1.1 Defining Tolerances
Description Before use of the mining applications, tolerance profiles have to be defined and
selected. The definition of tolerances can be done either via the Mining Editor
software or manually on the instrument. This chapter describes defining and
selecting tolerances manually. Refer to "6 Mining Editor" for details on using the
Mining Editor software.
Access 1. Select Prog from the MAIN MENU.
2. Select Define Tolerances from the PROGRAMS menu.
3. Enter the current PIN.
4. Press OK to proceed to the tolerance profile screen.
)If a wrong PIN has been typed in 5 times, a Personal UnblocKing code (PUK) is
required, which can be found on the instrument delivery papers. If the entered PUK
code is correct, then the PIN code is reset to default value "123456".
Define tolerances
step-by-step Step Description
1. Select the tolerance profile to define. Primary, Secondary or Tertiary.
2. Enter the limits for horizontal direction, horizontal distance and height.
3. Select the preferred sequence BFFB, BFBF, or BBFF, and number of sets.

Description The definition of tolerances is PIN protected to prevent unauthorised changes. The
PIN is definable by the user. If a wrong PIN has been typed in 5 times, a Personal
UnblocKing code (PUK) is required, which can be found on the instrument delivery
papers. If the entered PUK code is correct, then the PIN code is reset to default value
"123456".
Set PIN code step-

2 Peg Survey
2.1 Overview
Description The application Peg Survey is used:
• to establish a forward peg (point).
• to control the intermediate horizontal angle between backsight and foresight
points.
• to check the horizontal distances and heights of the backsight and foresight
points.
• to compute the coordinates of the foresight point.
Users can measure several sets in different sequences. The quality of measurement
is controlled by the tolerances which are set before starting Peg Survey.
