1. Use of instrument The total station is such an instrument that measures the azimuth and distances to destination and can calculate the destination point coordinates automatically. It plays an important role in the economic construction and national defense construction. General Survey, exploration and mining of minerals, the construction of railways, roads, bridges, irrigation, urban planning and construction is driven by electronic total station measurements.

11. Adjustments and Corrections The instrument is under strict test and calibration, the quality is accord with the standard demand. But after a long-distance transportation and environment change, the small change of instrument parameter is inevitable. Therefore, the new purchased instruments should be checked and calibrated before surveying to ensure the precision. 11.1 Tubular Level Check See reference in using tubular level to level the instrument precisely. Calibration 1.
PAGE 102
11.3 Reticle of the telescope 8 8 Check 1. Aim at a target A from the telescope after leveling the instrument the cross wire on the reticle. Lock the instrument with vertical and horizontal locking knob after aiming at A. 2. Rotate the vertical slow motion knob, move A point to the edge of the field of view (A 'points); If point ―A‖ moves along the vertical line of the crosshair, but is still in the vertical line as the left picture, the crosshair doesn't need to calibrate.
PAGE 103
11.4 The Perpendicularity of Collimation axis and Cross axis (2C) Check 1. Set a target A in about 100m away, and make sure the vertical angle of the target is within ±3°.Precisely level the instrument and switch on it; 2. Make the telescope focused on target A in face left, and read the horizontal angle e.g. HA (L)=10°13′10″; 3. Loosen the vertical and horizontal brake hand-wheel, turn the telescope, rotate the alidade to face right and focus on the same target A.

11.5 Vertical compensation plate index zero automatic Checkout 1. After Setting up and leveling the instrument, make the direction of the telescope consistent with the line between the center of the instrument and any of the foot screw; 2. The vertical plate index change to zero after switching on Tighten the vertical brake hand-wheel and the instrument display the current telescope vertical Angle; 3.

it 5 meters and 20 meters away. Start laser direction function. Focus on the reflector center by the telescope crosshair center, then check the position of the red laser point. Generally speaking, the telescope is equipped with special filter, human eyes can′t see laser point through the telescope, you can see the offset between the red laser point and the reflector crosshair center, you can observe this above the telescope or at the side face of reflector.
