illumination at the location at night. The Landolt ring is drawn on the shield of
thick cardboard (or thin plywood). The colour of the shield is white, the colour
of the ring is black.
The methods of illumination measuring includes the following:
– the illumination readings are taken every 5 minutes;
– the measures are carried out by two people – one is an operator, the other
is an observer. The observer’s position is at the place of testing. The operator
with the Landolt ring goes away from the observer in the direction of the target
for 5 – 20 m, then the operator turns in the direction of the observer. The
operator rotates the shield around the ring axis and stops it;
– the observer must define the direction of the open space in the ring. If the
observer defined it correctly, the operator goes further away from the observer.
If the observer made a mistake, the operator comes closer. The testing is carried
out again;
– the longest distance, at which the observer defined the direction of the
open space in the ring correctly, is defined. Then the illumination corresponding
the given distance is defined according to the chart in the Figure A.8.

2.8 If some bright glowing objects come into the field of view, it is necessary
to switch the sighting device off by turning the handle 2 (Figure A.3) to the
position marked by the red point.
2.9 Switch the sighting device off after finishing work.
2.0 Be sure if the sighting device 4 (Figure A.0), the angle measuring device 2,
the tripod 3 and the STA kit are put and fastened in the case correctly.
2. Do not connect the sighting device to other power supplies except the
accumulators 4 (Figure A.9), elements 2 or 3.
2.2 Do not place the sighting device near the sources of magnetic fields.
2.3 It is recommended to remove the accumulators from the sighting device
and from the illuminator and keep them in the pocket of the uniform before
and after working with the device. It is done in order to prevent accidental
switching on the power supply. When the temperatures are below zero, it also
allows to extend the time of the accumulators operation.
3.. While working with the sighting device under the conditions which
require the high degree of camouflage, fix the Eye shield 2 (Figure A.9) on it,
for that do the following:
– take the clamp 6 (Figure A.3) off the eye shield 7;

the cup of the cap (Figure A.3);
– screw the cap up;
– switch on the sighting device, check the brightness of the IIT screen and
switch the sighting device off.
Replace the power supply of the illuminator shown in the figure A.5 in the
same way.

4
3..3 It is recommended to take the tripod 5 (Figure A.2) from the soft cover 7
(Figure A.9) and put the tripod and the soft cover into the case separately. This
is done for reducing the time of setting the article in action position.
3.2. For setting the article in action position at night it is necessary to do
the following:
– take the tripod 3 out of the case (Figure A.0);
– take the soft cover 7 (Figure A.9) off the tripod 3;
– set the tripod on the ground;
– take the angle measuring device 2 from the case (Figure A.0), set it into the ball
bearing of the tripod (Figure A.4), having slightly turned the thumbscrew 20 tight;
– level the angle measuring device in the ball bearing of the tripod till the
bubble of the round level 6 is placed in the center of the level vial. Finally,
screw the thumbscrew 20 tight;
– take the sighting device 4 (Figure A.0) from the case and mount it on
the seat 0 (Figure A.4) of the angle measuring device. Turn the handle 9 up
to the stop;
– screw the cap (Figure A.3) out of the sighting device, the lid 3 (Figure A.5) out
of the illuminator. Take four accumulators NLTs-0.9- 4 (Figure A.9) from the
case and set two accumulators in the cap (Figure A.3) and two accumulators
in the cap 3 (Figure A.5). Screw the lids into the sighting device and into the
illuminator;
– if it is necessary to carry out mutual orientation of two observers, take the
handle 3 (Figure A.9) and the screw 9 from the case. Fasten the handle with the
help of the screw through the hole A (Figure A.3) on the sighting device body.
Fix the illuminator 6 (Figure A.9) into the handle hole;
– switch on the sighting device by turning the handle 2 (Figure A.3) to the
position marked with the white point;
– set the diopter value necessary for the eye on the ocular scale by turning
the ring 5 of the ocular;
– take the diaphragm 4 (Figure A.9) off the sighting device objective;
– make the image of the object, which is observed, by turning the
handwheel 2 (Figure A.3);
– release the aiming circle by turning the handwheel 7 (Figure A.4).
3.2.2 Setting the article in action position in the daytime and at dusk must
be carried out in the same way as at night. The only difference is that the
diaphragm 4 (Figure A.9) is not taken off the sighting device objective.
3.3. Checking of the aiming circle includes checking coordination of the
aiming circle needle with the observing line of the device (checking aiming
circle according to the direction); checking deviation of the upper surface of

5
the needle from the plane with index (checking aiming circle according to
the height); checking of the deviation of the needle from the zero position
(checking of the standstill angle); checking of the decay time and number of
oscillations of the needle.
First, checking the aiming circle according to the direction and height is
done; then, the standstill angle, the standstill time and number of oscillations
of the needle are checked.
3.3.2 Before checking and adjusting of the aiming circle, it is necessary to
do the following:
– level the angle measuring device 4 (Figure 2) according to the round level 6
(Figure A.4) carefully;
– aim the observing line of the sighting device at the checkpoint the direction
of which (magnetic azimuth) is known beforehand;
– loosen the scale 7 by turning the handle 6 and set the reading on it corresponding
to the magnetic azimuth. Fix the scale 7 by turning the handle 6;
– set the reading 0-00 on the scale 7 by turning the handwheel 8. The
observing line of the sighting device is directed to the North.
3.3.3 If the aiming circle 4 needle does not coincide with the index, superpose
the needle with the index by turning the handwheel 8.
If the reading on the scale 7 is less than ±0-0, the aiming circle need not be
adjusted according to the direction.
If the reading on the scale 7 is more than ±0-0, it is necessary to do the
following:
– loosen the screws 8 (Figure A.4) and 9 with the help of the spanner 7
(Figure A.9) and turn the aiming circle 4 till the needle coincides with the
index. Fix the screws 8 and 9.
Check the coordination of the aiming circle according to the direction using
the methods given in the point 3.3.2.
3.3.4 If the needle of the aiming circle 4 does not coincide with the index
more than on 0.5 mm when the checking procedure from the point 3.3.3 is
carried out, it is necessary to do the following:
– loosen the screws 2 (Figure A.4) with the help of the spanner 7 (Figure A.9).
Superpose the needle with the index according to the height up to the value
of not less than 0.5 mm by turning the aiming circle in the vertical plane. Block
up the screws 2.
3.3.5 The standstill angle, the rest time and the number of oscillations of the
aiming circle needle are checked after the works described in the points 3.3.3
and 3.3.4. For this do the following:
– draw a small steel object to the aiming circle 4 case. The aiming circle
needle must deviate till touching the case side;
– draw the steel object away. The needle must oscillate at least 6 times and
stop oscillations maximum within 50 sec. After the oscillations, the aiming circle
needle must return to its original position (reading 0-00 on the scale 7);

6
– if the aiming circle needle does not return to the original position after
oscillations, superpose it with the index by turning the handwheel 8; take the
reading on the scale 7. The reading is the standstill angle of the aiming circle;
– if the obtained reading on the scale 7 differs more than on ±0-03, the
aiming circle must be sent to the maintenance organization.
4.. It is necessary to study the reconnoitered locality in the daytime for
efficient observation at night (if it is possible), as the image contrast and locality
and target colouring observed with the help of the article considerably differ
from the real ones.
4..2 Before operation, the article must be prepared according to the chapter
3 of the given Service Manual.
4.2. For defining of the direction angle of oriented direction it is necessary
to define the magnetic azimuth of the direction on the locality with the help
of the aiming circle. It is also necessary to calculate its direction angle taking
into account the aiming circle allowance. For this use the formula :
α = Am – ∆Am, ()
α – direction angle of oriented direction;
Am – mean value of the magnetic azimuth;
∆Am – the aiming circle allowance with its sign.
4.2.2 For defining the magnetic azimuth do the following:
– aim the observing line of the sighting device at the North with the help
of the aiming circle 4 by turning the handwheel 8 (Figure A.4) of the angle
measuring device;
– loosen the scale 7 by turning the handle 6. Set the reading 0-00 on the scale 7.
Fix the scale 7 with the help of the handle 6;
– superpose the cross of the sighting device reticle with the target by turning
the handwheel 8;
– take the reading on the scale 7.
4.2.3 For defining the allowance do the following:
– set the sighting device to the point (check point) from which two or three
objects with known direction angles are seen well;
– define the magnetic azimuth according to the point 4.2.2 of the given Service
Manual for each object not less then three times, put down the results;
– calculate arithmetic average value of the magnetic azimuth for each
oriented object;
– subtract corresponding value of the direction angles from the calculated
values. Evaluate the aiming circle allowance by taking the arithmetic average
from the obtained differences.

7
We know the direction angles of the directions: for the object N.
they are 8-69, for the object N.2 they are 4-37, for the object 3 they are 20 -2.
During checking by these objects, the magnetic azimuths shown in the table 3
were defined.
Table 3
Readings Numbers of objects
2 3
8-36 4-05 9-88
2 8-34 4-0 9-85
3 8-40 4-07 9-88
Arithmetic average 8-37 4-04 9-86
Define the difference between the average values of the magnetic azimuths
and corresponding direction angles:
Object N.: 8-37 – 8-69 = – 0-32
Object N.2: 4-04 – 4-37 = – 0-33
Object N.3: 9-86 – 20-2 = – 0-35
Define the aiming circle allowance:
The allowance which has been found is valid for the locality free of any
magnetic anomalies, within 20 km from the checking point to the East and
West; within 00 km to the South or North.
4.3. Aim the observing line of the sighting device at the North with the
help of the aiming circle 4 by turning the handwheel 8 (Figure A.4). Set the
reading 0-00 on the scale 7.
Set the value of the magnetic azimuth angle of the reference direction on
the scale 7 by turning the handwheel 8.
Loosen the scale 7 by turning the handle 6. Set the reading 30-00 on the
scale 7. Fix the scale 7 with the help of the handle 6.
4.4. Rotate the sighting device by turning the handwheel 8 (Figure A.4) for
superposing the vertical line of the cross of the sighting device reticle (the maximum
angle is 0-30) or any vertical line of the sighting device reticle (the angle being from
0-30 to 0-60) with one of the objects between which the angle is being measured.
∆β = - (32+33+35) = -0 - 33.

Count number of points of the reticle to the second object and approximately
define the point part.
Multiply the obtained number of the points together with the parts by the
value of one point 0-05.
The obtained result is the horizontal angle between the two objects.
4.5. Aim the horizontal line of the sighting device reticle or any line of the
vertical row at one of the objects by turning the handwheel 3 (Figure A.4) of
the target angle of elevation.
Count number of points of the reticle to the second object and approximately
define the point part.
Multiply the received number of the points together with the parts by the
value of one point 0-05.
4.6. Aim the cross of the sighting device reticle at one of the objects by
turning the handwheel 8 (Figure A.4). Take the reading on the scale 7 using
vernier counting method and write it down.
Aim the cross of the sighting device reticle at the other object by turning
the handwheel 8, take the reading on the scale 7. Subtract the smaller angle
value from the larger one.
4.7. Aim the horizontal line of the cross at one of the objects by turning the
handwheel 3. Take the reading on the scale using vernier counting method.
Take the reading to the second object by turning the handwheel 3.
If the index is against the black figures of the scale , the angle is positive,
if it is against the red ones, it is negative.
Add absolute values of the obtained results if the measured angles have
different signs. If their signs are the same, subtract the smaller result from the
larger one.
4.8. Article orientation at the observation post according to the direction
angle is carried out in the following way:
– aim the observing line of the sighting device at the checkpoint which has
the known direction angle by turning the handwheel 8 (Figure A.4);
– set the reading on the scale 7 equal to the direction angle to the
checkpoint.

4.8.2 The orienting of the article for defining targets from the point of
conjugated observation is carried out by mutual aiming of the sighting devices
or according to the direction angle.
During orienting by mutual aiming of the sighting devices, the illuminators 2
(Figure A.2) set on the sighting devices are aimed at each other. The sighting
devices are located at different ends of the conjugated observation base. The
illuminator of the left observation point (point A) is switched on and the reading
30-00 is set by turning the handwheel 8. The reading 0-00 is set on the sighting
device of the right observation point (point B). After switching the illuminators
off, the sighting devices are oriented by mutual aiming, the limbs have zero to
the right on the base.
For orientation according to the direction angle, the sighting device is aimed
at the checkpoint, whose direction angle for the direction from the observation
point is known. The reading which corresponds to the direction angle from
the observation point to the checkpoint is set on the scale 7. When using this
method of orientation, bear in mind that reading of the angle on the target
corresponds to the direction angle of the direction from the observation point
to the given target.
4.9. Aim the sighting device at the target the size of which is known by
turning the handwheel 8 (Figure A.4) and the handwheel 3 of the measuring
device. Define the value of the angle, above which the width and the height of
the given target are seen, by the horizontal and vertical lines of the reticle.
Divide the known size of the target by the obtained angle, multiply the
result by 000.
Side projection of a tank is seen at the angle of 0-0, the length
of the tank is 5 m. Define the distance to the tank:
The angle at which the target is seen can be measured using the reticle of the
sighting device or with the help of the scales 7 and of the angle measuring
device.
