Various Parts Of Theodolite Plate Level:

Plate Level Is Use to Check weather Theodolite Is leveled at that position or not.

Spherical Level:
Like Auto Level, There is spherical level in theodolite first we level the spherical level then we level plate level at three different positions.

Objective Lens:
The front lens of telescope is called objective level.

Vertical Display:
There is a digital display in Theodolite on which readings are written.

Optical Plummet:
There is a other optical lens, this Optical Plummet is use to centered the theodolite and tripod stand according to Bench Mark (B.M).

Foot Screws:
These screws are used to level the instrument. There are three foot screws. Two foot screws move at same time and the other one move alone.

Horizontal & Vertical Tangent Screw:

Theodolite can move in horizontal and vertical direction. These screws can move the cross heirs in vertical and horizontal direction.

Horizontal & Vertical Clap knob:

These are used to fix the telescope of the instrument in vertical and horizontal direction when we target the object and want to take the readings then we fix it by knobs after doing that telescope cannot be moved and we can take the readings precisely.

Collimator:
This is used to locate the object; there is a triangle in it.

Power Button:
This is the power button for the digital Display of theodolite, use to turn on and turn off digital display.

Eye Piece:
This is the lens where we see in the telescope. This use for sharpen the cross hires

Telescope Focusing Ring:

This is use to focus the object and clearify the image.

Setting up the Theodolite:

The Theodolite is mounted on a tripod. First, extend the tripod legs, splay them fully and push the ends firmly into the ground. Next look at the Theodolite mounting platform. This should be reasonably level and not too high nor too low for the users. Adjust the leg lengths until it is right then screw the theodolite onto the platform. We set the theodolite up over a reference point on the ground. we you can use the sight (F) on the front of the instrument to view the point and adjust the theodolites position by slightly unscrewing the mounting screw and moving the theodolite sideways. Alternatively, you can ask a helper to push a nail or peg into the ground under your guidance to fix a new reference point.

Levelling the Theodolite:

There are 3 levelling screws (labeled A, B and C) at the base of the instrument. These should be used with the round spirit level to obtain a coarse adjustment. When this is done, line the long spirit level with 2 of the levelling screws and make the first fine adjustment. Then turn the theodolite through 90 degrees so the long spirit level is pointing at the 3rd levelling screw and adjust that until it is level. Recheck the fine adjustment if necessary. If there is not enough adjustment in the levelling screws, then the theodolite table is not level enough and you will have to adjust the leg heights until it is.
