The need of total station to be carried in its case.
Explanation of Solution
Total station is used to perform horizontal and vertical measurements in reference to a grid system. For successful completion of the survey, it is important to take proper care of the equipment as the
During the transportation of the equipment, damage occurs when they are placed into or taken out of the vehicle.
When performing the survey, proper care should be taken while the total station is ejected from the tripod. The total station should never be transported on the tripod as this causes stress to a tripod, instrument base, and tribrach. The proper procedure for carrying equipment in the field is to take out the total station from the tripod and keep it inside the case. If precautions are ignored, then the entire result of the survey will be affected.
The base of the total station is protected by the three tribrach screws and thread for the tribrach to be attached to the tripod.
