4) Precisely leveling by using the plate vial. a. Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling screws A and B.
5) Precisely centering and leveling Through observation of optical plummet, slightly loosen the central connecting screw and move the instrument evenly (Don‟t rotate the instrument), making the instrument precisely collimating to the station point. Then tighten the central connecting screw and level the instrument precisely again. Repeat this operation till the instrument collimate precisely to the measurement station point.
Mounting Insert three anchor jaws into holes in tribrach and line up the directing stub with the directing slot. Turn the locking knob about 180° clockwise and tighten the locking screw with a screwdriver. 2.6 EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT AND COLLIMATING OBJECT Method of Collimating An Object (for reference) 1) Sight the Telescope to bright place and rotate the eyepiece tube to make the reticle clear.
Please refer to “2.2 Instrument Setup” for detailed leveling instruction. RCS compensates the vertical angle reading as well as both vertical and horizontal angle reading due to inclination of the vertical axis in the X direction and XY directions.
