Adjusting the Compensator

The compensator index errors (l, t) occur, if the vertical axis of the instrument
and the plumb line are parallel but the zero points of the compensator and the
circular level do not coincide. The calibration procedure electronically adjusts
the zero point of the compensator.
A longitudinal component in direction of the telescope and a transversal com-
ponent perpendicular to the telescope define the plane of the dual axis com-
pensator of the instrument.
The longitudinal compensator index error (l) has a similar effect as the vertical
index error and effects all vertical angle readings.
The transversal compensator index error (t) is similar to the tilting axis error.
The effect of this error to the horizontal angle readings is 0 at the horizon and
increases with steep sightings.
1. Select Settings from the Main Menu.
2. On the Tools page, select Adjust.
3. Select Comp. Index.
1. Level the instrument with the electronic level. Refer to "4 Operation"
- "Level up with the electronic level step-by-step".
2. Press Store to measure the first face. No target has to be aimed at.
3. Store to release the measurement in the other face.
Description
Horizontal angle in face II deviates by more
than 5° from the target point. Aim on the
target point with an accuracy of min. 5°.
