Colligated Checkout and Calibration Platform With Lf-3 Instruction Manual

The document describes a colligated checkout and calibration platform with LF-3 that consists of an optical collimator, fine adjustment platform, column, and base. It can be used to check and calibrate various surveying instruments. The platform comes in three types with different numbers of collimators. It works by aligning the collimators with the instrument being calibrated and recording measurements. Proper handling and storage is required to maintain the platform.

I. Structure
The colligated checkout and calibration platform with LF-3 consists
of optical collimator, fine adjustment platform, column, rising and falling
adjustment platform and base, etc. To be convenient for carrying, the
collimator, fine adjustment platform, column, rising and falling adjustment
platform are assembled on the same base. (see fig.)

2. Collimator with horizontal angle
3. Collimator with elevation
4. Collimation collimator
5. 10” level bubble
6. Fine adjustment platform
7. Column
8. Rising and falling adjustment platform
9. Accessories (heightening tube, connecting plate with screw
thread of British measurement)
Ⅱ. Application Scope
The instrument is applicable to checkout and calibration of various
instruments such as transit instrument, water level, plane table,
electronic theodolite and omnibearing apparatus, etc. being the main
testing device, indispensable by sale department of surveying
instruments, maintenance department, professional surveying sector
and construction unit with large-scale, etc. the checkout and calibration
platform is classified into three kinds which may be selected by the users
according to their demand.

Type Quantity of Collimator Remark


LF-3A 2 Collimation collimator
Collimator with elevation
LF-3B 3 Collimator with angle of depression
Collimation collimator
Collimator with elevation
LF-3C 4 Collimator with angle of depression
Collimator with horizontal angle
Collimation collimator

Precision of level bubble: 10’’


Focus glass scale value: 20’’
Screw thread of link implementation: Metric: 16/British:5/8’’
The adjustment benchmark of the colligated checkout and
calibration platform is collimation collimator and 10’’ level bubble. Before
using, the 10’’ level bubble and collimation collimator should be leveled,
which shall make the checkout and calibration platform into level position.
With collimator with elevation and collimator with angle of depression
combined, it may be used for checking and calibrating the various
indexes of transit instruments and i angle of leveling instrument, etc.

Ⅲ. Method of Application
After assembling or moving, it should be checked and calibrated,
the steps of which are stated as the follows:
1. Have the qualified transit instrument with second precision
assembled onto rising and falling adjustment platform.
2. Have the rising and falling platform adjusted to make the center
of observation mirror of transit instrument approximately at the same
height with that of collimation collimator of checkout and calibration
platform.
3. Have the transit instrument leveled and have the angle adjusted
into 90° (meaning have the observation mirror leveled).
4. Turn on the lighting switch of the colligated checkout and
calibration platform and have graduation of the collimation collimator
adjusted and coincided with that of the transit instrument. Have the
collimation collimator adjustment bolts tightened.
5. Have the 10’’ level bubble leveled with adjustment bolts
tightened.
6. Have the graduation contact ratio of collimation collimator of the
colligated checkout and calibration platform and the transit instrument
checked. If not well done, do it once again according to the above steps.
7. When the graduation center of collimation collimator of the
colligated checkout and calibration platform has coincided totally with
graduation center of the transit instrument, with the bleb of the 10’’ level
bubble at the center, it shows that the collimation collimator of the
colligated checkout and calibration platform is leveled for putting into
working, with level error not more that 2’’ (now, the height, angle reading
of the transit instrument should be recorded in the data sheet for
comparison later.)
8. The transit instrument may turn left by 22° or so. (Note: only can
the type C, i.e. the checkout and calibration platform with four collimators
be turned like this.)
9. Have the collimator with horizontal angle of the checkout and
calibration platform adjusted to totally coincided with the graduation of
the transit instrument, with the adjustment bolts of the collimator locked
tightly and with the height and angle reading of the transit instrument
recorded in the data sheet.
10. Have the transit instrument adjusted upward 30° with the
collimator with angle of depression of the colligated checkout and
calibration platform adjusted to have its graduation totally coincided with
that of the transit instrument, then having the fastening screw locked,
with the height and angle reading of the transit instrument recorded in
the data sheet.
11. Have the transit instrument adjusted downward by 30° with
collimator with elevation of the colligated checkout and calibration
platform adjusted to have its graduation totally coincided with that of the
transit instrument, then having the adjusting screw locked with the height
and angle reading of the transit instrument recorded in the data sheet.
12. To fit in with the different height and connecting screw thread
(the metric system or British measurement), the checkout and calibration
platform has equipped with height adjusting tube and connecting fittings
with screw of British measurement, which may be taken down or
installed for necessity. With its rising and falling adjustment platform
equipped, the checkout and calibration platform shall meet the demands
form different instruments.
13. With plumb measurement combined, the colligated checkout
and calibration platform may be used to conveniently determine the tilt
error of the graduation.
Ⅳ. Maintenance
The colligated checkout and calibration platform with LF-3 is
structured of the principle in self-checking and self-calibration, which has
offered great convenience to maintenance and regular calibration, not
necessary to use special site and professional personnel,
supplementary instrument.
For operating, only with the above steps and method followed and
with a set of qualified transit instrument with second precision used, the
entire checking and calibration shall be finished.
To guarantee the checkout and calibration platform works stably for
a long-term, the following has to be paid attention to:
1. In carrying and transporting the checkout and calibration
platform, please be careful to have it taken down gently.
2. The environment where the instrument is used should be kept
away from vibrating source and strong light source.
3. Don’t loosen the non-adjusting screw.
4. Have it cleaned, avoiding damage to it. After using, the lens
cap of the collimator should be well covered to prevent it from
dust or damage.
5. The lens of the collimator should be cleaned with clean
flannelette or paper, preventing it from dirt or damaged by
hard things.
