Laser safety information
In the series products is equipped with laser source, and
you shall not directly watch light in the point aligner so as
to avoid being hurt in the eyes.
Do not frequently start and shut down the laser point
aligner, which may cause damage to it.
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions concerning water and dust resistance
Do not put the instrument in the water. The instrument
conforms to IPX4, so the normal rain can not damage to the
instrument.
Be sure to close the battery cover and correctly attach the
connector caps to protect the SET from moisture and dust
particles.
Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the
instrument is dry before closing the case. If moisture is
trapped inside the case, it may cause the instrument to rust.
Never place the instrument directly on the ground. Sand or
EN
dust may cause damage to the screw holes or the centering
screw on the base plate.
Using
Mount the instrument on the wooden tripod, because the
metal tripod will shake, and it will decrease the observing
precision.
The tribrach will affect the precision of the instrument, so you
should check the screw on it. It must be tighten in order to
protect the instrument.
Before your measurement, check all the settings and the
parameter of the instrument carefully.
Never carry the instrument on the tripod to another site.
Turn the power off before removing the battery.
Other precautions
If the instrument is moved from a warm place to an extremely
cold place, internal parts may contract and make the keys
difficult to operate. This is caused by cold air trapped inside
the hermetically sealed casing. If the keys do not depress,
open the battery cover to resume normal functionality. To
prevent the keys from becoming stiff, remove the connector
caps before moving the instrument to a cold place.
Protect the instrument from heavy shocks or vibration.

1.2 Unpacking and packing

1.Before using the instrument Take out the instrument from the case
1.1 Parts of the instrument ① Lays down the instrument case with lid up.
② Unlock the case open it.
③ Takes out the instrument from the case with care.

Put instrument back to the case

① Cover lens of the telescope with the lid.
② Make the instrument horizontal with vertical brake handwheel
and circular bubble face up. And objective lens faces down. Put the
instrument back to the case.
③ Close the case and lock it.

1.3 Using the battery

1.3.1 Cautions
When the instrument is working on , don’t remove the battery.
Before removing the battery, turn off the power to the
instrument.
When installing/removing the battery, make sure that moisture
or dust particles do not come in contact with the inside of the
instrument.
Periodically wipe clean the pole with the cleaning cloth to keep
them free of dirt.
Please charge the battery at this temperature range 0℃~45℃.
Before storing the battery, you should charge it full, and you
should charge it every three months at least. If not doing so,
the battery will discharge by itself, and the voltage will be very
EN
low. Life of the battery will be affected.
The temperature and the humidity will affect the battery
discharge speed. So we advice you store the battery in a dry
room and the temperature range should be 0℃~20℃.
1.3.2 Charging procedure
① Connect the battery case with the charger.
② Plug the charger into the wall outlet. Mount the battery in the
charger. Make sure the battery contact the charger well. When
charging starts, the red lamp starts blinking.
③ The lamp light turns to green when charging is finished.
④ When charging finished, unplug the charger and then remove
the battery.
1.3.3 Charger operation manual
Never use this charger with other batteries.
This charger is a speedy set. it will finished the
speed-charging in four hours.
After speed-charging, the capability of the battery will attain
75%~80%. If you want to charge it full, you need 2~4 hours
small current charging.
When the charger is empty or in the small current charging,
the green light will bright. In the speediness status the red
light will bright, when it finished, it will turn into the small
current status.
The battery will not be damaged in the small current status,
but you had better charge the battery not over twenty-four
hours.
If there is much electricity remains in the batteries, the
charger may not come in the speediness status. It will charge
it in the small current status. If you want to charge it
EN
speediness, you must put the batteries in the charger and then
connect the charger with the power supply.
1.3.4 Battery Installation
First of all, align the battery bottom jar with the bump at battery
case to push the battery into the battery case, then block the
battery case in the battery jar inside baffle.
1.3.5 Battery Removal
Use the thumb and index finger to press the battery case clip to
opposite direction to the extreme position, and take out the battery
case from the baffle battery jar at the same time. Then one hand is
taking the battery case and the thumb of the other hand takes out
the battery in an inclined manner when pressing it.
1.3.6 Battery power display
There is a mark on the screen that can be used to check the status
of the battery power.
90-100% 50-90% 10-50% 0-10%
If there is no power, the instrument will give an alarm every ten
seconds, and it will display “Battery is low”. You should finish the
measurement quickly, saving data and changing another battery.
Or not the power will be shut off after one minute

Complete the following EDM settings before the distance
measurement：
Types of cooperative target and prism constant correction value
Distance measurement mode
Atmospheric correction factor
Target types and prism constant setting
There are three types of cooperative targets for option: no
cooperative target, reflector sheet and prism. Before performing
distance measurement, the actual distance measuring cooperative
target must be set in a correct manner. GEO-FENNEL FTD 02 will
automatically adjusts the intensity of the laser beam and switches
the distance measurement display range to match the type of
target used. if the target does not correspond to the target settings,
the range and accuracy of distance measurement may be affected.
EN
In case “Prism” is selected as cooperative target for distance
measurement, the constant correction value of the prism must be
set correctly. It should be noted that: different prisms and various
installation methods of prisms have different prism constant
correction values. The constant for the prism equipped for the
instrument is set as -30 by default.
In case the cooperative target type is set as “Sheet” or “None”,
the prism constant correction value is automatically set as 0.
Selection of distance measurement modes
In case the target type is set as prism or reflector sheet,
GEO-FENNEL FTD 02 will provides 5 kinds of distance
measurement modes: Fine single measur- ement(Fine S), Rapid
Repeat measurement(Rapid R), Tracking measurement(Tracking),
Fine Repeat measurement(Fine R) and Fine Average
measurement(Fine AVE).
Rapid Repeat measurement (approx. 0.8 seconds/time) and
Tracking measurement (approx. 0.3 seconds/time) is suitable for

11.2 Offset measurement

Offset measurements are performed in order to find a point where
a target cannot be installed directly or to find the distance and Target Point
angle to a point which cannot be sighted.
It is possible to find the distance and angle to a point you wish
to measure by installing the target at a location a little distance
Offset Point
from the target point and measuring the distance and angle from
the surveying point to the offset point.
There are two measuring methods: distance offset and angle
offset.
11.2.1 Distance offset measurement
This function is to measure target target point by entering the
horizontal distance from the target point to the offset point.(offset)

Instrument Station
When the offset point is positioned to the left or right of the
target point, make sure the angle formed by lines connecting the
offset point to the target point and to the instrument station is
almost 90°. When the offset point is positioned in front of or behind
of the target point, install the offset point on a line linking the
instrument station with the target point.
