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 or external 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.

Do not hold the lower part of display unit

When you take out the instrument from a carrying case, or keep into the case, please hold the hand grip and base of the instrument. Please do not hold the lower part of the display unit.

External power source

Use only recommended batteries or external power source. Use of batteries or an external power source not recommended by us may result in equipment failure. (For further information see the chapter 'BATTERY SYSTEM.')

2.2 Setting Instrument Up For Measurement

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.

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.

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

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

3 Repeat the procedures 1 and 2 for each 90°

(100g) 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.

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.

2 PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT

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. 2 For 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

(GTS-239N 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.

z GTS-230N compensates both the vertical angle and the horizontal angle readings due to inclination

of the standing axis in the X and Y directions .

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 or diopter adjustment is poor. This adversely affects precision in measurement or survey Eliminate the parallax by carefully focusing and using diopter adjustment.

Place the prism at the same horizontal distance from the instrument as that of point A0 to measure. To measure the coordinates of the center position, operate the offset measurement after setting the instrument height/prism height.

z Set the instrument height/prism height before proceeding to the offset measurement mode. z When setting the coordinate value for the occupied station, refer to Section 5.1 “Setting Coordinate

Values of Occupied Point”.

Grid Factor can be applied to the following application programs. It is also possible to cancel the Grid factor function by selecting “DON’T USE” in “SELECTING MODE”. At this time the setting and selecting screens for Grid Factor will be omitted.

z Data collection mode

When the NEZ automatic calculation (NEZ AUTO. CALC) is ON, Grid factor will be applied to the coordinate data (Including PTL data) recorded into a coordinate data file when the RAW data is measured and recorded. (In this case, Grid Factor is not applied to the RAW data recorded into the measured data file.)

PTL (Point To Line measurement)

When executing PTL measurement mode, the NEZ Auto Calculation wil be turned on compulsorily and Grid factor will be applied to the coordinate data.

z Layout

Execution Layout (Including PTL measurement mode)

1. When displaying the difference (dHD) between grid horizontal distance to a layout point (HDg) on the projection plane and measured ground horizontal distance to a prism point (HD), Grid factor will be applied to grid distance (HDg) in order to reverse-convert grid distance to ground distance.

2. After completion of a layout point, the displayed coordinate data will be applied to grid factor in order to compare with surveying data and calculated data on the projection plane.

(NEW POINT-Side Shot) In side shot method, a new point coordinate data will be applied to grid factor and the new point coordinate data will be recorded into a coordinate data file.

(NEW POINT - Resection) In resection method, when a new point calculated coordinate data is displayed or recorded, the new point coordinate data will be applied to grid factor and the coordinate data will be recorded into a coordinate data file.

z MLM (Missing Line Measurement)

When selecting grid factor “USE G.F.”, measured data will be applied to grid factor. At this time, horizontal distance (dHD) and slope distance (dSD) will be on the projection plane.

z AREA (Area calculation / Measured method)

When selecting grid factor “USE G.F.”, measured data will be applied to grid factor. At this time, the calculated area will be on the projection plane.

7 DATA COLLECTION

MAX. 24,000 points

The GTS-230N series are able to store the measured data into the internal memory. The internal memory is shared by the measured data files and the coordinate data files. Maximum 30 files can be generated.

z Measured data

The collected data is memorized into a files.

z The number of measurement points

( In case not using the internal memory in layout mode)

Because the internal memory covers both data collection mode and layout mode, the number of measurement points will be decreased when the layout mode is used. For the internal memory, refer to Chapter 9 “MEMORY MANAGER MODE”.

1) When turning off the power, ensure that you are in the main menu screen or main angle measurement mode. This ensures completion of the memory access process and avoids possible damage to the stored data.

2) It is recommended for safety to charge the battery (BT-52QA) beforehand and prepare fully charged spare batteries.

7.3.3 Plane Offset Measurement

Measuring will be taken for the place where direct measuring can not be done, for example distance or coordinate measuring for a edge of a plane. Three random points (P1, P2, P3) on a plane will be measured at first in the plane offset measurement to determine the measured plane. Collimate the measuring point (P0) then the instrument calculates and displays coordinate and distance value of cross point between collimation axis and of the plane.
