Page 32: Tools
Overview Description GeoMax instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to a high quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to calibrate the instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures. -
Page 33: Calibrating Line-Of-Sight, Vertical Index Error And Compensator Index Error
6.1.3 Calibrating Line-of-Sight, Vertical Index Error and Compensator Index Error Line-of-sight error The line-of-sight error, or horizontal collimation error is the deviation from the perpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the line-of-sight error to the horizontal direction increases with the vertical angle. -

Page 43: Scale Correction
Scale Correction Use of scale correction By entering a scale correction, reductions proportional to distance can be taken into account. • Atmospheric correction. • Reduction to mean sea level. • Projection distortion. Atmospheric correction The slope distance displayed is correct if the scale correction in ppm, mm/km, which has been entered corresponds to the atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time of the measurement. -

Reduction Formulas Formulas Mean Sea Level Instrument Reflector Slope distance Horizontal distance Height difference The instrument calculates the slope distance, horizontal distance, and height difference in accordance with the following formulas. Earth curvature (1/R) and mean refraction coefficient (k = 0.13) are automatically taken into account when calculating the horizontal distance and height difference. -
