Application of
As a rule, work with an electronic total station has become an indispensable process in all types of geodetic work. It is the improved principle of operation of the total station that caused such a demand for this electronic device.
The new capabilities of the total station include:
- Maximum range and accuracy of the beam, which is not reflected from foreign objects;
- A special automated system that allows you to find the desired object at a distance;
- Complete control system with remote control.
Important! Before using the instrument, it is necessary to familiarize yourself in detail with a document such as the instruction manual for operation with the total station.
Working with the total station: the main types of
The most common type of work with this device is work that is necessary for private construction. To perform this procedure, two people are required, one of which must be a surveyor who can assess the performance of the device. Assistant surveyor can be any person who does not need to know how to use the total station.
The second type of work with the device is used for accurate engineering calculations that are carried out in the field. This requires multifunctional equipment, as well as highly qualified specialists. Assistant surveyor should be able to adjust the device and evaluate the indications that it gives.
The reflector for a total station is used when working with a robotic type of instrument that does not require the presence of an assistant. A tripod for a total station of this type does not apply. It is equipped with a vehicle that allows it to move independently from the object to the object.
This can be done using a special remote control, a device that is used by an experienced surveyor. This type of work is considered the most rare and expensive, because it requires not only expensive equipment, but also an experienced specialist, whose services are estimated quite high.
Important! Do not use such expensive equipment in the event that you do not have relevant experience with handling it.
How to work
So, in order to understand the information on how to work with the total station, you need to remember the basic order of the work:
- Set up the instrument and place it in the right place, which will allow you to measure the distance to the intended or active object. Note that the ground on which the device is placed should have a flat surface.
- Involve a specialist geologist who can correctly and accurately transfer all indicators of equipment to paper.
- Removes all extraneous objects that interfere with the beam to estimate the distance to the desired point.
Important! Do not buy an expensive device, which will only be required once.
In other words, it is better to invite a surveyor who already has this equipment, which will save a fairly large part of the construction budget. Before paying a specialist, you should make sure of his professional skills in order to be sure of the accuracy of the data that the surveyor will be able to remove from the device.
