    WARNING Improperly repaired equipment Risk of injuries to users and equipment destruction due to lack of repair knowledge. Precautions: ▶ Only authorised Leica Geosystems Service Centres are entitled to repair these products. Laser Classification 1.6.1 General General The following chapters provide instructions and training information about laser safety according to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and technical report IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02).

  • Page 12: Distancer, Measurements With Reflectors

    ☞ National laws and local regulations could impose more stringent instructions for the safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02). 1.6.2 Distancer, Measurements with Reflectors Applicability Depending on instrument model. General The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges from the telescope objective.
  • Page 13 and after-images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of injury for laser class 3R products is limited because of: unintentional exposure would rarely reflect worst case conditions of (e.g.) beam alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation, inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radi- ation (MPE) natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of vis- ible radiation.

  • Page 33: Batteries

    For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. • We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indic- ated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates signific- antly from the actual battery capacity available. Operation/discharging The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.

  • Page 35 Non-prism measurements 002410_002 When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the • object which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruc- tion, for example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the instrument and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction.

  • Page 36: Check & Adjust

    Check & Adjust Overview Description Leica Geosystems instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recom- mended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This check and adjust can be done in the field by running through specific measurement pro- cedures.
