Setup Stability When performing a setup it is important to consider the following: 41. 1 1. Set tripod legs wide apart to increase the stability of the setup. A setup where one leg is placed on e. g asphalt and the other two on soil will still be a stable setup provided that the tripod legs are set wide enough. If it is not possible to set the tripod legs wide apart due to obstacles, then the tripod can be lowered to increase stability. Figure 4. 20 Correct set up 28 Trimble S3 Total Station User Guide Setup 4 2. Make sure that all the screws on the tripod and/or tribrach are tightened to avoid any play. Any high quality tripod and tribrach can be used. However, Trimble strongly recommends the use of tripod heads made of steel, aluminium or similar material. Tripod heads of fiberglass or other composite materials are not recommended. See Servo Technology on page 56 for more information. Measurement Stability 40. 1 Take into account that precision instruments require sufficient time to adjust to the ambient temperature. [. . . ] As an alternative to the Multi Battery Adapter, An external 12 V car battery can be used. Use one of the following cables: · The Cable - 3. 0m, Car battery (croc clips) to Hirose 6 pin. · The Cable - 3. 0m, Cigarette lighter to Hirose 6 pin C Caution ­ Use only the gray cables with 6-pin Hirose connectors from Trimble when connecting a cable to the Trimble S3 Total Station and Multi Battery Adapter. Charging the Battery See Trimble charger user guide for information. 55. 3 Battery Low Message 55. 4 If the battery capacity drops too low the Trimble S3 Total Station shuts down. You must then change the battery within two hours to prevent losing instrument parameters and functions such as instrument height, target height, coordinates, bearing, and dual axis compensation.
