Care and maintenance
Before using the instrument, read and follow the following maintenance instructions.
The Focus 6 5" total station is a precision instrument that you should store, use, and clean in an appropriate way.
C
CAUTION – The battery pack contains a Lithium-ion battery. When disposing of the battery pack, follow the laws or rules of your municipal waste system. For more information on the safety warnings associated with the Lithium-ion battery, see
Rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, page 5 .
C
CAUTION – Store the battery pack with the battery pack discharged.
Environmental conditions
•
Do not leave the instrument in direct sunlight or in a closed vehicle for prolonged periods. Overheating the instrument may reduce its efficiency.
•
•
If the total station has been used in wet conditions, immediately wipe off any moisture and dry the instrument completely before returning it to the carry case. The Focus 6 5" total station contains sensitive electronic assemblies which have been well protected against dust and moisture. However, if dust or moisture gets into it, severe damage could result.
Sudden changes in temperature may cloud the lenses and drastically reduce the measurable distance, or cause an electrical system failure. If there has been a sudden change in temperature, leave the instrument in a closed carry case in a warm location until the temperature of the instrument returns to room temperature.
Storage
•
•
•
•
•
Do not store the total station in hot or humid locations. In particular, you must store the battery pack in a dry location at a temperature of less than 30 °C
(86 °F). High temperature or excessive humidity can cause mold to grow on the lenses. It can also cause the electronic assemblies to deteriorate, and so lead to instrument failure.
Store the battery pack with the battery discharged.
When storing the instrument in areas subject to extremely low temperatures, leave the carry case open.
If the tribrach will not be used for an extended period, lock down the tribrach clamp knob and tighten its safety screw.
The carry case is designed to be watertight, but you should not leave it exposed to rain for an extended period. If exposure to rain is unavoidable, make sure that the carry case is placed with the Spectra Precision nameplate facing upward.

1 Introduction
Cleaning
•
•
Do not use organic solvents such as ether or print thinner to clean the non-metallic parts of the instrument, such as the keyboard, or the painted or printed surfaces. Doing so could result in discoloration of the surface or in peeling of printed characters. Clean these parts only with a soft cloth or tissue that is lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent.
To clean the optical lenses, lightly wipe them with a soft cloth or a lens tissue that is moistened with alcohol.
Adjusting and tightening
•
•
When adjusting the leveling screws, stay as close as possible to the center of each screw’s range. The center is indicated by a line on the screw.
The reticle plate cover has been correctly mounted. Do not release it or subject it to excessive force, for example in an attempt to make it watertight.
Reticle plate cover
•
•
•
•
•
Before attaching the battery pack, make sure that the contact surfaces on the battery and Focus 6 5" total station are clean.
Securely press the cap that covers the data output/external power input connector terminal. The instrument is only watertight if the cap is attached securely or when the data output/external power input connector is used.
The Focus 6 5" total station is not watertight when the data output/external power input connector is used.
Static electricity from the human body, discharged through the data output/external power input connector, can damage the instrument. Before handling the instrument, touch any other conductive material once in order to remove static electricity.
Be careful not to pinch your finger between the telescope and trunnion of the instrument.

Applying power
Plug in the charger to the supplied AC adapter to turn the unit on. The power input must be 5 V with at least 4 A of current capability. Each battery may take up to 2 A while charging.
Charging the battery
•
Simply slide a battery into either battery slot to begin charging. The adjacent charge indicator will illuminate yellow when charging is in progress. The charge indicator will change to green when charging is complete.
•
•
•
Charger slots are completely independent so a battery may be inserted regardless of the state of the other battery slot.
Charging may take 2-4 hours if the battery was normally discharged.
Charging may take up to 5 hours with a completely drained battery which has been stored for several months without use.

•
By design, Li-Ion batteries should not be charged above 40 °C – 45 °C so a blinking charge light may mean the batteries are too hot for charging. Charging will resume after the batteries cool down. The charging time will be longer due to the batteries cool down when charging batteries above 40 °C – 45 °C.
If the charge indicator(s) are blinking and the batteries feel cool, it may indicate a problem with the battery or the charger. If the charge light is still blinking after trying several batteries which are not warm, there is a problem with the unit or the batteries themselves.
Conditioning / calibrating a battery
•
Battery calibration is necessary about once every 6 months or more often if you want. Calibration insures the reported battery charge remaining is accurate.
•
•
•
•
•
Hold down the calibration button on the unit and then insert a battery while holding the calibration button to begin a battery calibration. Only the battery which was inserted while the button was depressed will begin calibration.
During a battery calibration the battery will be charged, discharged completely, and then recharged before finishing. Calibration should complete in roughly 17 hours and the charger vents should not be covered during a calibration cycle.
The blue calibration indicator light(s) will blink slowly (on 1.5 sec, off 2 sec) while a calibration is in progress and the charge light(s) may be on or off during the calibration cycle.
When a calibration cycle is completed, the calibration light will stop blinking remain on until the corresponding battery is removed.
The bottom case temperature may continue to climb up to approximately 43°C before temperature regulation is enabled to keep the case from getting warmer.
As the battery voltage drops, the case will cool down and the automatic temperature limiting will no longer be necessary which minimizes the time it takes to discharge a battery.
If the case temperature continues to get too hot internally even after temperature regulation is enabled, there is a secondary failsafe which will abort the calibration completely. If an abort occurs, the calibration light(s) will blink rapidly and battery charging will be re-enabled.

•
When measuring a short distance, incline the prism slightly so that the EDM can ignore unnecessary reflections on the prism surface, as shown below.
✓
Not completely square to the sighting axis
✕
Completely square to the sighting axis
•
Hold the prism securely in place and do not move while taking measurements.
Note –
In Prism mode, to avoid false measurements on objects other than the prism or reflector-sheet, targets that are less reflective than the prism or reflector sheet are not measured. Even if you start a measurement, measured values are not displayed. To measure less reflective objects, use the N-Prism (Reflectorless) mode.
Measurement in reflectorless (N-Prism) mode
The Focus 6 5" total station enables reflectorless measurements up to 300 m (984 feet).
The intensity of the reflection from the target determines the distance the Focus 6 5’’ total station can measure in this mode. The color and condition of the target surface also affect the measurable distance, even if the targeted objects are the same. Some less-reflective targets may not be measured.
The following table describes some examples of targets and approximate measuring distances:
Target
Traffic signs, reflectors
Paper (white), veneer (new)
Wall (brightly painted), brick
You can measure approximately...
500 meters (1640 feet)
300 meters (990 feet)
100 to 200 meters (330 to 660 feet)
Measurable distances may be shorter or measurement intervals may be longer if either of the following conditions apply:
•
• the angle of the laser against the target is small the surface of the target is wet
In direct sunlight, the measurable distance may be shorter. In this case, try to throw a shadow on the target.
Targets with completely flat surfaces, such as mirrors, cannot be measured unless the beam and the target are perpendicular to each other.

The Target setting is used by the Focus 6 5" total station to apply better cyclic-error adjustment in distance measurement. The target setting efficiently eliminates multipath reflection.
An incorrect Target setting may result in measurements outside the precision and intervals specified for the instrument.
If a prism target is aimed in N-prism mode, the warning message
Signal
High!
→Try Prism Mode
is displayed because of the excessive light reflection.
A measurement made immediately after changing the target setting may take longer than usual.
Rec mode field
The Rec mode setting controls how the [MSR1] and [MSR2] keys operate in the BMS.
The MSR only
setting is the default measurement mode. After a measurement, the instrument stops in the BMS and waits for you to press [ENT] before recording the point.
The Confirm setting displays the Record PT screen before data is recorded.

Adjusting the electronic level
Adjustment of the electronic level is done by Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections. For detailed instruction, please see
Checking and adjusting the circular level
Once you have checked and adjusted the electronic level, check the circular level.
If the bubble is not in the center of the level, use the adjusting pin to rotate the three adjustment screws of either circular level on the instrument main body or tribrach until the bubble is centered.
Checking and adjusting the optical/laser plummet
The optical axis of the plummet must be aligned with the vertical axis of the instrument.
To check and adjust the optical/laser plummet:
1.
Place the instrument on the tripod. You do not have to level the instrument.
2.
Place a thick sheet of paper marked with an X on the ground below the instrument.
While you are looking through the optical plummet, adjust the leveling screws until the image of the X is in the center of the reticle mark .
For laser plummet, adjust the laser pointer to the
X.
3.
Rotate the alidade 180°.
If the marked image is in the same position in the center of the reticle mark, no adjustment is required
For laser plummet, if the laser pointer is on the X, no adjustment is required.

Checking the Instrument Constant
The instrument constant is a numerical value used to automatically correct for the displacement between the mechanical and electrical centers when measuring distances. The instrument constant is set by the manufacturer before the instrument is shipped. However, to ensure the highest operational accuracy, we recommend that you check the instrument constant several times a year.
To check the instrument constant, you can either compare a correctly measured base line with the distance measured by the EDM, or follow the procedure below.
P
About 100 m
Q
P R Q
To check the instrument constant:
1.
Set up the instrument at Point P, in as flat an area as possible.
2.
Set up a reflector prism at Point Q, 100 m away from Point P. Make sure that you take the prism constant into account.
3.
Measure the distance between Point P and Point Q (PQ).
4.
Install a reflector prism on the tripod at Point P.
5.
Set up another tripod at Point R, on the line between Point P and Point Q.
6.
Transfer the Focus 6 5" series instrument to the tripod at Point R.
7.
Measure the distance from Point R to Point P (RP), and from Point R to Point Q
(RQ).
8.
Calculate the difference between the value of PQ and the value of RP + RQ.
9.
Move the Focus 6 5" series instrument to other points on the line between Point P and Point Q.
10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 ten times or so.
11. Calculate the average of all the differences.
The error range is within 3 mm. If the error is out of range, contact your dealer.

If the instrument is well adjusted, the red laser pointer coincides with the line of sight. External influences such as shock or large temperature fluctuations can displace the red laser pointer relative to the line of sight.
