Target field If the measurement is started with the Target field set to Prism, there is a dash “–” in front of the prism constant. If the measurement is started with the Target field set to N-prism, there is a square bracket “]” in front of the prism constant. The symbol then constantly runs from left to right over the prism constant in the display. When an N-prism measurement is taken, the icon appears in the status bar (above the battery icon).

Incorrect Target settings may result in measurements outside the precision and intervals specified for the instrument. If a prism target is aimed in the N-prism mode, the warning message "Signal High! → Try Prism Mode" will be displayed because of the excessive light reflection. A measurement made immediately after changing the target setting may take a longer time than usual.The Target setting is used to apply better cyclic-error adjustment in distance measurement. It efficiently eliminates multipath reflection.

Checking and Adjustment

Adjusting the Electronic Level Adjustment of the electronic level is done by Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections. For detailed instruction, please see page 141.

Checking and Adjusting the Circular Level Once you have checked and adjusted the electronic level, check the circular level. If the bubble is not in the center of the level, use the adjusting pin to rotate the three adjustment screws of either circular level on the instrument main body or tribrach until the bubble is centered.

Checking and Adjusting the Optical/Laser Plummet The optical axis of the plummet must be aligned with the vertical axis of the instrument. To check and adjust the optical/laser plummet: 1.

Place the instrument on the tripod. You do not have to level the instrument.

2.

Place a thick sheet of paper marked with an X on the ground below the instrument. While you are looking through the optical plummet, adjust the leveling screws until the image of the X is in the center of the reticle mark . For laser plummet, adjust the laser pointer to the X.

3.

Rotate the alidade 180°. If the marked image is in the same position in the center of the reticle mark, no adjustment is required For laser plummet, if the laser pointer is on the X, no adjustment is required.

140


P


4.

6

If the image or laser pointer is not in the same position, adjust the optical or laser plummet: a.

Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to turn the adjustment screws until the image of the X is in Position P. Position P is the center point of the line connecting the X and the center of the reticle mark .

b.

Repeat from Step 2. For laser plummet adjustment, a cap needs to be removed.

Zero Point Errors of Vertical Scale and Horizontal Angle Corrections Checking 1.

Set up the instrument on the tripod.

2.

Follow the leveling procedures described in Leveling, page 15.

3.

Flip the telescope to the Face-1 position.

4.

Sight a target that is within 45° of the horizontal plane.

5.

Read the vertical angle from the VA1 field in the Basic Measurement Screen (BMS).

6.

Rotate the instrument 180° and flip the telescope to the Face-2 position.

7.

Read the vertical angle from the VA2 field.

8.

Add the two vertical angles together, VA1 + VA2. –

No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA zero setting) is set to Zenith, and VA1 + VA2 equals 360°.

–

No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA zero setting) is set to Horizon, and VA1 + VA2 is either 180° or 540°.

–

An adjustment is required if VA1 + VA2 is not one of the values listed above.

Note – The difference between the vertical angle reading the relevant angle (either 360° for Zenith, or 180° or 540° for Horizon) is called the altitude constant.

Checking the Instrument Constant The instrument constant is a numerical value used to automatically correct for the displacement between the mechanical and electrical centers when measuring distances. The instrument constant is set by the manufacturer before the instrument is shipped. However, to ensure the highest operational accuracy, we recommend that you check the instrument constant several times a year. To check the instrument constant, you can either compare a correctly measured base line with the distance measured by the EDM, or follow the procedure below.

P

Q

About 100 m

P

R

Q

To check the instrument constant: 1.

Set up the instrument at Point P, in as flat an area as possible.

2.

Set up a reflector prism at Point Q, 100 m away from Point P. Make sure that you take the prism constant into .

3.

Measure the distance between Point P and Point Q (PQ).

4.

Install a reflector prism on the tripod at Point P.

5.

Set up another tripod at Point R, on the line between Point P and Point Q.

6.

Transfer the Nivo series instrument to the tripod at Point R.

7.

Measure the distance from Point R to Point P (RP), and from Point R to Point Q (RQ).

8.

Calculate the difference between the value of PQ and the value of RP + RQ.

9.

Move the Nivo series instrument to other points on the line between Point P and Point Q.

10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 ten times or so. 11. Calculate the average of all the differences. The error range is within 3 mm. If the error is out of range, your dealer.

Checking the Laser Pointer The Nivo series total station uses a red laser beam to a laser pointer. The laser pointer is coaxial with the line of sight of the telescope. If the instrument is well adjusted, the red laser pointer coincides with the line of sight. External influences such as shock or large temperature fluctuations can displace the red laser pointer relative to the line of sight.
