General Handling Precautions
Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is
functioning correctly with normal performance.
Do not submerge the instrument into water.
The in st rument can no t be submerged underwater.
The instrument is designed based on the International Standard IP 66, therefore it is
protected from the normal rainfall.
Setting the instrument on a tripod
When mount ing the inst rument on a tr ipod, us e a wooden tripo d when possible. The
vibrations that may occur when using a metallic tripod can effect the measuring precision.
Installing the tribrach
If the tribrach is installed incorrectly, the measuring precision could be effected.
Occasional l y chec k the adjusting screws on the tribrach. Mak e sure the base fixing lever is
locked and the ba s e fi xi ng screws ar e tighten e d .
Guarding the instrument against shocks
When trans por t ing the i nstru ment, p rovide some prot ectio n to mini m i ze risk of shocks.
Heavy shocks may cause the measurement to be faulty.
Carrying the instrument
Alwa ys carry the instrument by its handgri p.
Exposing the instrument to extreme heat.
Do not leave the instrument in extreme heat for longer than necessary. It could adversely
affect its perform ance.
Sudden changes of temperature
Any sudden change of temperature to the instrument or prism may result in a reduction of
measuring distance range , i.e when taking the i nstrument out from a heat ed vehicle . Let
instrument accl im at e itself to ambient tem per at u re .
Battery level check
Confirm battery level remaining bef or e operating.
Taking the battery out
It is recommended not to take the battery out during the power is on. All the data stored is
poss ible gone at that time. So pl ease do your assembling or taking the b attery out after the
power is off.
Noise from the inside of instrument
When EDM turns on, the sound of motors from inside the instrument body may be
heard. This is normal and does not effect operation of the instrument.
