  1. Corrections and AdjustmentsTCA 1800

  2. Errors Present in TCA • (l,t) Dual Axis Compensator Index Error • (i) Vertical Index Error • (c) Line of Sight Error • (a) Tilting Axis Error • (ATR) Target Recognition Axis Error

  3. These Errors Can Change Over Time and With Temperature ...

  4. Therefore Should be Redetermined: • Before the First Use • Before Each Precision Survey • After Being Transported Over Long Distances • After Long Periods of Work • Change of Temperature > 20 degrees C

  5. Dual Axis Compensator Errors • This Determines the Error in the Longitudinal (l) and Transverse (t) Compensators • If the instrument is to be Leveled without Turning the Alidade, this procedure must be conducted periodically

  6. Dual Axis Compensator ErrorsPage 2 • Acclimatize the Instrument • Level the Instrument • Activate the Calibration Procedure • Select <CAL> from the Main Menu • Press <F1> (l, t) • Follow Prompts

  7. Vertical Index Error • Zero Point Error of the Vertical Circle in relation to the Vertical Axis • Setup and Level the Instrument • Setup a Target at about 100 m • Make sure that the target is within 9 degrees of the horizontal plane

  8. Vertical Index ErrorPage 2 • Activate the Calibration Procedure • Select <CAL> from the Main Menu • Select <F2> (i) • The Dual Axis Compensator is automatically turned off for the process • Follow the Prompts

  9. Horizontal Collimation Error • This is the Error in the Line of Sight as it deviates from the line perpendicular to the Tilting Axis • Setup and Level the Instrument • Setup a Target at about 100 m • Make sure that the target is within 9 degrees of the horizontal plane

  10. Horizontal Collimation ErrorPage 2 • Activate the Calibration Procedure • Select <CAL> from the Main Menu • Select <F3> (c) • The Dual Axis Compensator is automatically turned off for the process • Follow the Prompts

  11. Tilting Axis Error • Deviation of the Tilting Axis from the Perpendicular of the Vertical Axis • Setup a Target at about 100 m • The Target must be positioned at least 27 degrees above or below the horizon

  12. Tilting Axis ErrorPage 2 • Activate the Calibration Procedure • Select <CAL> from the Main Menu • Select <F3> (a) • The Dual Axis Compensator is automatically turned off for the process • Follow the Prompts

  13. ATR Collimation Error To be discussed during the ATR Topic
