1.
In the Road Settings, TS specific page, select Automatic behav-
iour: Prompt before turn.
Make sure that the instrument uses the reflectorless EDM mode.
2.
After staking out the peg at the correct position with Prompt
before turn, aim the instrument at the peg.
3.
Press Fn Position to open the Settings panel.
4.
Settings
Highlight Height (aim to stake ht).
5.
Press OK.
The instrument searches for the point on the peg at the required
height without changing the horizontal direction.
As soon as the defined Upper height limit/Lower height limit
from Road Settings, Quality control is reached, the instrument
stops.
Depending on the settings chosen, the instrument turns on the red
laser to mark the height.

Working with Shifts

When working on site, often design data does not match the measured data.
For example, an existing road surface that should intersect with the design sur-
face may be 15 cm higher than the plans indicate. To guarantee a smooth
intersection, this difference has to be distributed over the remaining 100m of
paving. To handle these situations, shifts can be added to the existing design
data. A shift is applied when selecting the element to stake out/check.
Horizontal and vertical shifts can be applied to the selected element. By using
these shifts the design can be lifted/lowered and moved horizontally.
A shift is always an overlay of the existing design and is stored with the task.
For a horizontal alignment, the shift is applied perpendicular to the centreline.
For the vertical part of the alignment, shifts are applied following the plumb
line.
Shifts are applied temporarily to the design data. The original design data is
not modified when a shift is applied.
Press Shifts in the Define panel.
The parameters required for applying the shift are identical for all entities.
