The declinations of stars are determined by the circle micrometers on the meridian circle. The determined accuracy of declinations depends on the systematic accuracy of the micrometers. The DCMT (Danish Chinese Meridian Telescope) adopts photoelectric scanning micrometers as the circle reading system. It contains 6 micrometers forming 3 pairs to measure the circle posistion simultaneously. The repeatability of the circle reading and systematic errors of micrometers are discussed in this paper.
