Check & Adjust

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 recommended to
check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by
running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and
have to be followed carefully and precisely 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:
• Horizontal collimation error, also called line-of-sight error.
• Vertical index error, and simultaneously the electronic level.
• Tilting axis error.
For determining these errors, it is necessary to measure in both faces, but the
procedure can be started in any face.
The following instrument parts can be adjusted mechanically:
• Circular level on the instrument and tribrach.
• Laser plummet.
• Screws on the tripod.
