4. Checking and adjusting of the line-of-sight
With the circular bubble centred
and adjusted, the line of sight
should be horizontal.
Checking (see example):
1. Choose a distance of appr. 30 m
within a gentle terrain.
2. Set up a staff at both final points
(A, B).
3. Set up the instrument at point I1
(halfway between A and B, just
pass it down) and centre the
bubble.
4. Read both staffs.
reading on A = 1.832 m
reading on B = 1.616 m
ΔH = A - B = 0.216 m
5. Set up the level about 1 m from
staff A
6. Read staff A (eg.: 1.604 m)
7. Find nominal reading B; eg.:
Reading A - ΔH = 1.604 m -
0.216 m = 1.388 m
8. Read staff B, compare nominal-
/actual- reading.
)When the difference
nominal-/actual- reading is more
than 3 mm the line of sight must be
adjusted.
1. Turn the adjusting srew until the
middle hair gives the required
reading (eg. 1.388 m).
2. Check line of sight again.
)Before starting field work
or after long periods of storage/
transport of your equipment check
the field adjustment parameters
specified in this User Manual.

5. Care and Transport
5.1 Transport
Transport in the field
When transporting the equipment in the field, always
make sure that you
• either carry the product in its original transport
container,
• or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your
shoulder, keeping the attached product upright.
Transport in a road vehicle
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it
can be affected by shock and vibration. Always carry
the product in its transport container and secure it.
Shipping
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea,
always use the complete original Leica Geosystems
packaging, transport container and cardboard box, or
its equivalent, to protect against shock and vibration.
Field adjustment
After transport inspect the field adjustment parameters
given in this user manual before using the product.
5.2 Storage
Product

6.5 Hazards of Use
WARNING
The absence of instruction, or the inade-
quate imparting of instruction, can lead to incorrect
or adverse use, and can give rise to accidents with
far-reaching human, material, financial and environ-
mental consequences.
Precautions:
All users must follow the safety directions given by
the manufacturer and the directions of the person
responsible for the product.
CAUTION
Watch out for erroneous measurement
results if the product has been dropped or has been
misused, modified, stored for long periods or trans-
ported.
Precautions:
Periodically carry out test measurements and
perform the field adjustments indicated in the user
manual, particularly after the product has been
subjected to abnormal use and before and after
important measurements.
DANGER
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is very
dangerous to use staffs in the vicinity of electrical
installations such as power cables or electrical rail-
ways.
Precautions:
Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations.
If it is essential to work in this environment, first
contact the safety authorities responsible for the
electrical installations and follow their instructions.
CAUTION
Strong magnetic fields in the immediate
vicinity (e.g. transformers, melting furnaces...) may
influence the compensator and lead to measuring
errors.
Precautions:
When measuring near strong magnetic fields, check
results for plausibility.

4. Ziellinie prüfen / justieren
Bei justierter und eingespielter
Dosenlibelle muss die Ziellinie
horizontal sein.
Nivellierprobe (gem. Beispiel):
1. Eine Strecke von ca. 30 m im
flachen Gelände wählen.
2. An beiden Endpunkten (A, B) je
eine Latte aufstellen.
3. Instrument bei Punkt I1 (mittig
zwischen A und B, Abschreiten
genügt) aufstellen und horizon-
tieren.
4. Beide Latten ablesen.
Ablesung bei A = 1,832 m
Ablesung bei B = 1,616 m
ΔH = A - B = 0,216 m
5. Nivellier ca. 1 m vor Latte A
aufstellen.
6. Latte A ablesen (hier: 1,604 m)
7. Sollablesung B bestimmen; hier:
Lattenablesung A - ΔH = 1,604 m
- 0,216 m = 1,388 m
8. Lattenablesung B, Vergleich Soll-
/Ist-Ablesung.
)Ist die Differenz zwischen
Soll-/Ist-Ablesung grösser als
3 mm, muss die Ziellinie justiert
werden.
1. Justierschraube drehen, bis Soll-
wert erreicht ist (z. B. 1,388 m).
2. Ziellinie erneut überprüfen.
)Kontrollieren Sie vor
Beginn der Feldarbeit bzw. nach
längerer Lagerung oder Transport
Ihrer Ausrüstung die in dieser
Gebrauchsanweisung angege-
benen Feldjustierparameter.
