STOP USING IT FOR CRITICAL WORK**   Do not continue simply because nothing appears broken.   ## **2. INSPECT THE EXTERIOR**   Look for obvious physical damage.   ## **3. CHECK THE TRIPOD**   The impact may also have affected the tripod or mounting system.   ## **4. CHECK BASIC OPERATION**   Observe:   **Bubble**   **Focus**   **Controls**   **Compensator Behaviour**   ## **5. PERFORM AN APPROPRIATE FIELD CHECK**   A two-peg test may help identify a possible line-of-sight issue.   ## **6. ARRANGE PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION IF NECESSARY**   Especially when important project elevations depend on the instrument.   ---   # What Is a Two-Peg Test?   A **two-peg test** is a common field method used to evaluate the line-of-sight condition of an automatic level.   A simplified procedure involves:   **Two Stable Points**   ↓   **Observation From Approximately Between Them**   ↓   **Reference Height Difference**   ↓   **Move Instrument Closer to One Point**   ↓   **Observe Again**   ↓   **Compare Results**   A questionable result can indicate that further checking or adjustment is required.   However:   ## **A BAD FIELD SETUP CAN ALSO PRODUCE A BAD TEST.**   Make sure the:   **Staff is vertical**   **Tripod is stable**   **Sight conditions are reasonable**   **Readings are recorded correctly**   before concluding that the instrument is defective.   ---   # Automatic Level Reading Wrong?   Before sending the instrument for adjustment, check whether the problem comes from somewhere else.   The complete levelling system includes:   ## **INSTRUMENT + TRIPOD + STAFF + BENCHMARK + OPERATOR + PROCEDURE**   Any one of these can create measurement problems.   ---   # Problem 1 – Wrong Benchmark   If you start from the wrong benchmark:   ## **EVERY CALCULATION AFTER IT CAN BE WRONG.**   Check:   **Benchmark ID**   **Benchmark RL**   **Project Datum**   **Benchmark Stability**   A calibration service cannot correct a wrong site reference.   ---   # Problem 2 – Staff Not Vertical   A tilted levelling staff can affect the observed reading.   Check staff handling especially during:   **Earthwork**   **Drainage**   **Excavation**   **Roadwork**   **Uneven Ground**   Do not immediately blame the automatic level.   ---   # Problem 3 – Damaged Levelling Staff   Inspect the staff for:   **Bent Sections**   **Loose Sections**   **Damaged Graduations**   **Poor Telescopic Locking**   **Physical Damage**   A professional automatic level paired with a damaged staff is still an unreliable measurement system.   ---   # Problem 4 – Unstable Tripod   Check:   **Tripod Leg Clamps**   **Tripod Head**   **Mounting Screw**   **Ground Stability**   **Vibration**   Heavy machinery can create problems on:   **Earthwork Sites**   **Road Projects**   **Factory Construction**   **Large Civil Projects**   ---   # Problem 5 – Parallax   If the crosshair appears to move relative to the staff when the observer changes eye position, parallax may still be present.   Correctly focus:   ## **EYEPIECE / CROSSHAIR FIRST**   then:   ## **TARGET / STAFF**   and confirm that the relative movement is removed.   ---   # Problem 6 – Heat Shimmer   Malaysia's hot outdoor conditions can make long staff observations appear unstable.   This is particularly noticeable over:   **Asphalt**   **Concrete**   **Bare Ground**   **Large Industrial Platforms**   Before assuming the instrument needs repair:   **Reduce Sight Distance**   **Move the Instrument**   **Repeat the Reading**   **Avoid Unnecessarily Long Low Sight Lines**   ---   # Problem 7 – Collimation Error   If the instrument's line of sight is not correctly related to the level reference established by the instrument, systematic errors may occur.   Balanced backsight and foresight distances can help reduce the effect of certain line-of-sight errors in levelling work.   If a field test indicates a persistent problem:   ## **PROFESSIONAL CHECKING IS RECOMMENDED.**   ---   # Problem 8 – Compensator Problem   Automatic levels use a compensator to establish a level line of sight after the instrument has been correctly set within its operating range.   Possible warning signs include:   **Unusual Image Behaviour**   **Inconsistent Results**   **Problems Following an Impact**   **Abnormal Settling Behaviour**   Do not randomly dismantle or adjust the compensator.   Arrange technical inspection.   ---   # Calibration vs Adjustment vs Repair   Customers frequently use the word:   ## **“CALIBRATION”**   for every instrument problem.   But different conditions may require different work.   ### **Checking**   Determines the instrument's current condition.   ### **Calibration**   Evaluates measurement performance according to the applicable service scope and provides the relevant documentation where required.   ### **Adjustment**   Corrects an instrument condition where appropriate.   ### **Repair**   Addresses mechanical, optical or other technical faults.   A good service process begins with:   ## **IDENTIFY THE ACTUAL PROBLEM FIRST.**   ---   # Do Not Randomly Adjust an Automatic Level   Some users attempt to correct an instrument by turning adjustment screws themselves.   This can create additional errors.   Unless you are properly trained and following the correct technical procedure:   ## **DO NOT RANDOMLY ADJUST THE INSTRUMENT.**   Professional checking can determine whether adjustment is actually required.   ---   # How Often Should an Automatic Level Be Calibrated?   There is no universal interval suitable for every company and every project.   Consider:   **Frequency of Use**   **Site Conditions**   **Transport**   **Instrument History**   **QA/QC System**   **Client Requirements**   **Project Requirements**   A contractor using an automatic level every day may have different requirements from a company using one occasionally.   Follow the relevant company and project quality procedures.   ---   # Calibration Before a Major Project   Checking surveying equipment before deployment can be valuable for projects such as:   **Factory Construction**   **Data Centre Civil Works**   **Infrastructure**   **Road Projects**   **Large Earthwork**   **Industrial Development**   **Major Building Projects**   Why?   Because an undetected measurement problem can affect multiple downstream construction activities.   ---   # Calibration After a Major Project   Heavy site use can expose equipment to:   **Dust**   **Heat**   **Rain**   **Transport**   **Vibration**   **Repeated Setup**   **Accidental Impact**   A post-project check may be useful before the instrument is assigned to the next major job, depending on your quality system and instrument condition.   ---   # Automatic Level Repair or Replacement?   Do not automatically throw away an older instrument.   Compare:   **Instrument Condition**   **Repair Cost**   **Parts Availability**   **Replacement Cost**   **Required Reliability**   **Usage Frequency**   **Project Importance**   If repair is practical:   ## **SERVICE MAY EXTEND THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE INSTRUMENT.**   If repair becomes uneconomical, replacement may be the better decision.   ---   # Need a Replacement Automatic Level?   If your existing automatic level is no longer economical to repair, MTM Precision can also assist with replacement options.   Professional models can include:   ## **Sokkia B40A**   ## **Topcon AT-B4A**   ## **Topcon AT-B2**   ## **Myzox CL-28**   ## **Myzox CL-36**   The correct choice depends on:   **Application**   **Magnification**   **Accuracy Requirement**   **Budget**   **Frequency of Use**   ---   # Automatic Level Complete Set   For customers buying a replacement instrument, consider the complete working system:   ## **AUTOMATIC LEVEL**   +   ## **5m LEVELLING STAFF**   +   ## **SURVEY TRIPOD**   Do not automatically reuse damaged accessories with a new instrument.   Inspect the staff and tripod as well.   ---   # Why Local Service Support Matters   A surveying instrument is not only a one-time purchase.   Over its working life, you may need:   **Technical Advice**   **Checking**   **Calibration**   **Repair**   **Accessories**   **Replacement**   For professional contractors:   ## **AFTER-SALES SUPPORT IS PART OF THE INSTRUMENT VALUE.**   This is especially important for equipment used continuously on construction sites.   ---   # Automatic Level Service in Selangor   MTM Precision's **Showroom & Service Centre is located in Puchong, Selangor**.   This provides a convenient service point for customers around:   **Puchong**   **Petaling Jaya**   **Shah Alam**   **Subang Jaya**   **Klang**   **Cyberjaya**   **Putrajaya**   and surrounding areas.   Customers can contact MTM Precision before sending equipment to confirm the appropriate service arrangement.   ---   # Automatic Level Service Kuala Lumpur   Contractors and survey companies operating around Kuala Lumpur can contact MTM Precision's Puchong Service Centre for surveying instrument service enquiries.   Common applications include instruments used for:   **Building Construction**   **Civil Engineering**   **Infrastructure**   **Drainage**   **Roadwork**   **Industrial Projects**   ---   # Automatic Level Calibration Johor   MTM Precision also supports enquiries from customers in:   **Johor Bahru**   **Iskandar Puteri**   **Pasir Gudang**   **Kulai**   **Senai**   **Pengerang**   **Batu Pahat**   **Kluang**   Johor contractors may use automatic levels extensively for:   **Factory Construction**   **Data Centre Civil Works**   **Warehouse Projects**   **Earthwork**   **Roadwork**   **Drainage**   **Infrastructure**   Contact MTM Precision to discuss service arrangements before sending the instrument.   ---   # Automatic Level Calibration Penang   Service enquiries are also welcome from:   **Bayan Lepas**   **Batu Kawan**   **Perai**   **Butterworth**   **Bukit Mertajam**   **Simpang Ampat**   Penang customers may require support for instruments used in:   **Factory Expansion**   **Industrial Construction**   **Warehouse Projects**   **Foundation**   **Earthwork**   **Drainage**   **External Civil Works**   Provide the instrument brand, model and problem when requesting service.   ---   # What Information Should You Send MTM Precision?
