FOREWORD

Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Laser Scanner, GLS-1000 series.

For the best performance of the instruments, please carefully read these instructions

and keep them in a convenient location for future reference.

General Handling Precautions

Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is

functioning correctly with normal performance.

Using the instrument on rainy days

It may not be possible to use the instrument if there are water drops on the glass of the

windows.

It is also not possible to scan wet objects.

Horizontally rotating part (head)

Do not turn the head with your hands while the power is ON. If it has been turned by force, turn

the power ON again.

Waterproof property

The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IPX2, therefore it can

withstand light rain. However, in case of heavy rain, there is no guarantee that the instrument

will be protected from waterdrops.

Setting the instrument on a tripod

When mounting the instrument on a tripod, use a wooden tripod.

Do not use a metallic tripod.

Installing the tribrach

If the tribrach is installed incorrectly, the measuring precision could be effected. Occasionally

check the adjusting screws on the tribrach. Make sure the base fixing lever is locked and the

base fixing screws are tightened.

Guarding the instrument against shocks

When transporting the instrument, provide some protection to minimize risk of shocks. Heavy

shocks may cause the measurement to be faulty.

Exposing the instrument to extreme heat.

Do not leave the instrument in extreme heat for longer than necessary. It could adversely

affect its performance.

Sudden changes of temperature

Any sudden change of temperature to the instrument may result in a reduction of measuring

distance range, i.e when taking the instrument out from a heated vehicle. Let instrument

acclimate itself to ambient temperature.

Battery level check

Confirm battery level remaining before operating.

Battery use

Always use four batteries as one set, and operate the instrument with batteries that have been

charged and discharged the same number of times. Do not mix old and new batteries, or

batteries that have been charged and discharged a different number of times.

Taking the battery out

It is recommended not to take the battery out during the power is on. Please do your

assembling or taking the battery out after the power is off.Refer to Chapter 4.5 “Replacing the

Battery” if you need to replace the batteries during scanning.

External power source

Use only recommended batteries or external power source. Use of batteries or an external

power source not recommended by us may result in equipment failure.

Carrying the instrument

Because this instrument is heavy,

make sure to carry it carefully using

both the handle and the handgrip.

There is a possibility that the

instrument may topple and fall

resulting in possible injury. Incorrect

lifting posture may also result in

hurting your back.
