2. PRECAUTIONS

Precautions concerning water and dust resistance

DL conforms to IP54 specifications for waterproofing and dust resistance when the battery cover, External interface hatch, and Multi Port cap is closed.

• Make sure that moisture or dust particles do not come in contact with the terminal or connectors. Operating the instrument with moisture or dust on the terminal or connectors may cause damage to the instrument.

• Be sure to correctly attach the connector cap to protect the DL from moisture and dust particles when the connector is not in use.

• Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry before closing the case.

If moisture is trapped inside the case, it may cause the instrument to rust.

The Lithium Battery

The lithium battery is used to maintain the DL Calendar & Clock function. It can back up data for approximately 5 years of normal use and storage (Temperature = 20°, humidity = about 50%), but its lifetime may be shorter depending on circumstances. When the voltage of the lithium battery has decreased, or the battery itself is depleted the date/time may not be displayed correctly and an error message "The battery for the clock function needs to be replaced." will be displayed. For details on replacing lithium batteries contact your local dealer.

Backing up data

Data should be backed up (transferred to an external device etc.) on a regular basis to prevent data loss.

Other precautions

• Never place the instrument directly on the ground. Sand or dust may cause damage to the screw holes or the centering screw on the base plate.

• Protect the instrument from heavy shocks or vibration.

• Protect the instrument from rain or drizzle with an umbrella or waterproof cover.

• When the operator leaves the instrument attached to the tripod, the vinyl cover should be placed on the instrument.

• Never carry the instrument on the tripod to another site.

• Turn the power off before removing the battery.

• Remove the battery before placing the DL in its case.

• Make sure that the instrument and the protective lining of the carrying case are dry before closing the case. The case is hermetically sealed and if moisture is trapped inside, the instrument could rust.

• Consult your local dealer before using the instrument under special conditions such as long periods

of continuous use or high levels of humidity. In general, special conditions are treated as being outside the scope of the product warranty.

Maintenance

• Wipe off moisture completely if the instrument gets wet during survey work.

• Always clean the instrument before returning it to the case. The lens requires special care. First, dust it off with the lens brush to remove tiny particles. Then, after providing a little condensation by breathing on the lens, wipe it with the wiping cloth.

Page 13

2. PRECAUTIONS

• If the display is dirty, carefully wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. To clean other parts of the instrument or the carrying case, lightly moisten a soft cloth in a mild detergent solution.

• TOPCON CORPORATION is not liable for the content of any transmission nor any content related thereto. When communicating important data, run tests beforehand to ascertain that communication is operating normally.

• Do not divulge the content of any transmission to any third party.

Radio interference when using Bluetooth technology

Bluetooth communication with the DL uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This is the same band used by the devices described below.

•Industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment such as microwaves and pacemakers.

• portable premises radio equipment (license required) used in factory production lines etc.

• portable specified low-power radio equipment (license-exempt)

•IEEE802.11b/IEEE802.11g standard wireless LAN devices The above devices use the same frequency band as Bluetooth communications. As a result, using the DL within proximity to the above devices may result in interference causing communication failure or reduction of transmission speed.

Although a radio station license is not required for this instrument, bear in mind the following points when using Bluetooth technology for communication.

 Regarding portable premises radio equipment and portable specified low-power radio

equipment:

• Before starting transmission, check that operation will not take place within the vicinity of portable

premises radio equipment or specified low-power radio equipment.

• In the case that the instrument causes radio interference with portable premises radio equipment,

terminate the connection immediately and take measures to prevent further interference (e.g. connect using an interface cable).

• In the case that the instrument causes radio interference with portable specified low-power radio

equipment, contact your local dealer.

 When using the DL in proximity to IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g standard wireless LAN

devices, turn off all devices not being used.

• Interference may result, causing transmission speed to slow or even disrupting the connection

completely. Turn off all devices not being used.

 Do not use the DL in proximity to microwaves.

• Microwave ovens can cause significant interference resulting in communication failure. Perform

communication at a distance of 3m or more from microwave ovens.

 Refrain from using the DL in proximity to televisions and radios.

• Televisions and radios use a different frequency band to Bluetooth communications.

Page 18

3. PRODUCT OUTLINE

However, even if the DL is used within proximity to the above equipment with no adverse effects with regard to Bluetooth communication, moving a Bluetooth compatible device (including the DL) closer to said equipment may result in electronic noise in sound or images, adversely affecting the performance of televisions and radios.

Precautions regarding transmission

 For best results

• The usable range becomes shorter when obstacles block the line of sight, or devices such as PDAs or computers are used. Wood, glass and plastic will not impede range becomes shorter. Moreover, wood, glass and plastic containing metal frames, plates, foil and other heat shielding elements as well as coatings containing metallic powders may adversely affect

Bluetooth

• Use a vinyl or plastic cover to protect the instrument from rain and moisture. Metallic materials should not be used.

• The direction of the Bluetooth antenna can have adverse effects upon usable range.

 Reduced range due to atmospheric conditions

The radio waves used by the DL may be absorbed or scattered by rain, fog, and moisture from the human body with the limit of usable range becoming lower as a result. Similarly, usable range may also shorten when performing communication in wooded areas. Moreover, as wireless devices lose signal strength when close to the ground, perform communication at as high a position as possible.

For long-term storage, the battery should be charged at least once every six months.

• The BDC58/70 generates power using a chemical reaction and as a result has a limited lifetime. Even when in storage and not used for long periods, battery capacity deteriorates with the passage of time. This may result in the operating time of the battery shortening despite having been charged correctly. In this event, a new battery is required.

FOCUSING AND SIGHTING THE STAFF

8.1 Using the DL-501 Advanced



•If the view finder sighting axis is not aligned with the sighting axis of the objective lens, errors will occur when taking measurements. Always make sure the axes are correctly aligned when using the view finder.

•The View finder can be used to sight staffs at distances of 7m or more.

•Focussing can also be performed manually by turning the focusing knob while looking through the eyepiece. If the staff barcodes are out of focus, they will not be readable and measurements cannot be taken. Make sure they are correctly focused.

•Even when Auto Focus has finished the image in the telescope eyepiece may appear out of focus depending on the eyesight of the operator.

 View finder and Auto Focus function

The view finder is used when aligning the DL telescope with the staff. Simply aligning the two center circles in the view finder with the center of the staff and pressing the Measure key automatically focuses the DL on the staff and starts measurement reducing operator workload and increasing operator efficiency in the field.

PROCEDURE Always perform before using the instrument

1. Look through the telescope at a bright and featureless background.

2. Looking through the eyepiece, turn the eyepiece screw clockwise, then counterclockwise little by little until just before the reticle image becomes focussed. Using these procedures, frequent reticle refocussing is not necessary since your eye is focussed at infinity.

3. Looking through the telescope, shift your eyes slightly up and down and to each side. If the staff and reticle show no deviation, the instrument is ready for use. If the staff and reticle deviate, return to step 2.

4. Sight a clear vertical line, such as the wall of a building, at a distance usually used for operation.

Page 35

8. FOCUSING AND SIGHTING THE STAFF

5. Turn the horizontal fine motion knobs until that

vertical line is centered in the field of view.

6. Looking through the view finder, turn the view

finder eyepiece screw until the 2 circles are focussed.

7. Use the view finder axis alignment screw to

align the 2 circles in the view finder with the same vertical line described in step 4. The sighting axis of the view finder is now aligned with the sighting axis of the telescope as seen through the eyepiece.

 Eliminating parallax

This is the relative displacement of the target image with respect to the reticle when the observer’s head is moved slightly before the eyepiece. Parallax will introduce reading errors and must be removed before observations are taken. Parallax can be removed by refocussing the reticle.

PROCEDURE Using Auto Focus to focus on the staff

1. Turn the instrument on.

"7. POWER ON/OFF"

2. Aim the objective lens roughly in the direction of

the staff.

3. Use the horizontal fine motion knobs to align the

2 circles in the view finder until the staff is approximately centered.

4. Press the Measure key. The instrument

automatically focuses on the staff and measurement starts.

10.1 Reading the Staff

Simply focus on the RAB* code for an automatic reading of the staff. The following explains how to read the RAB code of the staff. *RAB code (RAndom Bi-directional code) is a coded staff used with certain digital levels.



• Set up the staff in an area free of obstacles.

• Avoid placing the staff next to mirror-like surfaces. The effect of strong light could make measurements impossible.

• Support the staff so that it is perpendicular, checking the circular bubble scope on the staff. If the staff is tilting, height and distance measurements will be incorrect.

• If the surface is catching the light, turn it just enough to stop the reflection.

• Make sure shadows are not cast on the staff as this could make measurement impossible.

• When holding the staff during measurement, make sure your hand does not cover the RAB code.

• If dark locations make measurement difficult, shine a flashlight on the staff. Stand at a distance so that the beam shines evenly over the length of the staff.

• If waterdrops or dirt adhere to the barcode, measurement may be impossible. Wipe the staff clean with a soft cloth.

• Clean the staff if grit or dirt gets stuck between the sections. If the staff is dirty, measurements will not be very accurate.

• Avoid scratching or soiling the barcode surface as this could make measurement impossible. Store and carry the staff inside its case.

• If the BIS/BGS series staff is used for leveling, and the height difference and temperature difference are much larger than normal, temperature variations may cause the staff to expand or contract and cause differences in relative height measurements. DL reads in measurements up to 0.01mm and minor deviations in the accuracy of the staff will adversely affect accuracy. To obtain high accuracy measurements, it is important to perform temperature corrections for the staff. See  below.



• Formula for correcting expansion and contraction of the staff due to temperature changes.

C={C0+(T-T0)x }x h

C: Staff correction value

C0: Scale factor T: Measured temperature during observation (average temperature during measurement of known site,

PROCEDURE Setting up the staff

1. Set the foot plate on the ground so that the staff will not sink.

2. When using a BGS staff, connect the sections correctly by making sure the numbers on the numeric scale side of the staffs run in unbroken order.

3. Keeping an eye on the circular bubble scope on the staff, set the staff in the foot plate so that it stands up straight.

4. Turn the barcode scale towards the instrument.

12.HEIGHT DIFFERENCE MEASUREMENT

1.Meas

2.Management

3.Config

4.Calculation

Height difference measurement allows the user to calculate the relative height between a known point and a specified point. The instrument is moved from instrument station to instrument station along a route from the known point to the unknown point taking measurements at each section. The total of measurements at all sections gives the height difference between the known point and the specified point. This method is particularly useful when the known and unknown points are far apart, relative height is great, or there are obstacles preventing sighting.



• Except when special circumstances exist, there should be an even number of sections along a

route.

12.1

The route between bench mark and bench mark must be set before starting measurement. Select an existing route or create a new route.

• Route setup is performed in <Route menu>.

• It is possible to select a partially completed route and recommence measurement from where you

left off.

• When performing double-run leveling, each run is treated as a separate route.
