eLevel Current damping value is below the warning
threshold. The warning threshold depends
on the distance between measuring device
andreector.→ For recommended damping
values, see page 31, Table 6.
• Clean external lens surfaces like the
reectorandthelens.
• Decrease the distance between the
measuringdeviceandthereector.
• Use a distance measuring device with a
higher range.
→ see page 109, chapter 14.10.
eTemp The internal devicetemperature is outside of
the permissible range.
→ For the permissible ambient temperature,
see page 108, chapter 14.8.
• Check ambience temperature, improve
ventilation if applicable.
• Shield against radiation heat, e.g. shade
the measuring device in case of direct
solar irradiation.
• Use device with heating at low ambient
temperatures.
• Use cooling housings for high ambient
temperatures.

Device error Hardware • Check supply voltage and wiring.
→ For electrical connection, see page 35,
chapter 7.
• Switchsupplyvoltageonando.
• Send in measuring device for repair.
The internal devicetemperature is outside of
the permissible range.
→ For the permissible ambient temperature,
see page 108, chapter 14.8.
• Wait for warm-up phase of the measuring
device. Let the measuring device cool
down.
• Check ambience temperature, improve
ventilation if applicable.
• Shield against radiation heat, e.g. shade
the measuring device in case of direct
solar irradiation.
• Use device with heating at low ambient
temperatures.
• Use cooling housings for high ambient
temperatures.
Measuring error Light path between measuring device and
reectorinterrupted.
Keep replacement device ready.
