Remote
This configuration works for the Topcon 800 series running in remote mode (radio link active, equipment operation
driven from the prism). The optional RC unit, mounted on the prism pole, provides a “quick lock” feature for rapidly
guiding the instrument to the prism. Additionally, the RC provides an alternative to radios allowing limited remote
communication between the data collector and instrument. Be sure that the RC unit is pointed directly at the instrument
before executing a “quick lock.”
To operate in remote mode, on the instrument obtain the 6-icon menu, press F1 for Program, F6 for More, then F3 for
External Link. Press F2 to verify your currents settings, then hit Escape and press F1 to execute the remote settings.
Type: Topon Remote has two types in addition to the standard Cable, Bluetooth, and Radio options. The two additional
types support RC Only communication using either Bluetooth or Cable. If RC Only is selected use the RC tab
(described below) to specify which type of RC unit is in use.
