Backsight/Foresight/Intermediate sightFor determining the heightdifference (∆H) between theground points A and B the backsight (R) is measured firstfollowed by the forward sight(V). Additional points relating toA are measured as intermediatesight (S).

Plumb line

By centring the circular level theinstrument is almost level.A small instrument tilt remains(the vertical axis tilt).

Compensator

The compensator in theinstrument is responsible forcompensating the vertical axistilt enabling an exactly horizontalaiming.The push button gives thependulum a slight tap to check thefunctioning of the compensator.

When setting up thetripod pay attention to ahorizontal position of thetripod plate.

Large inclinations of the tripodmust be corrected with thefootscrews of the tribrach.

Setting up the tripod

1. Loosen screws of tripod legs,pull out to required length andtighten screws.

2. In order to guarantee a firmfoothold sufficiently press thetripod legs into the ground.When pressing the legs intothe ground note that the forcemust be applied along thelegs.

Careful handling of tripod

• Check all screws and boltsfor correct fit.

• During transport always usethe cover supplied.Scratches and otherdamages can result in poorfit and measuringinaccuracies.

• Use the tripod only forsurveying jobs.

3. Aim telescope on staff usingthe coarse aiming device.

4. Turn focusing knob untilimage of staff is sharplyfocused. If the eye is movedup and down behind theeyepiece the image of thestaff and the reticule shouldnot move relative to eachother.

For centring over a groundpoint:1. Attach plumb bob.2. Loosen central fixing screw

storage/transport of yourequipment check the fieldadjustment parameters specifiedin this User Manual.

Reduce possiblevibrations by holding the

tripod legs.

If the optical parts of yourinstrument are dirty of

fogged, your measurements canbe affected. Keep clean all opticalparts of your instrument andfollow the cleaning instructionsspecified in the User Manual.

Before starting work, letthe instrument adjust to

the ambient temperature(approximately 2 minutes per ºCof temperature difference).

1. Setup instrument, level andsharp-focus the reticule.

2. Setup level staff vertically(refer also to InstructionManual of staff).

3. Roughly aim on staff usingthe coarse aiming device.

4. Sharp-focus using thefocusing knob.

The required accuracy isusually not very high

with such measurements.Nevertheless, from time to timeread the staff on a stableintermediate point (reading mustremain the same).

Procedure:1. Set up instrument centrally

between the desired points.The instrument telescopemay not be below the highestmeasured intermediate point.

2. Set up staff vertically atreference point A.

3. Aim at staff and read andtake down height (=backsightto known point).

4. Set up staff vertically atpoint 1.

carried out during area levelling.

Levelling total station measuring

Procedure:1. Sequence of measurements

is the same as with arealevelling. However, beside theheight read also the staffsection L (see chapter"Distance measuring") andthe Hz-angle.

2. Transfer measured value intothe map - points aredetermined by position andheight.

Levelled stakeout

The stakeout is the counterpartto the levelling total stationmeasuring - map points are setout in the field.

Procedure:1. Set up instrument at a known

point, centre and level up.2. Focus instrument and aim on

known orientation point.3. Orient horizontal circle (Hz-

direction).4. Move staff to stakeout point

on the basis of known values(distance and Hz-angle,height) and stakeout point

Project:Height difference of very highaccuracy.

Use the GPM3 parallelplate micrometer and

invar levelling staffs.

In sloping terrain, thelower part of the staff

should not be used, asrefraction close to the groundcan cause errors.

In sunny weather anumbrella should be used

to shelter the instrument toensure that the level isprotected from the glare of thesun.

Precise levelling

Procedure:1. Sequence of measurements

is the same as with linelevelling. However, the bestobserving length is approx.25m.

2. When reading the staff, turnthe micrometer knob until agraduation line is centredbetween the wedge-shapedhairs of the reticle.

3. Centimetres are read fromthe staff and millimetres fromthe micrometer scale.

4. Leica invar staffs have twosets of graduations. Theseare read alternativelybetween foresight andbacksight. This provides twoindependent results andserves as a check.

Example above:Staff reading = 77 cmGPM3 reading = 0.556 cmHeight = 77.556 cm

AccessoriesGPM3 Parallel-Plate Micrometer(Art. No. 356 121)1 Micrometer knob2 Open sight3 Housing of parallel plate4 Knob for locking GPM3 in

positionFor precise levelling the GPM3 isfitted onto the NA2 telescopeobjective and locked in positionwith the knob (4).By turning the micrometer knobthe parallel-sided glass plate istilted, thereby causing the line ofsight to be raised or lowered. Therange of displacement is 10mm.On the scale, seen in the GPM3'seyepiece, the amount ofdisplacement is read directly to0.1mm and estimated to 0.01mm.
