Concepts— This document outlines the setup instructions to connect the Recon to a Topcon Robot using the Hayes BanTamX 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 Survey Pro: (A) Recon to Rover Radio, (B) Rover Radio to Instrument Radio, (C) Instrument Radio to Robotic, and (D) the RC2II setup used for Quicklock.























(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.

(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).



Survey Pro Setup—
This process will set up a Robotics profile in Survey Pro and only needs to be done once.
Run Survey Pro and open a job for work.
