A* All points starting with "A" are found, for example, A9, A15, ABCD, A2A. *1 All points containing only one "1" are found, for example, 1, A1, AB1. A*1All points starting with "A" and containing only one "1" are found, for example, A1, AB1, A51.
R6, Operation 3 Operation Instrument Setup Description This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked ground point. Important features • It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument. • The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier to centre the instru‐ ment. • The laser plummet cannot be used with a tribrach equipped with an optical plummet. Tripod When setting up the tripod pay attention to ensuring a horizontal position of the tripod plate. Slight corrections of inclination can be made with the foot screws of the tribrach. Larger corrections must be done with the tripod legs. Loosen the clamping screws on the tripod legs, pull out to the required length and tighten the clamps. a) In order to guarantee a firm foothold sufficiently press the tripod legs into the ground. b) When pressing the legs into the ground note that the force must be applied along the legs. Careful handling of tripod. • Check all screws and bolts for correct fit. • During transport always use the cover supplied. • Use the tripod only for surveying tasks.

Position the tripod over the marked ground point, centring it as best as possible. 2 Fasten the tribrach and instrument onto the tripod. 3 Turn on the instrument, and, if tilt correction is set to 1‐ or 2‐axis, the laser plummet will be activated automatically, and the Level & Plummet screen appears. Otherwise, press FNC from within any application and select Level & Plummet. 4 Move the tripod legs (1) and use the tribrach footscrews (6) to center the plummet (4) over the ground point. 5 Adjust the tripod legs (5) to level the circular level (7). 6 By using the electronic level, turn the tribrach footscrews (6) to precisely level the instru‐ ment. Refer to "Level up with the electronic level step‐by‐step". 7 Center the instrument precisely over the ground point by shifting the tribrach on the tripod plate (2). 8 Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the required accuracy is achieved. Level up with the electronic level stepbystep The electronic level can be used to precisely level up the instrument using the footscrews of the tribrach. Turn the instrument until it is parallel to two footscrews. Center the circular level approximately by turning the footscrews of the tribrach. Turn on the instrument, and, if tilt correction is set to 1‐ or 2‐axis, the laser plummet will be activated automatically, and the Level & Plummet screen appears. Otherwise, press FNC from within any application and select Level & Plummet. The bubble of the electronic level and the arrows for the rotating direction of ...
R6, Operation When the electronic level is centered and three checkmarks are shown, the instrument has been perfectly levelled up. 6 Accept with OK. Change the intensity of the laser plummet External influences and the surface conditions may require the adjustment of the intensity of the laser plummet. In the Level & Plummet screen, adjust the intensity of the laser plummet using the naviga‐ tion key. The laser can be adjusted in 25% steps as required. Position over pipes or holes Under some circumstances the laser dot is not visible, for example over pipes. In this case, using a transparent plate enables the laser dot to be seen and then easily aligned to the center of the pipe. Zoom_005 Working with the Battery Charging / firsttime use • The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible. • For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle. • The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible. • It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recom‐ ® mended by Stonex , it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.
R6, Operation Operation / discharging • The batteries can be operated from ‐20°C to +50°C/‐4°F to +122°F. • Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery. • For Li‐Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a ® Stonex product deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity available. Change the battery stepbystep Open the battery compartment (1) and remove the battery holder. Remove the battery from the battery holder (2). Zoom_006 Insert the new battery into the battery holder (3), ensuring that the contacts are facing outward. The battery should click into position. Insert the battery holder back into the battery compart‐ ment (4). Zoom_007 The polarity of the battery is displayed inside the battery housing. Warning ® If charged or discharged, batteries not recommended by Stonex may be damaged. They may burn and explode. Precautions: ® Only charge and discharge batteries recommended by Stonex Data Storage Description An internal memory is included in all instruments. The firmware stores all data in jobs in a data‐ base in the internal memory. Data can then be transferred to a computer or other device for post processing via a cable connected to the serial interface RS232 port. For Zoom 30 instruments, data can also be transferred from the internal memory to a computer or other device via: •...

If desired, the instrument can be configured to start in a user defined place after the Level & Plummet screen, instead of the MAIN MENU. Refer to "5.2 Auto Start Routine". Survey Application Description After switching on and setting up correctly, the instrument is immediately ready for measuring.
R6, Operation Access Select Survey from the MAIN MENU. SURVEY CODING To find/enter codes. Refer to "7 Coding". To enter station data and set the station. Set HA To set the horizontal direction orientation. / HA To set the horizontal angle reading to the left (anti‐ clockwise) or to the right (clockwise). The procedure for the quick start Survey is identical to the procedure for the application Survey available under the Apps menu. Therefore this procedure is only described once within the application chapter. Refer to "9.2 Survey". Distance Measurements Guidelines for Correct Results Description A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the R6 instruments. In all versions, the distance can be determined by using a visible red laser beam which emerges coaxially from the telescope objective. There are two EDM modes: • Prism measurements (IR) • Reflectorless measurements (RL) RL measurements • When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, for example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the instrument and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction. • Be sure that the laser beam is not reflected by anything close to the line of sight, for example highly reflective objects.
Page 20
R6, Operation • Avoid interrupting the measuring beam while taking reflectorless measurements or measurements using reflective foils. • Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously. IR measurements • Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in IR‐Default mode. • Measurements to strongly reflecting targets such as traffic lights in Prism mode without a prism should be avoided. The measured distances may be wrong or inaccurate. • When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which is in the beam path at that moment. If for example people, cars, animals, or swaying branches cross the laser beam while a measurement is being taken, a fraction of the laser beam is reflected from these objects and may lead to incorrect distance values. • Measurements to prisms are only critical if an object crosses the measuring beam at a distance of 0 to 30 m and the distance to be measured is more than 300 m. • In practice, because the measuring time is very short, the user can always find a way of avoiding unwanted objects from interferring in the beam path. Red laser to prism • RL‐Long Range mode enables distance measurements of over 3.5 km to standard prisms using the visible red laser beam. Red laser to reflector foil • The visible red laser beam can also be used to measure to reflective foils. To guarantee the accuracy the red laser beam must be perpendicular to the reflector foil and it must be well adjusted. • Make sure the additive constant belongs to the selected target (reflector). Warning Due to laser safety regulations and measuring accuracy, using the Long Range Reflectorless EDM is only allowed to prisms that are more than 1000 m (3300 ft) away.

R6, Coding 7 Coding Description Codes contain information about recorded points. With the help of coding, points can be assigned to a particular group simplifying later processing. Codes are stored in codelists, with each codelist supporting a maximum of 200 codes. GSI coding Codes are always stored as free codes (WI41‐49), that means that codes are not directly linked to a point. They are stored before or after the measurement depending on the setting made. Point codes (WI71‐79) are not available. A code is always recorded for each measurement as long as the code is displayed in the Code: field. For a code not to be recorded, the Code: field must be cleared. This can be set to occur automatically. Refer to "4.1 General Settings".

R6, Applications Dual face measurements When measuring the same target in both faces, the reflector height may not be changed when observing in the second face. Error checks are made for dual face measurements to ensure the same point is sighted with the other face. • If a target point is measured several times in the same face, only the last valid measure‐ ment is used for computation. • For the calculation of the station position, measured target points can be re‐measured, included in calculations, or excluded from calculations. Measurements not included in computations Target points with 0.000 height are discarded for height processing. If a target point has a valid height of 0.000 m, use 0.001 m to include it for height processing. 9.7.3 Computation Procedure Description The measuring procedure automatically determines the method of evaluation, for example resection or three point resection. If more than the minimum required measurements are performed, the procedure uses a least squares adjustment to determine the 3D position and averages orientation and height measure‐ ments. • The original averaged face I and face II measurements are used for the computation process. • All measurements are treated with the same accuracy, whether these are measured in single or dual face. • Easting and Northing are determined by the least squares method, which includes standard deviation and improvements for horizontal direction and horizontal distances. • The final height (H) is computed from averaged height differences based on the original measurements. • The horizontal direction is computed with the original averaged face I and face II meas‐ urements and the final computed plan position. 9.7.4 Resection Results Access Press CALC. from the Sight target point screen after at least two points and a distance have ...

R6, Calibration 11 Calibration 11.1 Overview Description ® Stonex instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to a high quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accu‐ racy. It is therefore recommended to calibrate the instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical parts can be adjusted mechanically. Electronic calibration The following instrument errors can be checked and calibrated electronically: • Horizontal collimation error, also called line‐of‐sight error. • Vertical index error, and simultaneously the electronic level. For determining these errors, it is necessary to measure in both faces, but the procedure can be started in any face. Mechanical calibration The following instrument parts can be calibrated mechanically: • Circular level on the instrument and tribrach. • Laser plummet. • Screws on the tripod. During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined and set to zero. As mentioned, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations: • Before the instrument is used for the first time. • Before every high precision survey. • After rough or long periods of transport. •...
R6, Calibration Before determining the instrument errors, level‐up the instrument using the elec‐ tronic level. The Level & Plummet is the first screen to appear after turning on the instrument. The tribrach, the tripod and the ground should be very stable and secure from vibrations or other disturbances. The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight in order to avoid thermal expansion on one side only. Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from storage to working environ‐ ment, but at least 15 min, should be taken into account. 11.3 Calibrating LineofSight and Vertical Index Error Lineofsight error The line‐of‐sight error, or horizontal collimation error is the deviation from the perpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the line‐of‐sight error to the horizontal direction increases with the vertical angle. a) Tilting axis b) Line perpendicular to tilting axis c) Horizontal collimation, or line‐of‐sight, error d) Line‐of‐sight Zoom_011 Vertical index error The vertical circle should read exactly 90° (100 gon) when the line of sight is horizontal. Any deviation from this figure is termed vertical index error. This is a constant error that affects all vertical angle readings. a) Mechanical vertical axis of the instrument, also called standing axis b) Axis perpendicular to the vertical axis. True 90° c) Vertical angle is reading 90° d) Vertical index error By determining the vertical index error the electronic ...

R6, Calibration 4 Repeat step 3 on the instrument and tribrach until both circular levels are centered and no further adjustments are necessary. After the calibration, no adjustment screw should be loose. 11.5 Inspecting the Laser Plummet of the Instrument The laser plummet is integrated into the vertical axis of the instrument. Under normal condi‐ tions of use, the laser plummet does not need adjusting. If an adjustment is necessary due to ® external influences, the instrument has to be returned to a Stonex service department. Inspect the laser plummet stepbystep Set up the instrument on the tripod approximately 1.5 m above the ground and level up. To activate the laser plummet, turn on the instrument, and, if tilt correction is set to 1‐ or 2‐axis, the laser plummet will be activated automatically, and the Level & Plummet screen appears. Otherwise, press FNC from within any application and select Level & Plummet. Inspection of the laser plummet should be carried out on a bright, smooth and horizontal surface, such as a sheet of paper. 3 Mark the center of the red laser dot on the ground. 4 Turn the instrument slowly through 360°, carefully observing the movement of the red laser dot. The maximum diameter of the circular movement described by the center of the laser dot should not exceed 3 mm at a height of 1.5 m. 5 If the center of the laser dot makes a clearly circular movement, or moves more than 3 mm away from the point which was first marked, an adjustment may be required. Call your ® nearest Stonex service department.
