FOREWORD

Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Auto Tracking Total Station, GTS-820A 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.

Do not submerge the instrument into water.

The instrument can not be submerged underwater.

The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IP54, 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.

TR-5 or TR-5P tribrach should be used for prism side when the traverse surveys is performed.

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 instrument has a built in battery for memory back up. If the battery power is low, “Back up battery empty” will display. It is still possible to measure the distance and the angle, but the measured data and the parameter setting can be lost. Contact your dealer, to replace the battery.

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.

No responsibility

TOPCON Corporation has no responsibility for loss of data stored in the memory in case unexpected accidents.
