6.1.1 Coordinates
On some construction sites, instead of or in combination with control lines, additional points are
marked out and their positions described by coordinates.
The coordinates used are generally based on the national coordinate system which is also usually
taken as a basis for maps of the country.
Height marks and control lines are generally marked out on and around the building plot by a
surveyor before construction begins.
Two ends are marked on the ground for each control line.
These marks are used to position the individual components of the building or structure. Large
buildings require a number of control lines.

Distance measurement targets can include prisms, positioning plates, reflective film as well as
normal surfaces, e.g. concrete walls.
To ensure correct distance measurement, the corresponding measuring targets must be chosen
correctly.
6.3.2 Targets
For distance measurement, there must be a direct line of sight between the objective and the
tool.
Prism objectives
Prisms can be used for both distance measurements and target tracking.
Target tracking works efficiently with 360 prisms as alignment of the prism is not required and
the operator can therefore concentrate much more on the measurement task at hand.
25
en
NOTE
Prisms always have a prism constant in relation to the inner optical path. To measure reliable
distances and/or target point positions, care must be taken to ensure that the correct prism with
the correct prism constant is selected and used.
Using the tool, safe distance measurements of up to approx. 300 m can be made to a reflector
plate covered with reflective film or to bonded reflective films, provided that the laser beam hits
the reflective film normally, that is at a vertical angle.
Normal surfaces
The laser beam takes measurements to normal surfaces, e.g. concrete walls, without the need
for a special reflector. Normal surfaces are considered to be those that are not highly reflective.
These surfaces may have a rough texture. Range depends on the reflectivity of the target surface,
i.e. only slightly reflective surfaces such as those with a blue, red or green color may reduce the
effective range.
The laser beam is capable of measuring to any stationary target. While a distance is being
measured, care must be taken to ensure that no other object is located in the laser beam.
6.3.3 Reflector rod
Reflector rods are used to measure to points on the ground.
The reflector rods are equipped either with a reflector+reflective film or with a prism and often
have a scale for the reflector height.
6.4 Height measurement
26
en
The height measurements take the vertical angleand the slope distance in conjunction with the
instrument height and thereflector height into account.
dH = COS(VA)*SD+HIHR+(corr)
In order to calculate the absolute height of the target point (point on the ground), the station
height (Stat H) is added to the delta height.
H = Stat H + dH
6.5 Guide light
Similarly, these measured points and their position descriptions are used in applications such as
Layout or to define station locations.
Hilti total stations incorporate various features that facilitate and speed up the process of selecting
points.

7.8.1 Setting up over a mark on the floor or ground using the laser plummet
The tool should always be set up over a point marked on the floor or ground so that in case of
measurement deviations it is possible to fall back on the data for the station or orientation point.
The tool features a laser plummet that is switched on automatically together with the tool.
7.8.2 Setting up the tool 9
1. Set up the tripod with the center of the tripod head approximately over the point marked on
the ground.
2. Mount the tool on the tripod by tightening the tripod screw, switch the tool on and switch the
laser plummet on.
3. Move two of the tripod legs with your hands until the laser beam strikes the mark on the
ground.
NOTE Take care to ensure that the tripod head remains approximately horizontal.
4. Then press the points of the tripod legs into the ground by applying pressure with your foot.
5. Adjust the footscrews to eliminate any deviation of the laser point from the mark on the
ground. The laser point must then be exactly in the center of the mark on the ground.
6. The circular bubble level can be centered by adjusting the tripod legs.
NOTE This is done by extending or retracting the leg at the opposite side of the tripod,
depending on the direction in which the bubble is to be moved. This process may have to be
repeated several times until the desired result is achieved.
7. Once the circular bubble level has been centered, align the laser plummet exactly with the
mark on the ground by shifting the position of the tool laterally on the tripod plate.
8. Before the tool can be started, the electronic circular bubble level must be centered by
turning the footscrews so that the tool is reasonably level.
NOTE The arrows show in which direction the tribrach footscrews require to be turned in
order to center the bubbles.
The tool can be started once this has been achieved.
9. Once the electronic circular bubble level has been centered, check that the laser plummet
is aligned exactly with the mark on the ground and shift the position of the tool laterally on
the tripod plate if necessary.

NOTE
In the event of uncertainty the tool should be returned to Hilti Service for checking.
8.6 Hilti Calibration Service
We recommend that the tool is checked by the Hilti Calibration Service at regular intervals in
order to verify its reliability in accordance with standards and legal requirements.
Use can be made of the Hilti Calibration Service at any time, but checking at least once a year is
recommended.
The Calibration Service provides confirmation that the tool is in conformance, on the day it is
tested, with the specifications given in the operating instructions.
The tool will be readjusted if deviations from the manufacturers specification are found.
After checking and adjustment, a calibration sticker applied to the tool and a calibration certificate provide written verification that the tool operates in accordance with the manufacturers
specification.
Calibration certificates are always required by companies certified according to ISO 900x. Your
local Hilti Center or representative will be pleased to provide further information.
8.7 Setting the prisms
NOTE
The prism settings are necessary as different prisms require different corrections for calculating
distances. These corrections are mainly the prism constants that can be entered manually for the
operator's prism.
8.8 Search parameter settings
One of the most important functions of the motorized total station is prism tracking and prism
search. To optimize the prism search, various parameters can be adjusted.

With this setting the light flashes only if there is a loss of connection to the prism - otherwise it is
off. In the activated state, a person can see either the green or the red light, depending on which
side of the sighting line the person is located. A person is in the sighting line if both colors can be
seen at the same time.

9.2 Compensator
The tool is equipped with a dual-axis, electronic bubble level = compensator.
This compensator measures the slope of the tool. Following leveling of the tool, precise remaining
inclinations are measured which are then used to calculate the corresponding angle corrections
39
for steeper sightings. Faulty measurements can result from unstable surfaces, e.g. formwork. To
avoid this, the compensator can be switched off. However, this means that no angle corrections
are made for steeper sightings.
en
Settings
Setting options
NOTE
For horizontal sightings, the residual inclination of the tool has no effect on the angle measurement.
9.3 Laser pointer
The tool is equipped with an EDM with various settings, depending on the objective. With the EDM
setting reflectorless measuring (RL), the visible laser beam can be switched on permanently =
laser pointer.
The laser pointer can be used indoors as a visible measuring and layout point.
WARNING
The laser pointer belongs to laser class 3R.
Avoid direct eye contact.
9.4 Correction of atmospheric influences
The tool uses laser light to measure distances. As a fundamental principle, when light passes
through the air, its speed is changed due to the density of the air. This influence varies according
to the air density. Air density depends to a great extent on air pressure and air temperature and
to a significantly lesser extent on air humidity. If distances are to be measured accurately, it is
essential that atmospheric influences are taken into account. The tool calculates and corrects the
corresponding distances automatically, but the temperature and pressure of the surrounding air
must first be entered. These parameters can be entered in various units.
When the ppm button is pressed, atmospheric parameters can be entered to correct each
distance measured by the corresponding ppm variable. Select the applicable units and enter the
pressure and temperature (see table).

en
The tool is positioned at a point defined by coordinates P0 and, for the purpose of orientation,
is aimed at another point defined by coordinates P1. The tool calculates the position within the
coordinate system.
For better identification of the orientation point, the distance can be measured and compared
with the distance calculated from the coordinates. This makes correct selection of the target point
more reliable.
NOTE
If the coordinate point P0 also has a height, this will first be used as the station height. The height
of the station can be redetermined and changed at any time before the station is set finally.
10.2.3 Setting a station anywhere
Setting the station anywhere allows the position of the station to be defined by measuring
the angles and distances to two reference points. The ability to set the station anywhere is
used when it is not possible to set it over a point or when the line of sight to the points to be
measured is obstructed. Extra care must be taken when setting the station anywhere. Additional
measurements are taken in order to set the station anywhere. Additional measurements always
present a risk of errors. Care must also be taken to ensure that the geometry of the situation
allows a usable position to be achieved.
The tool checks the basic geometric relationships in order to ensure that a usable position can
be calculated and issues a warning in critical situations. Nevertheless, the user of the tool is
obliged to exercise special caution in this respect as the software is not capable of recognizing
all potentially critical situations.
Setting up the tool anywhere
An unobstructed and convenient location should be chosen for setting up the tool, where two
coordinate points are clearly visible and where a good line of sight to the points to be measured
can be ensured as far as possible. It is recommended that a mark is always first made on the
ground or floor and the tool then set up over this mark. This allows the position to be checked
subsequently in the event of uncertainties.
45
en
The tool is positioned at any desired point P0 and is then used to measure, one after the other,
the angle and distance to two reference points with known coordinates P1 and P2. The position
of the tool P0 is then calculated from the measurements taken to the two reference points.
10.2.4 Set station
The station is always saved in internal memory. If the station name already exists in memory, the
station must be renamed. i.e. a new name assigned to it.
10.3 Setting up the tool with height
If heights are also to be used in addition to setting the station and orientation, i.e. target heights
are to be determined or laid out, the height of the center of the telescope must also be defined.
Methods for setting the height
If the height of the point on the floor or ground is known when setting up over a point on the
floor or ground, the height of the tool is measured. The height of the center of the telescope
is the sum of these two values.
If the height of the point on the floor or ground is not known, e.g. when setting up anywhere,
the height at the center of the telescope can be determined and transferred back to the tool
by measuring the angle and distance to a point or mark for which the height is known.
46
@
;
=
%
NOTE
When the Heights option is active, a height must be assigned to the station, i.e. a height value
must exist. If a station height is not set or available, a fault message appears with the prompt to
set the station height.
11 Applications
11.1 Horizontal layout
Horizontal layout operation is used to transfer data from the plan to the actual object or building
plot. The data from the plans are positions that are described using coordinates. The data from the
plans and layout positions can be entered using coordinates, transferred from a PC or imported
from a USB data storage device. Plan data in the form of CAD drawings can be transferred to the
total station from the PC and the applicable graphical points for the layout then selected from the
display of the tool. This makes working with long numbers or lots of numbers unnecessary.
11.1.1 Principle of the layout procedure
In principle, the Hilti total station system POS 150/180 comes with two different layout procedures
- prism or laser mode - depending on the EDM mode.
Layout procedure
Layout with prism (see section 11.1.2)
With the prism, points are set out when they are either outside or on the ground - that is,
when work can be carried out with a prism and a rod.
Layout with a visible laser pointer including distance measurement (see section 11.1.3)
The laser pointer is used particularly for setting out indoors, where the laser spot can be seen
most clearly, for example in large industrial buildings. The total station is suitable for use at
distances of over 5 m and where there are suitable light conditions, for example, not in bright
sunlight.
11.1.2 Setting out (layout) with prism
In this procedure, the EDM is set to Autolock and prism search is activated on the controller
using the search button in order to set up the optical connection between the prism and the total
station.
Before you can start setting out, the total station should be locked onto the prism, i.e. the
total station tracks the prism. Setting out with the prism corresponds to navigation to the layout
position.

en
NOTE
To avoid having to align the prism constantly with the tool, it makes sense to work with a 360
prism.

NOTE
Switch the EDM to laser mode here at the latest. This can be done either in the dialog FindMe
or in the dialog FNC.
Once entry of the layout point has been confirmed, the laser point is directly aligned to the target
position, if the station has been used with height settings. Otherwise the currently targeted area
is used.
The target position is only valid if the target point is directly on the target surface area. If this is not
the case, the current position is compared with the target position. If the position is outside the
set layout tolerance, this is displayed in an additional dialog. The operator can decide whether the
plumb point should be steered onto the current surface. If the plumb position is to be selected,
the laser point is projected in iteration steps onto the plumbline of the specified target point on
the current surface.
The following sketch shows how the plumb position is reached from the entered target position
(black dot) in 3 iteration steps.
NOTE
Pay attention to the layout tolerance entry.
As soon as the difference in positions is within the layout tolerance, the iteration process is
completed.

11.3 Measure and record
Point measurements with the prism can be carried out by tracking the prism with the EDM in
auto mode and taking a measurement and saving data at each position. Alternatively, a prism
can be manually sighted and the EDM operated in manual mode.
58
en
Point measurements with the visible laser can be carried out manually using the motorized drives
or the remote control joystick.
When carrying out point measurements, it is essential to ensure that the laser spot lines up with
the cross hairs. If this is not the case, the tool must be recalibrated by the Hilti repair service.
The Measure and record application can be started by pressing the corresponding button in
the application menu.

NOTE
The points must be measured in such a way that the lines between the measured points do not
cross each other, otherwise an incorrect area measurement will result.
NOTE
The station does not have to be set for this application.
The horizontal area is calculated by projecting the measured points in the horizontal plane.
The points must be measured in a sequence that encloses an area.
For the calculation, enclosure of the area is always completed by an imaginary line between the
last measured point and the first measured point.

11.6 Reference line
The reference line application is an application that deals with the handling of lines and curves.
The reference line application can be used to calculate and set out control lines using coordinates,
to record control lines marked on the construction site and to move lines in a defined way. In
addition, points with longitudinal and lateral dimensions with reference to the defined control line
can be set out directly.
This is particularly easy when the control line is previously defined as a graphical line or curve
using coordinates. The lines and curves can then be selected by the press of a finger without
having to re-enter the lines or curves again when changes are made.
11.6.1 Principle of the reference line
Control line definition
Methods for defining the control line for lines and curves
Line (2 points)
Curve (2 points + radius)
Curve (3 points)
NOTE
If the line or curve items are defined with points at different heights, the height is interpolated
accordingly, depending on the longitudinal value.
Moving the control line
According to the control line definition, the control line can still be moved in three directions and
can be rotated once.

Points are then generated from the graphical data, i.e. lines, curves etc.
Hilti PROFIS Layout offers the possibility of using CAD graphics to generate point data from end
points, line intersections, mid points of line segments and points on circles, etc.
The point data generated in this way is placed visibly on the original graphics elements from CAD.
The data in a CAD format can exist in various layers. When this data is transferred to Hilti
PROFIS Layout it is merged into a single layer.
NOTE
When organizing the data on the PC before it is transferred to the tool, special care must be taken
to ensure that the density of the point data is as to be expected in the final result.
3. Importing data from tables or text files
Point data can be imported into Hilti PROFIS Layout from text or XML files and then transferred
to the total station.
12.3.3 With Hilti Point Creator
The software Hilti Point Creator is a plug-in that can be installed in AutoCAD from version
2010. Hilti Point Creator is used to extract points with coordinates from 2D and 3D drawings. In
addition, descriptions (attributes) for these positions are taken from the AutoCAD 2D/3D model.
The attributes are taken from Hilti products - see the Hilti BIM/CAD library. For Hilti products,
the Hilti product item number, product designation and product type are taken. In addition, more
general attributes are taken, for example layer name and color of the graphic element in the
AutoCAD model.
Point data can be created directly from 2D or 3D CAD models. This point data is exported from
the AutoCAD software with the help of the Hilti Point Creator in various formats.
Hilti Point Creator output formats for points
Text format with attributes (*.txt)
Excel format with attributes (*.csv)

Procedure
1. Once you have calibrated the compensator, select setting 3 target axis and calibrate the
VA collimation. Follow the instructions on the controller screen
2. Line up the selected target carefully in the cross hairs in telescope position I, and follow the
instructions on the screen.
3. Once the measurement in position I has been completed, the total station automatically turns
to position II.
4. Line up the selected target carefully in the cross hairs in telescope position II, and follow the
instructions on the screen.
5. The total station rotates back into position I and calculates and displays the new correction
values.
6. Decide whether you want to use the new values or keep the old calibration values.
16.2.3 Calibrating the prism tracker
The prism tracker is the automatic prism targeting and tracking function. The prism tracker error
results when the prism tracker target axis deviates from the optical target axis.
The appliance may only be calibrated using one of the prisms supplied by Hilti. The safest is the
large 360 prism POA 20 at a distance of 50 70 m without direct sunlight on the prism or in the
objective lens aperture.
NOTE
To calibrate the prism tracker, the target axis and VA collimation must first be calibrated.
