27. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS 3. First confirm the off-center direction. Use the adjusting pin to loosen the circular level adjustment screw on the side opposite to the direction the bubble is displaced to move the bubble to the center. 4. Adjust the adjusting screws until the tightening tension of the three screws is the same to align the bubble in the middle of the circle.

27. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS 27.7 Additive Distance Constant The additive distance constant K of the SET is adjusted to 0 before delivery. Although it almost never deviates, use a baseline with a known distance precision to check that the additive distance constant K is close to 0 several times a year and whenever the values measured by the instrument begin to deviate by a consistent amount.
If the additive distance constant K is within ±3mm even once, adjustment is unnecessary. If it always exceeds this range, have your Sokkia service representative perform an adjustment. 27.8 Guide Light When the dividing line (the position where it switches back and forth from red to green) for the red and green guide lights is off centered from the reticle lines, use the following procedures to make adjustments.
Page 157
27. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS 5. Set the horizontal angle to 0° by pressing [0 SET] twice on the first page of the Meas mode. 6. Look through the telescope to verify that the guide lights are being reflected in the prism. If both colors (red and green) are visible:proceed to procedure 7.

34. EXPLANATION 34.1 Manually Indexing the Vertical Circle by Face Left, Face Right Measurement The 0 index of the vertical circle of your SET is almost 100% accurate, but when it is necessary to perform particularly high precision angle measurements, you can eliminate any inaccuracy of the 0 index as follows.
Sokkia recommends that extremely precise instruments be used to monitor the air temperature and pressure. • Finding the average temperature and pressure between two points in different...
Page 180
34. EXPLANATION • Calculation of atmospheric correction factor allowing for humidity The humidity has little influence, particularly on short distance measurements. The effect of humidity should be considered in cases where it is very hot and humid and high precision measurements are to be performed over a particularly long distance.
