Your Leica Geosystems instrument isoperated with rechargable plug-inbatteries. The Basic battery(GEB111) or the Pro battery(GEB121) is recommended for T105/T110 instruments. As an option, sixindividual cells can be used with theappropriate battery adapter GAD39.

Six individual cells (1.5 V each)produce a voltage of 9 Volts. Thebattery indicator in the display isdesigned for a voltage of 6 Volts(GEB111/GEB121). For this reasonthe charge state of individual cells isnot indicated correctly. The batteryadapter with individual cells shouldtherefore be used as a backup. Theadvantage of individual cells is thelow self-discharge rate - even overlonger periods of time.

Use the Leica Geosystemsbatteries, chargers andaccessories or accessoriesrecommended by LeicaGeosystems to ensure thecorrect functionality of theinstrument.

The line-of-sight error or collimationerror (C) is the deviation from theperpendicular between the tilting axisand the line of sight.

The effect of the line-of-sight error tothe Hz-angle increases with thevertical angle.For horizontal aimings the error of Hzequals the line-of-sight error.

The vertical circle should readexactly 90° (100 gon) when the lineof sight is horizontal. Any deviationfrom this figure is termed verticalindex error (i).

If the instrument is used on anunstable base (e.g. shaking platform,ship, etc.) the compensator mustbe switched off.This avoids the compensator driftingout of it's measuring range andinterupting the measuring process byindicating an error.

The working range of thecompensator is at 5'24" (±0.1gon).This horizontal accuracy can is easilyobtained with the electronic level.

CAUTION:Watch out for erroneousmeasurements if the

instrument is defective or if it hasbeen dropped or has been misusedor modified.Precautions:Periodically carry out testmeasurements and perform the fieldadjustments indicated in the UserManual particularly after theinstrument has been subjected to ab-normal use and before and afterimportant measurements.

DANGER:Because of the risk ofelectrocution, it is very

dangerous to use reflector poles andextensions in the vicinity of electricalinstallations such as power cables orelectrical railways.Precautions:Keep at a safe distance fromelectrical installations. If it is essentialto work in this environment, firstcontact the safety authoritiesresponsible for the electricalinstallations and follow theirinstructions.

WARNING:During target recognition orstakeout procedures there is

a danger of accidents occurring if theuser does not pay attention to the en-vironmental conditions around orbetween the instrument and thetarget (e.g. obstacles, excavations ortraffic).Precautions:The person responsible for theinstrument must make all users fullyaware of the existing dangers.

WARNING:

Inadequate securing of thesurveying site can lead to

dangerous situations, for example intraffic, on building sites and atindustrial installations.Precautions:Always ensure that the surreying siteis adequately secured. Adhere to thelocal regulations governing accidentprevention and road traffic.

CAUTION:If a target lamp accessory isused with the instrument the

lamp's surface temperature may beextreme after a long working period.It may cause pain if touched.Replacing the halogen bulb beforethe lamp has been allowed to cooldown may cause burning to the skinor fingers.Precautions:Use appropriate heat protection suchas gloves or woollen cloth beforetouching the lamp, or allow the lampto cool down first.

CAUTION:If the accessories used withthe instrument are not

properly secured, and the equipmentis subjected to mechanical shock(e.g. blows, falling etc.), theequipment may be damaged safetydevices may be ineffective or peoplemay sustain injury.Precautions:When setting-up the instrument,make sure that the accessories (e.g.tripod, tribrach, etc.) are correctlyadapted, fitted, secured and locked inposition.Avoid subjecting the equipment tomechanical shock.Never position the instrument on thetripod baseplate without securelytightening the central fixing screw.

The term "electromagneticacceptability" is taken to mean thecapability of the instrument tofunction correctly in an environmentwhere electromagnetic radiation andelectrostatic discharges are present,and without causing electromagneticdisturbances in other equipment.

CAUTION:Disturbances caused byelectromagnetic radiation can

result in the tolerance limits formeasurements being exceeded.

Although the teodolites meet thestrict regulations and standardswhich are in force in this connection,Leica Geosystems cannot completelyexclude the possibility that theteodolite may be disturbed by veryintense electromagnetic radiation,e.g. near radio transmitters, walkie-talkies, diesel generators, powercables.Check the plausibility of resultsobtained under these conditions.

WARNING:

Electromagnetic radiationcan cause disturbances in

other equipment.

Although electronic teodolites meetthe strict regulations and standardswhich are in force in this respect, Lei-ca cannot completely exclude thepossibility that other equipment maybe disturbed.

CAUTION:There is a risk thatdisturbances may be caused

in other equipment if the teodolite isused in conjunction with accessoriesfrom other manufacturers (e.g. per-sonal computers, walkie-talkies, ...).Precautions:Use only the equipment andaccessories recommended by LeicaGeosystems. When combined withteodolites, they meet the strictrequirements stipulated by theguidelines and standards. Whenusing computers and walkie-talkies,pay attention to the information aboutelectromagnetic compatibilityprovided by the manufacturer.

The laser plummet is integrated intothe vertical axis of the instrument.Under normal circumstances settingof the laser plummet is notnecessary. If an adjustment isnecessary due to external influencesthe instrument has to be returned toany Leica Geosystems servicedepartment.

Checking by turning theinstrument by 360°:1. Install the instrument on the tripod

approx. 1.5 m above ground andlevel up.

2. Switch on laser plummet and markthe centre of the red spot.

3. Turn instrument slowly by 360°and observe the red laser spot.

Inspecting the laser plummet shouldbe carried out on a bright, smoothand horizonal surface (e.g. a sheet ofpaper).

If the centre of the laser spot makesa clearly circular movement or if thecentre of the point is moving awaymore than 3 mm from the firstmarked point an adjustment ispossibly necessary. Call your nearestLeica Geosystems servicedepartment.

Depending on brightness and surfacethe size of the laser spot can vary. Ata distance of 1.5 m an average valueof 2.5 mm diameter must beestimated.

The max. diameter of the circularmovement of the centre of the laserspot should not exceed 3 mm at adistance of 1.5 m.

1. If point A does not move along thevertical line remove cover ofadjusting screws on the eyepiece.

2. With the help of the supplied toolloosen all four adjusting screwssymmetrically. Then turn thegraticule around the centre untilthe vertical line covers point A1.
