PRECAUTIONS
Precautions concerning water and dust resistance
z
Do not put the instrument in the water. The instrument conforms to IPX4, so
the normal rain can not damage to the instrument, but improper use near
water can severely damage the instrument resulting in costly repairs.
z
Ensure that the battery is properly mounted and locked in the instrument.
This will aid in the reduction of moisture or dust collecting in the battery
compartment.
z
Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry
before closing the case. If moisture is trapped inside the case, it may cause
damage to the instrument resulting in costly repairs. If the instrument does
get wet, dry off the instrument and place in the case only for transport.
Upon arriving back at home or office remove instrument from case and allow
both case and instrument to air dry overnight.
z
Never place the instrument directly on the ground. Doing so may result in
sand, dust or debris finding its way into the instrument causing substantial
damage or costly repairs.
Using
z
It is best to mount a total station on a wood, fiberglass, composite or similar
tripod. Mounting instrument on Aluminum Tripods may result in inaccurate
readings do to the general properties of metals and expansion and
contraction.
z
Ensure that the tribrach is in proper working order and that the locking
mechanism is working properly. This will reduce the chance of the
instrument coming loose on the tribrach and providing erroneous readings.
z
Please make sure that all configuration and parameter settings are set
properly prior to making measurements or recording data.
z
Always turn the instrument power off before removing the battery. Failure
may result in a power spike damaging the instrument.
