Read this manual carefully before using the RD-80SA in work applications.

Precautions for use

・

Be sure to only use the AC adapter supplied with this instrument, or a separately sold
authorized AC adapter. Using a non-authorized AC adapter may result in a malfunction. The
input voltage should be 100 VAC to 240 VAC, and the power supply frequency should be 50
Hz to 60 Hz.

・

For energy saving, when the unit will not be used for an extended period of time,

unplug the

power plug from the socket.

・

Keep the instrument away from water and liquid. This instrument is not water-resistant.

・

Before using this instrument, be sure to warm it up for at least 30 minutes. If this instrument
is not warmed up, output fluctuation may affect the measurement values, preventing highly
accurate measurement results from being obtained.

・

When using this instrument over a prolonged period of time, activate the Auto calibrate
function. Output fluctuation of the photo detector may prevent highly accurate measurement
results from being obtained.

・

Do not use this instrument for measuring bright objects that exceed the measurement range,
or for measuring extremely bright objects such as the sun. Doing so may damage the photo
detector and prevent stable measurement.

・

Do not use this instrument in dusty, very damp or humid areas, or in areas where corrosive
gas may be generated.

・

Do not use this instrument in areas where sudden changes in temperature might occur. This
instrument contains a temperature compensation function. However, stable measurement
may not be possible in environments where there are sudden changes in temperature.

・

Do  not  subject  this  instrument  to  heavy  impact  such  as  dropping  it.  Also,  avoid  using  or
storing  this  instrument  in  areas  subjected  to  constant  vibration.  This  instrument  uses  high-
precision  optical  parts  and  subjecting  it  to  harsh  conditions  might  cause  a  malfunction.
Prevent  this  instrument  from being  subjected  to  direct  vibration  or impact  by  placing it  in  a
carrying case (optional accessory) when carrying it.

・

When storing this instrument, put it in a carrying case (Optional accessory), and store it at
room temperature. Do not store the instrument in a hot or humid environment such as inside
an automobile.

・

To maintain measurement precision, perform calibration and maintenance on average once
a year. When performing calibration, consult with your dealer or Topcon Technohouse
Corporation.

・

When requesting calibration, put this instrument in its carrying case (Optional accessory),
and then put it in a cardboard box packed with shock-absorbing material before sending it.

・

When calibration is performed, the measurement data stored in this instrument is deleted.
Be sure to transfer the measurement data to a PC before requesting calibration.

・

Please do not peel off the sticker stuck on the back of the main unit. If you peel it off, all
warranty will be invalid.
