    40-6540 Service Manual 4.1. Horizontal Mode Operation In this mode of operation, the instrument is self-leveling, where by a major factor of accuracy is how well the leveling compensator is balanced. Different types of errors require different methods of calibration. These errors are easily characterized by placing the instrument on a flat surface following the guidelines below, and running the instrument with the rotating head continuously rotating 360°.

    40-6540 Service Manual 4.1.2. Characterize the type of error Use the following rules to determine what type of accuracy error the instrument for test has, and reference the stated section to adjust for it. Note that the unit my have a combination of different types of errors to adjust for, in which case, multiple calibration must be performed.

    40-6540 Service Manual 4.1.2.1 Qblique/Inclination error This type of error occurs when leveling compensator does not hang straight (as illustrated to the right), i.e. is not properly balanced. When the laser spins, it actually rotates on a plain that is not level, i.e. perfectly horizontal whose rotating axis is not plumb.

    40-6540 Service Manual 4.1.2.2 Taper/Cone error Taper error results when the prism base module does not reflect the laser light exactly 90° (i.e. non-perpendicularity between the rotating line and the rotating axis). The end result is a laser rotating surface that is not a plane, but a tapered one as shown in the figure to the right.
