∆
Anti-clockwise range 20
∆
Graduation ± 1
∆
Chin-rest height Adjustable range from 71mm to 133mm from
chinrest to eyepiece centres bottom datum
∆
Prism dioptre equivalent correction at the patient’s eye. The actual linear tolerance will depend on the optical path
length of the occular arms.
Adjustment tolerence Accuracy
Interpupillary distance setting ±0,5mm
Lateral alignment of targets at zero setting ±0.5˚ or 1 dioptre
∆
Vertical alignment of targets at zero setting ±0.125˚ or ±0,25 dioptre
∆
Torsional alignment of targets at zero setting ±0.5˚
Alignment of targets throughout the horizontal
movement range with both arms locked together
Vertically ±10˚
Laterally ±0.5˚
Torsionally ±10˚
∆
The tolerances given are expressed in degrees when the scale is graduated in degrees, and in prism dioptres when
graduated in prism dioptres.
