35. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
A CX is a precision instrument that requires fine adjustments. It must be inspected
and adjusted before use so that it always performs accurate measurements.
• Always perform checking and adjustment in the proper sequence beginning
from "35.1 Plate Level" to "35.8 Laser Plummet".
• In addition, the instrument should be inspected with special care after it has
been stored a long time, transported, or when it may have been damaged by a
strong shock.
• Make sure the instrument is securely set up and stable before performing
checks and adjustments.
35.1 Plate Level
The bubble tube is made of glass, so it is sensitive to temperature or to shocks.
Check and adjustment is necessary, if the plate level is provided.
PROCEDURE Checking and adjusting

the position of the bubble of the
plate level.
