Description
General This manual applies to TS02 plus, TS06 plus, and TS09 plus instru-
ments. Where there are differences between the various instru-
ments they are clearly described.
For the Tunnel application, refer to the separate manual "Leica
FlexLine plus Tunnel Application".
Telescope •Measuring with Prism mode: When measuring distances to a
reflector with Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) mode
"Prism", the telescope uses a wide visible red laser beam, which
emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.
•Measuring with Non-Prism modes: Instruments that are
equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM
mode "Non-Prism". When meauring distances with this EDM
mode, the telescope uses a narrow visible red laser beam, which
emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.
Do NOT remove the battery during operation of the instrument, or during the shut-
down procedure.
This can result in a file system error and data loss!
Always switch off the instrument by pressing the On/Off key, and wait until the
instrument has shutdown completely before removing the battery.

1.6 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). The information enables the person responsible for the product
and the person who actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational
hazards.
1.6.2 Distancer, Measurements with Reflectors
General The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges
from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 1 in accordance
with:
• IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
These products are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation and are
not harmful to the eyes provided that the products are used and maintained in accord-
ance with this User Manual.
Labelling
According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classified as laser class 1,
class 2 and class 3R do not require:
• laser safety officer involvement,
• protective clothes and eyewear,
• special warning signs in the laser working area
if used and operated as defined in this User Manual due to the low eye hazard
level.
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).

1.6.3 Distancer, Measurements without Reflectors (Non-Prism mode)
General The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges
from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 3R in accordance
with:
• IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
Direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous (low eye hazard level), in particular for
deliberate ocular exposure. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness and after-
images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of injury for laser
class 3R products is limited because of:
a) unintentional exposure would rarely reflect worst case conditions of (e.g.) beam
alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation,
b) inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radiation
(MPE)
c) natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of visible
radiation.
CAUTION From a safety perspective, class 3R laser products should be treated as potentially
hazardous.
Precautions:
1) Prevent direct eye exposure to the beam.
2) Do not direct the beam at other people.
CAUTION Potential hazards are not only related to direct beams but also to reflected beams
aimed at reflecting surfaces such as prisms, windows, mirrors, metallic surfaces, etc.
Precautions:
1) Do not aim at areas that are essentially reflective, such as a mirror, or which could
emit unwanted reflections.
2) Do not look through or beside the optical sight at prisms or reflecting objects when
the laser is switched on, in laser pointer or distance measurement mode. Aiming at
prisms is only permitted when looking through the telescope.
