Quick Reference Guide provided in your carrying case contains the following items: 1. Basic Procedures, 2. Power Topo Express Operating Procedures WARNING Do not stare into the laser beam directly as this may result in damage to your eyes. V-300 is a Class II Laser product.Do not look into the laser radiation aperture directly as this may result in damage to your eyes.(The reflectorless type is a Class IIIa (3R) laser product.) Never use the telescope to view intense light such as direct sunlight or sunlight reflected through a prism as this may result in loss of sight. Do not disassemble, modify or repair this product as there a risk of laser radiation. Do not aim the laser beam at a person as it is harmful to the eyes and body. Receive the examination treatment by the doctor when the eyesight or body trouble is doubted by any chance. Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC): This instrument complies with the protection requirement for residential and commercial areas. If this instrument is used close to industrial areas or transmitters, the equipment can be influenced by electromagnetic fields. Do not use this product in a coal mine, in a location where there is coal dust, or near flammable material as there is a risk of explosion. Do not disassemble, modify or repair this product as there is a risk of fire, electric shock and burn injury. If you think the product requires repair, contact the retail outlet where you purchased it or an authorized repair site. Do not charge BP02 Battery with any battery charger other than BC03 as it entails a risk of · · · · 4 · · · · · fire or burn injury from the battery bursting into flames due to possible differences in voltage or polarity. Do not use a damaged electric cord plug or loose electric outlet when charging as there is a risk of fire or electric shock. Do not charge the battery while covered by clothes or similar item as there is a risk of fire if the clothes ignite. Do not use the battery or charger when wet as there is a risk of fire and burn injury due to short-circuit. 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. Do not throw the battery into fire or expose it to heat as there is a risk of injury if it explodes. CAUTION For your safety, perform the initial and periodical inspection as well as when the instrument is fixed and adjusted. When the laser beam enters eyes, an unexpected accident might be caused by blink of eyes. Do not place the laser product at a height where its laser beam may hit the eyes of car drivers and pedestrians. Do not place the laser product at a place where its laser beam may hit a reflecting object such as a mirror or a glass window. The refection beam of the laser is also harmful to the human body. When not performing measurement, cut off the power supply or shade the Objective lens with Objective cap to prevent the instrument emitting the laser beam. Keep the laser product in a place where persons who do not have the product knowledge, such as children, can not touch it by mistake. · Before disposing of the instrument, destroy its power supply mechanism to prevent it from emitting the laser beam. · Do not remove the handgrip without good reason. If it does come off, be sure to attach it securely to the instrument with screws. If it is not fastened securely, the instrument may fall when you use the handgrip, leading to possible injury. · Do not short the poles of the battery or charger as there is a risk of injury or fire. · Do not touch any fluid which may leak from the battery as there is a risk of chemical burn injury or reaction. · Do not insert or remove the electric plug with wet hands as there is a risk of electric shock. · Do not use the case to stand on as it is slippery and unstable and may cause you to fall, resulting in possible injury. · Be sure the tripod itself and the instrument on the tripod are both installed securely as insecure installation may cause the tripod to fall over or the instrument to drop, resulting in possible injury. · Do not carry the tripod with the metal shoe pointing toward another person as it may injure him/her. · The instrument contains a rechargeable battery and a battery charger. · It may be illegal to dispose the battery at the end of its useful life. · Check with your local solid waste officials for details for recycling. 5 Usage precautions Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the Electronic Total Station V-300 series product which you have purchased will provide long-lasting maximum performance, the precautions in this manual must be followed. Be 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. V-300 is a class-II Laser product. (The reflectorless type is a Class IIIa (3R) laser product.) [EDM axis] The V-300 series 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. · 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. 6 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 ...
