two axis have their own separate collimation data. It is
however important to make collimation test for both axes.
How to Check Aiming
You can check how well the instrument is calibrated by
measuring toward the prism with and without Autolock and
compare the measured angles:
1. Aim manually at a prism and read out the horizontal and
vertical angles.
2. Turn on Autolock and let the instrument lock on to the
same prism automatically, read out the horizontal and
vertical angles.
3. Compare the angles between manual and Autolock aiming.
If the difference between the read out angles is significant,
you should carry out both a horizontal and vertical angle
collimation adjustment, and a tracker collimation adjustment.

unit. Tracklight is a visible guide light that
enables the rod holder to position themselves into the
instruments current line of sight. The Tracklight can be used
during stakeout in all operational modes, and is also of great
benefit when operating in robotic mode as a means of
checking that the instrument is tracking, or when trying to
reacquire lock by walking into the sight line of the tracker, or
using the remote joystick control in robotic mode. Tracklight
consists of a flashing two-colored light, with each color lying
in its own lateral projection sector. If the rod holder is to the
