3. SETTING-OUT MEASUREMENT
Note:Each time press SHV, setting-out measurement mode changes: SD HD VD COORD REM

3.1Distance Setting-Out Measurement

The point can be found based on the horizontal angle from the reference direction and the distance from the instrument station.

Procedure

Operation Procedure:
Target at reference point and set 0 angle Input Angle(between reference Pt and setout Pt) and Dist Switch to SD setout mode and measure the setout point

Input

3.2 REM Setting-Out Measurement

To find a point where a target can not be directly installed

Operation Procedure:
Put prism above or below the target point.Input target height

SD

Measure and get the distance.Enter into set-out to input Prism height and SO H set

Input

Switch to REM setout mode

4. OFFSET MEASUREMENT 4.1 Single-Distance Offset Measurement

When the offset point is positioned to left or right of the target point, make sure the angle formed by lines connecting the offset point to the target point and to the instrument station is almost 90. When the offset point is positioned in front of or behind the target point, install the offset point on a line linking the instrument station with the target point.

Operation Procedure:

Enter into Offset/Dist and input the offset distance

Input

Measure prism

the

OBS.+OK

Get result

4.2 Angle Offset Measurement

Install offset points for the target point on the right and left sides of and as close as possible to the target point. The target height and the height of offset points should be identical.

Operation Procedure:

Enter into Offset/Angle and target at prism

OBS.

Target at offset point

OK

Get result

4.3 Two-Distance Offset Measurement

Install two offset points (1st target and 2nd target) on a straight line from the target point, observe the 1st target and 2nd target, then enter the distance between the 2nd target and the target point to find the target point.

Operation Procedure:

Enter offset/2D

into

Target at A point and target at B point in turn

Input the distance from B to the offset point

Input

Get the result interface

5. MISSING LINE MEASUREMENT 5.1 MLM

To measure the slope distance, horizontal distance, and height difference to a target from the reference (point 1) without moving the instrument.

To find the height difference between 2 points, use a pole to make the target height of all the targets It is possible to perform Missing Line Measurement by selecting 4. MLM from the Menu mode.

Operation Procedure:

Target at P1 and measure distance

SD

Sight at P2 and measure to get the distance P1-P2

MLM

Sight at P3 and Press MLM then the distance P1-P3 displays

MLM

Continue to target point 4 and get the distance P1-P4 to reobserve first point and restart another MLM job.

OBS.

5.2 Slope between 2 points

It is possible to display the gradient of the starting position and target as a %.

Operation Procedure:
First 3 steps are same as last one

SD

Get the gradient of the 2 points

S/%

Get the distance of the 2 points

5.3 Changing the Starting Point

It is possible to change the last measured point to the next starting point.

Operation Procedure:

First 2 or 3 steps are same as last one

MOVE

Change the last measured point to be the starting point

YES

Start another MLM job

6. REM MEASUREMENT

To measure the height to a point where a target can not be directly installed, for example a electrical wire, bridge, etc.

Operation Procedure:

Put prism above or below the target point and Input target height

Input

Sight the prism and measure the distance

SD

Enter into REM and sight at the target point.

Result come out

7. RESECTION MEASUREMENT 7.1 Resection

Resection is used to determine the coordinates of the instrument station by measuring the known points. Caution: 1. When the distance can be measured, at least 2 known points are required. 2. When there is even one point which can not be measured, at least 3 known points are required.

Demonstration flow chart:

ANGLE Enter into resection function. Input the points coordinates one by one

Input

NOTEAngle and distance can not be used crossways. When angle is in measuring, the known point direction should be clockwise or anticlockwise, the angle between near 2 points should be within 180. The KTS-440 can calculate the instrument station coordinates by observing 2 to 4 known points.

7.2 Re-Observing
It is possible to perform re-measuring from the first known point or only the last known point.

Operation Procedure:

1.Start point Result screen(First 4 steps are same as last one) ROBS

Measure first point

2.Last point

Measure last point

Same resection steps as normal

8. AREA CALCULATION

It is also possible to calculate the area of land enclosed by three or more known points on a line by manually inputting or reading the coordinates of the points. Coordinates(Known value)P1 (N1, E1) Area (calculated value)S P2 (N2, E2) P3 (N3, E3) P4 (N4, E4) P5 (N5, E5)

Operation Procedure:
Read or measure the points used to calculate area

Enter into area program
