Suspend Mode
The Spectra Precision FOCUS 30 Total Station is equipped with an internal support
module (support capacitor) that enables you to replace the instrument battery within a
period of 30
seconds if you put it in Suspend Mode first.
Suspend Mode can also be used to save power when the instrument is not used. You
can then resume working from the same place in the software that you were before
you entered Suspend Mode.
To enter Suspend Mode, press the power button for about one second, until you hear
one single beep.
The Spectra Precision FOCUS 30 Total Station will go into suspend for 120 minutes
by default.
To resume, press the power button for about one second, until you hear one single
beep.
The internal support module is charged when the instrument is on.
Note – Do not remove the battery before you press the power button. Otherwise the
controller has to reboot when it restarts.
If the Spectra Precision FOCUS 30 Total Station has not been restarted when the sus-
pend period (default 120 minutes) has elapsed, the instrument powers down and has
to reboot when started again.
If the internal support module runs low on power the Spectra Precision FOCUS 30
Total
Station powers down sooner. Fully charged and under normal conditions, the
internal support battery should have capacity for about five suspend sequences.
Note – Suspend Mode is available while using onboard software. If the instrument is
controlled by a separate controller the instrument will not go into Suspend Mode.
