FOREWORD

Thank you for purchasing the T OPCON Pulse Total Station, GPT-2000 series. F or 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.

Do not submerge the instrument into water.

The instrument can not be submerged underwater. The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IP66, therefore it is protected from the normal rainfall.

Setting the instrument on a tripod

When mounting the instrument on a tripod, use a wooden tripod when possible. The vibrations that may occur when using a metallic tripod can effect the measuring precision.

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.

Carrying the instrument

Always carry the instrument by its handgrip.

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 or prism 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.

Taking the battery out

It is recommended not to take the battery out during the power is on. All the data stored is possible gone at that time. So please do your assembling or taking the battery out after the power is off.

Noise from the inside of instrument

When EDM turns on, the sound of motors from inside the instrument body may be heard. This is normal and does not effect operation of the instrument.

•Risk of injury by overturn the carrying case. Do not stand or sit on the carrying cases.

•Please note that the tips of tripod can be hazardous, be aware of this when setting up or carrying the tripod.

•Risk of injury by falling down the instrument or case. Do not use a carrying case with a damaged which belts, grips or latches .

•Do not allow skin or clothing to come into contact with acid from the batteries, if this does occur then wash off with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.

•A plumb bob can cause an injury to a person if used incorrectly.

•It could be dangerous if the instrument falls ov er , please ensure y ou attach a handle battery to the instrument securely.

•Ensure that you mount the Tribrach correctly, failing to do so may result in injury if the tribrach were to fall over.

•It could be dangerous if the instrument falls over, please check that you ﬁx the instrument to the tripod correctly.

2 PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT

2.2 Setting Instrument Up For Measurement

Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to insure the best performance. Use tripods with a tripod screw of 5/8 in. diameter and 11 threads per inch, such as the Type E TOPCON wide- frame wooden tripod.

Reference: Leveling and Centering the Instrument

1. Setting up the Tripod

First, extend the extension legs to suitable lengths and tighten the screws on their midsections.

2. Attaching the Instrument on the Tripod Head

Place the instrument carefully on the tripod head and slide the instrument by loosening the tripod screw . If the plumb bob is positioned right over the center of the point, slightly tighten the tripod screw.

3. Roughly Leveling the Instrument by Using the Circular Level

1 Turn the leveling screws A and B to move the

bubble in the circular level. The bubble is now located on a line perpendicular to a line running through the centers of the two leveling screws being adjusted.

Leveling screw C

Leveling screw A

2 Turn the leveling screw C to bring the bubble

to the center of the circular level.

4. Centering by Using the Plate Level

1 Rotate the instrument horizontally by using

the Horizontal motion/clamp screw and place the plate level parallel with the line connecting leveling screws A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate level by turning leveling screws A and B.

Leveling screw B

2 Rotate the instrument 90° (100gon) around its

vertical axis and turn the remaining leveling screw or C to center the bubble once more.

Leveling screw C

90°

3 Repeat the procedures 1 and 2 for each 90°

(100gon) rotation of the instrument and check whether the bubble is correctly centered for all four points.

5. Centering by Using the Optical Plummet Telescope

Adjust the eyepiece of the optical plummet telescope to your eyesight. Slide the instrument by loosening the tripod screw, place the point on the center mark, and then tighten the tripod screw. Sliding the instrument carefully not to rotate that allows you to get the least dislocation of the bubble.

Leveling screw A

6. Completely Leveling the Instrument

Leveling the instrument precisely in a similar way to 4. Rotate the instrument and check to see that the bubble is in the center of the plate level regardless of telescope direction, then tighten the tripod screw hard.

Battery power remaining display

Note: 1 The battery operating time will vary depending on the environmental conditions such as

ambient temperature, charging time, the number of times of charging and discharging etc. It is recommended for safety to charge the battery beforehand or to prepare spare full

charged batteries. 2For general usage of the battery, see Chapter 14 “POWER SOURCE AND CHARGING” . 3 The battery power remaining display shows the power level regarding to the

measurement mode now operating.

The safety condition indicated by the battery power remaining display in the angle

measurement mode does not necessarily assure the battery’s ability to be used in the

distance measurement mode.

It may happen that the mode change from the angle mode to the distance mode will stop

the operation because of insufﬁcient battery power for the distance mode which

consumes more power than angle mode.

2.5 Vertical and Horizontal Angle Tilt Correction

(GPT-2009 has vertical angle tilt correction only.)

When the tilt sensors are activated, automatic correction of vertical and horizontal angle for mislevelment is displayed. To ensure a precise angle measurement, tilt sensors must be turned on. The display can also be used to ﬁne level the instrument. If the (TILT OVER) display appears the instrument is out of automatic compensation range and must be leveled manually.

● GPT-2000 compensates both the vertical angle and the horizontal angle readings due to inclination of the standing axis in the X and Y directions .

● For more information about dual axis compensation, refer to APPENDIX 1 “Dual Axis Compensation”.

0SET HOLD HSET P1

Reference : How to Collimate

1 Point the telescope toward the light. Turn the diopter ring and adjust the diopter so that the cross

hairs are clearly observed. (Turn the diopter ring toward you ﬁrst and then backward to focus.)

2 Aim the target at the peak of the triangle mark of the sighting collimator. Allow a certain space

between the sighting collimator and yourself for collimating.

3 Focus the target with the focusing knob.

↓

*If parallax is created between the cross

hairs and the target when viewing vertically or horizontally while looking into the telescope, focusing is incorrect ordiopter adjustment is poor. This adversely affects precision in measurement or survey Eliminate the parallax by carefully focusing and using diopter adjustment.
