Concepts— This document outlines the setup instructions to connect the Carlson Explorer to
a Topcon 800X Series Robot using the Hayes BanTamX3 Communication System. Many of
these steps only need to be done during the initial setup or when the system configuration
changes. There are 4 communication links to setup in addition to the Robotic profile in Carlson: (A) Carlson to Rover Radio, (B) Rover Radio to Instrument Radio, (C) Instrument Radio to Robotic, and (D) the RC2II setup used for Quicklock.




(A) Carlson Explorer to Rover Radio— The link to the Rover
Radio is setup through the Microsoft CE OperatingSystem as a standard Bluetooth Connection .

(B) BanTamX Rover Radio to BanTamX Instrument Radio Connection. This connection is predefined and configured at Hayes Instrument Company so that the radio pair will
only recognize each other. The connection is established automatically when
both radios are powered on. The status of the radio connection can be determined by
the status of LED lights.

(C) Total Station Setup— The link to the BanTamX Instrument radio is setup onboard
the Topcon 800X Robot.
Connect the BanTamX Bluetooth Radio to the total station via the 6-pin hirose radio
cable and turn the radio on.
1. From the main total station menu:• Select the Communication Menu [F2]
• Select Serial Port RS232C/RC [F1]
• Select using the [F3/F4] keys
• Press Set [F1] then YES [F5]
• Verify the following settings:
∗ Channel [1]
∗ V.Search [15]
∗ RC [S]
∗ Retry [Std]
∗ Delimit [ETX]
∗ REC-A/B [B]
∗ NEZ-REC [Std]
∗ TrkState [ON]
∗ B.Rate [4800]
∗ Data.L [8]
∗ Parity [None]
∗ Stop Bit [1]
• Press SET [F1] then YES [F5]
• Press [ESC] back to the main total station menu.
2. From the Main Total Station Menu:
• Press Prog [F1] then MORE [F6]
• Press EXT.LINK [F3]
• Press 2. Setting [F2]
• Select 1. CABLE/RADIO MODEM/RC [F1]
• Using the Up/Down [F3/F4] arrow keys, select RADIO MODEM SATEL
3ASd.
• Press SET [F1]

• Select 1.SELECT PARAMETERS [F1]
• Using the Up/Down arrow keys, select . Press SET [F1]
• Press [ESC]
• Select 1. Execute [F1]




(RC) RC-2II— Quick Lock Setup— The RC-2II can be used as a redundant communication
mode (see RC-2II only setup guide) but when used with the BanTamX Hayes Communication
System the RC-2II acts as a Quicklock assist to help the gun acquire lock to the prism.
RC-2II

1. Open the battery chamber and remove the batteries. Locate the dip-switch block at the bottom of the battery chamber and verify that dip-switch 3 is to the right. The other switches should be set the to left.

2. Put in fresh batteries if unsure about their age (typical battery life is 40 hrs).
