angle
value L.
2) Rotate the telescope. Sight object B in right position and read the vertical angle value R.
3) If the vertical angle is 0° in zenith, i = (L+R-360°)/2
If the vertical angle is 0° in horizon. i = (L+R-180°)/2 or i = (L+R-540°)/2.
4) If |i|≥10”, the vertical angle 0 datum shall be set again.
4) Rotate the telescope and sight the same target A precisely (face right). Press F4.
5) Setting is finished and the instrument returns to the adjusting menu automatically.
Note
1) Repeat the inspection steps to measure the index difference (I angle). If the index difference cannot
meet the requirement, you should check whether the three steps of the adjustment are right, the
sight is right etc. Then set again according to the requirement.
It is unnecessary to collimate the prism or the target plane to decide the transverse axis error.
Therefore, user is enabled to launch this adjustment at any time. Select a recognizable point which is
rather far away from the instrument, and much higher or lower than the instrument, with an aim to
precisely measure the point twice.
1) After leveling the instrument, turn on the instrument, and press MENU and [F4] (P↓) to enter
2/2menu.
3) Aim to the target on face I (left position), press [F4] (OK) 10 times. (The obliquity is among ±10° to
±45°) The screen shows as the right graph.
5) After setting, the screen returns to ADJUSTMENT menu. After finishing setting, the screen returns to
the ADJUSTMENT mode.
Adjustment
1) Take off the protective cover between the optical plummet eyepiece and focusing knob.
2) Fix the paper. Rotate the instrument and mark the point of fall of the center of optical plummet on
the paper at every 90°. As illustrated: point A, B, C,D.
3) Draw lines that attach AC and BD and mark the intersection point of the two lines as O.
4) Adjust the four adjusting screws of the optical plummet with an adjusting pin until the center mark
coincides with point O.
Adjustment
If strict inspection approves that the instrument constant K has changed and is not closed to 0. If the
operator wants to adjust, should set stadia constant according the constant K (power on pressing [F1]).
1) Set the direction by using the Vertical Hair to make Point A,B,C on the same line strictly. On point
there must be fixed and clear centering mark.
2) Whether the prism center of point B coincide with the Instrument center the B is the important to
inspect the accuracy. So, on point B tripod or tribrach compatible should be used. That will decrease
the difference.
Inspection
1) Set the reflector 50m from the instrument.
2) Sight the center of the reflector prism with reticle.
3) Power on and enter distance measurement mode. Press[MEAS]to measure.
4) Rotate the horizontal screw and vertical tangent screw, to do electric collimation and make the
light route of EDM unblocked. In the bight zone find the center of emitting photoelectric axis.
5) Check whether the center of reticle coincides with the center of emitting photoelectric axis. If so,
the instrument is up to grade.
Adjustment
If there is great difference between the center of reticle and the center of emitting photoelectric axis,
the instrument need repairing.
WARNING
Looking straight at the laser beam should be always considered as hazardous.
CAUTION
Do not stare at the beam or point it to the other people. Measuring result might also available
even the laser pass through body.
Inspection:
1) A target plate is provided. Set it up between five and 20 meters away with the grey reflective side
facing the instrument.
2) Move the telescope to face II. Switch on the red laser beam by activating the laser-point function.
Use the reticle to align the instrument with the center of the target plate, and then inspect the
position of the red laser dot on the target plate. The red spot cannot be seen through the telescope,
so look at the target plate from just above the telescope or from just to the side of the target plate.
3) If the spot illuminates the cross, the achievable adjustment precision has been reached; if it lies
outside the limits of the cross, the direction of the beam needs to be adjusted.
4) If the spot on the more reflective side of the plate is too bright (dazzling), use the white side instead
to carry out the inspection.
