Adjusting the circular vial

It is only necessary to adjust the circular vial if the bubble of the vial clearly 

moves outside the central ring when the level is rotated through 180°.

Adjusting the reticle:

1. Unscrew the cover (11).

2. Use the adjusting screw to adjust 

the set point which was 

determined earlier.

3. Check the reticle.
4. Adjust and check the reticle (repeat 

if necessary) until the theoretical 

set point and the set point which

was determined earlier coincide. 

5. Screw the cover (11) back into place.

∆h2 =A2 - B2

X > 0,0001

Adjust the reticle:

 2,007  m - 1,753 m  = 0,254 m

Difference in height between 

the measuring points:

The error in the height is calculated from:

( ∆h1 - ∆h2 ) 

(L2 - L1)

X=

B2 = A2 - ∆h1

5. Align the instrument with measuring 

     point A and read off the figure A2 

     on the measuring point.

4. Set up the instrument and level

it in front of the levelling rod A 

(distance approximately 1m) 

6. Align the instrument with measuring 

point B and read off the figure B2 

on the measuring point.
