Adjusting the Electronic Level
Adjustment of the electronic level is done by Zero point errors of vertical scale and
horizontal angle corrections. For detailed instruction, please see page 31.
Checking and Adjusting the Circular Level
Once you have checked and adjusted the electronic
level, check the circular level.
If the bubble is not in the center of the level, use the
adjusting pin to rotate the three adjustment screws
of either circular level on the instrument main body
or tribrach until the bubble is centered.
Checking and Adjusting the Optical/Laser Plummet
The optical axis of the plummet must be aligned with the vertical axis of the
instrument.
To check and adjust the optical/laser plummet:
1. Place the instrument on the tripod. You do not have to level the instrument.
2. Place a thick sheet of paper marked with an X on
the ground below the instrument.
While you are looking through the optical
plummet, adjust the leveling screws until the
image of the X is in the center of the reticle
mark .
For laser plummet, adjust the laser pointer to the
X.
3. Rotate the alidade 180°.
If the marked image is in the same position in the
center of the reticle mark, no adjustment is
required
For laser plummet, if the laser pointer is on the X,
no adjustment is required.

Zero Point Errors of Vertical Scale and Horizontal Angle Corrections
Checking
1. Set up the instrument on the tripod.
2. Follow the leveling procedures described in Leveling, page 15.
3. Flip the telescope to the Face-1 position.
4. Sight a target that is within 45° of the horizontal plane.
5. Read the vertical angle from the VA1 field in the Basic Measurement Screen
(BMS).
6. Rotate the instrument 180° and flip the telescope to the Face-2 position.
7. Read the vertical angle from the VA2 field.
8. Add the two vertical angles together, VA1 + VA2.
–No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA
zero setting) is set to Zenith, and VA1 + VA2 equals 360°.
–No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA
zero setting) is set to Horizon, and VA1 + VA2 is either 180° or 540°.
–An adjustment is required if VA1 + VA2 is not one of the values listed
above.
Note – The difference between the vertical angle reading the relevant angle (either
360° for Zenith, or 180° or 540° for Horizon) is called the altitude constant.

32 Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual
Adjusting
There are two steps in the calibration program. Usually you only complete the first
step that is described below, because the trunnion axis is finely adjusted mechanically.
To make a major adjustment to the trunnion axis error compensation, however, you
can complete the second step that is described below and make three sets of
observations.
To enter the calibration program, tap [Windows]
button to display the menu. Select [Program] to
show the sub-menu. Choose [Calibration].
First step
1. Take an F1 measurement to a target on the
horizon. Tap [OK] button.
The vertical angle is shown in the
V0 dir= Horiz setting.
If you sight a target that has a VA of more
than 3°, a warning message appears and
[OK] button becomes disabled.
To set the parameters for trunnion axis error compensation, establish
two targets at a horizontal distance of at least 30 m from the instrument.
The first target should be placed on the horizontal plane and the second
should be more than 30° above the horizontal plane. Before you set the
trunnion axis compensation value, you must complete three sets of
F1/F2 observations to these two points. Even if you complete the
second step, the instrument cannot store a trunnion axis error
compensation of more than 30". If the error is more than 30", the
instrument needs a mechanical check.

2. Take an F2 measurement to the same
target. Tap [OK].
When the observation on F2 is completed,
three parameters are displayed.
3. Do one of the following:
–To return to the first observation
screen, tap [Redo].
–To set parameters on the instrument,
tap [OK].
4. To go to the second step (trunnion axis
compensation), tap [Trun].

HA2 Face-2 horizontal angle (tilt-off value)
X2 Face-2 X axis tilt value
Y2 Face-2 Y axis tilt value
4 Checking and Adjustment
34 Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual
Second step
1. Sight the second target that is placed more
than 30 degrees above the horizontal
plane.
2. Tap [OK] to take angle measurements in
the following order:
–Face-2 to P2
–Face-1 to P2
–Face-1 to P1 (Horizontal)
–Face-2 to P1 (Horizontal)
–Face-2 to P2
–Face-1 to P2
–Face-1 to P1 (Horizontal)
–Face-2 to P1 (Horizontal)
–Face-2 to P2
–Face-1 to P2
If the HA corr. setting is set to OFF, the ACH parameter is not applied to
horizontal angle readings. If this setting is set to ON, both of the ACH
and trunnion-axis parameters are applied to HA. If you do not complete
the second step, the trunnion-axis parameter remains set to zero, and
only the ACH parameter is applied. If ACV, ACH, X, or Y is out of range,
OVER appears. Press any key to return to the first observation screen.
Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual 35
Checking and Adjustment 4
The tolerance in angle reading to each
direction is 10". To maintain the accuracy
of the instrument, you must take shots
with extreme care. If the dHA to the same
direction is more than 10", an error
message appears, and you must remeasure
all three sets of points.
After three sets of F1/F2 observations, the
instrument calculates the trunnion axis
parameter and the updated ACH (the
average of each set).
3. Do one of the following:
–To return to the measurement screen
for the first set of F1 measurements,
tap [Redo].
–To go to the next set of observations
for a more accurate result, tap [Cont.]. You can record up to ten sets.
–To store the parameter and return to the BMS, tap [End].
4. If HA corr. is set to OFF when you finish updating the trunnion axis parameter,
a message appears. The message asks if you want to change the setting. To
change the setting, tap [Yes].
4 Checking and Adjustment
36 Total Station Nivo Series Instruction Manual
Trunnion axis compensation
The trunnion axis error is reported when the vertical axis and the trunnion axis
(horizontal axis) are not perpendicular to each other. The sighting axis error is from
the sighting and the trunnion axes. These two errors can be compensated by applying
the Tr-axis and ACH parameters on this instrument to horizontal angle readings.
Because the amount of compensation changes according to the vertical angle, when
compensation is enabled there is a slight movement in horizontal angle even if you
clamp the tangent screw.

Checking and Adjustment 4
Checking the Instrument Constant
The instrument constant is a numerical value used to automatically correct for the
displacement between the mechanical and electrical centers when measuring
distances. The instrument constant is set by the manufacturer before the instrument is
shipped. However, to ensure the highest operational accuracy, we recommend that
you check the instrument constant several times a year.
To check the instrument constant, you can either compare a correctly measured base
line with the distance measured by the EDM, or follow the procedure below.
To check the instrument constant:
1. Set up the instrument at Point P, in as flat an area as possible.
2. Set up a reflector prism at Point Q, 100 m away from Point P. Make sure that
you take the prism constant into account.
3. Measure the distance between Point P and Point Q (PQ).
4. Install a reflector prism on the tripod at Point P.
5. Set up another tripod at Point R, on the line between Point P and Point Q.
6. Transfer the Nivo series instrument to the tripod at Point R.
7. Measure the distance from Point R to Point P (RP), and from Point R to
Point Q (RQ).
8. Calculate the difference between the value of PQ and the value of RP + RQ.
9. Move the Nivo series instrument to other points on the line between Point P
and Point Q.
10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 ten times or so.
11. Calculate the average of all the differences.
The error range is within 3 mm. If the error is out of range, contact your dealer.

Checking the Laser Pointer
The Nivo series total station uses a red laser beam to a laser pointer. The laser pointer
is coaxial with the line of sight of the telescope. If the instrument is well adjusted, the
red laser pointer coincides with the line of sight. External influences such as shock or
large temperature fluctuations can displace the red laser pointer relative to the line of
sight.
