8. FOCUSSING AND TARGET SIGHTINGCaution• When sighting the target,strong light shining directly into theobjective lens may cause the instrument to malfunction.Protectthe objective lens from direct light by attaching the lens hood.• Observe to the same point of the reticle when the telescopeface is changed. PROCEDURE1. Focus on the reticleLook through the telescope eyepieceat a bright and featurelessbackground.Turn the eyepiece clockwise, thencounterclockwise little by little untiljust before the reticle image becomesfocussed.Using these procedures, frequentreticle refocussing is not necessary,since your eye is focussed at infinity.2. Sight the targetLoosen the vertical and horizontalclamps, then use the peep sight tobring the target into the field of view.Tighten both clamps.3. Focus on the targetTurn the telescope focussing ring tofocus on the target.Turn the vertical and horizontal finemotion screws to align the target withthe reticle.The last adjustment of each finemotion screw should be in theclockwise direction.4. Readjust the focus until there is noparallaxReadjust the focus with the focussingring until there is no parallax betweenthe target image and the reticle.24

8. FOCUSSING AND TARGET SIGHTINGEliminating parallaxThis is the relative displacement of the target image with respect to thereticle when the observer’s head is moved slightly before the eyepiece.Parallax will introduce reading errors and must be removed beforeobservations are taken. Parallax can be removed by refocussing thereticle.25

13. RESECTION MEASUREMENTPrecaution when performing resectionIn some cases it is impossible to calculate the coordinates of anunknown point (instrument station) if the unknown point and three ormore known points are arranged on the edge of a single circle.An arrangement such as that shown below is desirable.: Unknown point: Known pointIt is sometimes impossible to perform a correct calculation in a case such as theone below.When they are on the edge of a single circle, take one of the following measures.1. Move the instrumentstation as close aspossible to the centerof the triangle.2. Observe one moreknown point which isnot on the circle3. Perform a distancemeasurement on atleast one of the threepoints.Caution : • In some cases it is impossible to calculate the coordinates ofthe instrument station if the included angle between the knownpoints is too small. It is difficult to imagine that the longer thedistance between the instrument station and the known points,the narrower the included angle between the known points. Becareful because the points can easily be aligned on the edge ofa single circle.51

24. CHANGING THE SETTINGSAtmospheric correction factorThe SET measures the distance with a beam of light, but the velocityof this light varies according to the index of refraction of light in theatmosphere. This index of refraction varies according to thetemperature and air pressure.• To precisely determine the atmospheric correction factor, theaverage temperature and air pressure along the measurement beamroute must be taken. Take care when calculating the correction factorin mountainous terrain as the difference in height will result indifferences in atmospheric conditions between two points.• The SET is designed so that the correction factor is 0 ppm at an airpressure of 1013 hPa and a temperature of 15°C.• By inputting the temperature and air pressure values, theatmospheric correction value is calculated and set into the memory.Calculate the atmospheric correction factor as shown in the followingformula.0.2904 x air pressure (hPa)ppm = 278.96 -1 + 0.003661 x air temperature (°C)• If the weather correction is not required, set the ppm value to 0.Prism constant correctionReflective prisms each have their prism constant.Set the prism constant correction value of the reflective prism you areusing.• The following are samples of the prism constant correction values ofreflective prisms from Sokkia.AP01S+AP01 (Constant=30mm) AP01 (Constant=40mm) CP01 (Constant=0mm)AP01S+AP01 (Constant = 30mm)AP01 (Constant = 40mm)CP01 (Constant = 0mm)Value = 30Value = 40Correction Value = -30 Correction Value = -40 Correction Value Value = 0 = 0104

Also, all parameter settings are saved.Memory backup period is about one week, after which the Resumefunction is cancelled.106

24. CHANGING THE SETTINGSEDM StandbySet the power supply status of the EDM. When the EDM standbyfunction is set to “ON”, the EDM power status is set to standby. Whenis pressed, you can reduce the time until the results aredisplayed.EDM ALCSet the light receiving status of the EDM. While carrying out continuousmeasurement, set this item according to the measurement conditions.• When EDM ALC is set to “Free,” the amount of light received isautomatically adjusted according to the distance between theinstrument and the target and the environment. This is an effectivesetting to use when the target position is changed during continuousmeasurement. During continuous measurement, if an obstacleintermittently obstructs the light beam and the “Signal off” erroroccurs, it takes some time for the amount of light received to beadjusted and the measurement value to be displayed.• When “Hold” is set, the amount of light received remains fixed untilcontinuous measurement is completed. This is an effective way ofstabilizing the light beam returned from the target. After the lightbeam is stabilized, even if an obstacle intermittently obstructs thebeam and the “Signal off” error occurs, after the beam is restoredEDM can soon recognize the target on the same position.Select "Comms setup" in Config modeBaut rate:9600bpsData bits:8bitParity :Not setStop bit :1bitCheck sum:NoXon/Xoff :YesBaud rate: 1200bps*, 2400bps, 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bpsData bits: 8bit*, 7bitParity: Not set*, Odd, EvenStop bit: 1bit*, 2bitCheck sum: Yes, No*Xon/Xoff: Yes*, NoOutput format and command opeartions: “Interfacing with the SOKKIASDR Electronic Field Book” and “Command Operations” manuals.107

24. CHANGING THE SETTINGS24.2 Allocating Key FunctionsIt is possible to allocate the softkeys in Meas mode to suit the measurementconditions. It is possible to operate the SET efficiently because unique softkeyallocations can be preset to suit various applications and the ways that differentoperators handle the instrument.• The current softkey allocations are retained until they are revised again, evenwhen the power is cut off.• It is possible to register two sets of key function allocations: user setting 1 anduser setting 2.• It is possible to recall the softkey arrays registered for User 1 and User 2 asnecessary.Caution• When softkey allocations are recorded and registered, thepreviously recorded key settings are cleared. When a softkeyarray is recalled, the key array is changed to the key array thathas been recalled, clearing the previous key array. Be sure toremember this.●●The following are the softkey allocations when the SET was shipped.Page 1Page 2Page 3The following functions can be allocated to the softkeys.Distance measurementSwitch between angle display and distance displaySet horizontal angle to 0Coordinates measurementRepetition measurementMissing line measurementSetting-out measurementOffset measurementTo Record menuSetting EDMSet required horizontal angle109

26.CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTSA SET is a precision instrument that requires fine adjustments. It must beinspected and adjusted before use so that it always performs accuratemeasurements.• Always perform checking and adjustment in the proper sequence beginningfrom “26.1 Plate Level” to “26.7 Additive Distance Constant”• In addition, the instrument should be inspected with special care after it hasbeen stored a long time, transported, or when it may have been damaged by astrong shock.26.1 Plate LevelThe bubble tube is made of glass, so it is sensitive to temperature changes or toshock. Check and adjust it as outlined below. PROCEDURE Checking and adjusting1. Level the instrument and checkthe position of the bubble of theplate level.“7.2 Levelling” steps 3 to 5.2. Turn the upper part through 180°and check the bubble position.If the bubble is still centered, noadjustment is necessary.If the bubble is off-center, adjust asfollows.3. Correct half of the bubbledisplacement using levellingfoot screw C.4.

Turn the upper part through180° and check the position ofthe surveying point in thereticle.If the surveying point is stillcentered, no adjustment isnecessary.If the surveying point is no longercentered in the optical plummet,perform the following adjustment. PROCEDURE Adjustment3. Correct half the deviation withthe levelling foot screw. 1/2128

26. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS4. Remove the optical plummetreticle cover.5. Use the 4 adjusting screws ofthe optical plummet to adjustthe remaining half of thedeviation as shown below.When the surveying point is on thelower (upper) part of theillustration:Loosen the upper (lower) adjustingscrew slightly, and tighten theupper (lower) adjusting screw thesame amount to move thesurveying point to a point directlyunder the center of the opticalplummet.(It will move to the line in the figureon the right.)If the surveying point is on the solidline (dotted line):Loosen the right (left) adjustingscrew slightly and, tighten the left(right) adjusting screw by the sameamount to move the surveyingpoint to a point in the center of theoptical plummet.1 (2)2 (1)Be extremely careful to adjust all the adjustment screws by theCautionsame amount so that none will be over-tightened.6. Check to make sure that thesurveying point remains centeredon the reticle even if the upperpart of the instrument is rotated.If necessary, perform the adjustmentagain.7. Replace the optical plummetreticle cover.4(3)3(4)129

26. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS26.7 Additive Distance ConstantThe additive distance constant K of the SET is adjusted to 0 before delivery.Although it almost never deviates, use a baseline with a known distance precisionto check that the additive distance constant K is close to 0 several times a yearand whenever the values measured by the instrument begin to deviate by aconsistent amount. Perform these checks as follows.Caution• Errors in setting up the instrument and reflective prism or insighting the target will influence the additive distance constant.Be extremely careful to prevent such errors when performingthese procedures.• Set up so that the instrument height and the target height areidentical. If a flat place is not available, use an automatic levelto make sure the heights are identical. PROCEDURE Check1. Find an area of flat groundwhere two points 100m apartcan be selected.Set up the Instrument at point Aand the reflective prism at point B.Establish a point C half waybetween points A and B.2. Precisely measure the horizontaldistance between point A andpoint B 10 times and calculatethe average value.3. Place the SET at point C directlybetween points A and B and setup the reflective prism at pointA.ACBACB4. Precisely measure the horizontaldistances CA and CB 10 timeseach and calculate the averagevalue for each distance.130

26. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS5. Calculate the additive distanceconstant K as follows.K = AB - (CA(CB)6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 two or threetimes.If the additive distance constant Kis within ±3mm even once,adjustment is unnecessary.If it always exceeds this range,have your Sokkia servicerepresentative perform anadjustment.131
