HDS7000, Setting Up the Instrument
Shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures
around the instrument.
1. Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture. Tighten the
screws at the bottom of the legs.
2. Place the tribrach on the tripod and secure it with the central fixing screw.
3. Set up the tripod so that the tripod plate is as horizontal as possible.
4. Push the tripod legs firmly into the ground.
5. Level up the tribrach using the circular level. Turn two of the foot screws together
in opposite directions. The index finger of your right hand indicates the direction
in which the bubble should move. Now use the third foot screw to centre the
bubble.
6. Place the instrument on the tribrach and secure it with the tribrach's locking
knob. Make sure that the instrument is levelled by checking the built-in circular
level.
When placing the instrument on the tribrach, align the legs of the scanner's
table stand with the foot screws of the tribrach.
It is recommended to setup the HDS7000 horizontally by using the tripod
screws. Subsequently the established horizontation can be refined using
the integrated electronic level. If the incline is more than 0.5°, a warning
appears before scanning.
