PROCEDURES 1. A peg test has been performed to check the instrument. 2. The results of the peg test recorded by each person in the group in their own field book. 3. Set out and marked on the group two points some 30m apart.(with wooden pegs driven into the earth, 4. 5. 6. 7.

or roofing nails in tar) Set up instrument midway between two pegs. On each peg, staff read and calculated the height of difference. Instrument moved about L/30=3m beyond one of the pegs (normally for staff position) Again on each staff read and calculated the height of difference.

Distance = 30m
First set up
Reading Staff (S1) 1.219
Reading Staff A (S2) 1.658

Height difference = m’ 0.434
First set up
Reading Staff (S1) 1.019

Height difference = m 0.859
Second set up
Reading Staff B (S1’) 1.749
Reading Staff (S2’) 2.609
Height difference = m’ 0.86
Distance = 60m
Value e
Difference (m – m’)/L
30m - 0.0002
1. If m = m’ then the instrument is OK!
60m 0.00002

2. If NOT then the error is e = (S1 – S2) – (S1’ – S2’) / L mm/m The error is called collimation error. 3. Acceptable error: 1mm per 20
Example Distance = 30m e = [Reading Staff (S1) - Reading Staff A (S2)] – [Reading Staff B (S1’) - Reading Staff (S2’)] / L = (1.219 - 1.658) – (1.474 - 1.908) / 30 = - 0.0002

DISCUSSION
From time to time, the leveling equipment has to be tested to make sure that the equipment had no damaged that will cause’s error in reading data; it is important especially if the equipment collapse or endure vibration on the journey. The allowable determined value must be less than 0.005m (
