Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Laser Scanner, GLS-1000 series. For the best performance of the instruments, please carefully read these instructions and keep them in a convenient location for future reference.

General Handling Precautions

Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is functioning correctly with normal performance.

Using the instrument on rainy days

It may not be possible to use the instrument if there are water drops on the glass of the windows. It is also not possible to scan wet objects.

Horizontally rotating part (head)

Do not turn the head with your hands while the power is ON. If it has been turned by force, turn the power ON again.

Waterproof property

The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IPX2, therefore it can withstand light rain. However, in case of heavy rain, there is no guarantee that the instrument will be protected from waterdrops.

Setting the instrument on a tripod

When mounting the instrument on a tripod, use a wooden tripod. Do not use a metallic tripod.

Installing the tribrach

If the tribrach is installed incorrectly, the measuring precision could be effected. Occasionally check the adjusting screws on the tribrach. Make sure the base fixing lever is locked and the base fixing screws are tightened.

Guarding the instrument against shocks

When transporting the instrument, provide some protection to minimize risk of shocks. Heavy shocks may cause the measurement to be faulty.

Exposing the instrument to extreme heat.

Do not leave the instrument in extreme heat for longer than necessary. It could adversely affect its performance.

Sudden changes of temperature

Any sudden change of temperature to the instrument may result in a reduction of measuring distance range, i.e when taking the instrument out from a heated vehicle. Let instrument acclimate itself to ambient temperature.

Battery level check

Confirm battery level remaining before operating.

Battery use

Always use four batteries as one set, and operate the instrument with batteries that have been charged and discharged the same number of times. Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries that have been charged and discharged a different number of times.

Taking the battery out

It is recommended not to take the battery out during the power is on. Please do your assembling or taking the battery out after the power is off.Refer to Chapter 4.5 “Replacing the Battery” if you need to replace the batteries during scanning.

There are two types of scanning: target scanning, which measures only the target and 3-D scanning, which obtains 3-D data. Scanning data is kept in the Station folder on the SD card.

Target scanning

Target scanning is used to scan a target set in the 3-D scanning area. Target scanning data is used in the after-processing to align 3-D scanning data obtained from multiple points. In target scanning, the coordinates of the center of the target are obtained.

8 Scanning

3-D scanning

3-D scanning is used to obtain three-dimensional data. Determine the scanning area first, and set the parameters (scanning density).

8-1

8.1 Target Scanning

z The only target you can use is Topcon target sheets. z In order to coordinate positional information of the data, scanning data on 3 or more targets is

needed. Set targets at 3 or more locations where it is possible to collimate from each station.

z 3D data cannot be obtained where the target sheets are placed, so avoid putting them on

important scanning locations.

z Do not set the targets on a straight line. Also, spread out the targets equally so that they can cover

the 3D scanning area fully.

z Use the appropriate target sheets depending on the scanning distance. Refer to Chapter 4.8.1

9 Charging the Internal Power Source (BT-65Q)

• To charge

1 Connect the AC/DC converter and AC-Cable to the charger. *1)

2 Plug the AC-Plug into the outlet. (The Power LED will light.)

3 Attach the battery in the charger. Charging will start. (The Charge LED will Orange.)

Charging will take approximately 5 hours per discharged battery. (The Charge LED will Green.) If two batteries are attached to the charger, it will take about 10 hours to charge them completely. In this case, the batteries are charged one by one. If battery power is at a very low level when beginning charging, such as after the instrument has been in storage over an extended period of time in a discharge state, a full charge may not be possible with a single charging. In such a case, recharge a second time.

4 After charging, remove the battery from the charger.

Remove the charger from the outlet.

The power LED

Red ON : Power is on.

The charge LED will indicate charging status;

OFF : Wait for charging. Orange ON : Charging. Green ON : Charging completed. Orange Flashing: Charging error.

*1) Always use the AC/DC converter provided with the product.

Charge LED will flash when the battery life is over or the battery is broken down. Replace the battery to new one.

9 Charging the Internal Power Source (BT-65Q)

• Do not charge continuously, otherwise the battery and the charger may be deteriorated. If charging is necessary, use the charger after stopping charge for approximately 30 minutes.

• Do not charge the battery in right after the battery is charged, it causes deterioration of the battery in rare cases.

• The charger may develop heat while charging, there is no problem of it.

• Recharging should take place in a room with an ambient temperature range of 10°C to 40°C (50°F

to 104°F).

• If charging is done at high temperature, charging time of the battery may take longer.

• Exceeding the specified charging time may shorten the life of the battery and should be avoided if

possible.

• The battery source will discharge when stored and should be checked before using with instrument.

• If the instrument is not used over an extended period of time, store in a place at 30°C or below in a 50% charged state. Over discharge will lower performance and a full charge may become impossible. Please charge once every few months.
