To permanently adjust a theodolite, follow these steps:
1. Set up the theodolite on a stable and level surface.
2. Level the theodolite using the built-in bubble level.
3. Center the crosshairs on a target or point of reference.
4. Rotate the theodolite 180 degrees and center the crosshairs on the same target.
5. If the crosshairs do not align with the target, adjust the horizontal and vertical screws until they do.
6. Repeat this process several times to ensure accuracy.
7. Once the crosshairs consistently align with the target, the theodolite is permanently adjusted.
It is recommended to periodically check and readjust the theodolite to ensure accuracy over time.

Permanent Adjustments of the Theodolite
The permanent adjustments of a theodolite ensure that the instrument is in perfect alignment and can provide accurate measurements. These adjustments should only be performed by a qualified technician or surveyor.
1. Adjustment of the Line of Collimation (LOC)
- The line of collimation is the imaginary line that passes through the optical center of the telescope and the intersection of the crosshairs.
- To adjust the LOC, set up the theodolite on a stable surface and sight a distant target.
- Use the vertical circle vernier to set the vertical angle to 0°, then use the horizontal circle vernier to set the horizontal angle to 0°.
- Check if the crosshairs intersect the target at the center. If not, adjust the screws on the telescope mounting to align the LOC.
2. Adjustment of the Horizontal Axis (HA)
- The HA is the axis around which the telescope rotates horizontally.
- To adjust the HA, set up the theodolite and sight a target in the center of the field of view.
- Turn the telescope 180° and sight the same target. If the crosshairs are not still centered, adjust the level on the HA to level it.
3. Adjustment of the Vertical Axis (VA)
- The VA is the axis around which the telescope rotates vertically.
- To adjust the VA, set up the theodolite and sight a target.
- Use the horizontal circle vernier to set the horizontal angle to 0°, then use the vertical circle vernier to set the vertical angle to 90°.
- Reverse the telescope and check if the crosshairs intersect the target at the center. If not, adjust the level on the VA to level it.
4. Adjustment of the Plate Bubble
- The plate bubble is a level used to ensure that the horizontal circle is level.
- To adjust the plate bubble, set up the theodolite and rotate the horizontal circle until the bubble is centered.
- Use the adjusting screws on the plate bubble to center the bubble in both the X and Y directions.
5. Adjustment of the Eyepiece
- The eyepiece should be adjusted to the user's eyesight for clear viewing of the crosshairs.
- Looking through the eyepiece, adjust the focus ring until the crosshairs appear sharp.
- If necessary, adjust the diopter ring to correct for any eyesight differences.
Note: These adjustments should be performed in sequence and should be checked and re-adjusted periodically to ensure the theodolite's accuracy.
