hi guys and welcome back to SITENG today is a video number 11 from the SETTING OUT series and
today i'm going to show you the LEICA total station TS
15 and we're gonna do resection so let's go
i'm going to start from setting the tripod i'm going to show you how to do it we got the three
bolts here so you have to undo them one two three what i usually do i'll set the legs at
let's say the chin level and then do the bolt now to hold the legs
one two and three now i'm going to set up probably somewhere here
so now where i set the legs i'll set the legs at let's say somewhere here the top chest level
it's a bit windy today so i want to make sure we got it all very securely
so one thing i have to say about this tripod really is
that you never should use a aluminium tripod for your edm
but that's just for learning purposes so let's say we are right for now
so we're trying to set the tripod so it's like roughly level
and then we're gonna set our edm on top of it
okay so now we're gonna set edm on the tripod on the box grab the edm out
please remember very gently this equipment is very sensitive
just hold it and screw the edm to the tripod
you have to do it gently as well not too hard it just have to be
just have to hold the edm on the tripod okay so now we're gonna turn on the edm
and at the same time we can start really leveling it so as on the last video i showed you the
bubble so we're gonna use these two bolts we're gonna turn on this axis and that one bolt there
i'm gonna move the edm on this axis so if you look at the bubble when i'm turning them to one
direction it goes now left now right so let's see we're going left now and then that one we need
it this way a little bit so we turn here so the bubble gonna be in the center in the minute yeah
so that's fine now you're gonna see when we turn on the edm you're gonna see on the screen as well
in the second you're gonna see the bubble so now we can see the bubble on the instrument
so we're gonna level it so it's gonna be within few seconds really yeah that's really good it's
all green now you can see if it's going to be out of level it's going to show you red
and when you get closer with the bubble it's going to show you the bubble
and then the closer you get you'll see it's now only green and then we're gonna go back
and we're gonna have now the instrument leveled and good to go
okay so now we're gonna start doing resection but there's two ways
in this instrument you can do the resection you can actually do it from the instrument
and you can do it from the remote controller and what i do usually i use the remote control
all the time so i'll just turn it on now and you're gonna see that it shows this total
station is currently being remotely controlled which means i control it from our controller
so let's go back here and then we're gonna start doing the resection so
we're gonna go to work we're gonna press
setup we're using resection yes and then use the control drop the control job will be our
site global then we're going to press ok station id we can call the station
s one let's say for now and then okay the instrument height we're gonna set as zero and
instrument gonna set itself based on the retro targets so now we're going to press
ok and that's the three targets we put in the station on the last video and we're going
to start from rt which is retro target number one so now i'm gonna find our station one our
retro target number one so we got the resection station id we're gonna put as uh
s1 let's say sightings global that's the job where we got the retro targets so okay
okay and then we're looking for it and we can turn the laser to just clearly see
okay and the surface reflector-less we don't need continuous we actually want a single shot
in this target aiming manual and the surface yeah let's go for any surface that's that's well enough
so that's okay and we're gonna use the
laser on so now you can see the laser here maybe i'm just aiming down on the floor
and then i'm gonna find my target RT1
that's rt1 and i'm gonna press the measure now
so target one is measured we're gonna measure now
RT2
which is here
so measure again RT2 now you can see after two targets we can actually calculate the station
we can have a look so that's the position of new station and we can check the quality as well which
is as you can see the height is perfect northing zero sorry nothing one mil and easting zero
but we really want to do another target as i told you we're always going to be using three targets
so our target number three is RT3 okay and we're going to measure it now
so all the same again i'm measuring the target and i'm going to press to measure now
now you can have a look we're going to calculate our resection again
that's the easting northing elevation of our instrument now
and we're gonna check the quality so one mil one mil the height is zero so that's
very good resection i'm gonna set it now press set so that's it the resection is complete now
your instrument is set and you're good to go for servering stakeout reference line and whatever you
do guys that's it in today's video i really hope you enjoyed it and i believe you just
make another step forward in your setting out site engineering knowledge if you have any questions if
something was unclear please let me know leave in the comment below and please guys subscribe
