LN-100 is a precision instrument. It must be inspected before use so that it always performs accurate
measurements.
In addition, the instrument should be inspected with special care after it has been stored a long time,
transported, or when it may have been damaged by a strong shock.
Setting Up the Instrument
Perform a setup operation under an environment where the sunlight is weak and not fluctuating
as well as LN-100 and the targets can be set as illustrated below.
• To perform checking efficiently, mark the four points described below using setting-out function
in advance.
• Place the instrument and targets in a straight line when looking from directly above.
• Acceptable range of each point position is ±5cm in all directions.
• Set LN-100 and the targets on a substantially horizontal place (such as a floor, level ground,
tripods of the same height). (The guideline for difference in height at 30 m is about 30 cm)
• Use ATP2 (360° prism) or ATP2S (360° slide prism) for the target.
• To set ATP2S, lower the height of the prism to reduce the setting error.
Measurement
• Sighting can be more accurately performed by facing the ATP2/ATP2S toward the instrument.

1. Set the instrument at instrument point 1.
2. Measure the target set at measurement point a to record the coordinates.
Because the target is re-measured at measurement point a after shifting to measurement point b,
the position should be marked (positioning accuracy is approximately ±1mm).
3. Set the target at measurement point b.
4. Measure the target set at measurement point b to record the coordinates.
5. Set up the instrument at instrument point 2.
6. Measure the target set at measurement point b to record the coordinates.
7. Set the target at measurement point a.
Return to the measurement position shown in 2. above.
8. Measure the target set at measurement point a to record the coordinates.
