8 Usage precautions                                          xxxx xxxxxxxxx  Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the Electronic  Total Station R-2500DN product which you have purchased will provide long-lasting maximum  performance, the precautions in this manual must be followed. Make sure to follow these instructions and use this product properly at all times.   [Solar observation]   WARNING   Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of sight.  Never point the objective lens directly at the sun as this may damage internal components.  When using the instrument for solar observation, be sure to attach the specially designed solar  filter (MU64) to the objective lens.    [Laser beam]  Do not stare into the laser beam. R-2500DN is a Class IIIa (3R) Laser product.   [EDM axis]  The R-2500DN EDM is the red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very small.  The beam is emitted from the objective centre. The EDM axis is designed to coincide with the  telescope sight axis (but both axes may deviate slightly because of intense temperature changes and a long time lapse).   [Target constant]  Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement.  If a different constant is to be used, use the correct constant of the target. The constant is stored in the instrument's memory when turned off.   [Reflectorless and reflector sheet]  •   Reflectorless  The measurement range and accuracy of the Reflectorless mode are based on the condition that laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of a Kodak Gray Card.  The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.  There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions above at survey work.  •   There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may not be performed by dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from a diagonal angle.  •   There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the distance when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road.  •   There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or sphere or rugged shape.
9 •   There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the distance by collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in front of the target.  •   There is a possibility that the distance may not be correctly measured when measuring a target in the direction where there is a reflecting object (mirror, stainless board and white wall, etc.) or under too strong sun light.  •    In a situation high accuracy may not be expected, perform the measurement by Reflector sheet or Prism.  •   When using reflector sheet, set the reflector sheet to have its surface be approx. vertical to the aiming line. If it is positioned not to be approx. right angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurements may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam.   In the following environments, the distance might not be able to be measured.  There is a reflection things (mirror, stainless board and white wall, etc.) in the direction of the  target and under too strong sun light   [Battery & charger]  •   Do not use any battery or battery charger that is not approved by Pentax as it entails a risk of damaging the instrument.  •   If water should happen to splash on the instrument or the battery, wipe it off immediately and allow it to dry in a dry location. Do not put the instrument in the case until it is completely dry as this may result in damage to the instrument.  •   Turn off the power when removing the battery from the instrument as removing the battery while the power is still on may result in damage to the instrument.  •   The battery mark displayed on the instrument is only an estimation of remaining battery power and is not completely accurate. Replace the battery quickly when it is about to run out of power as the time a battery lasts on one full charge differs depending on conditions of ambient temperature, and the measurement mode of the instrument.  •   Confirm the battery level remaining before operating.   [About Clock Battery (lithium)] •   Clock battery is a backup battery used for calendar clock function. •   The battery can last about five years with regular use, but it is possible to be shorter depending on usage. •   When the voltage of the clock battery is low or runs out, the date and time display incorrectly and indication of "Clock-batt. voltage low" will appear. •   Please contact your the dealer which the purchased was mail for any exchange or return of the clock battery.  [LD POINT, laser pointer]  When you make a correct direction using the “LD POINT”, aim the laser beam at the wall and mark the centre and then confirm the discrepancy between the reticle centre and the marked point beforehand.   [Storage and operating environment]  •   To prevent making short-circuit when removing the battery and charger from the case and storing them, apply electrically resistant tape to the poles of the battery. Storing the battery and charger as it may result in fire or burn injury due to short-circuit.  •   Avoid storing the instrument in places subject to extreme high, low or radically fluctuating temperature. (Ambient temperature range during use: –20° C to +50° C)
10 •   Distance measurements may take longer when atmospheric conditions are poor such as when heat shimmer occurs. When storing the instrument, always put it in its case and avoid storage in dusty location or location subject to vibration or extreme heat or humidity.  •   Whenever there is a sharp temperature difference between the instrument’s storage and usage environment, allow the instrument to adjust to the environment for an hour or more before using it. Make sure to protect the instrument from the sun if the location is subject to intense direct sunlight.  •   The battery should be charged approximately once per month if the instrument is to be stored for an extended period of time. The instrument should also be removed from its case occasionally and aired out.  •   In addition to these precautions, be sure to handle the instrument properly at all times following the descriptions given in the various sections of this manual to assure safe and proper measurements.    [Transporting and carrying the instrument]  •   Be careful to protect this instrument from shock of impact and excessive vibration which may result in damage during transportation and shipment.  •   When transporting the instrument, always put it in the case and wrap shock absorbing material around it and be sure it is handled as “FRAGILE”.   [Checks and repairs]  •   Always check the instrument before beginning work and check that the instrument is maintaining the proper level of precision. Pentax bears absolutely no responsibility for damages due to survey results obtained from surveys conducted without an initial instrument check.  •   Never disassemble the instrument, battery or charger, even if you do detect an abnormality, as there is a risk of fire or electric shock due to short-circuit. If you think the product requires repair, contact the retail outlet where you purchased it or an authorized repair site.

41 6. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT    6.1 Target setting   The target mode and its Constant of current setting are shown at the left of the battery mark. For example in case of each Constant 0, Reflectorless (Non-Prism); N 0, Prism; P 0   Pressing [F2] [TARGET] changes the target mode.    •   The target mode is changed sequentially as follows.  Reflector sheet - Prism - Reflectorless  •   The selected target mode is stored in the memory even if the power is turned off.  So, next time you can use the same mode after turning on.  •   The target Constant differs according to the selected target mode. So, confirm the target mode and its Constant shown at the top screen after changing the target.    [Distance measurement by reflectorless (Non-Prism) mode]  •   The measurement range and accuracy of Reflectorless are based on the condition that laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of the Kodak Gray Card.The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions above at survey work.  •   Pay attention to the following in case of distance measurement by Reflectorless.  In case of resulting in low accuracy, perform the distance measurement by Prism.  •   The CODE number 521 [LONG RANGE MES.] shows ON/OFF.  •   The WARNING (Laser Power) screen is displayed when Message ON is selected, and then [F1] [MEAS] key is pressed.  •   Pressing [F1] [MEAS] one time selects “Second MEAS setting” and twice selects “QUIT”.   ①There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from diagonal angle.  ②There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road.  ③There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or sphere or rugged shape.  ④There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in front of the target.    [Distance measurement by reflector sheet mode]  Position the Reflector sheet whose reflecting surface faces the aiming line to be approx.  Right angle when the distance is measured by it. If it is positioned not to be approx.  Right angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam.
42  [Applied measurement range by each target mode]  •   When a wrong target mode is selected, a correct distance cannot be measured.  Please select a correct target mode and measure.  •   It is sometimes possible to measure without prism under special conditions like in the close distance, targeting on a wall surface. However, there is a possibility including some errors in this case, so be sure to select the reflectorless mode.  •   The target constant should be correctly selected and confirmed in case that the reflector sheet is used at the prism mode and the prism is used at the reflector sheet mode.    6.2 Distance measurement   The R-2500DN has two distance measurement modes of primary MEAS and second MEAS. Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] one time goes to MEAS and twice goes to second MEAS.  You can freely select and allocate your desired measurement mode in primary MEAS and second MEAS by the Initial Setting 2. The “MEASURE SHOT” is set at primary MEAS and “TRACK CONT” is set at second MEAS as a Factory default setting.   •   MEASURE SHOT means the distance measurement by the shot mode.  •   MEASURE CONT means the distance measurement by the continuous mode.  •   TRACK SHOT means the fast distance measurement by the shot mode.  •   TRACK CONT means the fast distance measurement by the continuous mode.  Confirm the target constant before beginning the distance measurement.   Example: “MEASURE SHOT”at primary MEAS (Factory default setting)  Collimate the telescope at a target and press the [F1] [MEAS] once to start measuring the distance. Once distance measurement has been started, the distance measurement mark remains displayed. Upon reception of a reflected light from the target, the instrument beeps and displays the mark to start the shot measurement automatically.    •   If the instrument is in MODE B, press the [F5] [MODE] to switch to MODE A and press  [F1] [MEAS].  •   Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] after collimating the telescope at the prism starts shot distance measurement with the “MEAS” text blinking. Distance measurement is completed and the “MEAS” text stops blinking the moment the distance measured by shot measurement is displayed. During continuous measurement, the “MEAS” text keeps on blinking.

(420 - 840mmHg)  •   When “Atmospheric Correction” in “Initial Setting 1” has been set to “3. NIL”, “*” is displayed to the left of the pressure value on the correction menu screen.  When “*” is on the screen, the pressure cannot be changed.  If “ATM CORR” in “Initial Setting 1” has been set to “2.ppm INPUT”, no pressure is displayed on the correction menu screen.  •   Once set, the pressure is displayed at the centre of the top of the measurement screen.  •   The factory initial of pressure is “1013hPa”.  •   Once set, the pressure remains in memory even after the power is turned off.
47 •   Pressure correction is based on 1013 hectopascals (hPa).  •   If this instrument is used without correcting the pressure, a distance error per 100m is about -0.3mm per -10hPa as a pressure difference from 1013hPa.  (For more accurate values, see “13.4 Error when no atmospheric correction is made”.)    7.4 Changing the ppm value   The ppm value can be changed only when “ATM CORR ” has been set to “ppm INPUT” in “Initial Setting 1”. “TEMP” and “PRESS” are not displayed.   Example: Setting the ppm value to 31 ppm   Press [F4] [CORR] in MODE B.

91  13.6 Distance range   Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies considerably depending on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the specifications illustrate the values for both good and normal weather conditions.  It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are “Good” and when they are “Normal”. With this instrument, the conditions noted below are used to differentiate between the two situations (good weather conditions for surveying are different from normal weather conditions, and in surveying situations, cloudy skies are considered more favourable than sunny skies.) .  Weather conditions for measurement ranges are based on the following standard values:   Normal :  Visibility of approximately 20 km, with slight shimmer and moderate wind.  Good :  Visibility of approximately 40 km, overcast, with no shimmer and moderate wind.
