ScanStation P16, Setting Up the Instrument
1. Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture. Tighten the
screws at the bottom of the legs.
2. Place the tribrach on the tripod and secure it with the central fixing screw.
3. Set up the tripod so that the tripod plate is as horizontal as possible.
4. Push the tripod legs firmly into the ground.
5. Place the instrument on the tribrach and secure it with the locking knob of the
tribrach.
6. Level up the instrument using the instrument’s circular level. Turn two of the foot
screws together in opposite directions. The index finger of your right hand indi-
cates the direction in which the bubble should move. Now use the third foot
screw to centre the bubble.
