5.5 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING INSTRUMENT FROM TRIBRACH 

 

·

Dismounting 

If  necessary,  the  instrument  (including  reflector  prisms  with  the  same  tribrach) 

can  be  dismounted  from  tribrach.  Loosen  the  tribrach  locking  screw  in  the  locking 
knob  with  a  screwdriver.  Turn  the  locking  knob  about  180°  counter-clockwise  to 
disengage anchor jaws, and take off the instrument from tribrach. 

 

·

Mounting 

Insert three anchor jaws into holes in tribrach and line up the directing stub with 

the directing slot. Turn the locking knob about 180°clockwise and tighten the locking 
screw with a screwdriver.
