It is possible to limit the point search to a particular job or to search the whole storage. The search procedure always finds known points before measured points that fulfil the same search criteria. If several points meet the search criteria, then the results are ordered according to the entry date. The instrument finds the most recent known point first.
4 Operation 4.1 Instrument Setup Description This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked ground point. ☞ Important features • • • It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument. The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the instrument.
Setup step-by-step 7 2 3 6 1 1 1 5 5 4 5 Zoom_004 Level up with the electronic level step-by-step 1. Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture. Position the tripod over the marked ground point, centring it as best as possible. 2. Fasten the tribrach and instrument onto the tripod. 3. Turn on the instrument, and, if tilt correction is set to 1- or 2-axis, the laser plummet will be activated automatically, and the Level Up screen appears.
Change the intensity of the laser plummet 2. Center the electronic level for the second axis by turning the last footscrew. When the electronic level is centered, the indicator on the second electronic bubble is centered. 3. When the electronic level is centered the instrument has been perfectly levelled up. 4. Accept with OK. External influences and the surface conditions may require the adjustment of the intensity of the laser plummet.
4.2 Working with the Battery Charging / first-time use • The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible. The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible. It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging.
4.4 Main Menu Description The MAIN MENU is the starting place for accessing all functionality of the instrument. It is usually displayed immediately after the Level & Plummet screen, after switching on the instrument. MAIN MENU Description of the MAIN MENU functions Function Description Apps To select and start applications. Refer to "11 Applications".

The procedure for the quick start Survey is identical to the procedure for the application Survey available under the Apps menu. Therefore this procedure is only described once within the application chapter. Refer to "11.2 Survey". 4.6 Distance Measurements - Guidelines for Correct Results Description A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the instruments. In all versions, the distance can be determined by using a visible red laser beam which emerges coaxially from the telescope objective.

13 Calibration 13.1 Overview Description GeoMax instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to a high quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to calibrate the instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters.
13.3 Calibrating Line-of-Sight and Vertical Index Error Line-of-sight error The line-of-sight error, or horizontal collimation error is the deviation from the perpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the line-of-sight error to the horizontal direction increases with the vertical angle.

13.5 Calibrating the Circular Level of the Instrument and Tribrach Calibrate the circular level step-by-step 1 2 3 Place and secure the tribrach onto the tripod, and then secure the instrument onto the tribrach. Using the tribrach footscrews, level the instrument with the electronic level. To activate the electronic level, turn on the instrument, and, if tilt correction is set to 1- or 2-axis, the Level & Plummet screen appears automatically.
Inspect the laser plummet step-by-step 1 2 Set up the instrument on the tripod approximately 1.5m above the ground and level up. To activate the laser plummet, turn on the instrument, and, if tilt correction is set to 1- or 2-axis, the laser plummet will be activated automatically, and the Level & Plummet screen appears. Otherwise, press FNC from within any application and select Level & Plummet. ☞ 3 4 Mark the center of the red laser dot on the ground.
14 Care and Transport 14.1 Transport Transport in the field When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you • • either carry the product in its original container, or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the attached product upright. Transport in a road vehicle Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and vibration. Always carry the product in its container, original packaging or equivalent and secure it.
Damp products Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories at a temperature not greater than 40°C /104°F and clean them. Remove the battery cover and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything is completely dry. Always close the transport container when using in the field. Cables and plugs Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the connecting cables.
