1.1. Note

Don’t collimate the sun directly

Avoid insolating the instrument, and don’t collimate the sun directly for protecting eyes and instrument.

Avoid the vibrations on the instrument

When transporting, keep the instrument in the case and try your best to lighten vibrations.

Carry the instrument

When carrying, the instrument handle must be hold tight.

Check the battery power

is better to replace the battery after having powered off the instrument.

Set up the instrument on the tripod

When using it please insure the connection between tripod and instrument is firm. It is better to work with wooden

tripod for the measurement accuracy.

Assemble the tribrach on the instrument

The setting of tribrach would influence the accuracy. The tribrach should be checked frequently, the screw which

connects the tribrach and alidade must be locked tightly. And the central fixing screw should be tight.

High temperature condition

Don’t put the instrument in high temperature condition for a long time, it is bad for the instrument performance.

Temperature changing sharply

Stonex R25/R25LR Total Station - User Manual 4

The sharp temperature changing on the instrument or prism will shorten the distance measurement range, for

example, after taking the instrument out from a warm car to a cold condition, wait for some time, it can be used

when it adapts the surrounding condition.
