SA = Standing axis Vertical rotation axis of the telescope. KA = Tilting axis Horizontal rotation axis of the telescope (Trunion axis). V = Vertical angle / zenith angle VK = Vertical circle With coded circular division for reading the V-angle. Hz = Horizontal direction TC400Z3 HK = Horizontal circle With coded circular division for reading the Hzangle. Introduction 11 TPS400-2.1.0en Standing axis inclination Angle between plumb line and standing axis. Standing axis tilt is not an product error and is not eliminated by measuring in both faces. Any possible influence it may have on the Hz-direction resp. V-angle is elliminated by the dual axis compensator. Line-of-sight error (Hz-collimation) The line-of-sight error is the deviation from the perpendicular between tilting axis and line-ofsight. This could be eleminated by measuring in both faces. V-Index (Vertical index error) With horizontal line-of-sight the Vcircle reading should be exactly 90°(100gon). The deviation from this values is termed V-index (i). Plumb line / Compensator Direction of gravity. The compensator defines the plumb line within the product. Zenith Point on the plumb line above the observer. Reticle Glass plate within the telescope with reticle.
