USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the Electronic

Total Station R-200 series product which you have purchased will provide long-lasting maximum performance, the precautions in this manual must be followed. Make sure to follow these instructions and use this product properly at all times.

[Solar observation]

WARNING

Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of sight.

Never point the objective lens directly at the sun as this may damage internal components.

When using the instrument for solar observation, be sure to attach the specially designed solar filter (MU64) to the objective lens.

[Laser beam]

Do not stare into the laser beam. R-200 is a Class IIIa (3R) Laser product.

[EDM axis]

The R-200 series EDM is a red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very small.

The beam is emitted from the objective centre. The EDM axis is designed to coincide with the telescope sight axis (but both axes may deviate slightly because of intense temperature changes and a long time lapse).

[Target constant]

Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement.

If a different constant is to be used, use the correct constant of the target. The constant is stored in the instrument's memory when turned off.

[Reflectorless and reflector sheet]

• Reflectorless (Non-Prism)

The measurement range and accuracy of the Reflectorless mode are based on the condition that laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of a Kodak Gray Card.

The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.

There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions above at survey work.

• There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may not be performed by dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from a diagonal angle.

• There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the distance when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road.

• There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or sphere or rugged shape.

• There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the distance by collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in front of the target.

• There is a possibility that the distance may not be correctly measured when measuring a target in the direction where there is a reflecting object (mirror, stainless board, white wall, etc.) or under too strong sunlight.

• In a situation where high accuracy may not be expected, perform the measurement by

Reflector sheet or Prism.

• When using reflector sheet, set the reflector sheet to have its surface to be approx. vertical to the aiming line. If it is positioned not to be approx. right angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurements may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam.

In the following environments, the distance may not be possible to be measured; there is a reflecting thing (mirror, stainless board, white wall, etc.) in the direction of the target, and under too strong sunlight

[Battery & charger]

• Do not use any battery or battery charger that is not approved by Pentax as it entails a risk of damaging the instrument.

• If water should happen to splash on the instrument or the battery, wipe it off immediately and allow it to dry in a dry location. Do not put the instrument in the case until it is completely dry as this may result in damage to the instrument.

• Turn off the power when removing the battery from the instrument as removing the battery while the power is still on may result in damage to the instrument.

• The battery mark displayed on the instrument is only an estimation of remaining battery power and is not completely accurate. Replace the battery quickly when it is about to run out of power as the time a battery lasts on one full charge differs depending on conditions of ambient temperature, and the measurement mode of the instrument.

• Confirm the battery level remaining before operating.

[Storage and operating environment]

• To prevent making short-circuit when removing the battery and charger from the case and storing them, apply electric resistant tape to the poles of the battery. Storing the battery and charger as it may result in fire or burn injury due to short-circuit.

• Avoid storing the instrument in places subject to extreme high, low or radically fluctuating temperature. (Ambient temperature range during use: –20° C to +50° C)

• Distance measurements may take longer when atmospheric conditions are poor such as when heat shimmer occurs. When storing the instrument, always put it in its case and avoid storage in dusty location or location subject to vibration or extreme heat or humidity.

• Whenever there is a sharp temperature difference between the instrument’s storage and usage environment, allow the instrument to adjust to the environment for an hour or more before using it. Make sure to protect the instrument from the sun if the location is subject to intense direct sunlight.

• The battery should be charged approximately once per month if the instrument is to be stored for an extended period of time. The instrument should also be removed from its case occasionally and aired out.

• In addition to these precautions, be sure to handle the instrument properly at all times following the descriptions given in the various sections of this manual to assure safe and proper measurements.

[Transporting and carrying the instrument]

• Be careful to protect this instrument from shock of impact and excessive vibration which may result in damage during transportation and shipment.

• When transporting the instrument, always put it in the case and wrap shock absorbing material around it and be sure it is handled as “FRAGILE”.

[Checks and repairs]

• Always check the instrument before beginning work and check that the instrument is maintaining the proper level of precision. Pentax bears absolutely no responsibility for damages due to survey results obtained from surveys conducted without an initial instrument check.

• Never disassemble the instrument, battery or charger, even if you do detect an abnormality, as there is a risk of fire or electric shock due to short-circuit. If you think the product requires repair, contact the retail outlet where you purchased it or an authorized repair site.

6. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

6.1 Target setting

The target mode and its Constant of current setting are shown at the left of the battery mark. For example in case of each Constant 0, Reflectorless

(Non-Prism); N 0, Prism; P 0

Pressing [F2] [TARGET] changes the target mode.

• The target mode is changed sequentially as follows.

Reflector sheet - Prism - Reflectorless

• The selected target mode is stored in the memory even if the power is turned off.

So, next time you can use the same mode after turning on.

• The target Constant differs according to the selected target mode. So, confirm the target mode and its Constant shown at the top screen after changing the target.

[Distance measurement by reflectorless (Non-Prism) mode]

• The measurement range and accuracy of Reflectorless are based on the condition that laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of the Kodak Gray Card. The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment. There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions above at survey work.

• Pay attention to the following in case of distance measurement by Reflectorless.

In case of resulting in low accuracy, perform the distance measurement by Prism.

• The CODE number 521 [LONG RANGE MES.] shows ON/OFF.

• The WARNING (Laser Power) screen is displayed when Message ON is selected, and then

[F1] [MEAS] key is pressed.

• Pressing [F1] [MEAS] one time selects “Second MEAS setting” and twice selects “QUIT”.

①

There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from diagonal angle.

②

There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road.

③ There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or sphere or rugged shape.

④ There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in front of the target.

[Distance measurement by reflector sheet mode]

Position the Reflector sheet whose reflecting surface faces the aiming line to be approx. right angle when the distance is measured by it. If it is positioned not to be approx. right angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam.

[Applied measurement range by each target mode]

• When a wrong target mode is selected, a correct distance cannot be measured.

Please select a correct target mode and measure.

• It is sometimes possible to measure without prism under special conditions like in the close distance, targeting on a wall surface. However, there is a possibility including some errors in this case, so be sure to select the reflectorless mode.

• The target constant should be correctly selected and confirmed in case that the reflector sheet is used at the prism mode and the prism is used at the reflector sheet mode.

6.2 Distance measurement

The R-200 series has two distance measurement modes of primary MEAS and second MEAS.

Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] one time goes to primary MEAS and twice goes to second MEAS.

You can freely select and allocate your desired measurement mode in primary MEAS and second MEAS by the initial setting 2. The “MEASURE SHOT” is set at primary MEAS and

“TRACK CONT” is set at second MEAS as a factory default setting.

• MEASURE SHOT means the distance measurement by the shot mode.

• MEASURE CONT means the distance measurement by the continuous mode.

• TRACK SHOT means the fast distance measurement by the shot mode.

• TRACK CONT means the fast distance measurement by the continuous mode.

Confirm the target constant before beginning the distance measurement.

Example: “MEASURE SHOT”at primary MEAS (Factory default setting)

Collimate the telescope at a target and press the [F1]

[MEAS] once to start measuring the distance. Once distance measurement has been started, the distance measurement mark remains displayed. Upon reception of a reflected light from the target, the instrument beeps and displays the mark to start the shot measurement automatically.

• If the instrument is in MODE B, press the [F5] [MODE] to switch to MODE A and press

[F1] [MEAS].

• Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] after collimating the telescope at the prism starts shot distance measurement with the “MEAS” text blinking. Distance measurement is completed and the

“MEAS” text stops blinking the moment the distance measured by shot measurement is displayed. During continuous measurement, the “MEAS” text keeps on blinking. Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] again terminates both distance measurement and blinking of the “MEAS” text.

• Pressing [F4] [DISP] cycles through the sets of display items:“H.angle/H.dst./V.dst.”,

“H.angle/V.angle/S.dst.”, and “H.angle/V.angle/H.dst./S.dst./V.dst.”

• Pressing the [ESC] or [F2] [TARGET] or [F5] [MODE] during distance measurement stops it.

• If the shot count for distance measurement has been set to 2 or more in “initial setting 2”, the distance is measured for the specified number of times to display the averaged value.

Example: “TRACK CONT” at second MEAS (Factory default setting)

Collimate the telescope at a Target and press [F1] [MEAS] twice to start measuring the distance. Upon reception of a reflected light from the target, the instrument beeps and displays the mark to start the TRACK distance measurement.

• If the instrument is in MODE B, press [F5] [MODE] to switch to MODE A and press [F1]

[MEAS ] twice.

• Pressing [F1] [MEAS] twice after collimating the telescope at the Target starts Continuous distance measurement at fast speed with the “MEAS” text blinking.

It remains blinking during the measurement. If you press the [F1] [MEAS] again, Distance measurement is completed and the “MEAS” text stops blinking.

• Pressing [F4] [DISP] cycles through the sets of display items:“H.angle/H.dst./V.dst.”,

“H.angle/V.angle/S.dst.”, and “H.angle/V.angle/H.dst./S.dst./V.dst.”

• Pressing the [ESC] or [F2] [TARGET] or [F5] [MODE] during fast distance measurement stops it.

6.3 Quick mode

The Quick Mode is to shorten the measuring time using prism or reflector sheet.

• The Quick Mode is to short the prism's measuring time.

• The Quick Mode is effective to measure the distance up to 500m using prism or reflector sheet.

• After selecting Quick Mode from the Quick Mode setting screen, the distance measurement is done in Quick Mode.

• If the Quick Mode is selected, the distance measurement mark, "<-<- ->->", instead of

"((( )))", is displayed

13.2 Atmospheric Correction

The speed at which light travels through the air varies depending on the temperature and atmospheric pressure. The R-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.

K: Atmospheric Correction Constant

P: Atmospheric pressure (hPa) t: Temperature(°C)

Distance after Atmospheric Correction D = Ds (1+K)

Ds: Measured distance when no Atmospheric Correction is used.

13.4 Error when no Atmospheric Correction is made

When measurement is carried out with no Atmospheric Correction (with the settings fixed at a temperature of 15°C and an atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa or 760 mmHg), the Error per

100 meters in temperature and pressure will be shown in the tables below.

●

When the actual pressure is 1013 hPa (760 mmHg) and the temperature is 25°C, conducting the measurement with the temperature left at 15°C will result in the measurement being short by 0.9 mm per 100 meters.

13.5 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 error when the slope distance and vertical angle are caused to determine the horizontal distance and the height differential, with this instrument, the following formula is used to correct these factors.

● Calculation formula when atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction parameter is set to “ON”:

Corrected horizontal distance (H)

Corrected vertical distance (V)

●

Calculation formula when atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction parameter is set to “OFF”:

S: Slope distance

α: Vertical angle from horizontal

K: Atmospheric refraction coefficient (0.14 or 0.2)

Re: Diameter of earth (6,370 km)

13.6 Distance Range

Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies considerably depending on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the Specifications illustrate the values for both Good and Normal weather conditions.

It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are “Good” and when they are

“Normal”.With this instrument, the conditions noted below are used to differentiate between the two situations, (Good weather conditions for surveying are different from Normal weather conditions, and in surveying situations, cloudy skies are considered more favorable than sunny skies.)

Weather conditions for measurement ranges are based on the following standard values:

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for your first looks at PowerTopoLite by reading this manual. The PowerTopoLite is a user friendly data collection and calculation program for the PENTAX total station

Ｒ-200 series.

PowerTopoLite is developed based on PowerTopo, which is known as versatile on-board software for

PENTAX ATS total station series. The optimum combination of PowerTopo and

Ｒ-200 hardware

makes PowerTopoLite as an easy and useful fieldwork tool.

The icon based main menu offers you the following possibilities.

1.2 Before using the PowerTopoLite manual

Memories in the instrument

The

Ｒ-200 series instrument incorporates not only the PowerTopoLite surveying programs as the

Special function but also File manager and Data transfer programs.

The internal memory in the instrument can store the maximum 20000 point’s data.

IH stands for “Instrument Height” and PH stands for “Prism Height”.

The PowerTopoLite manual mainly describes the

Ｒ-200 special functions, and the basic

operations are described in the (basic)

Ｒ-200 manual. And, therefore, refer to the Ｒ-200 basic

manual regarding the

Ｒ-200 general instrument operations.

The PowerTopoLite screens vary with the selections of the “Preference”. The factory default settings of the Preference are shown there. It is also possible to select “Process type” that took over functionality of “PowerTopoLite” or “Structure type” that took over functionality of our past

product in ”Action Method Selection”. z

The

Ｒ-200 series instrument has a Job name of “PENTAX” as its default setting. And, therefore,

each data is stored in the “PENTAX” unless another new Job name is created. When another

Job name is created, each data is stored in the new Job name.

The input range of the X, Y and Z Coordinate is “-99999999.998” – “99999999.998”.

The input range of the Instrument and Prism height is “-9999.998” – “9999.998”.

The PC, PointCodeList, is added to the PN, Coordinates X, Y, Z and IH (PH or HI) and you can input your desired attributes for the point. If you have PointCodeList in the job named

“PointCodeList”, you can easily select one of the PointCode from the list or edit one of them after pressing [ENT]. Please, note that Point Code, which is saved in the other job can not be refered as a list.

There are two Coordinates types of Rectangular and Polar. The VO, TO offset and the remote measurement are possible when you select the Rectangular Coordinates.

When you measure in EDM SETTINGS of COARSE TRACKING, the

Ｒ-200 displays a distance

value to two decimal places. However, distance data of polar coordinates are displayed by EDIT function to three decimal places even, and sent to four decimal place. So, “ 0 “ or “ 00 ” is added to the distance data after the third decimal point in COARSE TRACKING mode.

For example

Displayed value: 123.45

Displayed by EDIT: 123.450

Sent polar data: 123.4500

Rectangular coordinates is displayed, stored, and sent to three decimal place even if in

COARSE TRACKING or FINE MEASURE mode.

You can change the distance measurement mode during measuring operation by pressing the

EDM key at the MEASURE and VPM functions. z

The same Point Name of the plural polar points can be saved.

The angle of two known points should set up a machine so that it may become 90 degrees.

Please install a machine in a position where distance s1 and s2 becomes as same the length as possible.

The accuracy of a calculation result falls as follows,

1) When P1 and P2 are chosen for a known point. (The interior angle between known points is extremely small)

2) When P4 and P6 are chosen for a known point. (The interior angle between known points is extremely large)

3) When P4 and P5 are chosen for a known point. ( The interior angle between known points is 180 degrees)

4) When the distance from a new point to a known point is extremely short or extremely long.

5) When a new point (station point) and three or more known points are arranged on the same circumference. (Refer to Fig. 2)

※ When searching for a new point by a FREESTATION and surveying by installing a machine in the

point, accuracy may not be stabilized compared with the case where a machine is installed on a known point. In the work which needs a high-precision survey, we cannot recommend you.

12. ROAD DESIGN

You can use this function to calculate basic design clothoid, raised type clothoid, and central peg and width peg of simple curve, and record the coordinates by inputting and specifying each coordinate of BP,IP and EP and the elements of the curve.

WARNING

• Road calculation excludes Z coordinate values from the calculation.

• Road calculation allows you to calculate up to 1,000 points in combination with number peg, plus peg and width peg.

• The maximum number of points that can be processed per route is 1,000 points. When making a design for a complex route having many consecutive IP points, you may not be able to obtain your desired smooth linear shape if you calculate with an extreme and rough pitch. Also if there is a mistake of inputting coordinates or elements, it may generate the coordinates quite differently from your desired linear shape. To prevent yourself from these, we recommend you to send the generated coordinates to PC and confirm the linear shape on the monitor or printer screen before using.

[Measurement point name to be selected and specified]

Regarding measurement point name of each coordinate, input alphanumeric character up to three character following the character of BP, IP and EP. When more than three characters following BP, IP and EP or completely different alphanumeric characters by deleting the initial character are input, it automatically generates the point name of an existing value.

This will also happen when you specify a coordinate by researching from the memory.

[Generation of measurement point name]

Numerical part: 3 digits and up to 001

～999.

Integer part of plus peg: up to 01

～99.

Width peg: Left width peg [L] is added at the end of the measurement point name.

Right width peg[R] is added at the end of the measurement point name.

NOTE: measurement point name is not processed for the additional distance.
