Usage precautions
Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the Electronic
Total Station V-200 series product which you have purchased will provide long-lasting maxi-
mum performance, the precautions in this manual must be followed. Be sure to follow these
instructions and use this product properly at all times.
[Solar observation]
WARNING
Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of sight.
Never point the objective lens directly at the sun as this may damage internal components.
When using the instrument for solar observation, be sure to attach the specially designed solar
filter (MU64) to the objective lens.
[Laser beam]
Do not stare into the laser beam. V-200 is a class-II Laser product.
[EDM axis]
The V-200 series EDM is the red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very small.
The beam is emitted from the objective centre. The EDM axis is designed to coincide with the
telescope sight axis (but both axes may deviate slightly because of intense temperature
changes and a long time lapse).
[Target constant]
Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement.
If a different constant is to be used, use the correct constant of the target. The constant is sto-
red in the instrument's memory when turned off.
[Reflectorless]
The measurement range and accuracy of the Reflectorless mode are based on the condition that
laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of a Kodak Gray Card.
The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.
There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions
above at survey work.
There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may not be performed by
dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the target from a
diagonal angle.
There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the
distance when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of
measuring the target on the road.
There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become
longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or
sphere or rugged shape.
There is a possibility that the instrument may not be able to correctly calculate out the
distance by collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes
in front of the target.
11
There is a possibility that the distance may not be correctly measured when measuring a
target in the direction where there is a reflecting object (mirror, stainless board and white
wall, etc.) or under too strong sun light.
In a situation high accuracy may not be expected, perform the measurement by prism.
[Battery & charger]
Do not use any battery or battery charger that is not approved by Pentax as it entails a risk
of damaging the instrument.
If water should happen to splash on the instrument or the battery, wipe it off immediately
and allow it to dry in a dry location. Do not put the instrument in the case until it is
completely dry as this may result in damage to the instrument.
Turn off the power when removing the battery from the instrument as removing the battery
while the power is still on may result in damage to the instrument.
The battery mark displayed on the instrument is only an estimation of remaining battery
power and is not completely accurate. Replace the battery quickly when it is about to run
out of power as the time a battery lasts on one full charge differs depending on conditions
of ambient temperature, and the measurement mode of the instrument.
Confirm the battery level remaining before operating.
[Storage and operating environment]
To prevent making short-circuit when removing the battery and charger from the case and
storing them, apply electrically resistant tape to the poles of the battery. Storing the battery
and charger as it may result in fire or burn injury due to short-circuit.
Avoid storing the instrument in places subject to extreme high, low or radically fluctuating
temperature. (Ambient temperature range during use: 20 C to +50 C)
Distance measurements may take longer when atmospheric conditions are poor such as
when heat shimmer occurs. When storing the instrument, always put it in its case and avoid
storage in dusty location or location subject to vibration or extreme heat or humidity.
Whenever there is a sharp temperature difference between the instruments storage and
usage environment, allow the instrument to adjust to the environment for an hour or more
before using it. Be sure to protect the instrument from the sun if the location is subject to
intense direct sunlight.
During surveys for which the survey precision or atmospheric measurement method has
been defined, measure the atmospheric temperature and pressure separately and enter
those values rather than using the Automatic Atmospheric Correction function.
The battery should be charged approximately once per month if the instrument is to be
stored for an extended period of time. The instrument should also be removed from its case
occasionally and aired out.
In addition to these precautions, be sure to handle the instrument properly at all times follo
wing the descriptions given in the various sections of this manual to assure safe and proper
measurements.
[Transporting and carrying the instrument]
Be careful to protect this instrument from shock of impact and excessive vibration which
may result in damage during transportation and shipment.
When transporting the instrument, always put it in the case and wrap shock absorbing
material around it and be sure it is handled as FRAGILE.
[Checks and repairs]
Always check the instrument before beginning work and check that the instrument is
maintaining the proper level of precision. Pentax bears absolutely no responsibility for
damages due to survey results obtained from surveys conducted without an initial
instrument check.
Never disassemble the instrument, battery or charger, even if you do detect an abnormality,
as there is a risk of fire or electric shock due to short-circuit. If you think the product requires
repair, contact the retail outlet where you purchased it or an authorized repair site.

Pressing changes the target mode.
The target mode is changed sequentially as follows (On The reflectorless models)
Prism Reflectorless.
The selected target mode is stored in the memory even if the power is turned off.
So, next time you can use the same mode.
The target Constant differs according to the selected target mode. So, confirm the target
mode and its Constant shown at the top screen after changing the target.
[Distance measurement by reflectorless (Non-Prism) mode]
The measurement range and accuracy of the Reflectorless mode are determined in
following conditions: a laser beam is emitted perpendicular to the white side of a Kodak
Gray Card.

The measurement range may be influenced by the shape of the target and its environment.
There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy the conditions
above at survey work.
There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or
reduction of the laser beam when the beam comes into the target from a diagonal angle.
There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly when receiving reflected
laser beams from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road.
There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become
longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measures the target of slope or
sphere or rugged shape.
There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly by collecting the
reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes in front of the target.
In the following environments, the distance might not be able to be measured:
There is a reflecting object (mirror, stainless board and white wall, etc.) in the direction of the
target and under too strong sun light.
6.2 Distance measurement
The V-200 series have two distance measurement modes: primary MEAS and second MEAS.
Pressing the one time goes to MEAS and twice goes to second MEAS (continuous
tracking measurement).
The number of shots can be defined. The default is one time. The measuring modes activated
by the above operations can be also changed.
Confirm the target constant before beginning the distance measurement.
Example: MEASURE SHOT at primary MEAS (Factory default setting)
Collimate the telescope at a target and press the once to start measuring the distance.
Once distance measurement has been started, the distance measurement mark remains dis-
played ( ( ( 0 ) ) ) . Upon reception of a reflected light from the target, the instrument beeps
and displays the distance.
If the instrument is in mode B, press the to switch to mode A and
press .
Pressing the after collimating the telescope at the prism starts shot distance
measurement with the MEAS text blinking.Distance measurement is completed and the
MEAS text stops blinking the moment the distance measured by shot measurement is
displayed. During continuous measurement, the MEAS text keeps on blinking. Pressing
the again terminates both distance measurement and blinking the MEAS text.
Pressing cycles through the sets of display items: H.angle/H.dst./V.dst.,
H.angle/V.angle/S.dst. and H.angle/V.angle/H.dst./S.dst./V.dst.
Pressing the or or during distance measurement stops it.
If the shot count for distance measurement has been set to 2 or more in 4 Shot Count", the
distance is measured for the specified number of times to display the average value.
Example: TRACK CONT at second MEAS (Factory default setting)
Collimate the telescope at a Target and press twice in succession to start measuring the
distance, upon reception of reflected light from the target, the instrument beeps and displays
the initial distance value. But it keeps on measuring and displaying the distance continuously
while you move the telescope.
27
If the instrument is in mode B, press to switch to mode A and press twice.
Pressing twice after collimating the telescope at the Target starts Continuous
distance measurement at fast speed with the MEAS text blinking. It remains blinking during
the measurement.
If you press the again, Distance measurement is completed and the MEAS text
stops blinking.
Pressing cycles through the sets of display items: H.angle/H.dst./V.dst.,

11.2 Atmospheric correction
The speed at which light travels through the air varies depending on the temperature and
atmospheric pressure. The V-200 series is designed to measure distances at the speed of light
in order to measure accurately, atmospheric correction needs to be used. The instrument is
designed to correct for weather conditions automatically if the temperature and pressure are
input. Correction is then carried out based on the following formula.
11.3 Calculation formula
K: Atmospheric Correction Constant
P: Atmospheric pressure (hPa)
t: Temperature(C)
Distance after Atmospheric Correction D = Ds (1+K)
Ds:Measured distance when no Atmospheric Correction is used.
hPa and mmHg conversion table
[Converting from hPa to mmHg]
[Converting from mmHg to hPa]
Error when no atmospheric correction is made
When measurement is carried out with no atmospheric correction (with the settings fixed at a
temperature of 15C and an atmospheric pressure of 1013hPa or 760mmHg), the error per 100
meters in temperature and pressure will be shown in the tables below.
When the actual pressure is 1013hPa (760mmHg) and the temperature is 25C, conducting
the measurement with the temperature left at 15C will result in the measurement being short
by 0.9mm per 100 meters.

Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction
Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction refers to correcting both the bending
of the light beam caused by atmospheric refraction and the effect on the height differential
and horizontal distance caused by the earth curvature.
Correction called atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction is initiated to
correct error when the slope distance and vertical angle are caused to determine the
horizontal distance and the height differential, with this instrument, the following formula
is used to correct these factors.
Calculation formula when atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction parameter
is set to ON:
Corrected horizontal distance (H)
Corrected vertical distance (V)
41
Calculation formula when atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction parameter
is set to OFF:
S: Slope distance
: Vertical angle from horizontal
K: Atmospheric refraction coefficient (0.14 or 0.2)
Re: Diameter of earth (6,370 km)
11.4 Distance range
Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies considerably depen-
ding on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the specifications illustrate the values for
both good and normal weather conditions.
It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are Good and when they are
Normal. With this instrument, the conditions noted below are used to differentiate between
the two situations, (good weather conditions for surveying are different from normal weather
conditions, and in surveying situations, cloudy skies are considered more favourable than
sunny skies.)
Weather conditions for measurement ranges are based on the following standard values:
Normal: Visibility of approximately 20 km, with slight shimmer and moderate wind.
Good: Visibility of approximately 40 km, overcast, with no shimmer and moderate wind.

IH and PH
IH stands for Instrument Height and PH stands for Prism Height.
The Power Topo Express screens vary with the chosen settings under 9. Preference of
the PTE main menu.
The V-200 series instrument has the Job name PENTAX as its default setting.
And therefore, the data is stored in the PENTAX Job by default, unless another new Job
name is created. When another Job name is created, the data is stored in the new Job name.
The input range of the X, Y and Z Coordinate is -99999999.998 - +99999999.998.
The input range of the Instrument and Prism height is -9999.998 - +9999.998.
The PC is added together with the PN, Coordinates X, Y, Z and IH (PH or HI) in the STATION
POINT SETUP screen. If you have a PointCodeList saved in the job named POINTCODELIST,
you can easily select one of the PointCodes from that list or edit one of them after pressing
[ENT] while 6. PC is selected. Please, note that a PointCode which is saved in a job with any
other name can not be selected from a list.
There are two coordinate types: Rectangular and Polar Coordinates.
The RO and DO offset are available for both coordinate types. The VO,TO offset and the
remote measurement function are only available when you use Rectangular Coordinates.
(see: 4.5.2 Offset)
Rectangular coordinates are displayed, stored, and sent to three decimal places even if in
COARSE TRACKING mode.
You can change the distance measurement mode during measuring operation by pressing
the EDM key at the MEASURE function.
The same Point Name of the plural polar points can be saved.

Note: Creating several new JOB files and (re)writing data to the same JOB files repeatedly
may slow down the (re)writing of data to the memory. When JOB files are deleted to
free up some memory (in case the memory is almost full), the writing to the memory
might also slow down.
A solution in case the (re)writing of the data becomes slower:
- send the necessary data to PC for backup (see 10. TRANSFER);
- then enter All Clear in the FILE MANAGEMENT menu of PTE.
(use or to select 5. ALL CLEAR in the FILE MANAGEMENT window of PTE.
Then press to clear and format the internal memory. A warning screen will appear,
press to confirm.)
The above procedure will format the inside memory automatically and improve the time of
(re)writing data to the memory.
Be careful, ALL the JOB files will be deleted after this procedure is performed!!
4. MEASURE
An operator can measure the Foresight point Coordinates from the Station point Coordinates
and Backsight Coordinates or the Station point Coordinates and Azimuth, and can store the
Point name and measured Coordinates in the memory. When the Coordinates of the Station
point and Backsight point are already stored in the memory, the new Coordinate input can be
omitted by calling or searching from the point name LIST.
The point name can consist of maximum 15 characters; The Coordinates consist of 8 integers
and 3 decimal numbers. There are two Coordinates types available for the MEASURE function:
Rectangular Coordinates and Polar Coordinates.
An operator can perform the function only when the Telescope is at the Face left posi-
tion.
Select the Target type before performing the .
After measuring rectangular coordinates by function of PTE, it is possible to display
Angle and Distance by switching the key.
When Remote mode is selected, Angle and Distance are also calculated according to the coor-
dinates of the aiming point in real time.

The accuracy of a calculation result decreases as follows:
1) When P1 and P2 are chosen for known points.
(The interior angle between known points is extremely small)
2) When P4 and P6 are chosen for known points.
(The interior angle between known points is extremely large)
3) When the distance from a new point to a known point is extremely short or extremely
long.
4) When a new point (station point) and three or more known points are arranged on the
same circumference. (As illustrated in Fig. 2)
When determining the coordinates of a point using free stationing (by installing an instrument
in the point), the accuracy may not be the same compared to the case where an instrument is
installed on a known point. In the work which needs a high-precision survey, it is not recom-
mended to use this method.

8.2 2D SURFACE
This function calculates the 2D and 3D contour of a polygon and the 2D surface of the area
defined by the polygon.
The polygon can be defined by selecting points, Power Topo Express will then calculate the
contour and 2D surface of the polygon.
Note: The polygon is defined by the points you select. Therefore, the order in which the points
are entered is important.
If you select points by [ALL] or [FROM][TO], the polygon is defined according to the order of
the memory address.
If you select points one by one by pressing , the polygon is defined according to the order
of your selection.
Note: You have to select points in such a way that the line segments that define the
polygon do not intersect.
Note: Up to 1500 points can be selected.

10.4 About DataLink DL-01 Software
DataLink DL01 Software allows you to send collected data by the V-200 to other devices, to
receive coordinates data and to convert the resulting files into a number of common formats.
a) Recommendation for "PN".
It is recommended that "PN" (Point Name) data should consist of less or equal to 4 (one-byte)
numeric characters to convert files with DL-01. Because, it may not be converted properly if
alphabetic characters or more than 5 (one-byte) numeric characters are used for the "PN".
b) Notes for the data transfer.
Please, be careful about following items for the data transfer with "DL-01".
b-1 Type of data which can be transferred.
With Power Topo Express, "POLAR DATA" can be transferred by "DC1" or "AUX" format.
And its possible for the DL-01 to receive/convert POLAR DATA with the DC1 (DC-1Z) format.
b-2 Notes for unit.
If you are requested to select unit when you convert data on DL-01, please select unit accor-
ding to the settings on the V-200.
b-3 Limitation for each format.
Please, use "CSV" or "DC1( DC-1Z) "format to transfer data to/from V-200.
Limitation for the "CSV" format:
With the "CSV" format, "PN" and "PC" (Point Code) data consisting of maximum 15 (one-byte)
characters can be transferred.
Limitations for the "DC1 (DC-1Z)" format:
With "DC1 (DC-1Z)" format, the "PN" data should consist of maximum 11 (one-byte) characters.
And with the "DC1 (DC-1Z)" format "PC" data cannot be transferred.
b-4 Recommended communication settings for the DL-01 transfer software.
To configure DL-01 Communication setting, please read "Configuring the software" in the Help
topics of DL-01.
Please choose the following values:
In the "Settings" panel (Edit>Settings), "Type of Device" should be "V-200" (PCS).
In the "Advanced Comm Settings" panel:

11.8 Elevation Factor
Elevation Factor as used here refers to Average Elevation Correction and Scale Factor carried
out as part of the measurement process among the special functions.
It is effective only with MEAS-Rect., FREE. These reverse corrections are carried out with STAK
(Stakeout, Point To Line). By default, the 1.AVE.ELEV. is set to 0and the 2. SCALE FACT to 1so
that no correction is carried out.
If correction is necessary, input the appropriate values for the AVE.ELEV and SCALE FACT.
Select 8. ELEV. FACTOR using or , and press to view the ELEV. FACTOR screen.
