1. Trimble 5600 series 1 7 1 Introduction The Central Unit The central unit can be configured with the internal battery the tracklight or the tracker unit You can change between battery unit and tracklight by yourself but the tracker unit must be installed at a Trimble authorized service center 1 8 Trimble 5600 series Internal battery The internal battery gives you 2 hours of continuous use Tracklight Tracklight is a visible guide light which is an aid to the rodman e g when setting out Tracker only for servo instruments The tracker has control of the instruments when using the system for robotic surveying one person system or in Autolock mode The Central Unit Additional Control Units With Trimble 5600 Series you can work with two control units attached at the same time one at the back of the instrument that serves as a master control unit and one at the front that serves as a slave unit Having two control units attached at the same time can be useful having in mind that they also contain internal memories The control unit at the front can also be very useful when measuring in two faces when you want to keep control of the point to measure in face 2 Trimble 5600 series 1 9 1 Introduction Laser and LED Information Trimble 5600 series amp ATS The Trimble 5600 Series amp ATS instruments have been tested and complies with the regulations for a Class 1 LED product See t

5. In general This chapter will describe the different ways of working with Trimble 5600 Series First of all you can work conventionally with the system Since the instrument is equipped with servo drive you ll find that the system is very easy to handle when setting out you can with a touch ofa single key aim the instrument towards the set out point Aiming at the target To get the correct measurement with the instrument it 1s important that you aim at the sight marks of the target and towards the center of the range pole Conventional surveying with servo Your instrument is equipped with servo drive this means a lot of advantages In e g setting out you only need to give the point number The instrument will calculate and aim automatically towards the precalculated bearing with a single press of the positioning key For angle measurements just aim towards the different reflector stations once The instrument remembers and repeats the aiming process how ever many times and in what ever order you want During manual aiming the servo assists the horizontal and vertical adjustments All that s needed is a light circular movement of the adjustment screw with your finger tip Thanks to servo drive adjustments screws have no end positions That means no unnecessary interruptions when aiming 2 2 Trimble 5600 series In general Autolock Secondly you can equip your instrument with a tracker unit and take full advantag
6. and using the instrument s Tracker To achieve the highest accuracy when measuring distances shorter than 200 meters and using the Tracker unit you need to be aware of the following Always use the Miniature Prism Part no 571 126 060 or 571 204 312 mounted on your RMT If you use a large reflector like the Super Prism Part no 571 125 021 reflections from the Tracker unit may have influence on the measured distance The error can vary from 0 to 3 mm This error doesn t occur using the Miniature Prism 2 4 Trimble 5600 series Conventional surveying with Autolock Aiming The adjustment between the two optical axes 1 e the Telescope and the Tracker may differ The difference will make it seem like the instrument does not point towards the centre of the prism when using Autolock see fig Below This is not a problem since the two axis have their own collimation data It is however important to make collimation test for both axes Without Autolock Manual aiming With Autolock How to check You can check how good the instrument is calibrated yourself by measuring towards the same prism with and without Autolock and compare the displayed angles Trimble 5600 series 2 5 2 Surveying methods Without Autolock The instrument shows the angles for the tube With Autolock The instrument shows the angles for the tracker If the angle deviations are large you should
