    Operation Setup General The first installation of the product should be done by authorised Leica Geo- systems personnel. Installation by unauthorised personnel may cause damage and will make the warranty null and void. Cabling of T‑Scan The following illustration shows the correct cabling to connect the T‑Scan sys- system compo- tem components.
  • Page 26 ☞ For measurements that require utmost accuracy, a warm-up time of 30 minutes must be observed for the T‑Scan sensor before starting the measurement. Working with the Observe the following guidelines for the Laser Tracker: Laser Tracker • Set up the Laser Tracker in a way that the 6DOF position of the T‑Scan sensor can be captured from all required measurement positions.

Spatial length U L The measurement uncertainty of the spatial length “U L ” is defined as the deviation of a measured length from its nominal value. This deviation is specified as a function of the shortest distance between the Laser Tracker and the measured length.

  • Page 32: Check & Adjust

    Check & Adjust Description Leica Geosystems products are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible quality. Quick temperature changes, frequent movements of the product, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the measure- ment accuracy. It is therefore recommended to check and adjust (compen- sate) the product from time to time.
