FOREWORD

Thank you for purchasing Total Station, GRTS-600R series. For the best
performance of the instruments, please carefully read these instructions and keep
them in a convenient location for future reference.

General Handling Precautions

Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is
functioning correctly with normal performance.

Do not submerge the instrument into water.

The instrument can not be submerged underwater.
The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IP54, therefore it is protected
from the normal rainfall.
Setting the instrument on a tripod
When mounting the instrument on a tripod, use a wooden tripod when possible. The vibrations
that may occur when using a metallic tripod can effect the measuring precision.
Installing the tribrach
If the tribrach is installed incorrectly , the measuring precision could be effected.
Occasionally check the adjusting screws on the tribrach. Make sure the base fixing lever is
locked and the base fixing screws are tightened.
Guarding the instrument against shocks
When transporting the instrument, provide some protection to minimize risk of shocks. Heavy
shocks may cause the measurement to be faulty.
Carrying the instrument
Always carry the instrument by its handgrip.
Exposing the instrument to extreme heat.
Do not leave the instrument in extreme heat for longer than necessary. It could adversely affect
its performance.
Sudden changes of temperature
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. Let
instrument acclimate itself to ambient temperature.
Battery level check
Confirm battery level remaining before operating.
Taking the battery out
It is recommended not to take the battery or external battery out during the power is on. All the
data stored is possible gone at that time. So please do your assembling or taking the battery out
after the power is off.
Do not hold the lower part of display unit
When you take out the instrument from a carrying case, or keep into the case, please hold the
hand grip and base of the instrument. Please do not hold the lower part of the display unit.
External power source
Use only recommended batteries or external power source. Use of batteries or an external
power source not recommended by us may result in equipment failure.

2PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
2.1 Setting Instrument Up For Measurement
Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to insure the best
performance. Use tripods with a tripod screw of 5/8 in. diameter and 11 threads per inch, such as
the Type E wide- frame wooden tripod.

2-1
2.2 Power Switch Key ON
1 Confirm the instrument is leveled.

Battery Power Remaining

Display

● Confirm the battery power remaining display. Replace with charged battery or charge when
battery level is low or indicates “Battery empty”. see Section 2.3“Battery Power Remaining
Display” .

2.3 Battery Power Remaining Display

Battery power remaining display indicates the power condition.
Measurement is possible.

0SET HOLD HSET P1↓

Battery power remaining display

<Battery empty>
Blinking Measurement is impossible.
The power is poor. The
battery should be recharged
or replaced.

Measurement is impossible.
Need to recharge or replace
the battery.

Note:
1
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.
2
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 battery’s ability to be used in the distance measurement mode.

2-2
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.

2.4 Vertical and Horizontal Angle Tilt Correction

To ensure a precise angle measurement, tilt sensors must be turned on. The display can also be
used to fine level the instrument. If the (TILT OVER) display appears the instrument is out of
automatic compensation range and must be leveled manually.

Standing axis Zenith Standing axis Zenith

Inclination of the standing

axis in the X direction

● GRTS-600R compensates the vertical angle reading due to inclination of the standing axis in the
X direction.

When the instrument is out of compensation. (TILT OVER)

V : ° ' "
HR: ° ' "
< TILT OVER>

● GRTS-600R compensates both the vertical angle and the horizontal angle readings due to
inclination of the standing axis in the X and Y directions.
● The display of Vertical or Horizontal angle is unstable when instrument is on an unstable stage
or in a windy day. You can turn off the auto tilt correction function of V /H angle in this case.

1 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.)
2 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. 3 Focus the target with the
focusing knob.

*If parallax is created between the cross

hairs and the target when viewing
Focusing knob vertically or horizontally while
looking
into the telescope, focusing is incorrect
Telescope eyepiece (Diopter ring) or diopter
adjustment is poor. This adversely affects precision in
measurement or survey
Eliminate the parallax by carefully

4.1 Setting of the Atmospheric Correction
When setting the atmospheric correction, obtain the correction value by measuring the
temperature and pressure. Refer to Section 12.2 “Setting of Atmospheric Correction Value”.

4.2 Selecting of the Reflective Target as Non-Prism/Prism

GRTS-600R can perform Non-Prism measurement. Before measuring, the reflective target type
should be set correctly. GRTS-600R will automatically adjusts the intensity of the laser beam and
switches the distance measurement display range to match the type of target used. if the target does
not correspond to the target settings, the range and accuracy of distance measurement may be
affected.

4.3 Setting of the Correction for Prism Constant

In case “Prism” is selected as reflective target for distance measurement, the constant correction
value of the prism must be set correctly. Our usual cooperated prism constant value is -30. Set
correction for prism at -30. If the prism is other brand, the appropriate constant shall be set
beforehand. Refer to Chapter 11 “SETTING THE PRISM CONSTANT VALUE”. The setting value is
kept in the memory even after power is off.

4.8.1 Angle Offset

This mode is useful when it is difficult to set up the prism directly, for example at the center of a tree.
Place the prism at the same horizontal distance from the instrument as that of point A0 to measure. To
measure the coordinates of the center position, operate the offset measurement after setting the
instrument height/prism height.

When measuring coordinates of ground point A1 :Set the

instrument height/prism height.

When measuring coordinates of point A0 : Set the

Prism P instrument height only. (Set the prism height to 0 ).

Prism height
When sighting to A0, you can select one of two
ways. One is to fix vertical angle to the prism
position even updown the telescope position, and
the other is to gear vertical angle to the updown
of telescope movement. In case following the
vertical angle to the movement of telescope,
SD(Slope Distance) and VD(Vertical Distance)
will be changed according to the movement of
telescope.
To set this option, refer to Chapter 15

4.8.3 Plane Offset Measurement

Measuring will be taken for the place where direct measuring can not be done, for example distance or
coordinate measuring for a edge of a plane.
Three random prism points (P1, P2, P3) on a plane will be measured at first in the plane offset
measurement to determine the measured plane. Collimate the measuring target point (P0) then the
instrument calculates and displays coordinate and distance value of cross point between collimation
axis and of the plane.

6.2 Setting the GRID FACTOR

GRID FACTOR can reset in this menu mode.
For more information, refer to Section 8.1.1 “Setting the GRID FACTOR”.

Grid Factor can be applied to the following application programs.

It is also possible to cancel the Grid factor function by selecting "DON'T USE" in “SELECTING MODE” .
At this time the setting and selecting screens for Grid Factor will be omitted.

● Data collection mode

When the NEZ automatic calculation (NEZ AUTO. CALC) is ON, Grid factor will be applied to the
coordinate data recorded into a coordinate data file when the RAW data is measured and recorded. (In
this case, Grid Factor is not applied to the RAW data recorded into the measured data file.)

● PTL (Point To Line measurement)

When executing PTL measurement mode, the NEZ Auto Calculation wil be turned on compulsorily and
Grid factor will be applied to the coordinate data.

● Layout
Execution Layout

1. When displaying the difference (dHD) between grid horizontal distance to a layout point (HDg) on
the projection plane and measured ground horizontal distance to a prism point (HD) , Grid factor will be
applied to grid distance (HDg) in order to reverse-convert grid distance to ground distance.

2. After completion of a layout point, the displayed coordinate data will be applied to grid factor in
order to compare with surveying data and calculated data on the projection plane.

(NEW POINT-Side Shot)

In side shot method, a new point coordinate data will be applied to grid factor and the new point
coordinate data will be recorded into a coordinate data file.

(NEW POINT - Resection)

In resection method, when a new point calculated coordinate data is displayed or recorded, the new
point coordinate data will be applied to grid factor and the coordinate data will be recorded into a
coordinate data file.

● MLM (Missing Line Measurement)

When selecting grid factor "USE G.F.", measured data will be applied to grid factor. At this time,
horizontal distance (dHD) and slope distance (dSD) will be on the projection plane.

● AREA (Area calculation / Measured method)

When selecting grid factor "USE G.F.", measured data will be applied to grid factor. At this time, the
calculated area will be on the projection plane.

Note: Calculation of Z coordinate is not influenced even if it is applied to grid factor.

7DATA COLLECTION
The GRTS-600R series are able to store the measured data into the internal memory.
The internal memory is shared by the measured data files and the coordinate data files. Maximum 128
files can be generated.

Measured data
The collected data is memorized into a files.
The number of measurement points
( In case not using the internal memory in layout mode)

MAX. 40,000 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 beforehand and prepare fully charged
spare batteries.

7.3.4 Column Offset Measurement

If it is possible to measure circumscription point (P1) of column directly, the distance to the center of the
column (P0), coordinate and direction angle can be calculated by measured circumscription points (P2) and
(P3).
The direction angle of the center of the column is 1/2 of total direction angle of circumscription points
(P2) and (P3).

7.4 NEZ Auto Calculation

As measured data is collected, coordinates are calculated and stored for traverse or topo collection.
Automatic making out function of coordinate data sets up in CONFIG of data collect. Refer to Section 7.6
“Setting Parameter of Data Collect [CONFIG.]”.
As a default, coordinate data calculated will be saved in a file of the same name as the measurement data
file.
When the coordinate data file of the same name as the measurement data file does not exist, it will be
generated automatically.
It is possible to change a file for saving coordinate data in the DATA COLLECT Menu 2/2 (F1:SELECT A
FILE).
To calculate a coordinate data, it is necessary to add a point number in Data Collect execution. When a
coordinate data of the same point number exist already, it can be replaced with the new data by confirming
display.

● Coordinates will be calculated using the grid factor.

To set the grid factor, see Section 6.2“Setting the GRID FACTOR” .

8 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 MTS1000 series are 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. 40,000 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 beforehand and prepare fully charged
spare batteries.
3) When recording new point data, remember to consider the amount of internal memory
available.

16 CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

16.1 Checking and adjusting of instrument constant
Normally, the instrument constant does not have discrepancy. It is recommended you measure and
compare with an accurately measured distance at a location where the precision is specifically
monitored on a consistent basis. If such a location is not available, establish your own base line over
20m (when purchasing the instrument) and compare the data measured with the newly purchased
instrument.
In both cases note that the setup displacement of the instrument position over the point, the prism,
baseline precision, poor collimation, atmospheric correction, and correction for refraction and earth
curvature determine the inspection precision. Please keep in mind these points.
Also, when providing a base line in a building, please note that differences in temperature greatly
affect the length measured.
If a difference of 5mm or over is the result from the comparative measurement, the following
procedure as shown below could be used to change the instrument constant.

1) Provide point C on a straight line, connecting straight line AB which is almost level and about
100m long. Measure straight lines AB, AC and BC.

A B
C

2) Obtain the instrument constant by repeating 1) above several times.

Instrument constant = AC+BC–AB
3) When there is error between written instrument constant value and calculated value, review
Section 17.4 “How to Set the Instrument Constant Value”
4) Once again, measure at a calibrated baseline and compare results.
5) If using above procedure and no difference is found from the instrument constant at the factory or
a difference of over 5mm is found, contact dealer.

Note: The seal with which the value is written is stuck on the lower part of the instrument, or the
battery removal side of the instrument.

16.2 Checking the Optical Axis
To check if the optical axis of EDM and theodolite are matched, follow the procedure below. It is
especially important to check after adjustment of the eyepiece reticle is carried out.
1) Position the Instrument and prism with about 2m apart and face them at each other. (At
this time, the power is ON. )

Prism
3) Set to the measure mode to distance measurement or set audio.
4) Sight through the eyepiece and focus the (blinking) red light spot by turning the focusing knob in the
direction of infinity (clockwise). If displacement of the reticle cross hairs is within one-fifth of the
diameter of the round red light spot both vertically and horizontally, adjustment will not be required.
Note:
If displacement is more than one-fifth in the above case, and still remains so after rechecking
the original line of sight, the instrument must be adjusted by competent technicians. Please
contact or your dealer to adjust the instrument.

16.3 Checking/Adjusting the Theodolite Functions

● Pointers on the Adjustment
1) Adjust the eyepiece of the telescope properly prior to any checking operation which involves sighting
through the telescope.
Remember to focus properly, with parallax completely eliminated.

2) Carry out the adjustments in the order of item numbers, as the adjustments are dependent one upon
another. Adjustments carried out in the wrong sequence may even nullify previous adjustment.
3) Always conclude adjustments by tightening the adjustment screws securely (but do not tighten them
more than necessary, as you may strip the threads, twist off the screw or place undue stress on the
parts).
Furthermore, always tighten by revolving in the direction of tightening tension.
4) The attachment screws must also be tightened sufficiently, upon completion of adjustments.
5) Always repeat checking operations after adjustments are made, in order to confirm results.

● Notes on the Tribrach

Note that the angle measuring precision may be effected directly if the tribrach has not been installed
f irmly.
1) If any leveling screw becomes loose and slack or if collimation is unstable due to the looseness of
leveling screws, adjust by tightening the adjusting screws (in 2 places) installed over each leveling
screw with a screwdriver
2) If there is any slack between the leveling screws and the base, loosen the set screw of the holding
ring and tighten the holding ring with adjusting pin, until it is properly adjusted. Re-tighten the set
screw on completing the adjustment.

16.3.3 Adjustment of the Vertical Cross-hair

Adjustment is required if the vertical cross-hair is not in a place perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the
telescope ( since it must be possible to use any point on the hair for measuring horizontal angles or
running lines).
● Check
1) Set the instrument up the tripod and carefully level it.
2) Sight the cross-hairs on a well defined Point A at a distance of, at least, 50 meters (160ft.) and clamp
horizontal motion.
3) Next swing the telescope vertically using the vertical tangent screw, and check whether the point
travels along the length of the vertical cross-hair.
4) If the point appears to move continuously on the hair, the vertical cross-hair lies in a plane
perpendicular to the horizontal axis ( and adjustment is not required ).
5) However, if the point appears to be displaced from the vertical cross-hair, as the telescope is swung
vertically, then proceed with the following adjustment.

● Adjustment
1) Unscrew the cross-hair adjustment section cover, by revolving it in the counterclockwise direction,
and take it off. This will expose four eyepiece section attachment screws.
