2 – Inspection, Care, and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
WARNING – Do not remove the instrument cover from the instrument.
C
A Spectra Precision FOCUS 35 Total Station is designed to withstand normal electromagnetic
disturbance from the environment, but it contains circuits that are sensitive to static
electricity. If an unauthorized person opens the instrument cover, the function of the
instrument is not guaranteed and the warranty is invalidated.
The Spectra Precision FOCUS 35 Total Station is designed and tested to withstand field conditions,
but like all precision instruments, it requires care and maintenance.
Take the following steps to get the best results from the instrument:
• Do not subject the equipment to rough jolts or careless treatment.
• Keep the lenses and reflectors clean. Use only lens paper or other material that is designed for
cleaning optical equipment. A cleaner with a solution of pure water and 20-30% 2-Propanol
specified with evaporation residue <5mg/l is recommended.
• Keep the instrument protected and in an upright position, preferably in the instrument case.
• Do not carry the instrument while the instrument is mounted on a tripod. Doing so can damage
the tribrach screws.
• Do not carry the instrument by the telescope barrel, please use the handle.
• When you need extremely precise measurements, make sure that the instrument has adapted to
the surrounding temperature. Significant variations in instrument temperature can affect
precision.
Cleaning
Be very careful when cleaning the instrument, especially when removing sand or dust from lenses
and reflectors. Never use a coarse cloth, a dirty cloth, or hard paper to clean the instrument. Spectra
Precision recommends that you use anti-static lens paper, a cotton wad, or a lens brush.
CAUTION – Never use strong detergents such as benzine or thinners on the instrument or the
C
instrument case.
Care of the Screens
Clean the screens with a dust-free cloth and gently wipe the screen. Use the provided dust-free cloth
in the screen protector package.
CAUTION – Do not use abrasive cleaners and do not apply any Cleaning Solution directly on
C
the screen.

2 – Inspection, Care, and Maintenance
Applying a Screen Protector for the Face 1 Screen (if fitted)
Before applying a screen protector please read the screen protector installation guide/information
provided inside the screen protector package.
Use the screen protectors (ULTRA-Clear or ANTI-Glare) included in the instrument case to keep the
touchscreen clean and protected.
To apply a screen protector:
• Clean the display thoroughly with the provided dust-free cloth.
• Peel the backing from the screen protector.
• Align the edge, and then drop the remainder onto the display.
• Use the provided installation card, if necessary, to squeeze the air from underneath the screen
protector.
Ultra-Clear: Screen Protection with 99% visual transparency.
ANTI-Glare: Screen Protection with a perfect blend of anti-glare and optical clarity.
Removing Moisture
If the instrument has been used in damp weather, take the instrument indoors and remove the
instrument from the instrument case. Leave the instrument to dry naturally. If condensation forms
on the lenses, allow the moisture to evaporate naturally. Leave the carrying case open until all
moisture has evaporated.
Transporting the Instrument
Always transport the instrument in a locked instrument case. For longer trips, transport the
instrument in the instrument case and inside the original shipping container.
Servicing
Note – There are no user-serviceable parts on the Spectra Precision FOCUS 35 Total Station.
Spectra Precision recommends that you take the instrument to an authorized service center for
service and calibration once a year. This is to guarantee that the specified accuracies are maintained.
When you send the instrument to a service center, clearly write the name of the sender and the
receiver on the instrument case. If repairs are required, enclose a note in the instrument case. The
note should clearly describe any fault or symptoms, and indicate that servicing is required.
