Page 9: Precautions
PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not collimate the objective lens direct to sunlight without a filter. 2. Do not store the instrument in high and low temperature to avoid the sudden or great change of temperature. 3. When the instrument is not in use, place it in the case and avoid shock, dust and humidity. 4. If there is great difference between the temperature in work site and that in store place, you should leave the instrument in the case till it adapts to the temperature of environment. 5. If the instrument has not been used for a long time, you should remove the battery for separate storage. The battery should be charged once a month. 6. When transporting the instrument should be placed in its carrying case, it is recommended that cushioned material should be used around the case for support. 7. For less vibration and better accuracy, the instrument should be set up on a wooden tripod rather than an aluminum tripod. ...

should be avoided. The measured distances may be wrong or inaccurate. When the [MEASURE] is triggered, the EDM measures the object which is in the beam path at that moment. If e.g. people, cars, animals, swaying branches, etc. cross the laser beam while a measurement is being taken, a fraction of the laser beam is reflected and may lead to incorrect distance values. Avoid interrupting the measuring beam while taking reflectorless measurements or measurements using reflective foils. Reflectorless EDM ● Ensure that the laser beams cannot be reflected by any object nearby with high reflectivity. ...
Page 42 6.2.1.1 Calculation of Atmospheric Correction ●The value of Atmospheric Correction can be influnced by air pressure, air temperature and the height. The calculating formula is as follows: (calculating unit： meter) PPM = 273.8 ‐ 0.2900 × Pressure Value（hPa） 1 + 0.00366 × Temperature value（℃） If the pressure unit adopted is mmHg: make conversion with: 1hPa = 0.75mmHg. ● The standard atmospheric condition of WinCE Series (e.g. the atmospheric condition under which the atmospheric correction value of the instrument is zero ) : ...
