Set up total station over a point
Вставка

- This is a step-by-step guide on how to set up your total station or theodolite over a point and accurately level it. Following this procedure is the quickest way to set up your total station.
Step 1: Extend the trip legs equally.
Step 2: Space out the legs in an even triangle
Step 3: Check the tripod head is roughly level
Step 4: Lift the whole tripod and place it over the nail
Step 5: Stand back and check that the nail is lined up with the centre of the tripod head from all sides
Step 6: Hold the screw fixing vertically and at the centre of the tripod head and look down it to make sure it is centred over the nail.
Step 7: Check that the tripod head is level
Step 8: Stamp the feet of the tripod firmly into the ground. Check that it is still centred over the nail.
Step 8: Take the total station out of the box and attach it to the tripod head
Step 9: Looking through the optical plummet, adjust the footscrews until the black circle is centered over the nail.
Step 10: Adjust the length of 2 of the legs until the circular bubble is centered.
Step 11: Repeat steps 9 and 10 as many times as necessary until the nail is centered and the circular bubble is centered.
Step 12: Alternatively, when the circular bubble is centered and you are quite close to the nail, loosen the fixing screw and slide the total station over the head of the tripod until centered.
Step 13: Rotate the long bubble until it is parallel to two of the footscrews. Call them A and B. Footscrew C is the remaining footscrew.
Step 14: Rotate A and B in opposite (counter) directions until the bubble is centered
Step 15: Turn through 90 degrees
Step 16: Use footscrew C on it's own to centralise the long bubble
Step 17: Turn through 90 degrees
Step 18: Rotate A and B in opposite (counter) directions until the bubble is centered
Step 19: Turn through 90 degrees
Step 20: Use footscrew C on it's own to centralise the long bubble
Step 21: Turn through 90 degrees, back to the starting position. The long bubble should be centred. If not repeat from step 18
Step 22: Look through the optical plummet to check that you are still centred over the nail.

Generally a pretty good explanation. Much better than many on youtube. I do have a couple of comments.... .... 1) At 1:33 her hands a completely off the instrument and it isn't screwed down yet. Keep one hand on the handle until the thing is screwed down. 2) screw it down only 2 finger tight, which she in fact does, not hand (fist) tight like the narrator states 3) hubs are not usually left sticking up that far. Too easily knocked around. Drive them in flush or nearly so.
i haven't seen anyone before to explain it that much easy even our instructor make it hard while performing a practical by total station thank you miss
Awesome video! Wish I saw this 8 years ago when I had to teach myself. I'll have to try the chin -set and pace-to-Ref-Point and see if that helps.
Im from malaysia great steps and explanation on how to set up total station
My god Thats the best video ive ever seen on ts setup - you just summarized my surveying class in college in 5 min
Best video i saw among all for set up of the instrument...great explaination
Great job very well explained
The leveling screws are set to midpoint before you stow the gun the day before. When you mount the gun at the break of day, the leveling screws are already set to midpoint from the day before - see? Be careful holding your index finger too close to the pinch point while adjusting the legs - it hurts- and when you are wearing gloves you will pinch the glove and have to release it before you can continue. Stomp one leg down hard - use that leg as your pivot point - then use the other two legs and the optical plummet to fly the gun onto your occupy point.
Good channel. Nice simple explanations with no messing about. Thanks for posting.
Thank you a million!
Very very well explained
Very well explained !! Landsurveying 101
Merci pour votre enseignement.
my dear you are very good . Thank you for the video
Very informative. Tnx
Great Video Thank you
Learned more from your video than I did from my lecturer

how can set out a center columns and how check it by total station ?
do you have a vid that actually takes the reading??
great channel
Good work
Thanks
Thank you ma from Nigeria
Thanks a lot
That was oddly riveting, I feel like I've absorbed some crazy obscure knowledge.
Thanks sir
Awesome
Superb 🥰🥰🥰
I'd say that's too high for you. Do an hour and a half on a set up like that with elevations and your calfs would be on fire.
great
u r helpful
Good luck on your search going for the video and I will send the money thank u
Thanks I’m about to do this for my midterm just waiting for my name to be called
Thanks
Great perfect mam
Thanks.
Thank u
good ..i like ..
Reading Kaise le
thnx mam,,, you are great..
That is.sensesional set up
nice
cant tell if this is irish or british but i love the accent
when i level targets, i use the same levelling techniques. When i get to the long bubble levelling stage i centre the bubble on each plane but the circular bubble then goes off center. Is this normal or should i rethink how i level ? Or could it be a callibration issue?
Hi Wallzy, it could be several things. One possibility is that when you are rotating the target, you are not rotating it exactly through 90 degrees. Another is that when you are rotating the two footscrews at the same time, you are turning one slightly faster than the other without realising. Make sure you are doing them both at exactly the same rate otherwise you are actually tilting the bubble on the perpendicular axis at the same time but it is not showing up on the bubble. Another common problem is that the feet of your tripod are not stamped well into the ground. This can mean as you are moving around, your weight is causing minor movements of the ground. Another possibility is that the bubble itself is out of adjustment. Here's how to work with it if that is the case. Say you do the process correctly and when you get back to the original starting position the bubble is 2 full divisions out to the right. Bring the bubble back half of that distance, so in this case it will be 1 full division out to the right. Now continue as before, but for every position, instead of centring the bubble, set it 1 full division out to the right. If, when you get back to the starting point the bubble is still 1 division out to the right, that means the target is perfectly centred and perfectly level and is ok to use. Alternatively you can adjust the long bubble using a paperclip to turn the screw. Try all the other things first and if you need the instructions for adjusting the bubble, let me know. Saffron.
Your speed bubble is out. Go get it calibrated, or do it yoursf. Always go with what your plane bubble says. If you can turn it 360 and anywhere you stop, the bubble is between the two lines...you are level.
Your speed bubble is just off.
Very nice to you perform
Hello friend, I work as a surveyor in Belarus. Tell a friend which sites in the USA I should apply for to find a job as a surveyor, I worked only in geodetic support for construction along this profile, building houses, schools, kindergartens. Will they take me if I have a Belarusian diploma or do I need to retrain in the USA and where to go to retrain in the USA?
Deficiente manera de montar .
That height would be ok for an auto level for your height imo.
how to save yourself about 5 minutes of looking at the setup and actually doing it.
Step 1: Step on one leg first
2: lock on instrument
3: Use laser or optical plummet and adjust the 2 legs so that you are over that point.
You are only rough leveling over the point when initially setting up the legs its a waste of time.
Exactly. This guy gets it.

your ts is too high, it will make you hard to use it
Hi!
HOW TO INSTRUMENT SETTING BY USING 2 GPS POINTS
?
What instrument have you got and what do you need to do with it? Have you already got your 2 GPS points?
wow
Says rotate clockwise but rotates counter
Should take tribrack off total station first and level tripod with this first.
Nuts. Amature
That takes too long.
Yeah, no. If you cant set up in under 3 min...you aint my eyeman (perhaps in training...but not in practice).
Put the ts on your legs first...then position with one leg fixed, and the other two loose as a another commenter said.
Just push your legs in slowly, as not to bend your tribrack plate (jerky motion can bend it)
Machine is too high?less the height that is same as the height of your eye level in case of having any point that is coming near the setup location of Instrument.
It is a bit high. Not a lot, maybe by 2 or 3 inches. The eyepiece is at her forehead level when she is flatfooted. It should be eye level. Useable for a short term occupation, but it would get tiresome quickly.
Screw that. Id rather have it too low than high. Ive had to set up in mud, where if i moved, my legs would move...set up low and just contorted myself around the legs.
Settin up too high screws your knees, calves, back, neck...everything up if you are there for too long.
@@markmayer5788 dude, look at her eyelevel. Shed have to tippy toe to get good line on anything within 50 ft of her.
@@firghteningtruth7173 As I said so long ago - 2 or 3 inches lower would be ideal. Nevertheless this is still the best explanation of instrument setup that I've seen on youtube to date, even with a couple of things to quibble about. Meanwhile, it's always best to check your spelling carefully when composing flaming commentary.
@@markmayer5788 ? Wasnt flaming. Shoot back to back titles and 3 forms across the street and you would be DYING from tippy toein.
And this is MEHHHHHH. There are a couple much better ones. Perhaps this is the way you are "taught in school" to set up...
But in real life, everyone would roll their eyes at you and go....REAAAALLLLYYYYY?
Bro, I shot 7 titles the other day. This is WAYYYY too complex. None of my guys would get this. Its not simple, its not fast. Summarily. Its no good for the field.
Theres a pretty damn good one i found after this one. Ill try n find it and link it.
i dont understand why my lecturer is not letting us to adjust the legs of the tripod to easily adjust the bubble to the center.
I am total satiatan drive

STEP 1 Mounting TS
STEP 2 CENTERING & LEVELING
Levelling :
Position 1 - make bubble tube parallel to foot screws and turn foot screws aand B inward/outward simunteneously.
Position 2 - rotate TS though 90degree and use screw C to make bubble in level.
Position 3 - rotate TS 90degree again parallel to foot screws and use a and B to level bubble.
Position 4- rotate TS 90degrees and make bubble lelel using foot screw C
“Anti clockwise”
The opposite of clockwise is counterclockwise or anticlockwise. The movement is from the top to the left, then down, then to the right, and finally back up to the top. Get out of here
One sexy total station

If you need to watch this video, you shouldn't be taking shots lol

What a Tool ❗️
If I took that long to set up, my boss would have fired me. I agree with other comment, instrument was too high.
She took her hands off the instrument before securing it to the tripod. Epic fail less than 5 seconds after unboxing.
For sure. 1 hand til that screw is locked (at least).
Too short
Jeeeesus. If we did this crap id be fired.
Throw that puppy on them legs before you position em. Just dont friggin drop it. Saves you so much trouble.
If my eyeman cant set up in < 3min...he aint my eyeman. Hahah.
I can usually set up well enough to do a title in like 60 seconds.
If i was throwing control/tying pins at a distance...mayyybe 3 minutes?
And thats like 7 different repositions/levels.
And as for the using 2 thumbs at the same time....thats just silly. Make it simple. Use 1 at each position. Get one axis good, hit the other, then check to one of the inital 2 posts you used to level the first one.
Ezpz. Perhaps if you need EVERYTHING WITHIN A .01 this would be neccessary...but most construction is more than satisfied with .02. Even thats pretty tight.
Happy surveyin.
Oof
I don't know why you all telling that it's a "good job" and well explained. This is a fantasy position only achieved in perfect conditions, with flat terrain. You don't need to look trough the screw to see the point. You can achieve that by only fixing one leg and moving the other two while looking to aproximately(1-2cm center the station) and then you can center the station accurately with the 3 leveling screws...than you can level aproximately by ajusting the tripod. And finally leveling with the leveling screws and centering once more, by unscrew the center screw....this clip is bullshit, not mathmatics...
Very primitive
