Safety Precautions
Before using this instrument, be sure to read the following precautions
carefully. Pentax cannot be held responsible for problems which result
from failure to observe these precautions.
Г /\ WARNING! В
The following items could cause severe bodily
injury and should be observed at all times.
© Looking directly at the sun without attaching a filter to the telescope can
result in a loss of eyesight. Always use an objective filter when observing
the sun. (When observing the sun, always attach the solar filter, designed
\_ especially for this purpose by Pentax, to the objective lens.) J
/\ CAUTION
The following actions could cause serious dam-
age to the instrument.
© Never remove the hand grip carelessly. If it is detached, reattach it
securely. lf the grip is loosely or incompletely attached, the instrument
could fall and cause a serious injury to occur.
© Make sure not to short the battery terminals. If these are shorted, the
resulting high current would not only damage the battery, but could also start
a fire.
Safety Precautions
Warning!!
© If the telescope is pointed directly at the sun
without an objective lens filter attached, the
internal electronic components could be damaged
by the concentrated energy of the sun. Do not
aim the telescope at the sun without protecting it.
(When making solar observations, always use the
objective lens filter.)
C Never disassemble the instrument or the battery. If
you find a problem, please contact the dealer
where the instrument was purchased, or get in
touch with Pentax.
© lf the instrument or the battery comes in contact
with water, wipe it off as quickly as possible and
set it in a dry place for a while. When it is
completely dry, put it back in the case.
© Always turn off the power when removing the
battery from the instrument. If the battery is
removed with the power left on, the instrument
could be damaged.
© Avoid storing the instrument in locations where
the temperature or humidity is high, or places
which are exposed to direct sunlight.

Removing the battery
Always turn off the power when removing the battery from
the instrument. If the battery is removed with the power left
on, the instrument could be damaged.
Pressing down on the latch button at
the top of the battery, remove the
battery from the instrument. On-Board
Installing the battery
Insert the lower end of the battery in
the groove of the side cover and push
the top of the battery into the side
cover until you hear a click.
Amount of charge left in battery
When the power to the instrument is
turned on, a battery icon " Ë " is
displayed at the right of the display
panel so that the amount of charge left
in the battery can be checked.
zum : The instrument can be used for quite a while before the battery
runs down.
Ef e nee A spare battery should be prepared.
The battery should be replaced very soon.
Change the battery The "Change battery" display will turn off about 5 seconds after it is
displayed. Replace the battery with a spare, or charge the battery.
Before Using Your Instrument
Charging
1.Insert the quick charger (MC04) plug into
an ordinary walt socket.
2.When the charger is connected to the battery
which has been removed from the
instrument(using the connectors provided for
the charger and the battery), the pilot lamp
on the charger blinks and charging begins.
3.About 1.5 hours later the pilot lamp will stop
blinking, indicating that the battery is
completely charged.
4.After charging, remove the charger plug
from the AC power supply and disconnect
the charger from the battery.
Precautions when charging
Display panel
complete.
(OThe battery should be charged at room temperature, within a range of +07T to +457.
If charging is done outside of this regulation range, problems could occur.
(If the pilot lamp does not blink even though the charger is connected to the battery,
there may be something wrong with either the charger or the battery.
(Even though a protective circuit to prevent overcharging is built into the quick charger
(MC04), do not leave the charger plugged into the outlet for a long time after charging is
Precautions regarding storage
could be considerably shortened.
The battery should be charged at least once a month!
CA rechargeable battery can normally be charged repeatedly, from 300 to 500 times.
However, if a battery is stored in fully discharged condition, the useful life of the battery
Cn order to ensure that a battery can be used for a long time, it should be charged at
least once a month. The battery should always be charged just before it is used.
Cif the battery capacity has dropped considerably because it has not been used for a
long time, it has been affected by the storage temperature, or for other reasons, one
charging might not be sufficient to fully charge it.If this happens, the battery shouid be
alternately charged and discharged 3 or 4 times before being used.

11. Special Functions
11-1. About the Special Functions
This instrument is equipped with nine types of special surveying programs, making it extremely simple
to carry out the various types of measurement.
O Distance Stake Out measurement
By inputting the distance to be determined by the machine, thedifference between that
distance and the actual measured value is displayed, for extremely fast distance
measurements.
© Lot Staking measurement
The input distances from the designs, or the measured distance, can be divided into N
equal sections, and the separate sections measured.
© Offset Point measurement
This function enables the widths to the right and left of a center line to be measured
easily, by setting an PCS on the center line. {This can only be used for linear
measurements, not on curves.)
© Remote Elevation measurement (REM)
A prism (base point) positioned almost directly underneath the desired location is
measured, to determine the height to the target object. This makes it easy to
determine the heights of objects such as power cables, bridge suspension cables and
large construction objects.
© Remote Distance measurement (RDM)
This function is used to measure the horizontal distance, height differential, slope
distance, and percentage grade between two prisms set at the base point and the
various measurement points.
O Coordinates measurement
This enables the coordinates of a target point to be determined, using the instrument
point as an origin point. Even without using the instrument point as an origin point, the
coordinates of the instrument point can be input and used to determine the coordinate
values of the target paint.
©O Resection measurement
Two known points (A and B) can be measured to determine the instrument point
coordinates.
O Traverse measurement
Based on given "instrument point coordinates and backsight coordinates” or on
"instrument point coordinates and directional angle", the coordinates of a new point
can be determined.
40
© Coordinate stake out
Based on given "instrument point coordinates, backsight coordinates, and measurement point
coordinates” or on “instrument point coordinates, directional angle of the backsight point, and
measurement point coordinates’, three-dimensional coordinate stake out can be carried out.

15-2. Atmospheric Correction
The speed at which light travels through the air varies depending on the
temperature and atmospheric pressure. The PCS-200 series is designed to
measure distances at the speed of light. In order to measure accurately,
atmospheric correction needs to be used. The instrument is designed to correct
for weather conditions automatically if the temperature and pressure are input.
Correction is then carried out based on the following formula.

15-5. Atmospheric Refraction and Earth Curvature
Correction
@® Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction refers to correcting both
the bending of the light beam caused by atmospheric refraction and the effect
on the height differential and horizontal distance caused by the earth curvature.
@ Correction called “atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction”is
initiated to correct deviation when the slope distance and vertical angle are
used to determine the horizontal distance and the height differential. With
this instrument, the following formula is used to correct these factors.

Appendix
15-6. Distance Range
Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies
considerably depending on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the
performance tables on the following pages illustrate the values for both optimum
and ordinary weather conditions.
It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are “optimum” and
when they are “ordinary”. With this instrument, the conditions noted below are
used to differentiate between the two situations. (Optimum weather conditions
for surveying are different from ordinary weather conditions, and in surveying
situations, cloudy skies are considered more favorable than sunny skies.)
86
Weather conditions for measurement ranges are based on the following standard values:
Normal:Visibility of approximately 20 km, with slight haze
Good: Visibility of approximately 40 km, overcast, no heat haze and moderate wind
