Define declination constant:
Clockwise angle between grid north and magnetic north
What is the declination station
We declinate to determine declination constant of instruments and to correct for local attractions, annual variations and instrument errors
How is the remainder calculated
Subtract mounting azimuth from declination constant.
6250-4200=2050
If declination constant is smaller than mounting azimuth, add 6400.
Mounting azimuth = 0150
Declination constant =6250
6550-4200=2350
4 reasons to declinate
1- when aiming circle moved 25mi or more
2- after electrical storm or severe shock to equipment
3- every 30 days
4- when initially received and when returning to maintenance
