Maptek Scanner Operator Manual - XR3
Tripod setup
When you are ready to go into the field and acquire scan data, ensure that
you have all the required system parts:
·
Scanner
·
Controller
·
Scanner batteries
·
Tribrach (and tripod, if required)
1. Set up the tripod at the desired location. If site survey control is
being used, set up over the required point location.
2. Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture.
Note: The higher the tripod is set up, the better ground range that
will be obtained. Set up the tripod so the tripod plate is as horizontal
as possible. Push the tripod legs firmly into the ground.
3. Place the tribrach on the tripod and secure it with the central fixing
screw.
4. Use the optical plummet to ensure it is centred over the survey point
if required.
5. Level the tribrach adapter clamp using the circular level. Turn two of
the foot screws together in opposite directions. The index finger of
your right-hand indicates the direction in which the bubble will move.
Use the third foot screw to centre the bubble.
6. Place the scanner on the tribrach using the lower two handles and
turn the locking lever to secure the scanner.
