Stonex R20 – User Manual 70
Determine the HZ-collimation:
1. Set up the tripod and instrument stable.
2. Power on the instrument. Precisely level the instrument under the electronic level indication of {Level &
Plummet}.
3. In face I, accurately aim at a target about 100m away whose height was similar as the instrument. Record
the HA
L
.
4. Turn to face II, accurately aim at the same target again. Record the HA
R
.
5. Calculate the horizontal collimation error C:
𝐶 =

V-index
When the VA (Zenith 0) is 90°0′0″, ideally the CA should be precisely perpendicular to the SA. And the actual
deviation that exists is the V-index (i).
1. Set up the tripod and instrument stable.
2. Power on the instrument. Precisely level the instrument under the electronic level indication of
{Level & Plummet}.
