Figure 4-8. Sun <strong>and</strong> Wind Code(5) The temperature, to the nearest degree centigrade as shown by the rod thermometer, is read<strong>and</strong> recorded for the rod coming up from the first backsight at the beginning of each section (as long asthe leveling is continuous). When leveling is interrupted for a considerable length of time, make anadditional temperature reading <strong>and</strong> record it at the end of the continuous leveling. If the interruptionoccurs during the running of a section, read <strong>and</strong> record the temperature when the leveling is resumed. Ifthe thermometer readings of the two rods differ, record the number <strong>and</strong> readings of both rods, beginningwith the rod in the backsight position.(6) The maximum length of sight is 75 meters, <strong>and</strong> this length is used only under the mostfavorable conditions. The length of sight should be kept as long as possible <strong>and</strong> still stay within closurelimits. Short lines of sight require additional setups <strong>and</strong> slow progress, but long sight lines increaseclosure errors <strong>and</strong> require reruns. A convenient rule to remember when fixing the length of a sight is toshorten the sights when difficulty is encountered in keeping the upper <strong>and</strong> lower intervals subtended onthe rod within 0.003 meter.(7) The difference in length between the foresight <strong>and</strong> the backsight distances at any instrumentstation must not exceed 10 meters. The continuous sum of these distances must not differ by more than20 meters for any section or at any tie point. Lines of sight should be close enough in length so that it isnot necessary to refocus between the two sights of an instrument station. Errors due to imperfect leveladjustment can be nearly eliminated if the lengths of the foresight <strong>and</strong> the backsight of each section arenearly equal.EN0593 4-18
