Pole Vial Adjustment

Prism pole vials should be checked periodically to confirm that the bubble indicates when the pole is truly vertical.

The SECO 5195-01 provides a stable setup for holding the pole while the vial is inspected and adjusted. This helps reduce movement during the process and makes it easier to perform maintenance in a controlled indoor environment.

L-Bracket Pole Support

The lower portion of the jig includes an L-shaped bracket designed to support the point of the prism pole.

Resting the pole point against this bracket establishes a consistent lower reference while the top of the pole is positioned in the adjustable support.

Adjustable Upper Support

The upper portion of the jig can be adjusted to center the prism pole before the bubble vial is corrected.

Once the pole is properly positioned, the vial can be adjusted according to the pole manufacturer’s recommended procedure. The adjustable top accommodates the setup needed to hold the pole securely during the process.

Office and Equipment-Room Calibration

The SECO 5195-01 allows pole vial adjustments to be performed away from active jobsites.

It is well suited for:

• Survey equipment rooms
• Repair departments
• Calibration areas
• Survey company offices
• Construction equipment shops
• Routine equipment inspections

Why Pole Vial Calibration Matters

An improperly adjusted pole vial can cause the prism, GNSS antenna, or other mounted accessory to be positioned away from the intended survey point when the operator believes the pole is vertical.

Regularly checking and adjusting the vial helps support consistent pole positioning during surveying and construction layout work.

Ideal Applications

• Prism pole vial adjustment
• Rover pole maintenance
• Survey pole inspections
• Equipment-room calibration
• Survey instrument service departments
• Construction layout equipment maintenance
• Preventive field equipment care
