)Technical hints:
• First check and adjust the electronic and optical line-of-sight
errors, then the circular level on the instrument and then the
staff:beforestartingworkinthefield,afterlongstorageperiods
or after long transportation.
• Keep the optics clean. Dirt or condensation on the optics can
limit measurements.
• Before starting work, let the instrument adjust to the ambient
temperature (approx. 2 minutes per °C of temperature differ-
ence).
• Avoid measuring through window panes.
• Staff sections have to be fully extended and properly secured.
• Touching the upper third of the tripod, can damp vibrations at
the instrument due to wind.
• Use the lens hood to cover the objective when backlight
disturbs.
• Evenly illuminate the measuring area of the staff with a flash-
light or spotlight in darkness.
