When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object ☞ which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, 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.
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.
During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determ- ☞ ined and set to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations: Before the first use • Before every high precision survey •...

This means that the horizontal and vertical angles are corrected twice: first by the determ- ined ATR/ATRplus errors for Hz and V, and then by the individual small devi- ations of the current aiming.

Turn on the instrument. Connect the instrument to the field control- ler.
The laser plummet is located in the vertical axis of the instrument. Under nor- ☞ mal conditions of use, the laser plummet does not need adjusting. If an adjustment is necessary due to external influences, return the instrument to any Leica Geosystems authorised service workshop. Inspecting the laser plummet step-by-step 360°...

An inspection of the motorisation in motorised instruments must be done in a ☞ Leica Geosystems authorised service centre. Leica Geosystems recommends an inspection of the product every 12 months. For instruments which are in intensive or permanent use, for example tunnel- ling or monitoring, the recommended inspection cycle may be reduced.
