Detailed Guide to Performing a Resection Survey on a Leica TS07 Total Station
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Initial Setup
- Leveling and Centering: Begin by setting up the Total Station. Ensure it is properly leveled and centered at the station point.
- Access the Menu: The Total Station menu has two main pages:
- Start (includes options like setup, survey, apps, settings)
- Manage
- Navigate to Setup: Using the cursor, select the Setup option from the Start page, then press OK to proceed.
Step 2: Selecting Recession Mode
- Press AF and Continue: After selecting setup, press the AF button to continue.
- Select Recession: Use the cursor to navigate and select the Recession option. This mode allows you to establish station points by taking multiple measurements.
Step 3: Enter Station Point and Setup Parameters
- Input Station Point Details: The Total Station will prompt you for the station point number or code. Enter the required code or let it auto-fill.
- Select the First Point: If the first point is saved, you can enter its ID or select it from the list. This will be your primary point for setting up.
Step 4: Aligning with the Rod and Measuring Distance
- Position the Instrument: Aim the Total Station toward the main rod on the first point and ensure the crosshairs are accurately aligned with the prism on the rod.
- Measure Distance: Press the distance button to measure the distance to the rod. Once you have the measurement, press F3 to store the reading.
Step 5: Adding More Points for Recession
- Select Additional Points: After storing the first measurement, your screen will display options for further points:
- A1, F2, and F3 are options to measure additional points if needed.
- Input ID for Second Point: If your second point has an ID, enter it directly. Otherwise, find it in the list.
- Adjust to the New Point: Aim the instrument toward the rod at the second point, align the crosshairs, and press the distance button to measure.
Step 6: Store and Compute Measurements
- Store Measurements: After measuring the second point, store the reading. You’ll see options like A2, A3, and A4 to add further points.
- Select Tolerance and Compute:
- F3 is for setting tolerance levels.
- F4 is for computing the final values for your recession setup.
- Finalize Recession: If you don’t need more points, select A4 to proceed. The screen will display the accuracy data, giving you insight into the precision of the measurements.
Step 7: Verifying Recession Accuracy
- Stake Out to Check Accuracy: Go to the Stake Out mode and select a point from the recession survey.
- Measure and Compare: Hit Distance to check if there is any difference. The Total Station will display the difference (in millimeters) to help you verify accuracy.
- Re-adjust if Necessary: If there’s a significant discrepancy, you may need to re-target and measure.
Conclusion
Once you’ve checked the recession data and verified it, your setup is complete. You’re now ready to proceed with further measurements or site tasks.
