If displaying ‗Tilt over!‘ in the ‗Vz‘ column, it indicates that the

Our series total station can correct the error of the vertical
angle reading caused by the tilt on the direction of X axis
and Y axis;

When the instrument is under unstable condition or in a
windy day , you should close the compensator ,because the
