FUNCTIONS/APPLICATIONS

Optical levels 24X / 32X / Spektra 32 CONDTROL are professional measuring instruments. They are equipped with a compensator with a magnetic damping system with working range ± 15‘. It allows to quickly and correctly make high- precision measurements. CONDTROL optical levels have 24x* and 32x** magnification telescope with coated optics, which significantly improves visibility and makes aiming to remote objects easier. They have a horizontal limb with a 1° graduation marks and lifting screws, as well as an optical sight on the telescope for convenient target search.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DELIVERY PACKAGE

1. Optical level – 1 pc.
2. 2-mm hex wrench – 1 pc.
3. Adjusting pin – 1 pc.
4. User manual – 1 pc.
5. Hard case – 1 pc.

OPERATION

Instrument set-up and leveling

1. Set desired height of the tripod and place it on the ground. Use the attachment screw to tightly fix the optical level on the tripod (Figure 2).
2. Rotate the lifting screws A, B, C to install the bubble vial in the center. By rotating the A and B screws simultaneously, move the bubble to the right. Rotation of the screw C will move the bubble back (Figure 3).

Aiming and focusing

1. Grid:
   Point the telescope on a bright surface or leveling staff, using the sight. Rotate the eyepiece until you achieve a clear and bright image of the grid.

2. Aiming:
   Rotate the focusing screw forward to focus on the staff standing at longer distance or back to focus on the staff standing at closer distance until a clear image appears on the screen. Rotate the horizontal drive screw to position the image of the staff at the center of the field of view.

Measurements

1. Exceedence:
   After pointing on the staff take the readings of the middle line, as shown on Figure 4. (the reading is 1.195 m).

2. Distance:
   Take the readings of the upper and bottom stadia lines. Distance between the instrument and the staff will be the following:
   (Reading of the upper line – reading of the bottom line) х100, As shown on the Figure 4: (1.352 m – 1.038 m) х 100 = 31.4 m

3. Angle:
   Point the vertical line of the grid to the target A and take the angle reading α on the limb. Point to the target B and take the angle reading β on the limb. The angle between A and B will be – α – β (Figure 5).

ACCURACY CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

Despite the fact that all optical levels with compensator are adjusted at the factory, it is necessary to carry out accuracy check before use.

Checking the circular bubble vial

1. Adjust the lifting screws to center the bubble vial and rotate the telescope by 180°. The bubble vial should remain in the center (Figure 6).
2. If the bubble vial is not in the center, it is necessary to perform adjustment.
3. Rotate the lifting screws to move the bubble vial halfway to the center (Figure 7).
4. Turn 2 adjusting screws to adjust the position of the bubble vial (Figure 7).
5. Repeat steps from A to D until the bubble vial doesn’t deviate from the center (Figure 8).

Check the position of the sighting axis

1. Set leveling staffs А and В at distance 50 m from each other. Set the instrument right in the middle between the staffs. Level the instrument and take the readings on the staffs А and B accordingly. Exceedence between them dh = a1-b1 (Figure 9)
2. Move the instrument and set it at distance 1-2 m from the staff A (Figure 10). Level the instrument and take the readings а2 and b2 on the staffs А and В accordingly. If I(a2-b2) – (a1-b1)I < 3 mm, further adjustment is not needed.

Otherwise, you perform the following actions : Aim the instrument at the staff B and remove the eyepiece cover (Figure 11).

Using the adjusting pin turn the adjusting screw (Figure 12), until the reading b3 on the staff B becomes b3=a2-dh.

Repeat all of the above steps until the result satisfies the conditions: |(a2-b2)-(a1-b1)| ≤ 3 mm.

CARE AND MAINTETANCE

Attention! This device is a precision instrument and requires careful handling. Maintenance of the following recommendations will extend the life of the instrument

• Store and transport the instrument and its accessories only in the hard case included in the delivery package.
• Protect the instrument from bumps, falling and intense vibration, as it can lead to loss of accuracy.

• Protect the instrument from moisture, as well as exposure to direct sunlight.
• There is a bag with a moisture absorber inside the hard case. Replace it regularly.
• Clean the instrument with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
• Do not touch the lens of the objective and eyepiece. Wipe the optical surfaces with a soft cloth regularly.
• After working with the instrument, wipe it dry and put it back in the hard case.
