Spectra Precision Focus 6 5" Total Station User Guide 19
Introduction 1
Care and maintenance
Before using the instrument, read and follow the following maintenance instructions.
The Focus6 5" total station is a precision instrument that you should store, use, and
clean in an appropriate way.
C
CAUTION – The battery pack contains a Lithium-ion battery. When disposing of the
battery pack, follow the laws or rules of your municipal waste system. For more
information on the safety warnings associated with the Lithium-ion battery, see
Rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, page 5.
C
CAUTION – Store the battery pack with the battery pack discharged.
Environmental conditions
• Do not leave the instrument in direct sunlight or in a closed vehicle for
prolonged periods. Overheating the instrument may reduce its efficiency.
• If the total station has been used in wet conditions, immediately wipe off any
moisture and dry the instrument completely before returning it to the carry
case. The Focus6 5" total station contains sensitive electronic assemblies which
have been well protected against dust and moisture. However, if dust or
moisture gets into it, severe damage could result.
• Sudden changes in temperature may cloud the lenses and drastically reduce the
measurable distance, or cause an electrical system failure. If there has been a
sudden change in temperature, leave the instrument in a closed carry case in a
warm location until the temperature of the instrument returns to room
temperature.
Storage
• Do not store the total station in hot or humid locations. In particular, you must
store the battery pack in a dry location at a temperature of less than 30 °C
(86 °F). High temperature or excessive humidity can cause mold to grow on the
lenses. It can also cause the electronic assemblies to deteriorate, and so lead to
instrument failure.
• Store the battery pack with the battery discharged.
• When storing the instrument in areas subject to extremely low temperatures,
leave the carry case open.
• If the tribrach will not be used for an extended period, lock down the tribrach
clamp knob and tighten its safety screw.
• The carry case is designed to be watertight, but you should not leave it exposed
to rain for an extended period. If exposure to rain is unavoidable, make sure that
the carry case is placed with the Spectra Precision nameplate facing upward.
