Overview Description GeoMax instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to a high quality. Quick temper- ature 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 39: Calibrating Line-Of-Sight, Vertical Index Error And Compensator Index Error
☞ Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from storage to working environ- ment, but at least 15 min, should be taken into account. 6.1.3 Calibrating Line-of-Sight, Vertical Index Error and Compensator Index Error Line-of-sight error... -
Page 40: Calibrating The Level Of The Instrument And Tribrach
A longitudinal component in direction of the telescope and a transversal component perpendicu- lar to the telescope define the plane of the dual axis compensator of the instrument. The longitudinal compensator index error (l) has a similar effect as the vertical index error and effects all vertical angle readings. -
Page 41: Inspecting The Laser Plummet Of The Instrument
The laser plummet is integrated into the vertical axis of the instrument. Under normal conditions of use, the laser plummet does not need adjusting. If an adjustment is necessary due to external influences, the instrument has to be returned to a GeoMax service department. Inspect the laser plummet... -
