5.2 IBIS-S installation
In order to simplify system installation, the area whe
re the IBIS-S is to be installed must
be chosen carefully. The selected area must satisfy the following requirements:
• The scenario of interest must be visible and the view must be uninterrupted by
the presence of obstacles from the chosen point (trees, fences, buildings);
• The area must be sufficiently large to mount the tripod, manoeuvre with the case
and for the operator to work from (the tripod covers at most a circular surface
1.5 m in diameter while the case has a base of 85x55 cm);
• The surface must be compact and stable to avoid any subsidence under the
weight of the instrument.
Once the optimal installation point has been chosen, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the tripod form its bag.
2. Open the tripod and fix it at the desired height using the levers and blocking
screws.
3. Ensure that all the joints have been firmly tightened to optimise the rigidity and
stability of the tripod.
4. Position the tripod on the ground being careful that the area chosen is stable.
5. Level the tripod using its spirit level, adjusting the length of the individual legs
if required
.
