MS50/TS50/TM50, Safety Directions 8
1.5 Hazards of Use
CAUTION Watch out for erroneous measurement results if the product has been dropped or has
been misused, modified, stored for long periods or transported.
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 dangerous to use poles and extensions in the
vicinity of electrical installations such as power cables or electrical railways.
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 instal-
lations and follow their instructions.
NOTICE With the remote control of products, it is possible that extraneous targets will be
picked out and measured.
Precautions:
When measuring in remote control mode, always check your results for plausibility.
CAUTION Be careful when pointing the product towards the sun, because the telescope func-
tions as a magnifying glass and can injure your eyes and/or cause damage inside the
product.
Precautions:
Do not point the product directly at the sun.
WARNING During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures there is a danger of
accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environmental conditions
around, for example obstacles, excavations or traffic.
Precautions:
The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of the existing
dangers.
WARNING Inadequate securing of the working site can lead to dangerous situations, for example
in traffic, on building sites, and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured. Adhere to the regulations
governing safety and accident prevention and road traffic.
CAUTION If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the product is
subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the product may be
damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions:
When setting-up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly adapted,
fitted, secured, and locked in position.
Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.

MS50/TS50/TM50, Safety Directions 9
WARNING If the product is used with accessories, for example masts, staffs, poles, you may
increase the risk of being struck by lightning.
Precautions:
Do not use the product in a thunderstorm.
WARNING During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate
mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by running the
product until they are flat.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the product must
ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are
observed. Before transportation or shipping contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
WARNING High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause
leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.
Precautions:
Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do
not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
WARNING If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery, keys,
metalized paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause injury or fire, for
example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.
WARNING If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen:
• If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may impair health.
• If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and cause
poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
• By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised persons to
use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves and third parties to
the risk of severe injury and rendering the environment liable to contamination.
Precautions:
Product-specific treatment and waste management information can be downloaded
from the Leica Geosystems home page at http://www.leica-
geosystems.com/treatment or received from your Leica Geosystems dealer.
WARNING Only Leica Geosystems authorised service workshops are entitled to repair these prod-
ucts.

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
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.

1.7 Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC
Description The term Electromagnetic Compatibility is taken to mean the capability of the product
to function smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electro-
static discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic disturbances to
other equipment.
WARNING Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in force in
this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that other
equipment may be disturbed.
CAUTION There is a risk that disturbances may be caused in other equipment if the product is
used with accessories from other manufacturers, for example field computers,
personal computers or other electronic equipment, non-standard cables or external
