2. Preparations before Measurement Before measurement, make sure that the instrument is normal; level and center it precisely. 2.1 Place the Instrument The instrument should be place in the tripod supplied with center screw in the diameter of 5/8 inches and in 11 threads per inch, and leveling and centering work should be performed correctly. ● Level and Center the Instrument 1. Place the tripod in the proper position, set the desired height, and tighten locking screws. 2. Place the instrument carefully on the tripod head, and after loosening adjusting screw, move the instrument slowly so that the plumb bob is aligned with the point on the ground. Then tighten adjusting screw lightly. 3. Roughly level the instrument with circular level a. Use leveling screws A and B into two corners to move the bubble of the circular level onto a line perpendicular to a line running through the centers of the two leveling screws (shown in Figure 1). b. Turn leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of circular level.

4. Finely level the instrument with plate level a. Loosen horizontal clamp, and turn the instrument horizontally to make plate level vial parallel to a line running through the centers of leveling screws A and B. By adjusting such screws, move the bubble to the center of the level vial (shown in Figure 1). b. Next, turn the instrument by 90 º (100 Gon) around its vertical axis, and adjust the remaining screw C to center the level bubble once more (shown in Figure 2). Repeat step a and b, to make the level bubble is correctly centered for four positions.

6. Center the instrument with laser plummet For electronic theodolites with laser plummet, when centering the instrument, switch on the laser plumbing fork. As observing laser beam, adjust and move the instrument so that the image of the point on the ground is coincided with the laser facula (shown in Figure 2). After confirmation, switch off the laser plummet. 7. Finally precisely level the instrument Repeat Step 4, until the level bubble is always in the center of the level vial wherever the instrument is turned to. Finally, tighten the central adjusting screw.
2.2 Switch on Power Switch and Begin Measurement 1. Switch on the power switch. After LCD displays all marks (for 2 seconds), it prompt that vertical angle should be zero (rotate the telescope to set the instrument to a vertical angle reading of 0). 2. Rotate the telescope, and the instrument enters the state of measuring angles. And, LCD shows the angle reading.
START UP
ρ To ensure the instrument works normally, make sure that the battery level is enough. If the batter level is insufficient, charge or replace the battery. See Section 2.3 “Batter Level Display”. ρ For setting the vertical angle at 0º, an electronic datum 0 is set on the vertical angle scale. When the telescope is turned and the sensor passes the datum 0, angle measurement begins. The datum is horizontally nearby the telescope, so it is easy to set the vertical angle at 0º by turning the telescope.
12
2.3 Battery Level Display BAT marks in LCD indicate the power condition.
Battery level
From full level to insufficient level, measurement can be performed. But when BAT mark is blinking, showing the battery is used up, measurement is impossible and battery should be replaced immediately.
ρ The operating time of the battery depends on many factors, such
ambient temperature, charging time length, and times of chargingand discharging. For safety, it is recommended that the battery should be charged fully before measurement.
ρ BAT marks show the level of power consumption. ρ For power accessories as options for the instrument, chargeable
battery case and fast charger are available. For using the battery and the charger, see Chapter 7 “Battery and Charging”.

● How to Collimate (Only for Information)
Focusing knob of telescope
Focusing knob of eyepiece
1. Point the telescope towards the sky, turn the diopter ring and adjust the diopter so that the crosshair is clearly observed. (First turn the barrel toward you and then backward slowly.) 2. Roughly collimate the targets by using the top of triangle mark in sighting collimator. It is necessary to leave a certain distance between the collimator and you for collimating. 3. Focus the target with the focusing knob of the telescope.
ρ If parallax exists between the crosshair and target when viewing vertically or horizontally while looking into the telescope,
focusing is incorrect or diopter adjustment is poor. This adversely affects precision in measurement or survey. Carefully turn the diopter ring, to make the crosshair clear and eliminate the parallax as possible.

4. Distance and Coordinate Measurement 4.1 Use with EDM The series electronic theodolite and infrared photoelectric distance measuring instrument (EDM) are connected to constitute an electronic total station. The combined instrument is a high-precision digital angle and distance measurement system, and it can calculate and display simultaneously horizontal angle, vertical angle, horizontal distance, slant distance, height and coordinate. Connected with data acquisition device via data communication interface, it can record and transmit online measurement data, applicable to cadastre measurement and engineering measurement. Before connection, the distance measuring instrument should be first started up and self-tested, prism should be collimated, and heliogram should be adjusted. Before connection and measurement, atmospheric correction factor and prism constant should be set for the distance measuring instrument. For the detailed, see the specification of EDM. 4.2 Connection Procedures with EDM By presetting, The series electronic theodolite can be connected with many types of infrared photoelectric distance measuring instrument. Take the connection between electronic theodolite and Changzhou Dadi D30 series infrared photoelectric distance measuring instrument as the example.

6. Mode Setup The theodolite series products provide various optional function modes. Users can select and set the required mode as follows: 1. Minimum reading: For electronic theodolites, 1″ (0.5 mGon) or 5″ (1.0 Ggon) is selected as the minimum reading. 2. Angle display unit: Users can select 360º system or 400 Gon as the angle display unit. 3. Automatic power off: The instrument is powered off automatically if not operated for 20 or 30 minutes. Also the function can be disabled. 4. Vertical angle measurement mode: For the mode, four patterns are set:
a. Zenith angle b. Vertical angle c. Height angle d. Slope angle The pattern of “d. Slope angle” can be selected directly by pressing
key (see Section 3.4 “Measure Grade Percent of Vertical Angle”). Other patterns are selected by mode setup. 5. Vertical axis tilt compensation function mode Such modes can be set by users as required. Once they are set, they are recorded and saved in the instrument. To change such modes, resetting is needed.
33
● Mode Setup Procedures Before the instrument is delivered, initial set mode is: 360º system in angle unit, minimum reading of 1″, disabled power off, zenith angle for vertical angle mode, and enabled vertical axis tilt compensation function. Assume the modes to be set as follows: 400 Gon system in angle unit, minimum reading of 1 mGon (5″), automatic power off in 30 minutes, height angle for vertical angle mode, and disabled vertical axis tilt compensation function. Proper setup procedures are described as follows: 1. Start up the instrument, and vertical angle crosses zero.
2. Press key and key simultaneously, and the instrument will go to the state of mode setup. In LCD, the upper left row is minimum reading, for instance, 1″ or 5″ in 360º system, and 0.5 or 1.0 mGon in 400 Gon system. The lower left row is automatic power off constant, for instance, 0 for disabled power off, 20 for 20 minutes, 30 for 30 minutes. The lower right row is vertical angle measurement modes, for instance, Ua for zenith angle, Ub for vertical angle, and Uc for height angle. The middle part indicates enabled compensation function. When the function is disabled, no indication exists.
3. Press key to change the number (400 Gon) in the upper right row. Repeatedly press it to alternate 360 and 400.
34
4. Press key to change the number (1.0 Gon) in the upper left row. Repeatedly press it to alternate 0.5 and 1.0 (Gon) or 1 and 5 (″).
5. Press key twice to change the symbol of Ua into Uc in lower right row. Repeatedly press it display Ua, Ub and Uc by turn.
6. Press key twice to change the number 30 in lower left row. Repeatedly press it display 0, 20 and 30 by turn.
7. Press key, and the TILT will disappear and the tilt compensator will be shut down. Repeatedly press it to disable or enable the compensation function.
8. After completing the above settings, press key and key simultaneously, and the instrument will record new settings and return to the state of angle measurement.
35
7. Zero Correction of Vertical Angle When the instrument is used to measure target A (in zenith angle) at telescope normal and reverse settings, the sum of vertical angles measured in normal and reverse settings should be 360º. If it is other than 360º, the half of the difference from 360º is “zero error”. The zero scale determines the measurement reference of the instrument. So careful correction should be conducted. Correction Procedures: (make sure that the instrument is shut down) 1. Level the instrument precisely with plate level. 2. Press key and key simultaneously, and the instrument will go to the state of zero correction of vertical angle.
3. Turn the telescope to vertical dial to cross the zero position. 4. In normal setting of the telescope, collimate target A. The upper row in LCD shows “Step 1”, and the lower row shows current vertical angle.
5. After confirming the collimation, press key. 6. By turning the instrument by 180º, in reverse setting of the telescope, collimate target A again. The upper row in LCD shows “Step 2”, and the lower row shows current vertical angle.
36
7. After confirming the collimation, press key. The measurement results are calculated into error compensation factor to be saved in the instrument. At the time, the correction work is finished.
8. Other Functions 8.1 Measure Distance with Crosshair Measuring distance with the crosshair in telescope reticle is another application the theodolite series products. This is a simple method, but scale station pole is needed, for example, horizontal measuring staff and apparent distance staff. By viewing through the telescope, the length between upper and lower stadia hairs multiplied by 100 is the distance from the instrument to the station pole. (The length refers to the reading from station pole between two stadia hairs.) Stadia Hairs
37
8.2 Tilt Correction Function Zenith angle of the instrument Axis Tilt value of the vertical of the instrument in X axis
When tilt sensor is working, the instrument automatically corrects unbalanced vertical angle and displays the correction result. To ensure fine angle measurement, it is necessary to enable automatic tilt sensor. The display information is also used in fine leveling the instrument. If “b” displays, the parameter is beyond automatic compensation scope, and manual leveling is needed.
To display tilt compensation value, press key and key simultaneously.
To return to the status of angle measurement, press key and
key simultaneously.
38
ρ If measurement is conducted in vibration environment or heavy wind, enabling tilt compensator will make angle values unstable. In the case, tilt compensator should be disabled. For detailed setting, see “Mode Setup”.
8.3 Illumination and Automatic Power off The theodolite series instrument provides illumination for LCD and telescope stadia. Press key twice to enable or disable lights for LCD and telescope stadia. If the function of automatic power off is enabled, the instrument will be powered off automatically if not operated for 20 or 30 minutes, to save power. For detailed setting, see “Mode Setup”.

2. Take out original batteries and put new batteries into. Pay attention to positions of positive (+) and negative (-) poles. 3. Push the extruded part of the cover into the aperture of battery box, until the cover is pressed into the box. ● Charge Chargeable Battery charger Chargeable Battery Interface of Battery
1. Take out the battery from the instrument, and connect it with the charger correctly. 2. Connect the charger with power supply (AC 220V); make sure that its
red indicator is ON. 3. The charging time is about 3-4 hours. 4. After charging, pull out the battery from the charger, and the latter
from power supply. ρ The battery should be charged in room in the temperature of 10-40℃ (50-104℉). ρ During storage, the battery can discharge. Before use, check the power level. ρ If the battery is idle, it should be charged every 3-4 months, and stored in the temperature of lower than 30℃.
41
10. Attach and Detach Tribrach It is convenient to detach and attach the instrument by loosening or tightening the locking lever. ● Detach Tribrach 1. Turn the locking lever anticlockwise by 180º or 200 G (when triangle mark points upwards), and loosen it. 2. Lift the instrument up, with one hand carrying the handle and another hand holding the tribrach. Instrument base
42
Groove Locking level ● Attach Tribrach 1. With one hand carrying the handle, place the instrument on the tribrach so that the instrument base is aligned with the groove. 2. After alignment, turn the locking lever clockwise by 180º or 200 G (when triangle mark points downwards), and loosen it.
ρ The locking lever possibly occasionally loosens. If the instrument and the tribrach don’t need frequent detachment, you may lock the lever by tightening security screw via a screwdriver. ρ When any a foot screw looses or collimation is unstable due to loosening, it is necessary to tighten correction screws of foot screws via a screwdriver. (For each foot screw, two correction screws are set.) ρ If foot screws and base plate are loose, first loosen the fixing screw of the fixing ring, tighten the fixing ring by using adjusting pin, and tighten the fixing screw.
11. Check and Adjustment ● Points on Adjustment 1 Adjust the eyepiece of the telescope properly prior to any checking operation which involves sighting through.Remember focus carefully to eliminate parallax completely. 2. Carry out the adjustment in the specific order, because the adjustments are dependent one another. Adjustments carried out in wrong sequence may even nullify previous adjustments. 3. Conclude adjustments by tightening the adjustment screws securely (but don’t tighten them more than necessary, as you may strip threads, twist off the screw or exert undue stress on bolts or other parts.) In addition, remember the correct tightening direction. 4. The attachment screws must also be tightened sufficiently upon completion of adjustments. 5. To ensure correct adjustment, repeat checking operations are needed after adjustments. 11.1 Check and Adjust the Plate Level If the tube axis of the plate level isn’t perpendicular to the vertical axis of the instrument, adjustment should be performed. ● Check 1. Place the plate level parallel to a line running through the centers of two leveling screws. By using such screws, place the bubble in the center of the plate level vial. 2. Next, revolve the instrument by 180º or 200 G around the vertical axis, and check the bubble’s movement of the plate level. If the bubble has been displaced, then proceed with the following adjustment.
● Adjustment 1. Adjust the level’s adjustment capstan screw with the accessory

11.3 Check and Adjust Crosshair If the vertical crosshair is not in a plane perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the telescope, adjustment is required. (Because it must be possible to use any point on the crosshair for measuring horizontal angles or alignment.) ● Check
45
1. Set the instrument on the tripod and carefully level it. 2. Sight the crosshair on a well-defined point A at a distance of at least 50 meters (160 feet). 3. Next swing the telescope, and check whether the point travels along the length of the vertical crosshair. 4. If the point always travels along the vertical crosshair, the vertical crosshair is in a plane perpendicular to the horizontal axis. (Shown in left figure, no adjustment is needed.) 5. When swinging the telescope, if point A is displaced from the crosshair (shown in left figure), adjustment is required. ● Adjustment 1. Unscrew the cover of crosshair adjustment section by turning it anticlockwise. This will expose 4 eyepiece adjustment screws. 2. Loosen such screws with the supplied screwdriver. (While taking note of the number of revolutions) Make vertical crosshair coincide with A by turning the eyepiece and tighten those screws according to recorded revolutions.

3. Check again, until point A is always traveling along the length of the vertical crosshair.
11.4 Collimation of the Instrument Collimation is required to make the line of sight of the telescope perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the instrument. Otherwise, it is impossible to conduct fine measurement. ● Check 1. Set the instrument between points A and B in clear sight, respectively at the distance of about 50-60 meters. 2. Carefully level the instrument with the plate level. 3. Sight point A. 4. Loosen vertical clamp of the telescope, plunge the telescope by 180º or 200 G around the horizontal axis, so that it is pointed in the opposite direction. 5. Sight point B, at equal distance as point A. And tighten the vertical clamp. 6. Loose the horizontal tangent screw and revolve the instrument by 180º or 200 G around the vertical axis. Fix a sight on point A once more and tighten the horizontal clamp.
7. Loosen the vertical clamp, plunge the telescope by 180º or 200 G around the horizontal axis, so that point C as the crossing point of the crosshair coincides with point B. 8. If point B and C don’t coincide, adjust in the following procedures:
46
● Adjustment 1. Unscrew the cover of crosshair adjustment section. 2. Determine a point D between B and C so that CD distance should be 1/4 of BC distance. This is because the error of BC is four times more than the real error since the telescope has been reversed twice during checking operation.
Reticle retaining screws
3. Shift the vertical crosshair and coincide it with point D, by turning capstan adjustment screws in upper, lower, left and right sides. Upon completing the adjustment, repeat the checking operation once more. If points B and C coincide, further adjustment is not required. Otherwise, repeat the adjustment.
ρ To move the vertical crosshair, first loosen the capstan adjustment screw in one side, then tighten the capstan adjustment screw on the other side to loosened number. To loosen screws is in anticlockwise direction, while to tighten them is in clockwise direction. But rotate screws as little as possible.
11.5 Check and Adjust Optical Plummet Adjustment is required to make the line of sight of optical plummet coincide with the vertical axis. Otherwise, the vertical axis won’t be in the true vertical position when the instrument is optically plumbed. ● Check 1. Sight the center mark of optical plummet to a clear ground point. (See Section 2 “Measurement Preparations”.) 2. Revolve the instrument by 180º or 200 G around the vertical axis, and check the center mark. If the point is properly centered in the center mark, no adjustment is required. Otherwise, adjust in the following procedures:
47
● Adjustment 1. Unscrew the adjustment section cover of the telescope eyepiece. This will expose four capstan adjustment screws. With the supplied adjusting pin, adjust such screws to shift the center mark to the point. However, correct only 1/2 of the displacement in this manner.

Otherwise, repeat the adjustment.
ρ To move the center mark, first loosen the capstan adjustment screw in one side, then tighten the capstan adjustment screw on the other side to loosened number. To loosen screws is in anticlockwise direction, while to tighten them is in clockwise direction. But rotate screws as little as possible.
11.6 Check and Adjust Laser Plummet Sight the laser plummet, and make sure the laser facula coincides with the vertical axis of the instrument. Otherwise, the vertical axis won’t be in the correct position when the instrument revolves. ● Check 1. Set the instrument on the tripod, about 1.5 meters high from the ground. Start up the laser plummet, observe the facula and take note of the initial position. 2. Revolve the instrument by 180º or 200 G around the vertical axis, and check the facula. If the displacement between the facula and the center mark is less than 1 mm, no adjustment is required. Otherwise, adjust in the following procedures: ● Adjustment 1. Unscrew the adjustment section cover of the telescope eyepiece. This will expose four capstan adjustment screws. With the supplied adjusting pin, adjust such screws to shift the center mark to the facula. However, correct only 1/2 of the displacement in this manner.

13. Cautions 1. During carrying, hold the handle or the support of the instrument, and don’t hold the lens barrel. Otherwise, internal fixation components will be affected and thus the precision of the instrument will be lowered. 2. Don’t point the instrument to the sunlight without optical filter; otherwise, damages to the internal components of the instrument or injury to eyes will occur. 3. Without protection, it is forbidden to place the instrument in high-temperature environment, where the temperature inside the instrument reaches over 70℃ easily. The failure to do so shortens its service life. 4. When high-precision measurement is needed, sunlight shielding measures should be taken to shield the instrument and the tripod from sunlight. 5. Any abrupt changes of temperature lower the precision of the instrument. If the instrument is taken out from the hot car to a cold place, measurement can be made after waiting for a certain time. 6. When taking the instrument from the box, first set the box level, and open the box and remove the instrument. 7. When the instrument is placed in the box, the instrument should be aligned with white mark inside the box, with its eyepiece upward. 8. During carrying the instrument, proper vibration absorption measures should be taken to prevent the instrument from sudden shock. 9. If you want to clean the instrument after use, first brush it with a clean brush, and wipe it with a soft cloth. 10. During cleaning lenses, first brush them with a clean brush, and wipe them from their center to outside part with a clean cotton cloth dipped alcohol. 11. If any abnormality exists in the instrument, it is forbidden to dismantle the instrument and apply lubricant into it, and you should contact the supplier for solutions. 12. Except dust in the instrument box, use a clean cloth dipped neutral detergent instead of any thinner or gasoline to clean the instrument. 13. Before using the tripod, check all its parts. All screws should be flexible.
