FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Imaging Station IS series.
For the best performance of the instruments, please carefully read these instruc-
tions and keep them in a convenient location for future reference.
1
General Handling Precautions
Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is functioning
correctly with normal performance.
Do not aim the instrument directly into the sun
Aiming the instrument directly into the sun can result in serious damage to the eyes. Damage to
the instrument could also result from exposing the instrument’s objective lens to direct sunlight.
The use of a solar filter is suggested to alleviate this problem.
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.
Memory back up
The back-up battery built in the instrument needs to be charged approximately 24hrs. before using
it for the first time after purchase. Connect the fully charged battery to the instrument in order to
charge the back-up battery.
Taking the battery out
Leaving the instrument without the battery for more than an hour will cause the memorized data to
be lost, due to low voltage of the back-up battery. Connect the battery as soon as possible or
execute RAM back-up.
No responsibility
TOPCON Corporation has no responsibility for loss of data stored in the memory in case
unexpected accidents.
Battery cover
Completely close the battery cover before using the IS. If the battery cover is not completely
closed, the IS will not operate normally, regardless of whether the battery or the external power
source is used.
If the battery cover is opened while the IS is in operation, operation will automatically be
suspended.
Power OFF
When turning off the power, be sure to turn off the IS’s power switch.
Do not turn off the power by removing the battery.
Before removing the battery, press the power switch and confirm that the power is off. Then
remove the battery.
While using the external power source, do not turn off the IS with the switch on the external power
source.
If the above-mentioned operating procedure is not followed, then, the next time that power is
turned on, it will be necessary to reboot the IS.
Maintenance for driving parts
Every 4,000~5,000 hours operation in total, change grease of driving parts.
Contact your dealer or TOPCON Head Office for the maintenance.
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 Chapter 14 “BATTERY SYSTEM” .)

•High temperature may cause fire.
Do not cover the charger while it is charging.
•Risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not use damaged power cable, plug and socket.
•Risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not use a wet battery or charger.
•May ignite explosively.
Never use an instrument near flammable gas, liquid matter, and do not use in a coal mine.
•Battery can cause explosion or injury.
Do not dispose in fire or heat.
•Risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not use any power voltage except the one given on manufacturers instructions.
•To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL certified power supply cord set, cord is
Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum No.18 AWG copper, one end is provided with a mouldedon male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other end is
provided with a moulded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC non-industrial
type configuration).
•Battery can cause outbreak of fire.
Do not use any other type of charger other than the one specified.
•Risk of fire.

•The short circuit of a battery can cause a fire.
Do not short circuit battery when storing it.
3
•Risk of medical equipment malfunction.
Do not use the instrument in hospitals
•Risk of accident due to malfunction caused by radio waves affecting automatic control operations.
Do not use the instrument near automatic control equipment, such as automatic doors.
•Risk of airplane instrument malfunction.
Do not use the instrument on airplanes.
•Risk of implantable cardiac pacemaker malfunction caused by radio waves.
Ensure that the instrument is 22cm or farther away from implantable cardiac pacemakers.

CAUTION
•Do not connect or disconnect equipment with wet hands, you are at risk of electric
shocks if you do!
•Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•Let the laser beam reach the aimed object or the target without anybody else in the laser
beam path. In case you operate laser beam open, avoid radiating laser beam to the height
of man's head. It is quite possible for the beam to enter into one's eyes, and it is possible
to lose visual sight temporarily, and lose one's caution and awareness of other dangers
- avoid glaring beam.
•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 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 over, please ensure you attach a handle 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.
•Risk of injury by falling down a tripod and an instrument.
Always check that the screws of tripod are tightened.
•Risk of injury from rotation of the telescope.
Do not look into the telescope while wireless communication is in progress.
