Overview
Leica Geosystems instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to
the best possible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can
cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recom-
mended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This check and
adjust can be done in the field by running through specific measurement pro-
cedures. The procedures are guided and must be followed carefully and pre-
cisely as described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors
and mechanical parts can be adjusted mechanically.
The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically:
Crosshairs offset
•
V-index
•
Tilt sensor
•
All calibration settings can also be reset to factory default.
☞
During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determ-
ined and set to zero. As mentioned previously, these errors can change and it
is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations:
After rough or long transportation
•
After long storage periods
•
If the temperature difference between the current environment and at the
•
last calibration is more than 20°C
Tilt Sensor Calibration
Before Calibration:
