Use tripods with a tripod screw of 5/8 in. diameter and 17 threads per inch, such as the Type E TOPCON wide-frame wooden tripodLeveling and Centering the Instrument (Reference) 1. Setting up the Tripod Since the range in which the instrument can slide on the tripod head is about 2em in radius, set up the tripod so that the center of the tripod head can be in the said range and can be roughly horizontal by using the plumb bob if required To set up the tripod, position the two legs first, and then position the remaining one leg, moving left and right, to place the tripod head's left and Tight directions horizontally. Next, place the tri- B0d head horizontally moving the said leg back and forth, if the instrument has been roughly centered. fix the legs. The easiest way to place the tripod head horizontally is to fix the length of any iog among the three legs and adjust the other two by eniarging or reducing their lengths. Firmly fix three legs by stamping on them so that they wil not move. @ If the tripod head is roughly placed in horizon- tal and its center is within the proper range, tight- én the fixing screws of each leg firmly so that the legs and the tripod head will not move during the surveying 2, Installing the Instrument on the Tripod Head Place the instrument on the tripod head and slide the instrument by loosening the tripod screw. If the plumb bob is positioned right over the cen- ter of the point, slightly tighten the tripod screw. 3.

ATMOSPHERIC CORRECTION AND PRISM CONSTANT 124 Atmospheric Correction The velocity of light through air is not constant but depends on the atmospheric tem- perature and pressure, which makes it necessary to correct for the ambient atmo- spheric temperature and pressure in order to obtain distance measurements of high accuracy. ‘An atmospheric correction system is built into the instrument and, therefore, the displayed distance measurements are automatically corrected when the required correction is stored into the memory of the instrument from the keyboard In the instrument, the temperature and the atmospheric pressure are automatically corrected by entering them directly from the keyboard, Atmospheric Correction Chart (Reference) The atmospheric correction value is obtained with the atmospheric correction char the following manner: 1) Measure the ambient temperature and pressure at both instrument position and prism reflector position. Average the results. CAUTIO :_ The thermometer and barometer should not be exposed directly to the sunlight 2) Locate the measured temperature on the horizontal scale of the atmospheric cor- rection chart 3) Locate the measured pressure on the vertical scale of the atmospheric correction chart. 4) Find the intersection of the measured temperature and pressure on the chart and read the PPM (parts per million) value from the diagonal line, which will be the required atmospheric correction Example ‘The measured temperature is. +26°C The measured pressure is. : 7e0mmHg Therefor, The correction value is...... +10ppm 800) 7a0| 70] 740 720] 700) 620 550) 640 20) 600} 280) 560 sao 20] (mm Elevation Temperature (°C) ‘Atmospheric correction charttevati Atmosph =16-6 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 a 80 100710120130 Temperature |°F) Atmospheric correction chart Refer to page 74 for the atmospheric correction chart (hPa unit) 12.2 Atmospheric Correction Calculation The atmospheric correction Ka and the distance after correction L can also be obtained in the following manner. First, the atmospheric correction value Ka is obtained from the following formula: 106.036 xP ) 49-6 Kas ( 279.66 -195S58%F ) x 10 when, P: Ambient atmospheric pressure (mm Hy) 1: Ambient atmospheric temperature (°C) Then the distance after correction L is obtained from the following formula: 4(1+Ka) (m), Distance measured with the instrument, when Ka=0 (ppm). Example when the atmospheric temperature is 20°C, the atmospheric pressure 635mmHg and the measured distance 1,000.000m, the atmospheric correction value Ka and the distance after correction L are obtained with the following calculations: Ka=(279.66~198,096 835) x 19-6 =50 x 10% =50 (ppm) L_=1,000.000 x (1450 x 10°) =1,000.050 (m) 12.3 Prism Constant The prism constant for TOPCON prisms is 0.

However, it is recommended to measure comparing with an accurately mea- sured distance at the place where the preci- sion is specifically indicated once every six months. If you cannot find a neighboring place with the precision specifically indicated, pro- vide a baseline over 20m (when purchasing the instrument) and compare with the data measured when purchasing the instrument. in such case, note that the setup displace- ment of the instrument and the prism, base-line precision, poor collimation, atmospheric,cor- rection and correction for refraction and earth curvature determine the inspection precision. Thus, please keep in mind these points. Also, when providing a base-line in a building, please note that the difference in tempera- ture greatly changes the length of the building. If the difference is 5mm or over resulting from the comparative measurement, follow the pro- cedure as shown below to change the instru- ment constant © Provide point C on a straight line, connect- ing straight line AB which is almost hori- zontal and about 100m long, and measure straight lines AB, AC and BC @ Obtain the instrument constant by repeat- ing @ above several times. Instrument constant = AC + BC — AB © Confirm the instrument constant of your in- strument by referring to "18.5 How to set the Instrument Constant" If you find the difference between the in- strument constant and your newly checked instrument constant, set again by referring 10 “15.5 How to Set the Instrument Constant’ @ Onee again, measure at the place where the precision is specifically indicated and com- pare with its base-line length. @ If in @ above no difference is found from the instrument constant at the factory or in © above the difference over 5mm is found, contact TOPCON or your TOPCON deal- er.5.2 Checking the Optical Axes of EDM and Theodolite To check if the optical axes of EDM and theodo- lite are matched, follow the procedure be- low. Ifyou adjusted the cross hairs (15.3.3 and 15.3.4), the optical axes must be checked © Position the instrument and prism about 2m between them, and face them straight each other.

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 to the battery's capacity and enjoy maximum per charge. And the service life of your battery will be shortened if itis fre- quently 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 re- duced discharge capacity as well as lower discharge voltage when discharged at low temperature. And the service life of your battery will be shortened if it is greatly over- charged. (Note: 1C discharge means one with 1-time current over battery capacity.) 8. 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 bat- tery. Your battery has been fully charged before leaving the factory, but its capacity may be at fected considerably when it takes several months to reach you, if it is stored at high tern- perature 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.73 8 a0 LS 5 I | & _ | | | Bo — : — 2 4 2 acca cee et ee eee eal [ Discharge: 0.2,E.V =1.0V a errr at i ol l Sischarae 20°C Ee [ I i | 2 - + ' | [0 9 203930 ceased ‘Ambient temperature when charging (°C) ig, 1 Recharging 1207-— - SS ——— iho pap ; al = t Pam EES g (cee iee | E60 - charging: 016% 18 Hows, 4 & Shatang temperature 20°C | = T | | a0 : t 1 2 ee teense aa) acas anu - | = = a { I | a0 60 25 [Ambient temperature (°C) Fig. 2 Discharge 20°C harging-0.16x1n |_| Biseriarge:0.26,5V =1.0v | 45°C a ‘Storing period (month) Fig 3 Storage74 Atmospheric Correction Chart (hPa unit) ‘Atmospheric pressure (NPa) ‘Atmospheric pressure (hPa) 1100 1050 1000 950 900 850 800 750 700 a a a rn a femperature (°C) 1100 1050 1000 950 500 900 1,000 ae 1,500, 800 2,000 es }2,500 is) $3.00 650 “10 0 40 20 80 40 50 60 70 BO 90 100710720130 Temperature (°F) Elevaton (m)TOPCON CORPORATION 75e1 Hasunuma-cho, tabashi-ku, Tokyo, 774 Japan, FOPCON — Phone: 33558-2520 Fax: 3-3960-4214 TOPCON AMERICA CORPORATION ‘CORPORATE OFFICE 65, West Century Road, Paramus, New Jersey 07652, USA Phone: 201-261-9850 Fax: 207-387-2710 Telex: 134338 TOPCON CALIFORNIA 43380 Industrial BLVD, Suite 105, West Sacramento, CA. 95631, USA Phone: 916-374-0575 Fax: 916-374:8329 TOPCON MIDWEST 1728 West Algonquin Road, Atingzon Heights lincis 60005, U.S.A Phone: 708-815-9188 Fax: 708-8189342, TOPCON DENVER Phone. 303-706-0920 Fax: 303.373.0998 TOPCON LASER SYSTEMS, INC. 2396 Earhart Way, Livermore, CA94550, US.A, Phone: §10-403-8161 Fax: §10-263-7302 TOPCON EUROPE B.V.
