SURVEYING METHODS CHAPTER 5
GEODIMETER SYSTEM 600
Robotic Surveying (only servo)
The robotics of the system are unique. By equipping the
instrument with a tracker unit, even aiming can be done
from the measuring point. The entire measurement is perfor-
med from the point, with the same access to all functions of
the totalstation as if you were standing beside it.
Robotic surveying means higher production capacity. During
setting-out, it's best with two people: one to handle the
measuring with the RPU, and one to mark the points. Of
course, the entire job can be performed by a single person.
The unique search function makes robotic surveying
extremely efficient 24 hours a day.
Important information when measuring with high accuracy (and
using the instrument's Tracker)
To achieve the highest accuracy when measuring distances
shorter than 200 meters and using the Tracker unit you need
to be aware of the following:
If you use a large reflector like the Super Prism (Part no. 571
125 021) on your RMT, reflections from the Tracker unit
may have influence on the measured distance. The error can
vary from 0 to 3 mm. If you use the Miniature Prism (Part
no. 571 126 060) instead this error doesn't occur.
Equipment
To be able to work with robotic surveying you'll only need
one control unit, which you after station establishment etc.
disconnect from the instrument and bring to the point. You
will also need to equip your instrument with a radio side
cover (see chapter 1.1), a tracker unit, a RMT (Remote
Target) and an external radio connected to the keyboard
unit. The keyboard unit, the RMT and the external radio
will hereafter be called, RPU.
Radio communication
In order for the instrument and the RPU to be able to
communicate you will have to set the same radio channel at
the instrument and at the RPU. Select a channel with regards
to other radio systems that might be in operation in your
immediate area. If radio disturbances occur, e.g. if Info 103
is displayed, try another channel.
