Stonex R25/R25LR Total Station - User Manual 120
Appendix II: Correction for refraction and earth curvature
The factory setting for the refraction coefficient K is 0.142.
Considering the correction of refraction and earth curvature for distance measurement, the formula for slope
distance, horizontal distance and vertical distance applied in the instrument are as followings:
The conversion formula for horizontal and vertical distance is as follows when correction for refraction and earth
curvature is not applied:
