Overview
GeoMax instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible quality.
Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument
accuracy. It is therefore recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
This check and adjust can be done in the field by running through specific measurement proce-
dures. The procedures are guided and must be followed carefully and precisely as described in
the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical parts can be adjusted
mechanically.
The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically:
l, t
Compensator longitudinal and transversal index errors
i
Vertical index error, related to the standing axis
c
Horizontal collimation error, also called line of sight error
a
Tilting axis error
AiM
AiM zero point error for Hz and V - option
If the compensator and the horizontal corrections are activated in the instrument configuration,
every angle measured in the daily work is corrected automatically.
The results are displayed as errors but used with the opposite sign as corrections when applied
to measurements.
To view the adjustment errors currently used, select MAIN MENU: Apps\Calib\View Adjust-
ment Data.
