The tribrach adapter has a height adjustment adapter. To use the prism reflector with
the N Series/K Series instrument or other Nikon Total Stations except Nivo series
instrument, attach the height adjustment adapter to the tribrach adaper as shown in the
figure below.
The height adjustment adapter will be removed when used with the Nivo series

The prism mounted on the tribrach adapter can be rotated to face in any direction.
To change the direction of the prism:
1. Release the rotation clamp. To do this, turn
the clamp lever counterclockwise.
2. Turn the upper plate of the tribrach adapter
until the prism is facing in the required
direction.
3. Fasten the rotation clamp. To do this, turn the
clamp lever clockwise.
Setting the prism constant
1. Attach the prism to the single prism holder or triple prism holder.

Tip – To use a triple prism holder as a single prism holder, attach the prism to the center thread
of the prism holder.
2. Set the prism constant. To do this, hold down
[MSR1] or [MSR2] for one second. For more
information, see Measurement settings, page 51.
Note – The prism constant of a Nikon prism is always
0, whether it is attached to a single prism holder or a
triple prism holder.
If your prism constant is not 0 mm, then directly enter the prism constant value in the Const field. For example,
if your prism constant is 30 mm, enter 30mm in the Const field on the instrument.
