9.8 Inspection and Adjustment of Optic Axis for
Auto -Tracking (GPT-8000A Series)

Activates auto tracking to the prism.
Confirm if the center of telescope reticle and the center of the prism is coincided.
Any error between them requires adjustment according to the following procedure.

Prism center

Telescope reticle center

Centers of prism
and telescope is shifted

• Position a prism around 0 in horizontal and about 50m to 100m (164 to 328ft) apart from the

GPT-8000A series.

• Take care not to be interrupted the optical path during measurement.
