Spectra AL28M-1 Laser Level User Manual


 
Adjusting the Instrument
Circular Level
1. Set up the instrument.
2. Center the bubble of the circular level using the leveling
screws.
3. Turn the telescope 180° (200 gon).
4 Check to see whether the bubble is still centered in the circle.
Ifitisn’t,eliminateonehalfoftheerrorwiththeleveling
screws and the other half with the two adjustment screws for
the circular level.
5. Repeat the process until the bubble remains centered when
the instrument is turned.
Taking an Angle Measurement
1. Set up the tripod so that it is over a hub.
Note: Make sure the tripod is stable and the tripod head is
relatively level.
2.Hangaplumb-bobfromtheplumb-bobhookonthetripod.
Note:Makesuretheplumb-bobisoverthehub.
3.Attachtheinstrumenttothetripod.
4.Centertheplumb-boboverthepininthehubbyvarying
the length of the tripod legs or by shifting the instrument
on the tripod.
5.Accuratelyalignthetelescopetothefirsttargetusingthe
sighting guides and a horizontal tangent knob.
Note: The first target is a known point.
6. Set the horizontal rotation ring to 0.
7.Accuratelyalignthetelescopetothesecondtargetandread

4. Move the instrument and reset it up so that it is about 2 m
behind point B.
5. Take another reading at point B (b
2
= 1.462 m).
6.Addb
2
to d to get value c (1.462 + 1.487 = 2.949 m).
7.TakeanotherreadingatpointA(a
2
).
8. Compare value c (2.949) to a
2
.Ifthelineofsightiscorrect,
both numbers should be the same. If they differ by more than
4mm,resetthegraderodonpointAandturnthecrosshairs
adjustment screws (unscrew the cover to expose them) until
value c (2.949) is centered in the crosshairs.
Caution: The upper and lower adjustment screws are
counter-screwsandmustnotbesettootightly.
9. Repeat the process until the line of sight is correct
(c and a
2
are the same).
1.Setuptheinstrumenthalfwaybetweentwopoints(AandB)
that are 30 to 40 m apart.
2.TakeareadingatpointA(a
1
= 2.423 m) and another one at
point B (b
1
= 0.936 m).
3. Subtract b
1
from a
1
to get the difference between the points
(d = +1.487 m). Make sure you note whether value d is a
positive or negative number.
Note: Because the distance from the instrument to each of
thepointsisequal,thedifferenceinelevationiscorrecteven
if the line of sight is out of adjustment.
