2. PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
2.1 UNPACKING AND STORE OF INSTRUMENT

·Unpacking
Place the case lightly with the cover upward, and unlock the case, take out the
instrument.
·Store of instrument
Cover the telescope cap, place the instrument into the case with the vertical
clamp screw and circular vial upwards (Objective lens towards tribrach), and slightly
tighten the vertical clamp screw and lock the case.
2.2 INSTRUMENT SETUP

Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to
ensure the best performance.
Operation Reference:
1. Leveling and Centering the Instrument by plumb bob
1) Setting up the tripod
① First, extend the extension legs to suitable length, make the tripod head
parallel to the ground and tighten the screws.
② Make the center of the tripod and the occupied point approximately on the
same plumb line.
③ Step on the tripod to make sure if it is well stationed on the ground.
2) Attaching the instrument on the tripod
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.
3) Roughly leveling the instrument by using the circular vial
① Turn the leveling screw A and B to move the bubble in the circular vial, in
which case the bubble is located on a line perpendicular to a line running
through the centers of the two leveling screw being adjusted .
9
② Turn the leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of the circular vial.
4) Precisely leveling by using the plate vial

① Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw
and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B,
and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling
screws A and B.
② Rotate the instrument 90º (100g) around its vertical axis and turn the
remaining leveling screw or leveling C to center the bubble once more.
③Repeat the steps ①② for each 90º (100g) rotation of the instrument and
check whether the bubble is correctly centered in all directions.
2. Centering by using the optical plummet
1) Set tripod
Lift tripod to suitable height, ensure equal length of three legs, spread and
make tripod head parallel to the ground, and place it right above the
measurement station point. Prop up tripod on the ground and fix one leg.
2) Install instrument and collimate the point
Set instrument carefully on tripod, tighten the central connecting screw and
adjust optical plummet to make the reticle distinctly. Hold the other two unfixed
10
legs with both hands and adjust position of these two legs through observation
of optical plummet. As it approximately aims at the station point, make all three
legs fixed on the ground. Adjust three leg screws of the instrument to make
optical plummet collimate precisely to the station point.
3) Use circular vial to roughly level the instrument.
Adjust length of three legs of tripod; make the circular vial bubble of the
instrument in the middle.
4) Use plate vial to level the instrument accurately.
①Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw
and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B,
and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling
screws A and B.
②Rotate the instrument 90℃, make it perpendicular to the connecting line of
level screws A and B. Turn level screw C to make the bubble of the plate vial in
the middle.
5) Precisely centering and leveling
Through observation of optical plummet, slightly loosen the central
connecting screw and move the instrument evenly (Don’t rotate the instrument),
making the instrument precisely collimating to the station point. Then tighten the
central connecting screw and level the instrument precisely again.
Repeat this operation till the instrument collimate precisely to the
measurement station point.

PT: RUIDE
HT： 1.000 m
Note:
① The battery operating time will vary depending on the environmental conditions
11
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.
② The battery power remaining display shows the power level regarding the current
measurement mode. The distance measurement mode consumes more power than
angle measurement mode, so the power enough for the latter is not sure applicable
for the previous one. Pay particular attention to this when switching angle
measurement mode to distance measurement mode, because insufficient battery
power might lead to interrupted operation.
● Before outdoor operation, battery power status should be well checked.
③ When the measurement mode is changed, the battery power would not
immediately show the decrease or increase. The battery power indicating system
shows the general status but not the instantaneous change of battery power.
Battery Recharging Cautions:

☆ Battery should be recharged only with the charger SC-21 going with the
instrument.
Remove the on-board battery from instrument and connect it to battery charger.
When the indicator lamp on the battery charger is orange, the recharging process
has begun. When charging is complete (indicator lamp turns green), disconnect the
charger from its power source.
Battery Removal Cautions
Before removing the battery from the instrument, make sure that the power is
turned off. Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.
Battery Recharging Cautions
The charger has built-in circuitry for protection from overcharging. However, do
not leave the charger plugged into the power outlet after recharging is completed.
Be sure to recharge the battery at a temperature of 0°～±45°C, recharging may
be abnormal beyond the specified temperature range .
When the indicator lamp does not light after connecting the battery and charger,
either the battery or the charger may be damaged. Please connect professionals for
repairing.
Battery Charging Cautions
Rechargeable battery can be repeatedly recharged 300 to 500 times. Complete
discharge of the battery may shorten its service life.
In order to get the maximum service life, be sure to recharge it at least once a
month.

2.4 REFLECTOR PRISMS

When measuring distance, a reflector prism needs to be placed at the target
place. Reflector systems come with single prism and triple prisms, which can be
mounted with tribrach onto a tripod or mounted onto a prism pole. Reflector systems
can be self-configured by users according to the job.
2.5 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING INSTRUMENT FROM

TRIBRACH
Dismounting
If necessary, the instrument (including reflector prisms with the same tribrach)
can be dismounted from tribrach. Loosen the tribrach locking screw in the locking
knob with a screwdriver. Turn the locking knob about 180° counter-clockwise to
disengage anchor jaws, and take off the instrument from tribrach.
Mounting
Insert three anchor jaws into holes in tribrach and line up the directing stub with

2.6 EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT AND COLLIMATING OBJECT

Method of Collimating Object（for reference）
① Sight the Telescope to bright place and rotate the eyepiece tube to make the
reticle clear.
② Collimate the target point with top of the triangle mark in the coarse collimator.
13
(Keep a certain distance between eye and the coarse collimator).

③ Make the target image clear with the telescope focusing screw.
☆ If there is parallax when your eye moves up, down or left, right, it means the
diopter of eyepiece lens or focus is not well adjusted and accuracy will be influenced,
so you should adjust the eyepiece tube carefully to eliminate the parallax.

2.9 LEVELING
As the tilt sensor is activated, automatic correction of vertical angle for
mislevelment is displayed.
To ensure a precise angle measurement, tilt sensor must be activated. The
display can be used to fine level the instrument.
If the instrument hasn’t been leveled roughly, the screen displays that the
instrument is out of the automatic correction range, and that it needs to be leveled
manually. Please refer to “2.2 Instrument Setup” for detailed leveling instruction.
RUIDE Total Station RTS-820 Series compensates the vertical angle reading as
well as both vertical and horizontal angle reading due to inclination of the vertical axis
in the X direction and XY directions. (Dual axis compensation is just applicable for
RTS-820R3 series.

※2) Dual axis compensation mode is just applicable for RTS-820R series.
When the instrument is placed on an unstable stage or in a windy weather
condition, the display of vertical angle is unstable. You can switch off the auto tilt
correction function of vertical angle.
If the mode of auto correction is ON, in the condition that the instrument has not
been leveled, the program will demand that the instrument must be leveled at first,
so as to enter other functions.

3.3.2 Set the Temperature & Pressure

Atmosphere Correction:
The speed of light in air is extremely fast. And it is not a constant, but changes
with the temperature and pressure of atmosphere. Once atmosphere correction is
set, this instrument can implement atmosphere correction automatically.
Even the instrument is powered off, the atmosphere correction value is still kept.
The formula of atmosphere correction: (unit: meter))

PPM = 273.8 - 0.2900 ×pressure value（hPa）
1 + 0.00366 ×temperature value（℃）
If the pressure unit is mmHg：
1hPa = 0.75mmHg
When disregarding atmosphere correction, set PPM value to 0.

4.2 MULTIPLE POINT RESECTION
A resection sets up the station using angle/distance measurements to known

points.
--- You can use a maximum of 10 points in a resection.
--- Measurements can be distance and angle, or angle only.
--- Calculation starts automatically when enough measurements are taken.
--- You can delete poor observations and recalculate if necessary.
●If the angle between known point 1 and known point is extremely acute or
extremely oblique, the resulting solution will be less reliable geometrically. For
geometric reliability, select known point locations (or station point locations) that are
widely spaced.

7.7.9 Stake out Roads

To stake out alignment, the alignment type should be defined first. 2 methods of
defining horizontal alignment are available: installing in the computer via the data
communication software provided by Sanding Optic-Electric Equipment Co., Ltd; or
inputting manually in program “Road”.
The vertical alignment data is unnecessarily to be defined, unless it is required
to compute dig and fill. The method to define is similar to that of horizontal alignment.
Rules of alignment stake-out data:
Offset left: Horizontal distance between the left chainage and central line.
right: Horizontal distance between the right chainage and central line.
Vertical Difference Left (right): vertical difference between left (right) chainage and
the central line point.
96
In the process of stake-out, user should first stake out points on the central line,
then the featured points on both sides.
The method to stake out alignment is similar to that of point stake-out, with 3
methods available:
Take points on the central line for example.

12. CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

This instrument has undergone a strict process of checking and adjustment,
which ensures that it meets quality requirement. However, after long periods of
transport or under a changing environment, there may be some influences on the
internal structure. Therefore, before the instrument is used for the first time, or before
precise surveys, user should launch check and adjustment introduced in this chapter
to ensure the precision of the job.
12.1 PLATE VIAL
Check
Please refer to Chapter 3.2 “Leveling by Using Plate Vial”
Adjust
1. Adjust leveling screws, make plate bubble centered;
2. Rotate the instrument 180°; watch the offset of plate level;
3. Tweak adjustment screws (on the right of the plate vial) with the correction pin to
make plate bubble to move half of the offset back;
4. Rotate the instrument 180°, check adjustment result;
5. Repeat the steps above until the plate level is centered in all directions.
12.2 CIRCULAR VIAL

Check
No adjustment is required if the bubble of circular vial is in the center after
checking and adjustment of the plate vial.
Adjust
1. Adjust circular bubble after plate bubble is centered.
2.Loosen the screw (one or two) opposite with bubble deflective direction;
3.Tighten the screw on the direction accordant deflective until circular bubble is
centered;
150
4.Adjust three adjustment screws for several times until circular bubble is

12.8 INSTRUMENT CONSTANT (K)

Instrument constant has been checked up and adjusted in the factory, K=0. It
seldom changes and it is suggested to check one or two times every year. The
inspection should be made on the base line, also can be made according to the
following method.
Check
1. Mount and level the instrument on Point A at a plain field. Use the vertical hair to
mark Point B and Point C with the distance of 50m on the same line, and set the
reflector accurately.
2. After setting temperature and air pressure, measure the horizontal distance of AB
and AC accurately.
3. Set the instrument on Point B and center it accurately, measure the Horizontal
Distance of BC accurately.
4. Then the Instrument Constant can be obtained:
K＝AC－(AB＋BC)
K should be near to 0, If ｜K｜＞5mm, the instrument should be strictly
inspected in the standard baseline site, and adjusted according to the inspection
value.
Adjust
If a strict inspection proves that the Instrument Constant K has changed and is
not close to 0. If the operator wants to adjust, should set Stadia Constant according
to the Constant K
●Set the orientation via the Vertical Hair to maintain Point A, B, C on the same line
precisely. There must be a fixed and clear centering mark on the ground of Point B
●Whether the prism center of Point B coincides with the Instrument Center is a
significant step to inspect the accuracy. So on Point B the tripod or compatible
tribrach should be used. It will decrease the difference.

15. SAFETY GUIDE

15.1 INTEGRATED DISTANCE METER (VISIBLE LASER)
Warning
The total station is equipped with an EDM of a laser grade of 3R/Ⅲa. It is
verified by the following labels.
On the vertical tangent screw sticks an indication label “CLASS III LASER
PRODUCT”. A similar label is sticked on the opposite side.
This product is classified as Class 3R laser product, which accords to the
following standards.
IEC60825-1:2001 “SAFETY OF LASER PRODUCTS”.
Class 3R/Ⅲ a laser product: It is harmful to observe laser beam continuously.
User should avoid sighting the laser at the eyes. It can reach 5 times the emitting
limit of Class2/II with a wavelength of 400mm-700mm.
Warning
Continuously looking straight at the laser beam is harmful.
Prevention
Do not stare at the laser beam, or point the laser beam to others’ eyes.
Reflected laser beam is a valid measurement to the instrument.
Warning
When the laser beam emits on prism, mirror, metal surface, window, etc., it is
dangerous to look straight at the reflex.
Prevention
Do not stare at the object which reflects the laser beam. When the laser is
switched on (under EDM mode), do not look at it on the optical path or near the
prism. It is only allowed to observe the prism with the telescope of total station.
Warning
Improper operation on laser instrument of Class 3R will bring dangers.
Prevention
To avoid to be harmed, each user is required to take safety precautions, and
take everything under control within the distance that would incur dangers (according
to IEC60825-1:2001).
The following shows the explanation related to the key sections of the
Standard.
Laser instrument of Class 3R is applicable outdoors and in construction field
(measurement, defining lines, leveling).
a) Only those persons who are trained with related course and authenticated are
allowed to install, adjust, and operate this kind of laser instrument.
b) Stand related warning symbols in the scale of use.
163
c) Prevent any person to look straight at or use optical instrument to observe the
laser beam.
d) To prevent the harm caused by laser, block the laser beam at the end of the
working route. When the laser beam exceeds the limit area (harmful distance*) and
when there are motivating persons, stopping the laser beam is a must.
e) The optical path of the laser should be set higher or lower than the line of sight.
f) When the laser instrument is not in use, take care of it properly. The person who is
not authenticated is not allowed to use.
g) Prevent the laser beam from irradiating plane mirror, metal surface, window, etc.,
especially beware of the surface of plane mirror and concave mirror.
* Harmful distance means the maximum distance between the start point and
the point which the laser is weakened to a degree that doesn’t harm people.
The internal EDM instrument equipped with a Class 3R/III a Laser has a harmful
distance of 1000m (3300ft). Beyond this distance, the laser intensity is weakened to
Class I (Looking straight at the laser beam causes no harm to the eyes.)
