To establish vertical lines and planes, 

first level the instrument, then release the 

locking levers which hold the telescope in 

the level position. 
Swing the telescope vertically and 

horizontally until the line to be established 

is directly on the vertical cross hair. If the 

telescope is rotated up or down, each 

point cut by the vertical cross hair should 

be in a vertical plane with the starting 

point.

CHECkING CALIBRATION

Your David White instrument must be 

serviced and repaired by an authorized 

David White service center. 
You may, however, choose to check 

the instrument yourself to make sure it is 

properly adjusted.  A simple, inexpensive 

setup can be established to check an 

instrument’s line of sight:
1.   Locate an area to set up a tripod 

that is 10 feet (3 m) away from a wall, 

post, permanent shelving, etc. and 

approximately 75 ft to 100 ft (22 m 

to 30 m) away at a 90°angle from 

another wall, post, etc.

2.   Using an automatic level or other 

high-accuracy instrument known 

to be in perfect adjustment, secure 

it to the tripod and level it following 

instructions in the instrument’s 

owner’s manual.

3.   Make sure the tripod is on a firm base 

and mark the location of the tripod 

shoe points. These marks can be 

used for future reference.

4.   After the instrument has been 

completely leveled, sight on the wall 

that is 10 feet (3 m) away.

5.   Place a two-foot section of rod ribbon 

on the wall so the horizontal cross 

hair of the instrument intersects the 

middle of the two-foot section.

6.   Rotate the instrument 90°and sight 

on the wall that is about 75 feet to 

100 feet (22 m to 30 m) away.

7.   Place a two-foot section of rod ribbon 

on that far wall so the horizontal cross 

hair of the instrument intersects the 

middle of the two-foot section (as 

in Step 5). Adjust this rod ribbon so 

that it reads the same exact point as 

the closer ribbon. Secure ribbon with 

tape or glue.

8.  Now put the instrument to be 

checked on the tripod and take a 

reading on the ribbon 10 feet (3 m)

away. Record the reading.

9.   Rotate the instrument 90° and take a 

reading on the distant ribbon.

10.  Compare the two readings. If there 

is a difference in the two readings, 

your instrument needs adjusting by a 

David White service facility.

If you have questions about checking 

for calibration, contact David White or a 

repair facility. All actual adjusting of the 

instrument must be done by a qualified 

service facility.
