1.5 m (±0.1 m) (4.920 ft (±0.328 ft)), see Figure 4-50

the optical plummet in relation to the

Caution – When adjusting the optical plummet with the four adjustment screws it is impor-
tant that the screws are correctly adjusted. When one screw is adjusted the opposite
screw must be adjusted equa
lly in the reverse direction, in order to keep the correct ten-
sion on the optics. Do not overtighten the screws, this might damage the optics.
