2.1.1 General Battery Handling

26
Charging / first­time use
Operation / Discharging
• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv­ered with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/ +32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available.
• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high oper­ating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

  
iCON gps 60, Using the iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna 29
three components:
• the vertical height reading,
• the vertical offset,
• the vertical phase centre variations.
• For most operations, pre-configured antenna settings of Leica field controllers (i.e. CC60/CC61 or CC50) can be used. These settings take the vertical phase centre variations into account.
These are handled automatically in the standard antenna records. The antenna cali­brations to determine the phase centre variations were executed by Geo++® GmbH.
Pillar setup. For other than the GRT146 carrier, the dimensions must be determined and the vertical offset must be adapted.
Tripod setup. For height measurement devices other than the height hook, the dimensions must be determined and the vertical offset must be adapted.
Pole setup. For other than Leica poles, the dimensions must be determined.

Base setup The instrument can be manually set up as a stand-alone base station without a
controller. This can be done in three different ways using the Base Setup wizard. The wizard is accessable via Settings>Tools>Base Setup.
The first screen (Position) provides 3 functions to enter the position of the base point:
• Get Here: Instrument determines position and uses current position as a new base point.
• Edit: Manual input of coordinates to generate a new base point.
• Find Nearest: Searches through the Base Point List for a known base point within a radius of 20 m of the current instrument position.

At the end of all base setup functions the Base Setup wizard continues with a common set of configuration screens:
• Communication: To configure parameters for communication with other devices.
• Antenna: To set Antenna Type, Height and Measurement Method.
• Confirmation: To save the current configuration to the Base Point List. Subsequently, the instrument will start transmitting.
The Get Here function determines the current coordinates of the instrument and uses this position as the base point.

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 appro-

priate 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.
Lightning conductors
iCON gps 60, Safety Directions 97
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.
