rectifying optical plammet

Posted by mashaka ally mwageni on February 19, 2015 at 8:43am

I have a nikon dtm 332. when I level it and I rotate it  in horizontal plane i find that there is a shift in position of a ground point.

I tried to adjust the optical plummet but I couldn't make it. I tried to check through in user manual but still no help, any one to help me in the group

    Calibrating the Optical Plummet will take some patience and several attempts to fine turn the adjustment.

    1. Set instrument on Tripod close to level.
    2. Sight and mark position #1 of OP.
    3. Rotate Horizontally 180 Degrees
    4. Note OP position #2, and using the adjustment screws on the OP Eyepiece adjust the crosshairs one half of the difference from #1 and #2.
    5. Repeat this process until #1 and #2 are the same. Hope that helps.
