Setting Up the Instrument
Step Description
Shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures
around the instrument.
1. Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture. Tighten
the screws at the bottom of the legs.
2. Place the tribrach on the tripod and secure it with the central fixing screw.
3. Set up the tripod so that the tripod plate is as horizontal as possible.
4. Level up the tribrach using the circular level. Turn two of the foot screws
together in opposite directions. The index finger of your right hand indi-
cates the direction in which the bubble should move. Now use the third
foot screw to centre the bubble.
5. Place the instrument on the tribrach and secure it with the tribrach's
locking knob. Make sure that the instrument is levelled by checking the
built-in circular level.
The instrument must be levelled before it is switched ON. If not levelled
using the tribrach's or the instrument's circular level, it may not power up
properly or scanning accuracy may not be achieved.
When placing the instrument on the tribrach, align the legs of the
scanner's table stand with the foot screws of the tribrach.
