How To Use / Operate Theodolite

INTRODUCTION THEODOLITE
Theodolite / theodolite is an instrument of civil engineering buildings designed for the measurement of
the angle is called the horizontal angle with the horizontal angle and vertical angle is called the vertical
angle. Where the angle - the angle plays a role in determining the horizontal distance and vertical
distance between two points field.

CONSTRUCTION THEODOLITE
Construction theodolite instrument is basically divided into three sections, see figure below:

Specification:
Bottom, consisting of a base plate with three screws tuner that invalidates a tube axis and horizontal
circular plate. At the edge of this circle is made lock the limbus.
Central part, consisting of an axis that is inserted into the tube and placed on the bottom. This axis is the
axis perpendicular to unity. Placed above the axis of unity again a circular plate having a circular finger finger on the bottom plate. In two places at the edge of the circle made Nonius reader. On top of this
Nonius plate placed 2 feet into the buffer or the horizontal axis and the second axis sutu nivo tube is
placed to create unity axis perpendicular. Circle made of glass with a line - a line division scale and
numbers etched on its surface. Line - the line is very thin and clearer sharper when compared to the
results of scratches on the metal. The circle is divided into sexagesimal degrees is a full circle is divided
into 360 or in grades senticimal ie a full circle is divided into 400 g.
Upper part, consisting of a second axis that is placed on the foot buffer second axis. In the second axis is
placed a pair of binoculars that have a diaphragm and thus has the crosshairs. On this axis also placed
upright circular plate as a horizontal circular plate.
AXIS SYSTEM / SHAFT IN THEODOLITE

TERMS - CONDITIONS THEODOLITE

Terms - the main requirements that must be met so that the theodolite tool set used to correct
measurement is as follows:
1. The first axis is true - true upright / vertical.
2. The second axis - should be flat.
3. The crosshairs should be perpendicular to the second axis / horizontal.
4. The absence of any index on the first circle.
TYPE - TYPE theodolites
Of construction and measurement, known three kinds theodolite:
1.Theodolite Reiterasi
In theodolite reiterasi, circular plate scale (horizontal) becomes one with the circle Nonius plate and
tube axis at kiap.
So that the horizontal circle is fixed. In this type there is a locking screw plate Nonius.

Repetition theodolite
In theodolite reps, horizontal scale circular plate is placed such that it can rotate plate itself with the
tube axis as the axis of rotation.
In this type there is a locking screw and screw Nonius horizontal circle.

Electro Optical Theodolite

Of mechanical construction systems circle arrangement angle between the optical theodolite with
electro-optical theodolite same. However microscope circle scale readings are not using the system of
lenses and prisms again, but using the sensor system. The sensor works as an electro optical model
(electromagnetic wave receivers). The first results analogdan system must then be transferred to a
digital number system. Counting process is automatically displayed on the screen (LCD) in decimal
numbers.

HOW TO OPERATION / USE THEODOLITE

Preparation Tool Theodolite
How to preparation work theodolite tool include:
1. Loosen the locking screw extension
2. Elevate breast height
3. Tighten the locking screw extension

4. Create a stative foot equilateral triangular

5. Strengthen (stomp) foot pedal stative
6. Rearrange the height stative so tribar flat plate
7. Place the theodolite in tribar plate
8. Tighten the locking screw centering to theodolite
9. Set (levelkan) nivo box so that the axis of unity totally upright / vertical with screws uniformly moving
pendatar / kiap on three sides of the measuring instrument.
10. Set (levelkan) nivo tube so that the second axis completely flat with a uniformly moving screw
pendatar / kiap on three sides of the measuring instrument.
11. Position the theodolite to loosen the locking screw centering and slide left or to right so right in the
middle of titi belt (BM), seen from the optical centering.
12. Perform the test position the crosshairs with the help of the T mark on the wall.
13. Double-check the accuracy of the index value on system scale circle with a reading nook and corner
of the outstanding ordinary to determine the value of the index error.
