    Total Station Manual Calibration  If the bubbles is not in the center, use the correction needle or six angle wrench to adjust the correction screw which under the bubble to make the buble to the center. For calibration, you shall first loosen the calibration screw (1 or 2) which opposite to the direction of the bubble offset, then tighten the other correction screw in the offset direction to make the bubble in the center.

    Total Station Manual 3.8 Instrument additive constant (K) The instrument constant is inspected when it out, and correct it inside the machine, make K = 0. Instrument constant change rarely, but we suggest that check it this way for one or two times each year. The checkout should be done in the standard baseline, or you can take the following simple method.

Open EDM signal, observe maximum value of the signal, and find the center of the launch axis. 4. Check whether the telescope crosshair center coincide with the emission photoelectricity axis center, if they coincide on the whole we can say it qualified.
