en
CAUTION
Jogger 20/24/28/32, Safety Directions9
Watch out for erroneous measurement results if the product has been dropped or
has been misused, modified, stored for long periods or transported.
Precautions:
Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the field adjustments indicated
in the user manual, particularly after the product has been subjected to abnormal use
and before and after important measurements.
Jogger 20/24/28/32, Safety Directions
DANGER
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is dangerous to use poles and extensions in

Precautions:
Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to work in this
environment, first contact the safety authorities responsible for the electrical installations and follow their instructions.
10
NOTICEStrong magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity (e.g. transformers, melting
CAUTION
furnaces...) may influence the compensator and lead to measuring errors.
Precautions:
When working near strong magnetic fields, check results for plausibility.
Be careful when pointing the product towards the sun, because the telescope functions as a magnifying glass and can injure your eyes and/or cause damage inside the
product.
Precautions:
Do not point the product directly at the sun.

StepDescription
When the difference nominal-/actual- reading is
more than 3 mm the line of sight must be adjusted.
1.Turn the adjusting screw until the middle hair gives
the required reading (eg. 1.388 m).
2.Check line of sight again.
Before starting field work or after long periods of
storage/ transport of your equipment check the
field adjustment parameters specified in this User
