Instrument Setup
Description
This topic describes an instrument setup over a
marked ground point using the laser plummet. It is
always possible to set up the instrument without the
need for a marked ground point.
)
Important features:
• It is always recommended to shield the
instrument from direct sunlight and avoid
uneven temperatures around the instru-
ment.
• The laser plummet described in this topic is
built into the vertical axis of the instrument.
It projects a red spot onto the ground,
making it appreciably easier to centre the
instrument.
• The laser plummet cannot be used in
conjunction with a tribrach equipped with an
optical plummet.
