2. PRECAUTIONS
Tribrach Clamp When the instrument is shipped, the tribrach clamp is held firmly in place with a locking screw to prevent the instrument from shifting on the levelling base. Before using the instrument the first time, loosen this screw with a screwdriver. And before transporting it, tighten the locking screw to fasten the tribrach clamp in place so that it will not shift on the levelling base. Precautions concerning water and dust resistance SET conforms to IP66 specifications for waterproofing and dust resistance when the battery cover is closed and connector caps are attached correctly. Be sure to close the battery cover and correctly attach the connector caps to protect the SET from moisture and dust particles. Make sure that moisture or dust particles do not come in contact with the inside of the battery cover, terminal or connectors. Contact with these parts may cause damage to the instrument. Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry before closing the case. If moisture is trapped inside the case, it may cause the instrument to rust. Other precautions If the SET is moved from a warm place to an extremely cold place, internal parts may contract and make the keys difficult to operate. This is caused by cold air trapped inside the hermetically sealed casing. If the keys do not depress, open the battery cover to resume normal functionality. To prevent the keys from becoming stiff, remove the connector caps before moving the SET to a cold place. Never place the SET directly on the ground. Sand or dust may cause damage to the screw holes or the centering screw on the base plate. Do not aim the telescope at the sun. Use the Solar filter to avoid causing internal damage to the instrument when observing the sun. "27.2 Optional Accessories" Protect the SET from heavy shocks or vibration. Never carry the SET on the tripod to another site. Turn the power off before removing the battery.
2. PRECAUTIONS When placing the SET in its case, first remove its battery and place it in the case in accordance with the layout plan. Maintenance Always clean the instrument before returning it to the case. The lens requires special care. First, dust it off with the lens brush to remove tiny particles. Then, after providing a little condensation by breathing on the lens, wipe it with the wiping cloth. If the display is dirty, carefully wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. To clean other parts of the instrument or the carrying case, lightly moisten a soft cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring out excess water until the cloth is slightly damp, then carefully wipe the surface of the unit. Do not use any organic solvents or alkaline cleaning solutions. Store the SET in a dry room where the temperature remains fairly constant. Check the tripod for loose fit and loose screws. If any trouble is found on the rotatable portion, screws or optical parts (e.g. lens), contact your SOKKIA agent. When the instrument is not used for a long time, check it at least once every 3 months. 26. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS When removing the SET from the carrying case, never pull it out by force. The empty carrying case should be closed to protect it from moisture. Check the SET for proper adjustment periodically to maintain the instrument accuracy.

6. USING THE BATTERY

6.1 Battery Charging
The battery has not been charged at the factory.
Do not leave the battery in places exposed to high temperatures (more than 35C). Doing so may reduce the life of the battery. Charge the battery once a month to maintain its quality when not in use for long periods. Do not charge the battery just after charging is completed. Battery performance may decline. If you allow the battery level to get too low, the battery may not be rechargeable or operating time may decline. Keep the battery always charged. The charger will become rather hot during use. This is normal.
PROCEDURE
1. Plug the charger into the wall outlet (110 to 240V AC). 2. Mount the battery (BDC46A) in the charger (CDC61/62/64) by matching the grooves on the battery with the guides on the charger. When charging starts, the lamp starts blinking. 3. Charging takes approximately 2 hours (25C). The lamp lights when charging is finished. 4. Unplug the charger and remove the battery.
22
6. USING THE BATTERY
Slots 1 and 2:
The charger starts charging the battery mounted first. If you place two batteries in the charger, the battery in slot 1 is charged first, and then the battery in slot 2. (step 2) Charging lamp: The charging lamp is off when the charger is outside the charging temperature range or when the battery is mounted incorrectly. If the lamp is still off after the charger falls within its charging temperature range and the battery is mounted again, contact your Sokkia agent. (steps 2 and 3) Charging time Charging can take more than 2 hours when temperatures are either especially high or low.

11. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

Perform the following settings as preparation for distance measurement. Distance measurement mode Target type Prism constant correction value Atmospheric correction factor EDM ALC 24.1 Changing Instrument Options EDM Settings / Settings in Config Mode
CAUTION
When using the Laser-pointer function, be sure to turn OFF the output laser after distance measurement is completed. Even if distance measurement is canceled, the Laser-pointer function is still operating and the laser beam continues to be emitted. (After turning ON the Laser-pointer, the laser beam is emitted for 5 minutes, and then automatically switches OFF. But in the Status screen and when target symbol (ex. ) is not displayed in the Meas mode, the laser beam is not automatically turned off. )
Make sure that the target setting on the instrument matches the type of target used. SET automatically adjusts the intensity of the laser beam and switches the distance measurement display range to match the type of target used. If the target does not correspond to the target settings, accurate measurement results cannot be obtained. Accurate measurement results cannot be obtained if the objective lens is dirty. Dust it off with the lens brush first, to remove minute particles. Then, after providing a little condensation by breathing on the lens, wipe it off with the wiping cloth. During reflectorless measurement, if an object with a high reflective factor (metal or white surface) is positioned between the SET and the target, accurate measurement results may not be received.
37
11.1
Returned Signal Checking
Check to make sure that sufficient reflected light is returned by the reflective prism sighted by the telescope. Checking the returned signal is particularly useful when performing long distance measurements.
When the light intensity is sufficient even though the center of the reflective prism and the reticle are slightly misaligned (short distance etc.), * will be displayed in some cases, but in fact, accurate measurement is impossible. Therefore make sure that the target center is sighted correctly.
PROCEDURE
1. Allocate the [AIM] softkey to the Meas mode screen. "24.2 Allocating Key Functions" 2. Accurately sight the target. 3. Press [AIM]. <Aiming> is displayed. The intensity of the light of the returned signal is displayed by a gauge. The more displayed, the greater the quantity of reflected light.

13. RESECTION MEASUREMENT Resection calculation process The NE coordinates are found using angle and distance observation equations, and the instrument station coordinates are found using the method of least squares. The Z coordinate is found by treating the average value as the instrument station coordinates.
57
13. RESECTION MEASUREMENT Precaution when performing resection In some cases it is impossible to calculate the coordinates of an unknown point (instrument station) if the unknown point and three or more known points are arranged on the edge of a single circle. An arrangement such as that shown below is desirable. : Unknown point : Known point It is sometimes impossible to perform a correct calculation in a case such as the one below.
When they are on the edge of a single circle, take one of the following measures. (1) Move the instrument station as close as possible to the center of the triangle. (2) Observe one more known point which is not on the circle. (3) Perform a distance measurement on at least one of the three points.
In some cases it is impossible to calculate the coordinates of the instrument station if the included angle between the known points is too small. It is difficult to imagine that the longer the distance between the instrument station and the known points, the narrower the included angle between the known points. Be careful because the points can easily be aligned on the edge of a single circle.

14. SETTING-OUT MEASUREMENT

Setting-out measurement is used to set out the required point. The difference between the previously input data to the instrument (the settingout data) and the measured value can be displayed by measuring the horizontal angle, distance or coordinates of the sighted point. The horizontal angle difference and distance difference are calculated and displayed using the following formulae. Horizontal angle difference dHA = Horizontal angle of setting-out data - measured horizontal angle Distance difference Distance Displayed item Sdist: S-O S =measured slope distance - slope distance of setting-out data Hdist: S-O H =measured horizontal distance - horizontal distance of settingout data Vdist: S-O V =measured height difference - height difference of setting-out data Setting out data can be input in various modes: slope distance, horizontal distance, height difference, coordinates and REM measurement. In slope distance, horizontal distance, height difference, and coordinate mode, registered coordinates can be recalled and used as setting-out coordinates. In slope distance, horizontal distance and height difference, S/H/V distances are calculated from the read in setting-out coordinate, instrument station data, instrument height, and target height. Setting-out measurement can be carried out effectively using the Guide light. "4.1 Parts of the Instrument", "5.1 Basic Key Operation" and "27.2 Optional Accessories"

17. OFFSET MEASUREMENT

Offset measurements are performed in order to find a point where a target cannot be installed directly or to find the distance and angle to a point which cannot be sighted. It is possible to find the distance and angle to a point you wish to measure (target point) by installing the target at a location (offset point) a little distance from the target point and measuring the distance and angle from the surveying point to the offset point. The target point can be found in the three ways explained below.
17.1
Single-distance Offset Measurement
Finding it by entering the horizontal distance from the target point to the offset point.
When the offset point is positioned to the left or right of the target point, make sure the angle formed by lines connecting the offset point to the target point and to the instrument station is almost 90. When the offset point is positioned in front of or behind the target point, install the offset point on a line linking the instrument station with the target point.
