Instrument Setup

Description This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser
plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked
ground point.
Important features:
• It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and
avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.
• The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the
instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier
to centre the instrument.
• The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equipped
with an optical plummet.
• Refer to "TPS1200+ Technical Reference Manual" for additional information
on using the laser plummet.
