Foreword Thank you very much for purchasing MPE-822R/825R series total station! This manual makes all round introduction of the new type total station in details. Please read this manual carefully before using the instrument. Features: 1． Menu display with icons MPE-822R/825R total station adopts icon menu, which is of high intelligence degree, powerful functions, and easy operation. Besides, it can tailor measuring programs for client to fulfill requirements of various professional surveys and engineering surveys. 2． Absolute digital index The instrument is preassembled with absolute digital index; measuring can be directly carried out once the instrument is started. Information of direction angle will not be lost event when power is reset during the operation. 3． Powerful memory management The instrument is designed with 32M memory that can store up to 40,000 measurement data or coordinate data; memory management can be easily carried out to add, delete, modify and transmit data. 4．

More delicate telescope lens

The new generation MPE-822R/825R total station, on the basis of the original version, is more scientifically and reasonably designed in appearance and internal structure. The telescope lens is more delicate that enables easier measurement. 5．

Preloaded with road measurement program

Besides normally-used basic measurement mode (Angle Measurement, Distance Measurement, Coordinate Measurement) and special measurement programs (REM, Offset-measurement Mode, MLM, Stake-out, Layout, Resection, Area Measurement), the instrument is also preloaded with road measurement program that greatly facilitates control survey, topographic survey, and engineering layout. 6． Simplified Chinese display (just for Chinese version) MPE-822R/825R total station (Chinese version) adopts simplified Chinese display in 7 lines of clear and good-looking characters, greatly facilitating instrument operation.

Precautions: 1. Avoid aiming the objective lens at the sun in case of measuring under direct sunlight. It is recommended to use a solar filter to relieve the influence. 2. In case the laser is transmitted to the object surface in a tilt way, the measured value may be incorrect for laser weakening or diffusion. 3. In case of surveying on road, the instrument may not calculate correct result in a correct way for the interference of laser reflected around 4. Do not store the instrument in high temperature and low temperature environment; nor to store it in an environment where temperature is likely to change abruptly (except climate change during operation). 5. The instrument not to be used shall be placed in a case and stored in a dry location where shock, dust and humidity are prevented. 6. In case there is a great difference between the temperature of the working environment and that of the storage environment, the instrument shall be kept in the case first and shall not be used until it has adapted to the ambient temperature. 7. The battery shall be removed and stored separately in case the instrument is not to be used for a long time; besides, the battery shall be charged once every month. 8. The instrument to be transported shall be placed in a case. Operate carefully during transportation; avoid squeezing, bumping and violent vibration. Soft cushion is recommended around the case for long distance transportation. 9. Wood tripod is recommended for erecting the instrument for that metal tripod may result in vibration and finally affects measurement precision. 10. Except absorbent cotton or lens tissue, never use other objects to clean exposed optical components. Cleaning shall be done softly. 11. Use lint or hair brush to remove dust on the instrument surface after operation. Never power and start a wetted instrument, it shall be cleaned dry with a clean cloth and placed to air for some time. 12. Check the instrument carefully before operation for confirming that all the indexes, functions, power, initial settings and modified parameters are as required. 13. To avoid unnecessary instrument damage, non-professional personnel are not authorized to dismantle the instrument in case that instrument function is abnormal.

6.6 Stake-out (S.O.) S.O. program can help the user in staking out each point on site according to the point and coordinate value. Coordinate value can be transmitted between instrument memory and computer. Communication parameters such as baud rate, parity check, data bit, and stop bit can be set on the instrument. Coordinate data is composed of points (N, E, Z). Coordinate data is saved in file name; a file name can have up to 7 characters. Up to 1000 file names can be saved in instrument memory. Either digits or characters can form a file name. File name can be renamed in file management options. If no input point can be found in file during S.O. setting, the program prompts the user to input the coordinate of the point. In case of point repetition in a file, the last point saved in the memory will be used; other points of identical PT# will be neglected at the same time. In resection or Side Shot measurement, a file name shall be created or selected to save coordinate value; otherwise, MPE-822R/825R total station will automatically create a default file name (LAY001). The 1st default file name is composed of three alphabets and three digits (LAY001). If there are a number of file names available, coordinate data will be saved in the current file name. The software provides two ways to delete coordinate point, which are Erase a Block’ Point and Erase One Point. In new-point options, two methods as Side Shot measurement or resection program can be selected to calculate and save coordinate value to the current file. In Side Shot measurement program, measured distance and angle are used to calculate coordinate. Z coordinate is used to calculate instrument height and prism height. The angle and distance (saved in the file) between the occupied point of resection program mode and the two known points are used to measure and calculate the coordinate of the new occupied point. The residual errors of HD and height will be displayed after measuring of known points is completed. New occupied point can be recorded into the file with an option.

When collecting data with Side Shot method, the observer can select whether to set back-sight (BS) azimuth. The software provides such two options as Set Azimuth and Skip Over. Note: the observer can skip over Set Back-sight Azimuth option in data collection with Side Shot method in case that back-sight azimuth is set in stake-out and the station is not moved as well as that the instrument is not powered off. It is recommended to check back-sight azimuth before collecting data with Side Shot method. Once BS azimuth is set, input the No. of the measured point and prism height, and then collimate the instrument to prism to start collecting the coordinate data of the point. Install the instrument over a known point, measure the coordinate of the new point with Side Shot (polar coordinate) method.

6.7 Line Measurement Line Measurement program is for measuring the height of an inaccessible object above a ground point. Both the objects above and the points along the established base line are inaccessible. Set two prisms, A and B, apart from each other below the object to form a base line. Set the horizontal distance values between the instrument and both prism A and B and save the values. The screen then shows the vertical distance from prism A and B, the horizontal distance from the instrument to prism B, and the distance along the base line and the screen will also display the vertical distance and horizontal distance from prism A to that point. Therefore, the vertical distance between the two ends points of the base line, Points G and L in the diagram, can be measured.

6.8 Offset Measurement Mode Offset Measurement has totally four modes: 1． 2． 3． 4．

Angle offset measurement Distance offset measurement Plane offset measurement Column offset measurement

6.8.1 Angle Offset Measurement Mode This mode is useful when direct prism setup is difficult, for example, at the center of a tree. In this mode, the horizontal distance from the instrument to Point P (prism point) shall be the same as that from the instrument to the target point. Go on with offset measurement after setting up instrument height/prism height, from which the center position coordinate of the measured object is at hand. To measure the project of A0 (the coordinate of ground Point A1), set instrument height and prism height To measure the coordinate of Point A0, just set instrument height (prism height is set as “0”).

87

Maple International Instrument

Prism P

HD (r) = HD (f) HD (r): HD from prism to the instrument. HD (f): HD from the measured point to the instrument

There are two ways to set vertical angle in Angle Offset Measurement Mode. 1. Free vertical angle: the vertical angle is changed along the up-and-down turning of the telescope. 2. Hold vertical angle: vertical angle is held that it is not changed for telescope turning. Therefore, if A0 is collimated in the first way, the vertical angle is changed along the up-and-down turning of the telescope; slope distance (SD) and height difference (VD) will also be changed. If A0 is collimated in the second way, the vertical angle is held to prism position and will not be changed for telescope turning. Operation steps

6.8.3 Plane Offset Measurement Mode This function is for measuring the position of points where direct measuring cannot be done, for example, the distance or coordinate of an edge of a plane. To use this function, three random target points (P1, P2, P3) shall be measured first to determine a reference plane (measured plane); then collimate the measured target point (P0). The instrument now calculates and displays the coordinate and distance values of the cross point between the collimation axis and the plane.

11 Check and Adjustment The instrument has been qualified by checking and calibrating rigorously before delivery. However, the internal structure may be affected for long-distance transportation or environment change; therefore, in order to ensure measurement precision, make sure to check and adjust all the items of the instrument as specified in this section after receiving and before using the instrument.

128

Maple International Instrument

11.1 Plate Level

·Check See section 4.2 “Level the instrument with plate level” ·Adjustment 1. Adjust with the leveling screw that is parallel with the plate level first if the plate level bubble is deviated from the center during adjustment; move the bubble to the center for nearly half of the deviation. The remained half to the center is adjusted by turning the level’s adjustment screw (on the right of the plate level) with the adjusting pin. 2. Rotate the instrument for 180° to check that whether the bubble is in the center. Repeat step (1) if the bubble is not in the center until the bubble is centered. 3. Rotate the instrument for 90°, adjust the bubble to the center with the third leveling screw. ·Repeat check and adjustment steps until the bubble is in the center regardless of the direction of the collimation part.

11.2 Circular Level ·Check No adjustment is needed if the bubble of the circular level is centered after plate level check is confirmed correct. ·Adjustment Center the bubble by adjusting the adjusting screw below the bubble with the adjusting pin or Allen wrench if the bubble is not centered. To adjust, release the adjusting screw (1 or 2) opposite to the direction of bubble deviation, then tighten other adjusting screws in the deviation direction to center the bubble. The tightening force of the three adjusting screws must be in correspondence when the bubble is centered.

11.3 Check & Adjustment of Telescope Reticule ·Check 1. Level the instrument; then select a target point A in the vision range of the telescope. Collimate point A with the cross-hair of the reticule and secure the horizontal and vertical clamp screw. 129

Maple International Instrument

2. Move point A to the edge of the site by turning the vertical tangent screw of the telescope (point A’). 3. If point A moves along the vertical hair of the reticule, it means point A’ is still within the vertical hair, no adjustment is necessary if the cross-hair is not inclined. If point A’ is deviated from the center of the vertical hair as shown below, it means the cross-hair is inclined. Adjustment of reticule is needed.

·Adjustment 1. Remove the reticule cover between the eyepiece and the focusing screw to expose the four reticule securing adjusting screws (see the figure below). 2. Loosen the four securing screws with a screwdriver uniformly; rotate reticule base around the collimation axis to locate point A’ on the vertical hair. 3. Tighten the securing screws uniformly; check and adjust the result with above method. 4. Relocate the cover in the original place. Securing screw Securing screw

Eyepiece

11.4 Verticality of the Collimation Axis to the Horizontal Axis (２Ｃ) ·Check 1. Set target point A away from the instrument at the height same with the instrument, precisely level the instrument and power on. 2. Collimate target point A at the left face, read the horizontal angle. (e.g.: horizontal angle Ｌ＝10°13′10″) 3. Turn the telescope during releasing the vertical and horizontal clamp screw, with the right face of the collimation part turned to collimate the same point A. tighten the horizontal and vertical clamp screws before collimating, read the horizontal angle. 130

4 cross-hair adjusting screws

3 reticule securing screws

·Adjustment 1. Adjust the horizontal angle reading with horizontal tangent screws until C is cleared. Ｒ＋Ｃ＝190°13′40″－15″＝190°13′25″。 2. Remove the reticule base cover between the eyepiece and the focusing screw, adjust the two cross-hair adjusting screws on the right and left of the reticule; loosen the screws one side first and then secure those on the other side; move the reticule to collimate the center of the cross-hair with target point A. 3. Repeat the steps for checking and adjust until ｜2C｜＜20″ which is as required. 4. Relocate the cover in the original place.

11.5 Vertical Index Zero Compensation ·Check 1. Erect and level the instrument to have the pointing direction of the telescope to be corresponding with the line connecting the instrument center and any leveling screw X; now tighten the horizontal clamp screw. 2. Reset the vertical index after startup and tighten the vertical clamp screw. The instrument displays the current vertical angle of the direction in which the telescope points. 3. Turn leveling screw X in one direction to about 10mm circular pitch, the displayed vertical angle changes along moving and finally disappears and replaced by “out” displayed, indicating the instrument’s vertical axis tilt has exceeded 3’, which is beyond the designed range of the vertical angle compensation. When the leveling screw is turned back, the instrument’s vertical angle is restored. Repeat the test at the critical location to observe the change, indicating the vertical compensation is in good order. ·Adjustment Have the instrument inspected by the manufacturer in case of compensation out of work.

11.6 Vertical Index Difference ( i angle) Vertical Index 0Set This item follows checks specified in section 11.3 and 11.5. ·Check 1. Erect and level the instrument, then start. Collimate the telescope with any clear target point A to generate face left vertical angle L. 131

11.7 Optical Plummet ·Check 1. Erect the instrument on tripod; place a piece of paper drawn with a cross on the ground directly under the instrument. 2. Adjust the focus of the focus of the optical plummet, then move the paper to center the cross on the paper at the center of the location. 3. Turn the leveling screw to coincide the center mark of the plummet with the crosspoint on the paper. 4. Rotate the collimation part. For each 90°, observe the coincidence of the plummet center mark with the crosspoint. 5. If the center mark of the optical plummet always coincides with the crosspoint during collimation part rotation, no adjustment is needed. Otherwise, adjust with the following method.

4 plummet adjusting screws

·Adjustment 1. Remove the cover of the adjusting screws between the eyepiece of the optical plummet and the focusing screw. 2. Fix the paper drawn with a cross and mark the paper with the center mark points of the plummet for each 90° rotation of the instrument as A, B, C, D shown in the figure. 3. Connect diagonal point AC and BD with bee lines, generating crosspoint O. 4. Adjust the four adjusting screws of the plummet with adjusting pin to coincide the center mark of the plummet with point O. 5. Repeat check step 4, check and adjust until it is as required. 6. Relocate the cover in the original place.

11.8 Instrument Constant (K) Instrument constant have been checked and adjusted before delivery, factory setting K =0. Seldom does instrument constant change. But we still recommend checking and adjusting once to twice every year. The check is suitable to be done on standard base line or with the method ad stated below: ·Check 133

Maple International Instrument

1. Select a flat site and erect and level the instrument at point A. Mark, with vertical hair, point A, B and B, C on the ground that are on the same straight line and with a distance of about 50m. Center and erect reflection prism. 2. After setting the instrument with temperature and pressure data, measure out the horizontal distance of AB, AC. 3. Erect the instrument at point C and center it, precisely measure out the horizontal distance of BC. 4. The measurement constant of the instrument can be calculated out. K＝ＡＣ－(ＡＢ＋ＢＣ) K should be close to０; if ｜K｜＞6ｍｍ, the instrument must be sent to standard base line site for rigorous check and then adjusted according to the check value. Approx. 50m

Approx. 100m

·Adjustment In case it has been proved through rigorous check that Instrument constant K is not close to 0 and has been changed, if user adjustment is necessary, set the addition constant of the instrument as comprehensive constant K. ●Orient with the vertical hair of the instrument, strictly locate point A, B, C on the same straight line. Ground of point B should have robust and clear centering mark. ●Coincidence of point B prism center and instrument center is crucial for ensuring measurement precision; therefore, tripod and tribrach suitable for both are recommended for point B. if to replace with tri-point prism connector and tribrach, the tripod and tribrach shall be kept stand still, just replace prism and instrument part above the tribrach, which can reduce coincidence error.

11.9 Parallelism between Collimation Axis and Laser Shooting Axis

Approx. 50m

·Check 1. Erect reflection prism 50m away from the instrument. 2. Collimate reflection prism center with the cross-hair of the telescope. 3. Power on and enter distance measurement mode, press SD (or HD) to measure distance. Turn the horizontal tangent screw left and right, turn the vertical tangent screw up and down to collimate electrically. Find the center of laser shooting axis of distance measurement through the left and right, up and down zone lighted by the laser beam. 4. Check the coincidence of the cross-hair center of the telescope and the collimation center of laser shooting; basically coinciding means that it is acceptable. ·Adjustment If the deviation between the cross-hair center of the telescope and the collimation center of laser shooting is too big, have the instrument calibrated by professional organization.

11.10 Base Leveling Screw In case of leveling screw loosening, adjust the two adjusting screws for base leveling screw. Tighten the screw to suitable compression force.

11.11 Assembly Parts for Reflection Prism １ Reflection prism base connector Make sure the plate level and optical plummet on base connector has been checked correctly. For check steps, please refer to section 11.1 and 11.7. ２ Centering rod verticality As shown in the figure of section 11.7, draw a cross at point C and with the lower tip of the centering rod standing at C, which shall not be moved during the check. The two supporting feet e and f are supported over E and F of the cross respectively. Adjust the length of e and f to center the bubble of the circular level of the centering rod. Erect and level the instrument at point A not far away from the cross line; collimate tip C with the center 135

Maple International Instrument

of the cross-hair and tighten the horizontal clamp screw; turn up the telescope to have upper part D of the centering rod to be close to the horizontal hair; dNEZ centering rod just extend or draw back support leg e to move D left and right to collimate cross-hair center. Now, both point C and D shall be on the center line of the cross. Erect the instrument on point B of another cross line and in the same way, just extend and draw back support leg f to coincide point D of the centering rod with the cross center line at point C. Through instrument adjustment at point A and B, the center rod has been vertical. Now if the bubble of the circular level on the rod is deviated from the center, adjust the three adjusting screws under the circular level to center it. Check once again until the centering rod is vertical in both directions and the round bubble is centered.
