in the User Manual.
•To ensure that it is used in accordance with the instructions.
•To be familiar with local regulations relating to safety and accident pre-
vention.
•To inform Leica Geosystems immediately if the product and the applica-
tion becomes unsafe.
•To ensure that the national laws, regulations and conditions for the oper-
ation of the product are respected.
1.5 Hazards of Use
The product is normally operated at least 1 m away from the user. At a dis-
tance of at least 1 m or greater, the typical power density level is below
1 mW/cm2 (0.01 W/m2). This value is far below the level specied by the cur-
rent regulations.
☞When operated in the normal manner of intended use, this product
does not pose health or safety risks regarding radio frequency sig-
nals.
To ensure that the radio modem is not operated without the permission of
the local authorities on frequencies and/or output power levels other than
those specically reserved and intended for use without a specic permit, the
internal and external radio modems have been designed to operate on fre-
quency ranges and output power ranges. The exact use of the frequency
ranges differs from one region and/or country to another.
NOTICE

transporting the product
Watch out for erroneous measurement results.
Precautions:
▶Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the eld adjust-
ments indicated in the User Manual, particularly after the product has
been subjected to abnormal use as well as before and after important
measurements.

Component Description
Single-frequency
antenna
The 600 MHz antenna detects underground utilities up
to a depth of 2 m, depending on the soil conditions.
Control unit The control unit communicates with the positioning
systems, the tablet and the encoders to ensure the
entire system is working together correctly.
Encoders The encoders are used for measuring the distance
travelled from the starting point of a scan. The meas-
ured distance is constantly transferred to the control
unit.
The encoders are positioned inside the rear wheels of
the DSX to ensure correct measurements even in
rough terrain, when sometimes only one wheel is
touching the ground.
Handle The handle of the DSX can be adjusted both in height
and inclination. For easy transport of the DSX, the
handle can be folded up.
The LAN cable for connecting to the tablet is by the
right handle
Wheels DSX is using solid rubber tires which do not require
pumping.
Support tablet The support is designed to hold a Getac CT1000 tablet.
The inclination of the support can be adjusted to the
optimal viewing angle.
Pole support (sur-
veyor kit only)
The pole support includes two clamps and two brack-
ets. Both clamps will be attached to the pole and the
brackets mounted to the handle and housing.

2.6 General Battery Handling
Charging
The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/
+32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries
at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
Operation/Discharging
•The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +50 °C/−4 °F to +122 °F.
•Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
Storage
•Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
•After storage recharge batteries before using.
•Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be
dried before storing or use.
•The batteries can be stored from −20 °C to +50 °C/−4 °F to +122 °F.
☞The DSX battery is removable from the battery compartment and is
chargeable.
☞You cannot turn on the DSX while the battery compartment is empty.
1. Place the battery in the charger and use the appropriate plug head
before charging.

2. While charging, the LED of the battery charger lights up orange.
When the battery is nearly charged, the LED turns yellow.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED turns green.
2.7 Requirements for Using a GNSS Antenna with the DSX
The DSX can be used with a GNSS antenna to position the radar-scanning data
in an absolute coordinates system and to receive real-time positional correc-
tions while the DSX cart is moving and collecting data.
The antenna should fulll the following requirements:
•Multi-frequency (L1 + L2+ L5)
•Positioning update greater than 5 Hz
•Bluetooth
•RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) reference station functionality
•RTK network
•Unlimited RTK range
•DGPS/RTCM
☞Refer to the equipment list for compatible models.
For the best result achieved, we recommend using a Variable "x_GS18_T" not
dened. and Leica Variable "x_iCON_gps_70_T" not dened. antenna with tilt
compensation activated
