FILL / DRAIN:
The table shows the measured fill-
ing and drain times of all stations
(in seconds) as average values.
Short-term = the last 5 operations
Long-term = the last 20 operations
The values are usually different, but should not
have any extremes. If one of the values is signifi-
cantly above 250, contact Leica Service.
There could be a blockage, which in a worst-
case scenario could cause the instrument to
malfunction.
