Total Station Instruction Manual
Dear Customer:
Congratulations! We, STONEX are proud to present you with a R25
instrument. Your total station is a rugged and reliable instrument whose
performance and design are not surpassed.
To fully appreciate and protect your investment, we suggest that you take the
necessary time to read and fully understand this manual. We have a dedicated
service organization. If the need arises, please don’t hesitate to call us.
Thank you for your trust and confidence.
NOTE:
Don’t collimate the sun directly
Avoid insolating the instrument, and don’t collimate the sun directly for protecting eyes
and instrument.
Set up the instrument on the tripod
When using it please insure the connection between tripod and instrument is firm. It is
better to work with wooden tripod for the measurement accuracy.
Assemble the tribrach on the instrument
The setting of tribrach would influence the accuracy.The tribrach should be check
frequently, the screw which connects the tribrach and alidade must be locked tightly. And
the central fixing screw should be tight.
Avoiding the librations on the instrument
When transporting, keep the instrument in the case and try your best to lighten librations.
Carry the instrument
When carrying，the instrument handle must be held tight.
High temperature condition
If put the instrument in high temperature condition for a long time, it is bad for the
instrument performance.
Temperature changing sharply
The sharp temperature changing on the instrument or prism will shorten the distance
measurement range, for example, after taking the instrument out from a warm car to a
cold condition, wait for some time, it can be used when it adapts to the surrounding
condition.
Check the battery power
Before using it, you should check the power whether it is enough.
Take out the battery
It is not suggested to take out the battery when the instrument is on, otherwise, the stored
data may be lost, so it is better to replace the battery after power off the instrument.
Stored data responsibility
STONEX should not be held liability for the lost data because of wrong operation.
The noise from the instrument
When the instrument is working, it is normal if you hear the noise from instrument motor,
it will not affect the instrument work.

2. Preparation before Measurement
2.1About Battery
2.1.1 Battery Power Symbol
Measurement is possible
The battery is lower, it is better to replace or recharge it
Measurement is impossible, it is necessary to replace or recharge battery
Note:
1)The battery’s working time will be affected by many factors, such as ambient
temperature, recharging time, recharging and discharging times. So we suggest the users
recharge the battery full or prepare several full batteries before operation.
2)The battery symbol only indicates power capability for current measurement mode. The
power consumption in distance measurement mode is more than in angle mode, if the
instrument enters into distance measurement mode from angle mode, the power maybe
auto-off because of lower battery.
3)The symbol only indicates the supply power but not the instantaneous power change.
12
And if the measurement mode changes, the symbol will not show the power’s decrease or
increase immediately.
4)It is suggested that user should check every battery power before field work.
2.1.2 Replace and mount battery
1）Replace battery
①Press the button downward as shown left.
②Remove the battery by pulling it toward you.
2) Mount battery
① Insert the battery to the instrument.
② Press the top of the battery until you hear a click.
2.1.3 Recharge battery
1)Connect the charger connector to the battery.
2)Plug the charger on 100V/240 power supply.The red lamp
becomes lighting,which indicates recharging.If interval-time is longer,the connector isn’t
fixed well.
3) That the green lamp flashes means recharging is complete.
Note:
1 New battery (or battery does not used for several months) should be recharged for
several times.Please recharge it more than 10 hours, and then the battery can attain best
status.
2 Please recharge the battery continuously for another 1~2 hours after the light
green,which is good for the battery.

2.6 Pointsearch
Pointsearch is a global function used by applications to e.g. find internally saved
measured or fixed points.It is possible for the user to limit the point search to a particular
job or to search the whole storage.The search procedure always finds fixed points before
measured points that fulfill the same search criteria. If several points meet the search
criteria, then the points are listed according to their age. The instrument finds the most
current (youngest ) fixed point first.
Direct search
By entering an actual point number (e.g. "A10") all points with the corresponding point
number are found.
17
[VIEW]:Displays the coordinates of the selected point.
[ENH]:For manual input of coordinates.
[JOB]:To select a different job.
[ENT]:Confirm selected point.
2.7 Wildcard search
The Wildcard search is indicated by a "*". The asterisk is a place holder for any following
sequence of characters.Wildcards are always used if the point number is not fully known,
or if a batch of points is to be searched for.
Examples:
* : All points of any length are found.
PT :All points with exactly the point number "PT" are found.
PT* :All points of any length starting with "PT" are found (e.g.:PT1, PT12, PTAB).
*1 :All points of any length with a "1" as the second character are found (e.g.: A1, B12,
A1C).
A*1 :All points of any length with an "A" as the first character and a "1" as the third
character are found. (e.g.:AB1, AA123, AT17).
2.8 Measuring
After switching on and setting up correctly, the Total Station is immediately ready for
measuring.On the measurement display it is possible to call up functions of fixed keys
and function keys.
3 Function key
Under “FUNC” menu several functions can be
activated.Functions can also be started directly from the
different applications.Each function from the FUNC
18
menu can be assigned to the “USER” key.The detailed applications are described below.
1) Level/Plummet
This function triggers the electronic bubble and enables the settings of intensity for the
laser plummet.
2) Target Offset
If it is not possible to set up the reflector directly, or it is not possible to aim at the target
point directly, the offset values(length, cross and/or height offset) can be entered. The
values for the angle and distances are calculated directly for the target point.
OP
L_Off-
T_Off
MP
L_Off+
T_Off+
MP: Measurement point
OP: Offset point
T_Off: Length offset
L_Off: Cross offset
H_Offset +: Offset point is higher than measurement
Procedure:
1.Input the offset values (length, cross and/or height) according to the sketch.
2.Define the period during which the offset is to apply.Two modes are available:Reset and
Forever.Reset:The offset values are reset to 0 after the point is saved.Forever:The offset
values are applied to all further measurements.
3.[RESET]: Sets eccentricity to zero.
4.[ENT]:Calculate the corrected values and jump to the application from which the offset
function was started.The corrected angle and distances are displayed once a valid distance
measurement has been triggered.
3) Target Set
19
Change among three types(Prism,Sheet and NoPrism).
Prism:Distance measurements with prisms.

4.2.2 Measuring Duties
1) Surveying
With this program the measurement of
an unlimited number of points is
supported.It is comparable to “Meas &
Rec”,but
includes
stationing,orientation and coding.
Procedure:
①Input PtID,codes and reflector height if demanded.
② [ALL] Trigger and record measurements.
[IndivPt] Switch between individual and current point number.
Three coding methods are available:
① Simple coding:
Input a code into the relevant box.The code is stored along with the corresponding
measurement.
② Expanded coding:
Press the [CODE] softkey.The code that was input can be searched for within the codelist
and it gives the possibility to add attributes to the code.
③ Quick coding:
Press the [Q-Code] softkey and enter the shortcut to the code. The code is selected and
the measurement starts.
2) Stake Out
This program calculates the required elements to stake out points from coordinates or
manually entered angles, horizontal distances and heights.Stake out differences can be
displayed continuously.
Stake out coordinates from memory.
Procedure:
◄► Select the point.
[DIST] Start measuring and calculation of the stake-out elements.
[REC] Save the displayed values.
[B&D] Input direction and Hz-distance of stake out point.
[MANUAL] Enable simplified input of a point without PtID and without the possibility
of storing the data of the point.

▲N:Northing offset between stake out and actual point.
3) Free Station
The application is used to determine the instrument position from measurements to a
minimum of two known points and a maximum of five known points.
Station
The following measurements sequences to target points are possible:
a)Horizontal and Vertical angles only (resection)
b)Distances and Horizontal and Vertical angles (3 points resection)
c)Horizontal and Vertical angles to some point(s) and Horizontal and Vertical angles plus
distances to other point(s).
The final computed results are Easting,Northing and Height of the present instrument
station,including the instruments Horizontal Circle Orientation.Standard deviations and
residuals for accuracy assessments are provided.
①Measuring facilities
Single face I or II or dual face I + II measurements are always possible.No specific point
sequence or specific face sequences are required.Gross errors checks are made for dual
face measurements to ensure the same point(s) are sighted with the other face.
Note:If a target point is measured several times in the same telescope position the last
valid measurement is used for computation.
Measurement Disciplines:
27
•2 face measurements
When measuring the same target in both faces,the reflector height mustn’t be changed
when changing the telescope position.
•Target points with 0.000 height
Target points with 0.000 height are discarded for height processing.If target points have a
valid height of 0.000 m,use 0.001 m to enable it for height processing.
②Computation procedure
The measuring procedure automatically determines the method of evaluation,e.g.
resection,3 point resection,etc.If more than the minimum required measurements are
performed,the processing routine uses a least squares adjustment to determine the plane
position and averages orientation and heights.
a)The original averaged measurements of face I and face II are called into the
computation process.
b)All measurements are treated with the same accuracy,whether these are measured in
single or dual face.
c)Easting and northing is determined by the method of least squares,including standard
deviation and improvements for horizontal direction and horizontal distances.
d)The final height (H) is computed from averaged height differences based on the original
measurements.
e)The horizontal circle orientation is computed with the original averaged measurements
of face I and face II and the final computed plane position.
Procedure:
a)Set job
b)Set accuracy limit:
28
Here you can define a limit for the standard deviation values.If the calculated deviation
exceeds the limit,a warning dialog box ejects,which reminds you whether to proceed or
not.
c)Input of the name of the station and the height of the instrument.
d)Input of the target PtID and the reflector height.
e)Measure
[ALL]:Trigger angle and distance measurements(3 point resection).

This program facilitates the easy stake out or checking of lines for buildings, sections of
road,simple excavations, etc.
①Reference Line
A reference line can be defined by referencing a known base line.The reference line can
be offset either longitudinally, in parallel or perpendicularly to the base line, or be rotated
around the first base point as desired.Besides the reference height can be selected
as first point, second point or interpolated along the reference line.
Procedure:

This application is used to describe and determine road centerlines.As shown,there are
two models available for definition of road(2D):Main Point,Intersection Point.
[1] Main Point
This application utilizes main point information relative to the line to describe the entire
road.Main point is the key point where the linetype changes along with the line.It includes
start point,end point and so on.This method can solve any complicated linetype including
ramp.In the dialog of View Road(2D)-Main Point,existed main points only can be
available for scan and deletion but not edit.

not be included certain characters “K”、“k” and “+” etc.For example,2224.224 can be
input instead of K2+224.224.
47
LineType:The lifetype of route preceding main point(Big stake mark direction) can be
selected from four options:Line,Circle(Round Curve),Spiral(Easement Curve) and End
Point.
Radius:Except the end point of route,the “Radius” of any point represents the radius of
curvature(“R” in the below figure) of one side preceding main point(Big stake mark
direction).When route turns left,the radius will be negative;Conversely,the radius will be
positive.When radius of curvature is infinite,the radius value should be set
to:99999999.999 or -99999999.999.
North:Ordinate of main point
East:Abscissa of main point
[2] Intersection Point
This application is to describe the entire road with informaiton of intersection point of the
route.This method is appropriate for the linetype whose intersection points are
symmetrical,and start point and end point of the route must be on the straight line segment
or its vertex points.That intersection points are symmetrical means their corresponding
tangent lines are equilong.In the dialog of View Road(2D)-Intersection,existed main
points only can be available for scan and deletion but not edit.
[ADD]:Input of new intersection point,as shown in the below figure.
[DELETE]:Delete current displayed intersection point and other intersection points whose
mileage is larger than the current one,the erased data can’t resume.It's worth noting

the place of start point and end point of route,the curvature radius value must be set
to:99999999.999 or -99999999.999.
Spiral len:Easement curve length relevant to intersection point.Set to 0 in the situation
where there’s no easement curve.
Note:1.When using intersection point method,input data successively in accordance with
mileage(small to large) of intersection point.And the first and the last intersection point
must be on the straight line segment of the road centreline.
2.When using main point method,you can input data out of accordance with
mileage of main point,but don’t miss out any main point finally.It's recommended to input
data successively according to mileage magnitude in support of check and verification.
3.The datum input with main point method can’t be viewed and edited in the
form of intersection point method,i.e.,intersection point method will be disabled if import
in the form of main point;But differently the datum entered in the form of intersection
point can be viewed and added in the form of main point,except for deletion.
4.Affected by precision of turn angle,there may exists deviation in main point
datum converted by intersection point datum.
5.No matter what kind of method(main point or intersection point) you
choose,normal stake out and measuring can be executed based on the requirement of input
49
of at least two valid records(two valid main points or intersection points).
6.It is advisable to input data with main point method and directly upload
plane alignment data to instrument with desktop tool.The plane alignment data uploaded
directly can’t be viewed and edited in the form of intersection point.
7.No matter what kind of method(main point or intersection point),its
maximum mileage mustn’t be greater than 4294000.000m,i.e.,the route’s maximum
mileage mustn’t be more than K4294+000.000m.

10)Lead Measure
This application is used for survey of hierarchical control traversing and mapping
traversing etc. and adjustment and computation of closure.
①Introduction
a)fundamental
·Station distribution method(closure adjustment method of azimuth )
·Distance distribution method(closure adjustment method of coordinate)
b)Applied Characteristics
[1]Program Capacity
·Six sets of observation is upper limit to every survey station.
·The maximum number of observing directions is 2 as for survey station(i.e. only traverse
point measuring supported except for branch point measuring).
·The maximum number of survey stations is 30 as for single lead.
55
[2]Available lead type
Side whose azimuth is
Point whose coordinate is
known

Ⅰ.Coordinates of occupied point and backsight point of the first survey station are
known,so are coordinates of occupied point and foresight point of the last survey station.
Ⅱ.Coordinates of the first traverse point(point 1) and the last one(point 5) on the lead are
known.
Ⅲ.Coordinates of the first traverse point(point 1) on the lead and another point(point 0)
off the lead are known.
1（6）
Note:As to this type of traverse measuring,the last survey station must be measured again
on where point 1 is,but occupied point can’t be set to point 1,otherwise this operation will
make measurements of the first survey station covered.For example,occupied point of the
last survey station can be set to point 6 whose coordinate inputting is the same as point
56
1’s.
Ⅳ.Coordinates of occupied point and backsight point of the first survey station are
known,namely,it’s open(branch) traverse as shown in below figure.

tightening, and anticlockwise turning is for loosening, the turning mount for tightening or
loosening should be same.
②After the reticle adjustment, it is necessary to adjust the vertical index error by program.
9.1.2 Vertical Index Error
The deviation between vertical circle zero position and horizontal direction is vertical
index (i), it is necessary to concern this error when measure vertical angle. The instrument
program applied a formula to remove this error. This correction can offer the index for the
formula.
Warning: Before starting this operation, be sure to read manual carefully, otherwise it may
cause data faulty.
Because of the close relationship between vertical index and compensator zero position, it
is necessary to check and adjust compensator zero position when adjust the vertical circle,
the value should be stable when reading.

Appendix I: Atmospheric correction formula and chart(Just for
reference)
Factory setting:
temperature: 20℃, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm （RTS）
temperature: 20℃, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm （RTS）
The correction:
Kpt＝274.417-0.2905*p/(1＋0.0036*t)……………….. RTS
Kpt＝278.960-0.2902*p/(1＋0.0036*t)………………...RTS
Where: p--Pressure value (hPa)
t--Temperature value (℃)
Kpt--Atmospheric correction (ppm)
Example:
t=20℃, p=1013hpa, L0=1000m.
Then:
Kpt=0ppm (RTS)
Kpt=4ppm (RTS)
L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000×(1+0×10-6)=1000.000m (RTS)
L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000×(1+4×10-6)=1000.004m (RTS)
The atmospheric value is obtained easily with the atmospheric correction chart.
Find the measured temperature in horizontal axis, and pressure in vertical axis on
the chart.
Read the value from the diagonal line, which is the required atmospheric
correction value.
