Operating
Setting
1
First position the tripod leg and then
spread the other two so as to make
the tripod head almost level.
2
Firmly position the tripod legs on the
ground, then tighten the screws.
3
Place the instrument on the tripod
head, then screw the tripod screw
into the instrument bottom for secur-
ing it to the tripod.
4
Use a plumb bob to match the instru-
ment center with the measuring point
when a horizontal scale is used.
5
Use the three leveling screws to cen-
ter the circular level. When a dome
head tripod is used loosen the tripod
screw a little, slide the instrument,
center the bubble, looking at the
level, then the tripod screw to secure
the instrument.
Collimating
1
Direct the telescope to bright object
and turn the eyepiece ring so that the
reticle in the telescope is clearly seen.
2
Turn the instrument manually and
align the target through the sighting
collimator.
3
Focus the target with the focusing
knob.
4
Turn the horizontal knob to match the
reticle with the target.
Measuring (Height)
• In order to measure the difference in height
between point A and point B.
1
Set up the instrument almost in the
middle of the points.
2
Provide a leveling rod at point A and
B, one each, collimate them and read
the horizontal line of the reticle.
3
Suppose the reading at point A is a
and that at point B id b, and the differ-
ence in height between the two points
will be: a - b
