Basic Operation
16
Turn-round function
The turn-round key on RC-2RW is used to have the total station search or automatically track RC-
2RW (prism).
In the auto tracking mode, RC-2RW and the total station are ready for optical communications.
Tu r n-round function is useful for auto-tracking when you start working or when the auto-tracking is
interrupted by any reason.
For increasing efficiency, keep the auto-tracking status when you move to another measurement
point.
1
Tu rn on the total station and execute the [External Link].
2
Aim the RC-2RW light emitter at the total station.
3
Tu rn On the RC-2RW by pressing the power switch.
4
Press the [turn-round] key on RC-2RW.
Total station starts searching and ends in the tracking mode where it is communicable with
this system.
Stopping turn-around operations
Press the [ESC] key to terminate turn-around operation. After the key is pressed, turn-around
operation will continue for a short time before the Total Station comes to a stop.
Important
●
RC-2RW should be kept aiming so that the total station always stays within the
above range of laser beam emission until the turn-round motions is completed.
If the aiming is out of above range while RC-2RW is in turn-round motions, the
turn-round could not be completed.
●
At greater distances, the laser light at the edge of the emitting range (angle) will
be weaker; therefore, the RC-2RW must be aimed correctly.
Note
●
The settings and conditions of communication are prerequisites for the optical
communications to take place between the total station and RC-2RW.
Note
●
Total station must be kept apart from reflecting planes such as glass
and white walls. Reflected light may prevent it from correct prism
searching and from auto tracking. In this case, change the power
mode of RC-2RW to the low power mode to decrease the output of
laser beam. To change the power mode, see “Low Power mode of
Laser Beam” on page 17.
●
Ensure that RC-2RW remains as motionless as possible when the total
station is in turn-round motions. Total station otherwise may not be able
to search prism correctly, requiring extra time for the task.
●
The RC-2RW must be aimed so as to capture the total station within a
range of ± 35° in the vertical and horizontal direction during
communicating. (Refer to “Light detecting range” section.)
