Safety Directions 7
DANGER
If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles,
you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high voltages also exists near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of
power lines can cause damage, injury and death.
Precautions:
▶
Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of
being struck by lightning.
▶
Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations. Do not
use the product directly under or close to power lines. If it is essential to
work in such an environment contact the safety authorities responsible for
electrical installations and follow their instructions.
▶
If the product has to be permanently mounted in an exposed location, it is
advisable to provide a lightning conductor system. A suggestion on how to
design a lightning conductor for the product is given below. Always follow
the regulations in force in your country regarding grounding antennas and
masts. These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶
To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes)
cables, for example for antenna, power source or modem should be protected with appropriate protection elements, like a lightning arrester. These
installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶
If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain
unused and unattended for a long period, protect your product additionally
by unplugging all systems components and disconnecting all connecting
cables and supply cables, for example, instrument - antenna.
WARNING
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures there is a danger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environmental conditions around, for example obstacles, excavations or traffic.
Precautions:
▶
The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of
the existing dangers.
WARNING
Inadequate securing of the working site can lead to dangerous situations, for
example in traffic, on building sites and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
▶
Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured. Adhere to the
regulations governing safety, accident prevention and road traffic.
8 Safety Directions
WARNING
If the product is used with accessories, for example masts, staffs, poles, you
may increase the risk of being struck by lightning.
Precautions:
▶
Do not use the product in a thunderstorm.
WARNING
High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids
can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.
Precautions:
▶
Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
WARNING
If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery,
keys, metallised paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause
injury or fire, for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
▶
Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.
WARNING
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna to vehicles or transporters poses
the risk of the equipment being broken by mechanical influence, vibration or
airstream. This may result in accident and physical injury.
Precautions:
▶
Attach the external antenna professionally. The external antenna must be
secured additionally, for example by use of a safety cord. Ensure that the
mounting device is correctly mounted and able to carry the weight of the
external antenna (>1 kg) safely.
Safety Directions 9
WARNING
If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen:
•
If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may
impair health.
•
If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and
cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
•
By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised
persons to use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves
and third parties to the risk of severe injury and rendering the environment
liable to contamination.
Precautions:
▶
The product must not be disposed with household waste.
Dispose of the product appropriately in accordance with
the national regulations in force in your country.
Always prevent access to the product by unauthorised personnel.
Product-specific treatment and waste management information can be
received from your Leica Geosystems distributor.
WARNING
Only Leica Geosystems authorised service centres are entitled to repair these
products.
CAUTION
If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the
product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the
product may be damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions:
▶
When setting up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly
adapted, fitted, secured, and locked in position.
Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.
CAUTION
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
▶
Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by
running the product until they are flat.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and
regulations are observed. Before transportation or shipping contact your
local passenger or freight transport company.
10 Safety Directions
Suggestion for design of a lightning conductor for a GNSS system:
1. On non-metallic structures
Protection by air terminals is recommended. An air terminal is a pointed
solid or tubular rod of conducting material with proper mounting and connection to a conductor. The position of four air terminals can be uniformly
distributed around the antenna at a distance equal to the height of the air
terminal.
The air terminal diameter should be 12 mm for copper or 15 mm for aluminium. The height of the air terminals should be 25 cm to 50 cm. All air terminals should be connected to the down conductors. The diameter of the
air terminal should be kept to a minimum to reduce GNSS signal shading.
2. On metallic structures
Protection is as described for non-metallic structures, but the air terminals
can be connected directly to the conducting structure without the need for
down conductors.

tion and electrostatic discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic disturbances to other equipment.
WARNING
Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in
force in this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that other equipment may be disturbed.
CAUTION
There is a risk that disturbances may be caused in other equipment if the product is used with accessories from other manufacturers, for example field computers, personal computers or other electronic equipment, non-standard cables
or external batteries.
Precautions:
▶
Use only the equipment and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems. When combined with the product, they meet the strict requirements
stipulated by the guidelines and standards. When using computers or other
electronic equipment, pay attention to the information about electromagnetic compatibility provided by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Disturbances caused by electromagnetic radiation can result in erroneous
measurements.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in
force in this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that the product may be disturbed by intense electromagnetic radiation, for
example, near radio transmitters, two-way radios or diesel generators.
Precautions:
▶
Check the plausibility of results obtained under these conditions.
CAUTION
If the product is operated with connecting cables attached at only one of their
two ends, for example external supply cables, interface cables, the permitted
level of electromagnetic radiation may be exceeded and the correct functioning
of other products may be impaired.
Precautions:
▶
While the product is in use, connecting cables, for example product to
external battery, product to computer, must be connected at both ends.
