3. SETTING-OUT MEASUREMENT

3.1Distance Setting-Out Measurement

The point can be found based on the horizontal angle from the reference direction and thedistance from the instrument station.

Procedure

Operation Procedure:

Input

SD

Target atreference pointand set 0 angle

Input Angle(betweenreference Ptand setout Pt)and Dist

Switch to SDsetout modeand measurethe setout point

4. OFFSET MEASUREMENT

4.1 Single-Distance Offset MeasurementWhen the offset point is positioned to left or right of the target point, make sure the angleformed by lines connecting the offset point to the target point and to the instrument stationis almost 90. When the offset point is positioned in front of or behind the target point,install the offset point on a line linking the instrument station with the target point.

Operation Procedure:

Input OBS.+OK Enter intoOffset/Dist andinput the offsetdistance

Measure the

4.2 Angle Offset Measurement Install offset points for the target point on the right and left sides of and as close aspossible to the target point. The target height and the height of offset points should beidentical.

Operation Procedure:

OBS. OK

4.3 Two-Distance Offset Measurement

Install two offset points (1 st target and 2 nd target) on a straight line from the target point,observe the 1 st target and 2 nd target, then enter the distance between the 2 nd target andthe target point to find the target point.

Enter intoOffset/Angleand target atprism

5. MISSING LINE MEASUREMENT

5.1 MLMTo measure the slope distance, horizontal distance, and height difference to a target from

the reference (point 1) without moving the instrument.

To find the height difference between 2 points, use a pole to make the target height of allthe targets It is possible to perform Missing Line Measurement by selecting 4. MLM from the Menumode.

Operation Procedure:

SD MLM

5.2 Slope between 2 points

It is possible to display the gradient of the starting position and target as a %.

Operation Procedure:

SD S/%

5.3 Changing the Starting Point It is possible to change the last measured point to the next starting point.

Operation Procedure:

MOVE YES

First 3 steps aresame as lastone

Get the gradient

6. REM MEASUREMENT

To measure the height to a point where a target can not be directly installed, for example aelectrical wire, bridge, etc.

Operation Procedure:

Input SD Sight the prismand measurethe distance

Enter into REMand sight at thetarget point.

Put prism aboveor below thetarget point andInput targetheight

7. RESECTION MEASUREMENT

7.1 ResectionResection is used to determine the coordinates of the instrument station by measuring

the known points.

NOTE Angle and distance can not be used crossways. When angle is in measuring, theknown point direction should be clockwise or anticlockwise, the angle between near 2 pointsshould be within 180.

The KTS-440 can calculate the instrument station coordinates by observing 2 to 4 knownpoints.

8. AREA CALCULATION

It is also possible to calculate the area of land enclosed by three or more known points ona line by manually inputting or reading the coordinates of the points.

Coordinates(Known value) P1 (N1, E1) Area (calculated value) SP2 (N2, E2)P3 (N3, E3)P4 (N4, E4)P5 (N5, E5)
