Foreword

Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON RC-4 Remote control system-4.
For the best performance of the instrument, please read these brief instructions carefully, and 
keep them in a convenient location for future reference.

This system has the following features:

•

Enables wireless communications between a built-in wireless total station

 

(TS 9 series) / imaging 

station IS / Quick station QS (hereafter referred as “TS/IS/QS”) and an RC-4R on the prism side, 
which allows one-man survey with the use of a data collector.

•

Has the turn-round function with which more efficient one-man survey is possible.

Turn-round motions
Refer to “Light Emitting Angle” on page 16 and “Light Detecting Range” on page 17.
RC-4R should be kept aiming so that the TS/IS/QS always stays within the above range of laser beam 
emission until the turn-round motions are completed.
If the aiming is out of above range while RC-4R is in turn-round motions, the turn-round could not be 
completed.
