1.

The EDM kit contains.

 

1.1

Leica EDM (models- System 1100, System 1200 and Viva TS15 may vary between states), Tripod, 2 

charged batteries, 
1.2

Accessories (1x check marker, 1x metal tape measure, 1x small hand-held spirit level, 3x non-slip 

triangular baseplates with spikes, 1x rebated timber block for edge locating of throwing circles, 1x clear acrylic 
disc for use on bottom of prism spike when working in the sand of horizontal jumps) 

 

2. Tripod setup for Throwing events.

(fig. 1 and fig. 2)

 

2.1

Position the EDM in a safe location where the safety of the operator and apparatus will not be 
compromised, 

2.2

Set up in clear sight of all sector centres and circles if preparing for discus, javelin and shotput and in 
accordance with the requests of the Referee/Chief, (fig 1 and fig 2) 

2.3

Set height of tripod top at chest height of the intended operator. 1.25m is a good average height. 

 

2.3.1

For speed of operation the sight tubes, above and below the instrument, are preferred to the 

optical lens, 

2.3.2

Shorter operators could use the lower sight tube aligning the white cross-hairs with the prism, 

2.3.3

Taller operators could use the upper sight tube aligning the white cross-hairs with the prism, 

2.4

Level top of tripod with small hand-held spirit level, 

2.5

Set legs of tripod so the operator will be standing in between two legs when reading the majority of 
throws, 

not straddled over a single leg.

 The leg opposite the operator should be pointing to the 

‘Common Impact Zone’ of the athletes competing. Set the legs to between 1.5m and 2m apart giving 
the operator a wider zone of operations.
