Levelling
Measurement Preparation SPRINTER 100/100M/200/200M 11
Step Description
1. Set up the tripod. Extend the legs to a suitable length and ensure that the tripod
head is approximately level. Tread the tripod shoes firmly into the ground to
ensure stability.
2. Mount the instrument on the tripod by screwing the tripod screw onto the base
of the instrument.
Measurement Preparation
Step Description
3. Use the three levelling foot screws to center the circular bubble in order to level
the instrument. Turn the telescope of the instrument perpendicular to foot
screws A and B. Turn foot screws A and B simultaneously in opposite direction
until the bubble is in the center of the imaginary "T". Finally turn the foot screw
C until the bubble is shifted to the center of the circular vial.

Focusing
Step Description
5. Use the gunsight to aim the objective lens at the staff. Turn the horizontal fine
motion screw until the staff is nearly centered in the field of view and then turn
the focusing knob to focus on the staff. Looking through the telescope, shift
your eyes slightly up and down and if the staff and the reticle does not show any
deviation or displacement against one another, then the instrument is ready for
usage. Otherwise, both steps 3 and 4 should be repeated.
