7. BASIC OPERATION
The Remote Controller is operated using the buttons on the control panel.
7.3.1 Power ON/OFF
Press the POWER button to switch ON the Remote Controller. ● POWER is Lit.
Press and hold the POWER button to switch OFF the Remote Controller. An audio tone sounds
twice and ● POWER Flashes before an audio tone sounds and the Remote Controller switches OFF.
7.3.2 Setting Distance Mode
The FAR button is used to set the Distance Mode depending on the distance between the total
station and the Remote Controller.
Pressing the FAR button switches the ● FAR from Lit to Off and vice versa.
Lit: Far Mode
Off: Standard Mode
Set to Far Mode when the distance between the total station and the Remote Controller is over 100m
(normal atmospheric conditions)/150m (good atmospheric conditions).
Atmospheric conditions
• Normal: slight haze, visibility about 20 km, sunny periods, weak scintillation.
• Good: no haze, visibility about 40 km, overcast, no scintillation.
• Set to Standard Mode ( ● FAR is Off) when the total station and Remote Controller are close.
• Using Far Mode ( ● FAR is Lit) when the total station and Remote Controller are close could result
in the emitted laser beam being reflected off nearby objects. If this happens the total station will
complete Turning pointing to the object instead of the Remote Controller.
• Set to Far Mode ( ● FAR is Lit) even when the distance between the total station and the Remote
Controller is 100m or less if the height difference is large.
• Far Mode depletes battery power at a greater rate than Standard Mode.
The FAR button cannot be pressed while the total station is Turning.
7.3.3 Starting Turning Operation
Press the SEARCH button to start Turning operation.
• ● SEARCH Flashes when the total station is currently performing Turning operation.
• When Turning operation is complete, an audio tone sounds and ● SEARCH remains Lit for approx.
2 seconds.
• Press the SEARCH button during operation to stop Turning.
• If the total station fails to detect the prism, a long audio tone sounds and ● SEARCH Flashes
quickly for approx. 2 seconds to indicate that an error has occurred.
