Stonex R180 – User Manual 16
Clicking on Tilt Compensator, it is possible to activate/deactivate the electronic compensator. This
function is very important to compensate the not perfect leveling up of the instrument, that could
bring errors in VA/HA readings. The enabling of this function allows to correct leveling up errors and
improve the quality of the readings.
There are two different options for this function:
a. OFF -> Electronic compensator not activated.
b. XY -> Electronic compensator activated in X and Y directions.
When the instrument is in operation, if the XY tilt compensation is on, the instrument will
compensate and correct the VA and HA readings.
Enabling the option “Show Compensator when tilt is Over Range”, Cube-a displays a message when
the instrument is not levelled, like in the image below, and returns in the electronical bubble page.
Note. To avoid accidental tilting of the instrument which may affect the measurement accuracy, it is
recommended that the user always switches on the Double Axis compensation option during normal
operation.
4. Centering with laser plummet
The centering operation is necessary to align total station vertical axis to reference station point. To
make easier this operation, it is possible to activate the instrument laser plummet. In electronical
bubble page of Cube-a, the option Laser Plummet can enable/disable, as visible in the image below.
