SETX30R/X10 Stakeout by Coordinate

Stakeout by CoordinateDuring this brief presentation we will discuss the utilization of the on-board stake-out functions of the new Sokkia Set instruments. The SF-14 Wireless Keyboard is recommended.

Stakeout by CoordinateThis presentation assumes a couple of things;We have known coordinates on the sight1 for the Station1 for the back sight

Stakeout by CoordinateEnter the known values for each point you wish to stakeout. ESC When complete to close the screen

You can do this ahead in the office, upload from a computer or on the fly during the day. The point for this exercise is to start with two.

Stakeout by CoordinateEnsure the values are correct before recording them to memory. This should also include point numbers. There is nothing worse than trying to keep track of different point numbers on the same point. If your coordinate sheet is in XYZ instead of NEZ dont worry remember that Y is N and X is E. Elevation is always Z.

OBS does initiate a measurement. Sight on your back sight before proceeding. Highlight and select the station you are set-up over.Edit the Inst H and TGT H values for the measured heights of the instrument and the prism.OK

Stakeout by CoordinateINFOThere are numerous options for display in the S-O menu. You can stakeout by S Dist and H angle, V dist and H angle, H dist and H angle, by entered coordinate and simply a desired elevation. For a complete breakdown refer to the manual, nobody likes manuals but this exercise is suppose to be brief.

Stakeout by CoordinateThe mapped function keys on the instrument for the Stakeout screen are as follows:F1 OBS ObservationF2 S-O (Previous slide)F3 arrows These indicate which way the rod man must move to get to the point. An arrow to the right means he move to the instrument mans right. An arrow up=out and arrow down =in. Cut and fill is also displayed.F4 REC To record the staked point

Stakeout by CoordinateRotate the instrument to the required HAR and have the rodman move on line.When the rodman is on line select F1 OBS Notice the difference between the required and measured values and have the rodman move accordingly.

Stakeout by CoordinateRepeat this process of nip and tuck until the move indicators are as close to zero as possible or within reason.When you are satisfied with the results stake it and have the rodman write the cut or fill on the stake.

Stakeout by CoordinateDo you need to record the as staked values?Select F4 REC Do not use the same point number. Use a new point number and indicate the design point number in the code field.Repeat the S-O procedures until complete.

Discussion topicsContractor stakeoutSF14 versus on board key pad.

Briefly touch on the fact the method of one station and an azimuth is possible but most sites have two at the least.Very important to review the basic functions of the instrument before beginning.
