14. 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 P About 100 m Q To check the instrument constant 1 Setup the instrument at Point P in as flat an area as possible 2 Setup a reflector prism at Point Q 100 m away from Point P Make sure that you take the prism constant into account Measure the distance between Point P and Point Q PQ Install a reflector prism on the tripod at Point P Set up another tripod at Point R on the line between Point P and Point Q Transfer the Nivo series instrument to the tripod at Point R OY cono imo og Measure the distance from Point R to Point P RP and from Point R to Point Q RQ Calculate the difference between the value of PQ and the value of RP RQ 99 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 ofall the differences T
