Measuring
To measure with the Total Station, make sure that your device is level and on top of the “instrument
position” that you know the instrument height and that you have a “reference position”.
- On the Total Station:
1. Using the upper yellow button press to tab
CONFIG;
2. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure that the
following settings are set on the Total Station:
• HZ Increment: Right
• V-Setting: Zenith
Otherwise, the measurements will be mirrored
and wrong! (see page 61 of Chapter 6.2 on the
“Leica Builder Series: User Manual”);
3. Now to measure, still on the config tab, go
down the page in the screen using the lower
arrow until you reach Measure&Record;
4. Select and with the side arrows select ALLin-1 option;
5. Now, using the upper yellow button press to
tab “PROG”, the middle button should show “M
& R”;
• If you want to measure with the laser
(REDM):
- On EDM Type: select red dot and press OK
• If you want to measure using the prism:
- On EDM Type and select with the arrows: prism
- On Prism Type: select TrueZero
- Press OK when done
• Always make sure that hr equals 0.000 m,
this means that your prism height will be
zero, since the height is control at Theolt,
you do not need to set up this on the device.
7. To measure, just press M & R under the tab
PROG
8. To switch on the laser pointer, press the
black button on the side (we call it the “banana”)
for 2 seconds. Remember, having this on will
consume your battery faster.
6. To set up the survey mode you need: either
laser or prism, go to the yellow button with a
black spot in the middle lower area of the device
and press;
- Setting up the local coordinate system on Theolt:
1. Level and set up the Total Station on top of
the first “Instrument Position”, remember to
mark instruments positions visible from your
first position and covering the entire site you
want to measure, you can use permanent pens
and/or nails on the ground;
3. When the “Theolt:project
appears, select “New”
Manager”
2. Go to the project tab and press the gray/
green icon;
