CAUTION:
Do not attempt to rotate the instrument using the sensor heads, or you may damage
the sensors; use the mounting rod only.
4. Perform a coarse leveling of the sensor using the sensor bubble level.
5. Tighten the four screws on top of the mounting bracket to properly secure the support arm
so that it does not rotate (
CAUTION:
The four screws need to be tightened evenly to ensure that the screwhead is in full
contact with the V-plate.
6. Perform the fine leveling using the three spring-loaded leveling screws.
7. Plug the sensor cable into the connector and route the cable to the instrument enclosure.
