Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017093086A1] The invention relates to a method for measuring an operating temperature of equipment which can be oriented in a defined state using a levelling instrument, said levelling instrument comprising: at least one tilt sensor with a housing that is filled with a liquid and a gas bubble; a light source; and a photosensor. The method comprises the steps: storing a characteristic curve of bubble lengths (L) for the gas bubble and temperatures (T) in a control device of the equipment; measuring the bubble length (L) of the gas bubble; and determining the temperature (T) associated with the measured bubble length (L) of the gas bubble with the aid of the characteristic curve.
