Mechanical adjustment The following instrument parts can be adjusted mechanically: • • • Precise measurements To get precise measurements in the daily work, it is important: • • • ☞ 6.2.2 ☞ To check and adjust the instrument from time to time. To take high precision measurements during the check and adjust procedures. To measure targets in two faces. Some of the instrument errors are eliminated by averaging the angles from both faces.
☞ Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from storage to working environment, but at least 15 min, should be taken into account. ☞ Even after adjustment of the AiM, the crosshairs may not be positioned exactly on the centre of the prism after an AiM measurement has been completed. This outcome is a normal effect.
8. + 27° V= 90 ° - 27° Aim the telescope accurately at a visual target at about 100 m distance or less if not possible. No distance reading is taken during these steps so a prism target is not required. The visual target must be positioned at least 27 °/30 gon above or beneath the horizontal plane. 011051_001 9. Press OK to measure and continue to the next step. 10. 180° 180° Motorised instruments change automatically to the other face.
4. ☞ 6.2.5 Check the position of the circular level on the instrument and tribrach: a) If both circular levels are centred, no adjustments are necessary. b) If one or both circular levels are not centred, adjust as follows: • Instrument: If it extends beyond the circle, use the supplied allen key to centre it with the adjustment screws. Turn the instrument by 200 gon (180°). Repeat the adjustment procedure if the circular level does not stay centred.
2. Using the tribrach footscrews, level the instrument with the electronic level. 3. Access the electronic level and laser plummet by using the key-combination +<.> or by starting GeoMax Toolkit and go to MAIN MENU screen and select Level. 4. The laser plummet is switched on automatically when the Level up screen is entered. Adjust the laser plummet intensity. Inspection of the laser plummet should be carried out on a bright, smooth and horizontal surface, like a sheet of paper. 5.

AiM accuracy Automatic target aiming accuracies, like those of the AiM, are in general the same as the stated angular accuracy. Therefore these accuracies are also distance-dependent parameters. External impacts, like heat shimmer, rain (prism surface covered by rain drops), fog, dust, strong background lights, dirty targets, alignment of the targets etc. can have a significant influence on the automated target. In addition the selected EDM mode affects the AiM performance.
Measurements at the vertical limits of the fan or under unfavourable atmospheric conditions may reduce the maximum range.
