1     Introduction2     Total Station Nivo Series Instruction ManualWelcomeThank you for purchasing this Nikon product. This instruction manual was written for the users of Total Station Nivo series instruments. Before you operate a Nivo series instrument, read this manual carefully. In particular, pay attention to the warnings and cautions that appear in the Safety section at the front of the manual. Before you begin, you should also read the maintenance instructions. For more information, see Maintenance, page 5.

Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual     5Introduction     1MaintenanceBefore using the instrument, read and follow the following maintenance instructions:•Do not leave the instrument in direct sunlight or in a closed vehicle for prolonged periods. Overheating the instrument may reduce its efficiency.•If the Nivo series instrument has been used in wet conditions, immediately wipe off any moisture and dry the instrument completely before returning the instrument to the carrying case. The instrument contains sensitive electronic assemblies which have been well protected against dust and moisture. However, if dust or moisture gets into the instrument, severe damage could result.•Sudden changes in temperature may cloud the lenses and drastically reduce the measurable distance, or cause an electrical system failure. If there has been a sudden change in temperature, leave the instrument in a closed carrying case in a warm location until the temperature of the instrument returns to room temperature.•Do not store the Nivo series instrument in hot or humid locations. In particular, you must store the battery pack in a dry location at a temperature of less than 30 °C (86 °F). High temperature or excessive humidity can cause mold to grow on the lenses. It can also cause the electronic assemblies to deteriorate, and so lead to instrument failure.•Store the battery pack with the battery discharged.•When storing the instrument in areas subject to extremely low temperatures, leave the carrying case open.•When adjusting the leveling screws, stay as close as possible to the center of each screw’s range. The center is indicated by a line on the screw.•If the tribrach will not be used for an extended period, lock down the tribrach clamp knob and tighten its safety screw.•Do not use organic solvents (such as ether or paint thinner) to clean the non-metallic parts of the instrument (such as the keyboard) or the painted or printed surfaces. Doing so could result in discoloration of the surface, or in peeling of printed characters. Clean these parts only with a soft cloth or a tissue, lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent.•To clean the optical lenses, lightly wipe them with a soft cloth or a lens tissue that is moistened with alcohol.
1     Introduction6     Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual•The reticle plate cover has been correctly mounted. Do not release it or subject it to excessive force to make it watertight. •Before attaching the battery pack, check that the contact surfaces on the battery and instrument are clean.•Securely press the cap that covers the data output/external power input connector terminal. The instrument is not watertight if the cap is not attached securely, or when the data output/external power input connector is used.•The carrying case is designed to be watertight, but you should not leave it exposed to rain for an extended period. If exposure to rain is unavoidable, make sure that the carrying case is placed with the Nikon nameplate facing upward.•The battery pack contains a Lithium-ion battery. When disposing of the battery pack, follow the laws or rules of your municipal waste system.•The instrument can be damaged by static electricity from the human body discharged through the data output/external power input connector. Before handling the instrument, touch any other conductive material once to remove static electricity.•Be careful not to pinch your finger between the telescope and trunnion of the instrument.Reticle plate cover
