Description

)

This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked ground point.

Important features:

•It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.

•The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier to centre the instrument.

•The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equipped with an optical plummet.

•Refer to "TPS1200 Technical Reference Manual" for additional information on using the laser plummet.
