3.1.3 Setup Over a Benchmark with the Internal Laser Plummet
Description This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser
plummet. Geo-referencing of the ScanStation P40/P30 is established by setting up
over a known or assumed control point, with optional reference target measurement
to set the azimuth direction, and establishing a local or global coordinate system. The
ScanStation P40/P30 allows you to traverse, resect or free-station. Known azimuth
or known back sight measurements can be observed.
It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked
ground point.

5. Swivel measure in the direction of the ground point, pull out until the tip
of the measuring tongue touches the point on the ground, keep under
tension and do not allow to sag, clamp if necessary.
6. Read height of the instrument (ground - tilt axis) in the reading window at
the red marking (in the example 1.627 m).
Note:
• For detailed information about the GHM008 instrument height meter and
GHT196 distance holder refer to the GHM008/GHT196 user manual which is
delivered with these items.
• The tilt axis height of the ScanStation P40/P30 is 250 mm. Take care to use the
GHM008 which has a special scale to measure the height of instruments with a
tilt axis height of 250 mm. Do not use a tape with any other scale.
• Alternatively the instrument height can be measured with a common, 1:1 scaled
measuring tape from the point on the ground to the little notch under the red
Leica logo at both side covers of the scanner. This distance will then be from the
ground point to the tilt axis.
3.2 Power Supply
3.2.1 Operating Principles
About the battery As the battery pack contains rechargeable cells it is always recommended to handle
pack the battery and charging station with care.
Observe the LEDs on the charging station before and after the charging
process, as well as during operation. For details please refer to section
"About the Charger".
When port P1 is connected for operation, port P2 cannot be used for oper-
ation and vice versa: no simultaneous operation of two ports.
General Use the batteries, chargers and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems to
ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.
WARNING The product is not designed for use under wet and severe conditions. If unit becomes
wet it may cause you to receive an electric shock.
Precautions:
Use the product only in dry environments, for example in buildings or vehicles.
Protect the product against humidity. If the product becomes humid, it must not be
used!
First-time Use / • The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv-
Charging Batteries ered 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. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the
temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the
charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual
battery capacity available.
About the Charger On the charging station’s front side are the Select button and LEDs for capacity and
error indication.

Unfavourable
•
Colour, powder or tape these surfaces before scanning if necessary.
Rain, snow or fog may adversely affect measurement quality. Always use care
weather conditions when surveying in these conditions.
for scanning • Surfaces that are directly illuminated by the sun cause an increased range noise
and therefore a larger measurement uncertainty.
• If some objects are scanned against the sunlight or a bright spotlight, the optical
receiver of the instrument can be dazzled so heavily that in this area no meas-
ured data is recorded. A "black hole" appears in the reflectance image.
Temperature If the instrument is brought from a cold environment, for example from storage, into
changes during a warm and humid environment, the glass window at the mirror or in extreme cases
scanning even the interior optics can condensate. This may cause measurement errors.
Precaution: Avoid rapid temperature changes and give the instrument time
to acclimatise.
Dirt on the glass Dirt on the glass pane of the mirror such as a layer of dust, condensation or finger-
pane prints may cause considerable measuring errors.
About the Main The Main Menu will be displayed after the system boot process. Ready in the
Menu message bar indicates that the instrument is ready for scanning.

Units that are exposed to high mechanical forces, e.g. through frequent transport or
rough handling, it is recommended to carry out a check and adjust once a year by the
manufacturer respectively just after such a high stress exposure.
4.2 Transport
Transport in the When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you
field • either carry the product in its original transport container,
• or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the
attached product upright.
• or remove product from tripod and carry it by its handle.
Transport in a road Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and
vehicle vibration. Always carry the product in its transport container, original packaging or
equivalent and secure it.
Shipping When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete original
Leica Geosystems packaging, transport container and cardboard box, or its equiva-
lent, to protect against shock and vibration.
Shipping, transport When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the product must
of batteries ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are
observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
4.3 Storage
Product Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer
if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "5 Technical Data" for information about
temperature limits.
Field adjustment After long periods of storage inspect the field adjustment parameters given in this
user manual before using the product.
The touchscreen is covered by a thin, touch resistive foil. This foil can easily
be damaged during cleaning e.g. by detergents.
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.
Connectors with Wet connectors must be dry before attaching the dust cap.
dust caps
General cleaning The scanning mirror must be kept clean. The instructions must be followed as
information described in this chapter to clean the scanner mirror.
Using a compressed gas duster (e.g., UltraJet® 2000 Gas Duster or UltraJet®
optical surfaces Compressed CO2 Duster), remove dust and debris from surface of scanner glass.
Never rub off dust or debris as this will scratch the glass and so possibly
cause permanent damage to the special optical coatings.
Cleaning of optical Soiling of the glass pane can cause extreme measurement errors and therefore
surfaces useless data!
All soiling that is visible on the glass pane has to be removed, except for
single small dust particles that adhere inevitably.
Clean the glass pane regularly with the provided cleaning tissue:
• Switch off instrument.
• Washing hands is necessary in order to avoid grease on the cleaning tissue.
• Better, use gloves to avoid finger oil on the glass.
• Then use the lens tissue for wiping circularly from the centre to the edge until
there is only a thin film of detergent visible.
• If any smears from cleaning are visible against back light, repeat the proce-
dure.
• Do not use air from the pneumatic power system as this is always slightly
oily!
