GENERAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS


Do not submerge the instrument into water.
The instrument can not be submerged underwater.
The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IPX 4 (with BT-24QW),
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.

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.

Rotate the instrument 90 (100g) around its


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

90

Repeat the procedures 1 and 2 for each 90o


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

Leveling screw C

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

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

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.

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.
For general usage of the battery, see chapter 14" Power source and charging".
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 batterys 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.
Note that the EDM unit is working when "V-0SET" and the battery power remaining

2.5 Vertical and Horizontal Angle Tilt Correction


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.

4.7 Offset Measurement Mode


This mode is useful when it is difficult to set up the prism directly, for example at the center of a tree.
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.
When measuring coordinates of ground point A1
:Set the instrument height/prism height.
When measuring coordinates of point A0 : Set
the instrument height only. (Set the prism height
to 0 ).

Prism P

Prism height
When sighting to A0, you can select one of two
ways. One is to fix vertical angle to the prism
position even updown the telescope position, and
the other is to gear vertical angle to the updown of
telescope movement. In case following the
vertical angle to the movement of telescope,
SD(Slope Distance) and VD(Vertical Distance)
will be changed according to the movement of
telescope.
To set this option, refer to Chapter 16
SELECTING MODE.

DATA COLLECTION
The GTS-310 is able to store the measured data in the internal memory.
The internal memory is shared by the measured data files and the coordinate data files.
Measured data
The collected data is memorized in a files.
The number of measurement points
( In case not using the internal memory in layout mode)
MAX. 3,000 points
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-24QW) beforehand and prepare fully
charged spare batteries.

LAYOUT
LAYOUT mode has two functions which are setting of layout points and setting new points using
coordinate data in the internal memory.
Also, if the coordinate data is not stored in the internal memory, this can be input from key board.
The coordinate data is loaded from PC to the internal memory via RS-232C.
The coordinate data
The coordinate data is memorized into a file.
For the internal memory, refer to Chapter 9 MEMORY MANAGER MODE.
The GTS-310 is able to store the coordinate data into the internal memory.
The internal memory is shared by the measured data and the coordinate data for layout.
Maximum 30 files can be generated.
The number of coordinate data
( In case not using the internal memory in the data collect mode)
MAX. 5,000 points
Because the internal memory covers both data collection mode and layout mode, the number of
coordinate data will be decreased when the data collection mode is used.
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-24QW) beforehand and prepare fully
charged spare batteries.
3) When recording new point data, remember to consider the amount of internal memory
available.

Set up the instrument at a new point, and calculate the coordinate of the new point using the coordinate
data of maximum seven known points and the measurements made to these points.
By following observation, resection is possible.
Resection by distance measurement:2 or more points must be measured
Resection by angle measurement only:3 or more points must be measured
An occupied point coordinate value will be calculated by the metod of least squares.
(In case that 3 known points are measeured by angle measurement only, the value would not be
calculated by the metod of least squares. )

The velocity of light through air is not constant and depends on the atmospheric temperature and
pressure. The atmospheric correction system of this instrument corrects automatically when the
correction value is set. 15C/59F, and 1013.25hPa / 760mmHg / 29.9 inHg is as a standard value for
0ppm in this instrument. The values are kept in the memory even after power is OFF.

CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

17.1 Checking and adjusting of instrument constant


Normally, the instrument constant does not have discrepancy. It is recommended you measure and
compare with an accurately measured distance at a location where the precision is specifically
monitored on a consistent basis. If such a location is not available, establish your own base line over
20m (when purchasing the instrument) and compare the data measured with the newly purchased
instrument.
In both cases note that the setup displacement of the instrument position over the point, the prism,
baseline precision, poor collimation, atmospheric correction, and correction for refraction and earth
curvature determine the inspection precision. Please keep in mind these points.
Also, when providing a base line in a building, please note that differences in temperature greatly affect
the length measured.
If a difference of 5mm or over is the result from the comparative measurement, the following procedure
as shown below could be used to change the instrument constant.
1) Provide point C on a straight line, connecting straight line AB which is almost level and about 100m
long. Measure straight lines AB, AC and BC.

A
C

2) Obtain the instrument constant by repeating 1) above several times.


Instrument constant=AC+BCAB
3) When there is error between written instrument constant value and calculated value, review the
Section 17.4 How to set the instrument constant procedure.
4) Once again, measure at a calibrated baseline and compare results.
5) If using above procedure and no difference is found from the instrument constant at the factory or a
difference of over 5mm is found, contact TOPCON or your TOPCON dealer.

17.2 Checking the Optical Axis


To check if the optical axis of EDM and theodolite are matched, follow the procedure below. It is
especially important to check after adjustment of the eyepiece reticle is carried out.
1) Position the Instrument and prism with about 2m apart and face them at each other.
(At this time, the power is ON. )

Prism
about 2m

2) Sight through the eyepiece and focus to the prism. Then center the prism on the cross hairs.

Prism
3) Set to the measure mode to distance measurement or set audio.
4) Sight through the eyepiece and focus the (blinking) red light spot by turning the focusing knob in the
direction of infinity (clockwise). If displacement of the reticle cross hairs is within one-fifth of the
diameter of the round red light spot both vertically and horizontally, adjustment will not be required.
Note: If displacement is more than one-fifth in the above case, and still remains so after rechecking
the original line of sight, the instrument must be adjusted by competent technicians. Please
contact TOPCON or your TOPCON dealer to adjust the instrument.

17.3 Checking/Adjusting the Theodolite Functions


Pointers on the Adjustment
1) Adjust the eyepiece of the telescope properly prior to any checking operation which involves
sighting through the telescope.
Remember to focus properly, with parallax completely eliminated.
2) Carry out the adjustments in the order of item numbers, as the adjustments are dependent one
upon another. Adjustments carried out in the wrong sequence may even nullify previous
adjustment.
3) Always conclude adjustments by tightening the adjustment screws securely (but do not tighten them
more than necessary, as you may strip the threads, twist off the screw or place undue stress on the
parts).
Furthermore, always tighten by revolving in the direction of tightening tension.
4) The attachment screws must also be tightened sufficiently, upon completion of adjustments.
5) Always repeat checking operations after adjustments are made, in order to confirm results.
Notes on the Tribrach
Note that the angle measuring precision may be effected directly if the tribrach has not been installed
firmly.
1) If any leveling screw becomes loose and slack or if collimation is unstable due to the looseness of
leveling screws, adjust by tightening the adjusting screws (in 2 places) installed over each leveling
screw with a screwdriver
2) If there is any slack between the leveling screws and the base, loosen the set screw of the holding
ring and tighten the holding ring with adjusting pin, until it is properly adjusted. Re-tighten the set
screw on completing the adjustment.

Adjustment is required if the axis of the plate level is not perpendicular to the vertical axis.
Check
1) Place the plate level parallel to a line running through the centers of two leveling screws, say, A and
B. Use these two leveling screws only and place the bubble in the center of the plate level.
2) Rotate the instrument 180 or 200g around the vertical axis and check bubble movement of the
plate level. If the bubble has been displaced, then proceed with the following adjustment.

17.3.3Adjustment of the Vertical Cross-hair


Adjustment is required if the vertical cross-hair is not in a place perpendicular to the horizontal axis of
the telescope ( since it must be possible to use any point on the hair for measuring horizontal angles or
running lines).
Check
1) Set the instrument up the tripod and carefully level it.
2) Sight the cross-hairs on a well defined Point A at a distance of, at least, 50 meters (160ft.) and
clamp horizontal motion.
3) Next swing the telescope vertically using the vertical tangent screw, and check whether the point
travels along the length of the vertical cross-hair.
4) If the point appears to move continuously on the hair, the vertical cross-hair lies in a plane
perpendicular to the horizontal axis ( and adjustment is not required ).
5) However, if the point appears to be displaced from the vertical cross-hair, as the telescope is
swung vertically, then proceed with the following adjustment.

Adjustment
1) Unscrew the cross-hair adjustment section cover, by revolving it in the counterclockwise direction,
and take it off. This will expose four eyepiece section attachment screws.

2) Loosen all four attachment screws slightly with the accessory screw-drive (while taking note of the
number of revolutions).
Then revolve the eyepiece section so that the vertical cross-hair coincides to Point A.
Finally, re-tighten the four screws by the amount that they were loosened.
3) Check once more and if the point travels the entire length of the vertical cross-hair, further
adjustment is not required.

Adjustment
1) Unscrew the cross-hair adjustment section cover.
2) Find Point D at a point between Points C and B, which should
be equal to 1/4th the distance between Points B and C and
measured from Point C. This is because the apparent error
between Points B and C is four times the actual error since
the telescope has been reversed twice during the checking
operation.

3) Shift the vertical cross-hair line and coincide it with


Point D, by revolving the left and right capstan
adjustment screws with the adjusting pin.Upon
completing the adjustment, repeat the checking

18 PRECAUTIONS

18

PRECAUTIONS
1) For transportation, hold by the handle or yoke of the instrument. Never hold by the lens barrel as it
can affect the fixing bracket inside and reduce the accuracy of the instrument.
2) Never expose the instrument without a filter to direct sunlight. It may damage the components
inside the instrument.
3) Never leave the instrument unprotected in high temperature. The temperature inside instrument
may easily reach up to 70C or above and will reduce the service life.
4) When a high degree of precision is required for measurement, provide shade against direct sunlight
for the instrument and tripod.
5) 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.
6) When opening the carrying case and taking out the instrument, place the case horizontally, then
open the case.
7) When returning the instrument to its case, be sure to match the white positioning marks provided
with the case and place the instrument with the eyepiece upward.
8) For transportation, provide dampening or a cushion appropriately to avoid sudden shock or
vibration.
9) For cleaning the instrument after use, remove dust using a cleaning brush, then wipe off with a
cloth.
10) For cleaning the lens surface, use a cleaning brush to remove the dust, then use a clean lintless
cotton cloth. Moisten it with alcohol ( or mixture with ether ) to wipe gently in a rotational motion
from the center out.
11) Even if any abnormality occurs, never attempt to disassemble or lubricate the instrument yourself.
Always consult with TOPCON or your dealer.
12) To remove the dust on the case, never use thinner or benzine. Use a clean cloth moistened with
neutral detergent.
13) Check each part of the tripod after extended use. Parts (screws or clamps) may work themselves
free.

APPENDIX

Dual Axis Compensation


Inclination of the vertical axis with respect to true vertical will result in incorrectly measured horizontal
angles. The extent of the error in horizontal angle measurement due to axis tilt depends on three
factors :
the amount of the tilt of axis
the elevation of the target
the horizontal angle between the direction of till of the vertical axis and the target.
These factors are related by the following formula :
Hzerr = Vsin tanh
where v = tilt of axis in arcseconds
= azimuth angle between vert. axis direction and target
h = elevation of target
Hzerr = error in horizontal angle
Example: When the vertical axis is tilted by 30 arcseconds, the target is 10 above the horizon and
rotated 90 in azimuth from the direction of the vertical axis error.
Hzerr = 30" sin tan10
Hzerr = 30" 1 0 .176326=5.29"
From the above example it can be seen that horizontal angle errors will increase with steeper vertical
sights (tangent will increase as vertical angle increases) and will be at a maximum when the target is at
right angles (sin 90=1) to the direction of the vertical axis error. Errors will be at a minimum when the
sights are nearly horizontal (h=0, tan0=0) and in the same direction as the vertical axis error ( =0,
sin0=0). Please refer to the table below to see the relationship between axis tilt (v) and elevation (h) and
the error in horizontal angles which results from these factors.

of the target is greater then 30 and the axis is tilted more than 10". The entries indicated in
bold in the table show, in fact, that for many common surveying applications i.e. target elevation
<30 and axis error <10", virtually no correction would be required. Dual axis compensation is
especially suited then for applications where the sights are very steep.
Even though the compensators can correct horizontal angles for vertical axis errors,
it is still important to use care in setting up the instrument.
Centering error, for instance, cannot be corrected by the compensators. If the vertical axis is
tilted by 1 with the instrument 1.4meters above the ground, a centering error of approx. 0.4mm
will result. The maximum effect of this error at 10m is about 8" of horizontal angle error.
In order to maintain the increased accuracy possible through dual axis compensation, it is
necessary to keep the compensators in proper adjustment.The compensators must agree with
the actual level condition of the instrument. Through various environmental stresses, the
agreement between the level condition sensed by the compensators and the true level condition
of the instrument may be disturbed. In order to reestablish the correct relationship between the
compensator and the true level condition of the instrument, it is necessary to carry out the
vertical indexing procedure listed on chapter 14.3.6 "Adjustment of vertical Angle 0 Datum". This
adjustment will both reset the vertical index (cause a direct + indirect zenith reading to the same
elevation to equal 360) and zero the level reference for the horizontal compensator. While
correct vertical angles can be obtained by averaging direct and indirect reading even when the
index is improperly adjusted, the same is not true for horizontal angles. Since the vertical axis
error is fixed for a given setup, its effect cannot be removed by averaging two readings.
For this reason, it is extremely important to maintain the vertical indexing adjustment to
insure proper correction of the horizontal angles.

Precaution when Charging or Storing Batteries


The capacity of battery will be affected and its service life shortened in any of the following cases while
it is recharged, dischrged or stored.
1) Recharging
Fig. 1 shows how ambient temperature at recharging is related to charging efficiency or as affecting
discharge capacity. As seen from the figure, charging at normal temperature is best, and the
efficiency decreases as the temperature rises. It is best, therefore, to always recharge the battery at
normal temperature to obtain full use of battery capacity and enjoy maximum operation per charge.
And the service life of your battery will be shortened if it is frequently overcharged or recharged at
high temperature.
Note: 0.1C charge means that the battery is recharged with 0.1 -time current as against its
capacity.

2) Discharge
Fig. 2 shows discharge temperature characteristics. Discharge characteristics at high temperature
are the same as those at normal temperatures. The battery is likely to have reduced discharge
capacity as well as lower discharged voltage when discharged at low temperature. And the service
life of your battery will be shortened if it is greatly overcharged.
Note: 1C discharge means one with 1 -time current over battery capacity.

3) Storage
See Fig. 3 for how storing period at different temperature levels is related to the remaining capacity.
The battery will lose its capacity as storage temperature rises and the storage period increases.
This does not mean, however , that the battery performance is damaged when the battery is stored.
The battery, reduced in capacity, will be restored once it is recharged. Always recharge your battery
before use. And recharge and discharge the battery 3 or 4 times to restore its capacity if it has been
stored for a long period or at high temperature. Storing at high temperature can adversely affect the
service life of your battery.
Your battery has been fully charged before leaving the factory, but its capacity may be affected
considerably when it takes several months to reach you, if it is stored at high temperature area or
passes through a high-temperature region. Then, the battery must be recharged and discharged
3~4 times to fully restore its capacity.
And the battery should always be stored at normal temperature or lower if it will not be used for any
long period. This helps your battery have a longer service life.
