Komponen Utama:
- Teleskop: The main optical component for viewmenangkap objek yang jauh.
- Lensa Objektif: The front lens of the telescope.
- Lensa mata: The rear lens of the telescope, where the user looks.
- Tombol Fokus: Adjusts the clarity of the image in the telescope.
- Circular Bubble Level: Used for coarse leveling of the instrument.
- Leveling Screws (Foot Screws): Tiga sekrup pada tribrach untuk perataan yang presisi.
- Lingkaran Horizontal: Graduated scale for measuring horizontal angles.
- Fine Motion Knobs: For precise horizontal rotation of the instrument.
- Kompensator: An internal mechanism that automatically levels the line of sight once the instrument is roughly leveled.
5. Pengaturan
Follow these steps for the initial setup of your Sndway SW-32B Automatic Level:
- Pemasangan di Tripod: Securely attach the automatic level to a sturdy tripod. Ensure the tripod legs are spread wide for stability and the tripod head is roughly level.
- Coarse Leveling: Adjust the tripod legs to bring the circular bubble level roughly to the center.
- Penyetelan Level Halus: Use the three leveling screws (foot screws) on the instrument's base to precisely center the circular bubble. Turn two screws simultaneously in opposite directions to move the bubble, then use the third screw to complete the centering. The internal compensator will then automatically fine-level the line of sight.
- Focusing the Reticle: Look through the eyepiece and turn the eyepiece focusing ring until the crosshairs (reticle) are sharp and clear.
- Focusing on Target: Point the telescope towards a leveling staff or target. Turn the main focusing knob until the target appears sharp and clear.
6. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
Once the instrument is set up and leveled, you can begin taking measurements:
- Mengambil Bacaan: Look through the eyepiece and align the crosshairs with the leveling staff. Read the value indicated by the horizontal crosshair on the staff. This is your staff reading.
- Measuring Horizontal Angles (Optional): If measuring angles, rotate the instrument using the fine motion knobs to align the vertical crosshair with your first target. Read the value on the horizontal circle. Rotate to your second target and read the new value. The difference between the two readings is the horizontal angle.
- Checking Level: Periodically check the circular bubble level to ensure the instrument remains roughly level, allowing the compensator to function correctly.
7. Pemeliharaan
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Sndway SW-32B Automatic Level:
- Membersihkan Lensa: Use a soft, clean lens brush to remove dust from the objective and eyepiece lenses. For smudges, use a lens cleaning solution and a specialized lens cloth. Do not touch the lenses with your fingers.
- Pembersihan Tubuh: Wipe the instrument's body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Penyimpanan: Always store the level in its protective carrying case when not in use. Ensure the case is closed securely. Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
- Pemeriksaan Kalibrasi: Regularly check the instrument's calibration (e.g., two-peg test) to ensure accuracy. If adjustments are needed, refer to advanced calibration guides or contact a qualified technician.
- Angkutan: When transporting the instrument, especially over rough terrain, ensure it is securely packed in its case to prevent shocks and vibrations.
