 Object Sighting

(1) Point the telescope at the object using the collimator.

(2) Look through the telescope dyepiece and finely adjust the focusing
knob until the object is perfectly focused.
(3) Use the clamp screw, then the tangent screws to point the object
exactly. If focusing is correct, the reticule will not move, in relation
to the object, even when you move your eye slightly left and right.

●Turn the focusing knob clockwise to focus a near object. Turn

the knob counterclockwise to focus a far object.
●In （3） , parallax may distort the relation between the object
and reticule, resulting in the observation error.
●When aligning to an object using the tangent screw, always
align by rotating the screw clockwise. If the screw is truned past
over the object, trun it back to the original position and sight the
object by rotating the screw clockwise again.
●Even when vertical angle measurement is not required, it is
recommended that the object be placed to the center of the
reticule as exact as possible.

 6 ANGLE MEASUREMENT
6-1 Normal/reversed position telescope observations
“Normal position telescope” means that the shaft disc is on the left
side of the telescope when observers face eyepiece lens(see figure).
“Reversed position telescope” means that the shaft disc is on the right
side of the telescope when observers face eyepiece lens. Averaging the
value of normal/reversed position can effectively eliminate the instrument
systematic wrrors. So normal and reversed observation are made
generally.

(2)Take down the cover of the reticule between eyepiece and
focusing screw. Adjust the two adjusting screws by loosening one and
tightening the other. Move the reticule to sight at the object A exactly.
(3)Repeat inspection and adjustment until |2C|<20”.

 8-5 Vertical index difference compensation
Inspection
Liquid condenser automatic compensation set is used for vertical
index zeroing compensation. We can check if the function works well
by the following method.
(1) Mount and level the instrument and make the telescope
parallel with the line connecting the center of the instrument to any one
of the screws. Then,lock the horizontal clamp screw.
(2) Zero the vertical index after turning on the power. Lock the
vertical clamp screw and the instrument displays the vertical angle value.
(3)Rotate the above screw in a direction slowly to about 10mm
circumference. The displayed value changes and then disappers and rises
the message “b”. The vertical axis incline more than 3’ at this time and
exceed the designed compensation range. When you rotate the above
screw reversely to the original position, the instrument displays the
vertical angle again which means that the vertical index difference
compensation function works well. (check its changes at critical position

 repeatedly.)
Adjustment
If the compensation function does not work well. Send the
instrument back to factory for repairing.
8-6 Vertical index difference (I angle ) and vertical index zeroing
After making adjustments as described in 8-3 and 8-5, make the
inspection as following:
Inspection
(1) Set up the instrument and turn the power on . Then , sight
at a reference A and obtain the vertical angle (L).
(2) Reveres the telescope and sight at the object A again and
obtain the vertical angle (R)
(3) If vertical angle is zero at zenith,then, I=(L+R-360°)/2; If
vertical angle is zero at horizon, then , I=(L+R-180°)/2 or
(L+R-540°)/2.
(4) If |i| ≥10”, vertical index zeroing should be set again.
Adjustment (Setting up vertical index zeroing)
(1) After leveling the instrument, press and hold V% key until
three beeps. The instrument displays that:
V O SET
SET---1
(2) In normal position, turn the telescope around near the
horizontal direction until vertical angle appears. Sight at a clear

 and stable object A , which is nearly the same height as the
instrument. Press V% key, displaying:
V 90°20’30”
SET----2
(3) Reverse the telescope and sight at the object A again.
Press V% key to finish vertical index zeroing stting. The
instrument returns back to angle measurement mode.
(4) Repeat the inspection procedure. If |I|≥10” , check if
anything wrong in operation and repeat the adjustment
again.
(5) If the vertical index difference does not meet the standard
yet after being adjusted repeatedly, the instrument should
be send to factory to be repaired.
● The vertical angle displayed in the procedure of
zeroing setting is not compensated and can not be used
formally but as a reference value.
8—7 Optical plummet
Inspection
(1) Set the instrument on the tripod, and place a piece of
white paper with a cross drawn on it right under the
instrument.
(2) Look through the optical plummet, and move the
paper so that the intersecting point of the cross comes
to the center of the field of view.

 (3). Adjusting the leveling screws so that the center mark of the
optical plummet coincides with the intersecting point of the cross.
(4).Rotate the instrument around the vertical axis and at every
90°observe that if the center mark position coincides with the
intersecting point of the cross.
(5) If the center mark always coincides with intersecting point,
no adjustment is necessary. Otherwise, the following
adjustment is needed.

Adjustment
(1)Take down the protecting cover between the optical plummet
eyepiece and focusing knob.
(2)On the white paper with a cross drawn on it, mark the place of the
center mark when the instrument moves at every 90°, and mark them
A,B,C,D.
(3)Join the diagonals with lines (A,C and B,D),the intersecting point of
the two lines is called 0.
(4)Adjust the four adjusting screws of the optical plummet by an

38

 adjusting pin, until the center mark coincides with 0 point.
(5)Repeat the above inspecting and adjusting steps and check that if
the adjustment is correct.
(6)Cover the protecting cover back.

8-8. Other Adjustment

If the leveling screw looses, adjust it with two adjusting pins on the
basal plate. Tighten the screw till they are fit.
