1.8 Eyepiece Adjustment and Object Sighting
Method of Object Sighting (for reference)
Sight the telescope to the sky and rotate the eyepiece tube to make the reticule
clear.
Collimate the target point with top of the triangle mark in the collimator.
(keep a certain distance between eye and the collimator).
Make the target image clear with the telescope focusing screw.
If there is parallax when your eye moves up and down or left and right this
indicates the diopter of the eyepiece lens or focus is not adjusted well and accuracy
will be effected. You should readjust the eyepiece tube carefully to eliminate the
parallax.
*** DO NOT remove the battery during measuring, otherwise the data will be lost
and the instrument could be harmed!! ***

3.4 Setting of the Vertical Angle Tilt Correction
When the tilt sensor is activated the instrument automatically corrects the
vertical angle for mislevel. To ensure a precise angle measurement the tilt sensor
must be turned on. The tilt sensor display can also be used to fine level the
instrument. If the (“X TILT OVER”) display appears the instrument is out of the
automatic compensation range and must be leveled manually to within tolerances.
The instruments compensates the vertical angle reading due to inclination of
the standing axis in the X direction.
When the instrument is on an unstable footing or used during a windy day the
display of vertical angle can be unstable. You can turn off the auto tilt correction
function in this case.

There are two methods to upload data to the instrument.
1. Directly upload the alignment data to the current operating internal memory
from a computer through a data cable (RS-232).
Refer to 10.8 for the operation method
2. Store the alignment data on an SD card, insert the SD card into the
instrument and then copy data from SD card to the memory.
Refer to 10.9 for the operation procedures.
The horizontal alignment data format is in the following format:
95
Explanation:
1. The data in the first row is the initial point data, and only one point can be
entered.
2. The data in the second, third, fourth rows is element data, any combination can be
input according to the requirements.
3. The data in the fifth, sixth, and seventh rows is auxiliary calculation data,
choosing whether to enter or not according to the requirements as an option, the
default step length is 20m. Only one staking space is available.
4. The transition curve parameter A and circular curve radius R as needed (sign as
per the direction of route, curve to left is negative, and curve to right is positive), all
other parameters are positive.
5. When the radius of circular curve is ∞, the input radius is 0.
Convert the designed alignment data into *.HAL file using transmission software,
then copy the data to SD card or the memory.
