1 Introduction
following steps:
– Do not subject the equipment to rough jolts or careless treatment.
– Keep the rotating mirror lens clean. Use only lens paper or other material that is designed for cleaning optical
equipment.
– Keep the instrument protected and in an upright position, preferably in the instrument case.
– Do not carry the instrument while the instrument is mounted on a tripod. Doing so can damage the tribrach
screws.
– Whenever manually rotating the instrument, use a slow and steady movement.
– Do not carry the instrument by the rotating mirror. Use the handle.
– When you need extremely precise measurements, make sure that the instrument has adapted to the
surrounding temperature. Significant variations in instrument temperature can affect precision.
Cleaning
CAUTION – DO NOT use strong detergents such as benzene or thinners on the instrument or the instrument case.
Be very careful when cleaning the instrument, especially when removing sand or dust from the
mirror lens. DO NOT use coarse or dirty cloth or hard paper. Trimble recommends that you use anti-
static lens paper, a cotton wad, or a lens brush. To clean the exterior of the instrument, use a cloth
lightly dampened with water.
Removing moisture
If the instrument has been in damp weather, take the instrument indoors and remove the
instrument from the instrument case. Leave the instrument to dry naturally. If condensation forms
on the mirror lens, allow the moisture to evaporate naturally.
