Measurement is impossible.
Need to recharge or replace
the battery.
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
display shown at the power ON, which shows as an easy battery check before use.

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.)
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.
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.

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.

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

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

APPENDIX-1
APPENDIX
It is clear from the table that dual axis compensation has the most benefit when the elevation
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.
APPENDIX-2
APPENDIX
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.
