  • Not a Surveyor

    Hi Joseph, can I just confirm that you are talking about permanent adjustment of the instrument rather than lining up precisely on a target?

  • Yeah....if the reticle is so screwed that it can't be instrumentally adjusted...then pro repairs are the way to go. My internal Topton program is pretty decent...but you need a minimum 300 siting prism. But I think we all have access to those...lol

    This is not a simple task.  I adjust the laser pointer in my Leica total stations, but adjusting the crosshairs would require a full blown test bench.  1201330546?profile=original

    This is best taught in person. It is different from instrument to instrument in particulars. Consider engaging an expert who can certify the results.

    I serviced levels and transits for a number of years. All the major companies sell the equipment to do so. It is not cheap. I had to go to Switzerland for my training. The equipment and training was expensive  20 years ago.  Unless you follow that route I suggest you pay the $100 or so the have it done right. It is cheap insurance for doing the job wrong.
