Five different special measurements are available in distance mode with simple key operations.
“SHOT MEASUREMENT
Measurements in standard mode are automatically repeated.
The measured value is displayed every several seconds. In shot measurement, number of
Measuremnts can be selected in tha initial settings (single, 3 timas, 3 times and averano, and
> bes and average) The beam emission stops after the specified number of measurements
Is performed. This helps save battery power.
OSTAKE-OUT MEASUREMENT
The difference between a set distance and measured distance can be displayed, by entering
Ihe set distance.
“REMOTE ELEVATION MEASUREMENT (REM)
REM can be used to quickly measure the height of power transmission line, bridges or other
targets on which the reflecting prism can not be located, by placing the prism right under the
target
"REMOTE DISTANCE MEASUREMENT (RDM)
ADM can be used to measure the horizontal and slope distances, difference in height and
percentage of grade belween two targel points.
“COORDINATES MEASUREMENT
The coordinates values (N.E,Z) of the target paint can be measured and displayed. The known
station coodinales can be entered

it through the telescope.
(2) Loosen the telescope clamp screw and reverse the telescope around the vertical axis.
Mark a point sel on the line of sight at about the same distance lo the object point A,
and call it point 8.
(3) Loosen the upper clamp screw, and rotate the instrument around the vertical axis. Sight
point A again.
(4) Loosen the telescope clamp screw, and reverse the telescope around the horizontal axis.
Mark a point on the line of sight at around the same distance as point 8, and call it point
C. (The telescope is now in its normal position.)
(5) No adjustment is necessary il points B and C coincide.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
18-6 Optical plummet
(Inspection)
(1) Set the instrument on the tripod, and place a piece of while paper with a cross drawn
on it right under the instrument.
(2) Look through the oplical plummet, and move the paper so that the intersecting point of
the cross comes to the center of the field of view.
(3) Adjust the leveling screws so that the center mark of the opticat plummet coincides with
the intersecting point of the cross.
(4) Rotate the instrument around the vertical axis. Look through the opticat plummet each
90° of rotation, and observe the center mark position agains! the intersecting point of the
Cross.
(5) If the center mark always coincides with the intersecting point, no adjustment is necessary.

APPENDIX
19-2 Atmospheric corrections
The velocity of the EDM beam, traveling through the atmosphere varies according to the
temperature and atmospheric pressure. Corrections of both factors are necessary in order
to measure the distance precisely, because distance measurement is based on the velocity
of the beam.
The PCS displays the automalically compensated value once the prevailing temperature and
atmospheric pressure are entered. The formula of compensation is as follows.
79.55626-P
K = (279.75207- —

e The effects of atmospheric refraction and earth curvature can be aulomatically compen-
sated lor measurements of horizontal distance and difference in height.
e Compensation for atmospheric refraction and earth curvature is provided according to the
following formula.

APPENDIX
19-4 Distance measurement range
Distance measurement range is affected by the surrounding atmospheric conditions. So, the
specification refers to two different measurement ranges under different conditions. Gener-
al classification of atmospheric conditions are described below.
-— =ж —
Normal: 15kms visibility with slight haze.
Good: 30kms visibility, overcast, no heat haze and moderate wind
* Cloudy weather is mora suitable for dislance measurement than fine weather.
