2、PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
2.1 UNPACKING AND STORE OF INSTRUMENT
· Unpacking of instrument
Place the case lightly with the cover upward, and unlock the case, take out the instrument.
· Store of instrument
Cover the telescope cap, place the instrument into the case with the vertical clamp screw and
circular vial upwards (Objective lens towards tribrach), and slightly tighten the vertical clamp
screw and lock the case.
2.2 SETTING UP THE INSTRUMENT
Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to ensure the
best performance.
Operation Reference:
1 Leveling and Centering the Instrument by plumb bob
1) Setting up the tripod
① First, extend the extension legs to suitable length, make the tripod head parellel to the
ground and tighten the screws.
② Make the centre of the tripod and the occupied point approximately on the same plumb
line.
③ Step on the tripod to make sure if it is well stationed on the ground.
2) Attaching the instrument on the tripod
Place the instrument carefully on the tripod head and slide the instrument by loosing the
tripod screw. If the plumb bob is positioned right over the center of the point, slightly tighten
the tripod.
3) Roughly leveling the instrument by using the circular vial
① Turn the leveling screw A and B to move the bubble in the circular vial, in which case
the bubble is located on a line perpendicular to a line running through the centers of the two
leveling screw being adjusted .

② Turn the leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of the circular vial.
4) Precisely leveling by using the plate vial

① Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place
the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B , and then bring the
bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling screws A and B.
② Rotate the instrument 90º(100g) around its vertical axis and turn the remaining leveling
screw or leveling C to center the bubble once more.
③Repeat the steps ①② for each 90º(100g) rotation of the instrument and check whether
the bubble is correctly centered in all directions.
2、Centering by using the optical plummet
1) Set tripod
Lift tripod to suitable height, ensure equal length of three legs, spread and make tripod head
parellel to the ground, and place it right above the measurement station point. Prop up tripod on
the ground and fix one leg.
2) Install instrument and collimate to the point
10

Set instrument carefully on tripod, tighten the central connecting screw and adjust optical
plummet to make the reticle distinctly. Hold the other two unfixed legs with both hands and adjust
position of these two legs through observation of optical plummet. As it approximately aims at the
station point, make all three legs fix on the ground. Adjust three leg screws of the instrument to
make optical plummet collimate precisely to the station point.
3) Use circular vial to roughly level the instrument.
Adjust length of three legs of tripod, make the circular vial bubble of the instrument in the
middle.
4)Use plate vial to level the instrument accurately.
①Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw and place the plate
vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B, and then bring the bubble to the center
of the plate vial by turning the leveling screws A and B.
②Rotate the instrument 90℃, make it perpendicular to the connecting line of level screws A and
B. Turn level screw C to make the bubble of the plate vial in the middle.
5) Precisely centring and leveling
Through observation of optical plummet, slightly loosen the central connecting screw and
move the instrument evenly (Don’t rotate the instrument), making the instrument precisely
collimating to the station point. Then tighten the central connecting screw and level the instrument
precisely again.
Repeat this operation till the instrument collimate precisely to the measurement station point.
2.3 BATTERY POWER REMAINING DISPLAY

Battery power remaining display indicates the power condition .

： ---.--- m
ALL DIST RECORD ↓
Note ：
① The battery operating time will vary depending on the environmental conditions such as
ambient temperature, charging time, the number of times of charging and discharging etc. It is
recommended for safety to charge the battery beforehand or to prepare spare full charged batteries.
② The battery power remaining display shows the power level regarding the current
measurement mode. The distance measurement mode consumes more power than angle
measurement mode, so the power enough for the latter is not sure applicable for the previous one.
Pay particular attention to this when switching angle measurement mode to distance measurement
mode, because insufficient battery power might lead to interrupted operation.
● Before outdoor operation, battery power status should be well checked.
③ When the measurement mode is changed, the battery power would not immediately show the
decrease or increase. The battery power indicating system shows the general status but not the
instantaneous change of battery power.

· Battery Recharging Cautions:
☆ Battery should be recharged only with the charger SC-21 going with the instrument.
☆ Remove the on-board battery from instrument and connect it to battery charger. When the
indicator lamp on the battery charger is orange, the recharging process has begun. When
charging is complete (indicator lamp turns green), disconnect the charger from its power
source.
·Battery Removal Cautions：
Before removing the battery from the instrument, make sure that the power is turned off.
Otherwise, the instrument may be damaged.
·Battery Recharging Cautions：
☆ The charger has built-in circuitry for protection from overcharging. However, do not
leave the charger plugged into the power outlet after recharging is completed.
☆ Be sure to recharge the battery at a temperature of 0°～±45°C, recharging may be
abnormal beyond the specified temperature range .
☆ When the indicator lamp does not light after connecting the battery and charger, either
the battery or the charger may be damaged. Please connect professionals for repairing.
·Battery Charging Cautions：
☆ Rechargeable battery can be repeatedly recharged 300 to 500 times. Complete discharge
of the battery may shorten its service life.
☆ In order to get the maximum service life, be sure to recharge it at least once a month.
2.4 REFLECTOR PRISMS

When measuring distance, a reflector prism needs to be placed at the target place. Reflector
systems come with single prism and triple prisms, which can be mounted with tribrach onto a
tripod or mounted onto a prism pole. Reflector systems can be self-configured by users according
to job.
Illustrated are some prism systems that match:
2.5 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING INSTRUMENT FROM TRIBRACH
·Dismounting
If necessary, the instrument(including reflector prisms with the same tribrach) can be
12

dismounted from tribrach. Loosen the tribrach locking screw in the locking knob with a
screwdriver. Turn the locking knob about 180° counter-clockwise to disengage anchor jaws, and
take off the instrument from tribrach..
·Mounting
Insert three anchor jaws into holes in tribrach and line up the directing stub with the directing
slot. Turn the locking knob about 180°clockwise and tighten the locking screw with a screwdriver.
2.6 EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT AND COLLIMATING OBJECT
·Method of Collimating Object（for reference）

① Sight the Telescope to bright place and rotate the eyepiece tube to make the reticle clear .
② Collimate the target point with top of the triangle mark in the coarse collimator. (Keep a
certain distance between eye and the coarse collimator).
③ Make the target image clear with the telescope focusing screw.
☆ If there is parallax when your eye moves up , down or left , right , it means the diopter of eyepiece lens or
focus is not well adjusted and accuracy will be influenced, so you should adjust the eyepiece tube carefully
to elimate the parallax.

2.8 POINT SEARCHING
Point searching is a comprehensive function, which use a procedure to search measurement
points or known points in internal memory.
The searching scope can be limited to a certain job or the whole internal memory
The known points matching searching condition always emerge before measurement opoints.
If there are several points qualified to the searching standard, these points will line up according to
their storing time. The instrument always finds out the current newest known point first.
To search directly
Input a precise pointID (e.g.: “A12”), press [FIND],then all points named “A12”can be found.
There are many places to start the point searching function. Here, take searching the known
points in “setting station” as an example.

3.2.3 Set Atmosphere Data

Refraction modules:
The instrument will automatically correct the effect of atmosphere refraction and the earth
curvature when calculating the horizontal distance and the height differentia.
The correction for atmosphere refraction and the earth curvature are done by the formulas as
follows:
Corrected Horizontal Distance：
D=S * [cosα+ sinα* S * cosα(K-2) / 2Re]
Corrected Height Differentia：
H= S * [sinα + cosα* S * cosα(1-K) / 2Re]
If the correction of atmosphere refraction and the earth curvature is neglected, the
calculation formula of horizontal distance and the height differentia are:
D=S·cosα
H=S·sinα
……………………
In formula: K=0.14 Atmosphere Refraction Modulus

Atmospheric Correction:
Light’s travelling speed in the air is not a constant, it varies with the change of the
temperature and pressure of atmosphere, the instrument can automatically modify observing result
once the atmospheric correction value is set.
The atmospheric correction value will still be kept even if the machine is shut off.
The calculating formula for atmospheric correction is as follows: (Calculating unit：

meter)
PPM = 273.8 - 0.2900 × Pressure Value（hPa）
1 + 0.00366 × Temperature value（℃）
If the pressure unit adopted is mmHg : make conversion with 1hPa = 0.75mmHg.
If regardless of atmospheric correction, please set PPM value as 0

3.3.5 )Quick Code(Only For STS-750)

To use quick code function, you can call up directly a pre-defined coding by numeric keys of
the instrument. By inputing a digit of two bit, you may choose a code and trigger survey. Since the
survey is triggered, the survey data and coding will be saved all together.
100 quick codings in all can be defined,you may create coding with code block manager
provided by SANDING company, and transfer to the instrument .In the code block manager, each
code can be arranged 1bit or 2bit digit exclusively
If the code was not dispatched with a digit from“coding block manager”,the code will be
choosed according to their inputing sequence(e.g.: 01->:the first code in the code list.10->the tenth
code in the code list).For the coding format please refer to appendix A.

Several functions can be called up via [FNC] key.
Functions can also be started directly from the different application.
Each function from the Function menu can be assigned to the [USER] key. (See 4.4 “Main
Settings”)
Several functions：

4.1 LEVELING
As the tilt sensor is activated, automatic correction of vertical angle for mislevelment is
displayed.
To ensure a precise angle measurement, tilt sensor must be activated (See 4.4 (Main Settings),
the display can be used to fine level the instument.
If [TILT OVER] is displayed, it indicates that the instrument is out of the automatic
correction range, and that it needs to be leveled manually. Please refer to “2.2 Instrument Setup”
for detailed leveling instruction.
STS-700 Total Station compensates the verticle angle reading due to inclination of the
standing axies in the X directions .

④After finishing leveling, the
screen will return to previous
status.
When the instrument is placed on an unstable stage or in a windy weather condistion, the
display of vertical angle is unstable. You can switch off the auto tilt correction function of vertical
angle.
If the mode of auto correction has been activated, (single axis, see “4.4 Main Settings”), in
the condition that the instrument has not been leveled, the program will demand that the
instrument must be leveled at first, so as to enter other functions.
4.2 TARGET OFFSET

When it is not possible to set up the reflector or aim the target point directly, this function
will perform helpfully. Enter the offset values (length, cross and/or height offset). The values for
the angle and distances can be calculated directly for the target point.
If the height offset value is plus, it indicates that the offset point is higher than the
measurement point.

SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION
If the orientation is only measured in telescope Face II the HZ orientation is based on
telescope Face II. If measured only in telescope Face I or mixed the HZ orientation is based on
Face I.
The reflector height may not be changed during measurements in the first and second
telescope face.
If a target point is measured several times in the same telescope face, the last valid
measurement is used for the computation.
If no orientation was set and an application was started resp. if in “Measure” [All] or [REC]
was triggered, then the current HZ direction and V-angle are set as orientation.

5.6 STAKE OUT

This program calculates the required elements to staked out points coordinates or manually
entered angles, horizontal distances and heights. Stake out differences can be displayed
continuously.
Stake Out Procedure:
1. Setting job
2. Setting station
3. Setting orientation
4. Calling up coordinates from internal memory. These coordinates can be measured, and also
can be input the coordinates of known points.
5. Staking out. Three methods of stake-out are available: Polar Stake Out, Orthogonal Stake Out,
Coordinate Offset Stake Out.

5.7 FREES STATION

The application “Free Station” is used to determine the instrument position from
measurements to a minimum of two known points and a maximum of five known points.
The following measurements sequence to target points are possible:
1. HZ-angle and V-angle onely
2. Distance and HZ-angle and V-angle
3. HZ-angle and V angle to some points and HZ-angle and V angle plus distance to
other points.
The final calculated results are Easting, Northing and Height of the present station, including
the instruments’ HZ-circle orientation. Standard deviations and rediduals for accuracy assessments
are provided.
Measuring Facilities:
1. Single face I or II measurements are always applicable.
2. There is no specific point sequence or specific face sequecens that are required.
3. Gross errorss checks are made for dual face measurements in order to the same point(s)
are sighted with the other face.
4. If a target point is measured several times in the same telescope position, the last valid
measurement is used for calculation.
Measurement Restrictions:
Status of a height of 0.000 m of the target point
If target points hava a valid height of 0.000m, use 0.001 m to enable it for height processing.
Computation Procedure
The measuring procedure automatically determines the method of evaluation, e.g. resection,
3 point resection, etc.
If more than the minimum required measurements are performed, the processing routine uses
84

a least squares adjustment to determine the plan position and averages orientation and heights.
1. The original averaged face I and face II measurements enter the computation process.
2. Easting and northing is determined by the method of least squares, including standard
deviation and improvements for HZ-direction and horizontal distances.
3. The final height is computed from averaged height differences based on the original
measurement.
4. The HZ-circle orientation is computed with the original averaged face I and face II
measurements and the final computed plan position.

5.8 COGO
“COGO”
It is an application program to perform coordinate geometry calculations such as：
·Coordinate of points
·Azimuth between points
·Distance between points
The CoGo calculation methods are ：
·Inverse
·Intersection
·Traverse
SOFT KEYS FUNCTIONS ：
[MEAS] Jump to measurement dialog box to measure the point..
[CALC] Once the datum in need is imputted, start calculate.
[STAKE] Once computation point displyed , can select to staked out directly.

provided by Sanding Opti-Electric Co., Ltd; or inputting manually in program “Road”.
The vertical alignment data is unnecessarilly to be defined, unless it is required to compute
dig and fill. The method to define is similar to that of horizontal alignment.
Rules of alignment stake-out data:

Offset left: Horizontal distance between the left chainage and central line.
right: Horizontal distance between the right chainage and central line.
Vertical Difference Left (right): vertical difference between left (right) chainage and the
central line point.
147

In the process of stake-out, user should first stake out points on the central line, then the
featured points on both sides.
The method to stake out alignment is similar to that of point stake-out, with 3 methods available:

Explanation for Point ID:
The number behind C is the chainage.
+ means to stake out points of the right chainage. While staking out points of the left
chainage, it shows “-”.
+(or-) behind the number is the distance between points of right chainage and central line, i.e.
the data of the right offset(or left offset)data. Here, the points on the central line reads 0.0.
For instance: PtID C100+2.0 expresss the point on the right chainage is 2 m away from the
central line, with a chainage of 100.

Indeed, the fill/ cut value that are input here is a ratio.
The fill/dig data can be entered through left and right slopes. In terms of fill/dig, use positive
symbol to input the required slope, the software selects an appropriate slope in the list according
to the actual position of the point.
Dig/fill is decided via the estimated height of hinge point. If the height is above the hinge
point, the dig slope is used, otherwise the fill slope is used.

189

is suggested to check one or two times every year. The inspection should be made on the base line,
also can be made according to the following method.
Inspection
1. Mount and level the instrument on Point A at a plain place. Use the vertical hair to mark Point B
and Point C with the distance of 50m on the same line, and set the reflector accurately.
2. After setting temperature and air pressure in the instrument, measure the Horizontal Distance of
AB and AC accurately.
3. Set the instrument on Point B and center it accurately, measure the Horizontal Distance of BC
accurately.
4. Then you can get the Instrument Constant ：K＝ＡＣ－(ＡＢ＋ＢＣ)
K should be closed to ０，If ｜K｜＞５ｍｍ, the instrument should be strictly inspected in the
standard baseline site, and adjusted according the inspection value.
Adjustment
If strict inspection approves that the Instrument Constant K has changed and is not closed to 0. If
the operator wants to adjust, should set Stadia Constant according to the Constant K
●Set the direction by using the Vertical Hiar to make Point A, B, C on the same line strictly.
There must be fixed and clear centering mark.on the point B.
●Whether the prism center of Point B coincides with the Instrument Center, it is the important step
to inspect the accuracy. So on Point B the tripod or tribrach compatible should be used. That will
decrease the difference.

This example is symmetry spiral transition N1=N2，E1=E2
⑷ Calculation of shift value ∆R

∆R = E − R (1 − cosτ )
∆R = 6.777 − 100(1 − cos18 °20′06″)
= 1.700
Symmetry spiral transition ∆ R1 = ∆ R2
⑸ Calculation of Spiral Transition coordinate

Each coordinates are computed ：

N BC = N IP 2 − TL ⋅ cosα 2
E BC = E IP 2 − TL ⋅ sinα 2
N EC = N IP 2 − TL ⋅ cosα 3
E EC = E IP 2 − TL ⋅ sin α 3
:
α (Bearing from IP1 to IP2) = 322°07′30.1″

N BC = 1750 - 221.615 * cos322°07′30.1″ =1575.068 m

E BC = 1400 - 221.615 * sin322°07′30.1″ =1536.058 m
N EC = 1750 –(-221.615) * cos57°59′40.6″=1867.456 m
E EC = 1400 –(-221.615) * sin57°59′40.6″=1587.929 m
The results are calculated as below :
