5 Preparing for measurement 5.1 Instrument placement, centering and leveling Instrument mounted on a tripod, precise leveling and alignment to ensure the precision of the measurement results. 5.1.1 Plumb bob on leveling 1.) Set up the tripod Setup the tripod first: extend the extension legs to suitable lengths and tighten the screws on the mid sections. Make sure the legs are spaced at equal intervals and the head is approximately level. Set the tripod so that the head is positioned over the surveying point. Make sure the tripod -11-shoes are firmly fixed in the ground. 2.) Mount the instrument on the tripod head Mount the instrument on the tripod head. Supporting it - 15 -
with one hand, tighten the centering screw on the bottom of the unit to make sure it is secured to the tripod. 3.) Centering and Leveling-Up 1. Position tripod legs so that the plummet is aimed to the ground mark point. Turn the focusing ring of the optical plummet to focus. 2. Turn three foot screws of the tribrach till the center of reticle exactly coincides with the surveying point in any position. 3. Move the tripod legs to centre the circular level. The instrument is now roughly leveled-up. 4.) Center the bubble in the circular level. 1. Screw A Screw B Plate level Bubble Screw C Loosen the horizontal motion clamp, and turn the instrument till the plate level is perpendicular to a line shaped with screws A and B. Adjust the screws A and B to make the bubble in the center of the level. - 16 -
2. Screw A Screw B Turn the instrument approximately 90 Adjust screw C, till the bubble in the center of the level. Screw C Repeat above steps until the bubble remains in the center of the plate level while the instrument is rotated to any position. 5.) Center the surveying point again Loosen the centering screw slightly. Looking through the optical plummet eyepiece, slide the instrument over the tripod head until the surveying point is exactly centered in the reticle. Re-tighten the centering screw securely. 6.) Check again to make sure the bubble in the plate level is centered. If not, repeat procedure 4. - 17 -
5.1.2 Use the plummet for centering 1.) Erecting a tripod Setup the tripod first: extend the extension legs to suitable lengths and tighten the screws on the mid sections. Make sure the legs are spaced at equal intervals and the head is approximately level. Set the tripod so that the head is positioned over the surveying point. Make sure the tripod -11-shoes are firmly fixed in the ground. 2.) Mounting and centering Mount the instrument on the tripod head. Tighten the central connecting screw. Turn on the instrument, Press to open Direction light (Only for laser theodolite), Press again to open laser Point, we can see the red laser to the ground out from the base down. Through the laser we can adjust the position of the tripod point observation. So that the next point roughly aims at the station, make all three legs are fixed on the ground. Adjust the instrument three foot spiral to the point precisely to the measurement site. 3.) Do centering and leveling work again refers to - 18 -
chapter 5.1.1 step 3 to step 5. 5.2 Telescope eyepiece adjustment and target sighting Eyepiece adjustment 1. Remove the telescope mirror cover. 2. Pointing to the sky through the telescope, adjusting the eyepiece knob, the most clear reticle crosshairs. Object Sighting 1. Sight to the target with the crude sight. 2. Adjust the telescope focusing knob until the object can been seeing clearly. 3. Tighten the horizontal and vertical brake knob, fine-tune the two micro knob to accurately sight the center of the crosshair to target, move eye up and down for slightly observe, if the relative shift between the two images of the target with the crosshairs, then fine-tune the telescope focusing knob until the two images clear and relatively stationary ended. Clockwise rotation of the focusing knob to closer to the target. Rotate counterclockwise for contrary. - 19 -
If step (3) is not adjusted well, the parallax will distort the relationship of the target with the reticle center, then leading to the observation error. Micro knob according to precise target for a final time, should keep the knob clockwise. If the rotation is too far, we d better return and re-sighting knob rotates clockwise. Even if the eventuality vertical angle, we still recommend to sight the target as far as possible with the position of the center of the crosshairs. 5.3 Switch On and Off Switch On Operation: Click button to boot, after boot it will display the surveying interface. Switch Off Operation: Press for 3 seconds, See on the VA HAR 0. F F 190 15 15 TILT screen as shown below with the word "0.FF", you can release the button, the instrument is turned off. - 20 -
