DEVICE FOR OFF-CENTER MEASUREMENTS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01C3/30 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of geodetic measurements, and also to the field of geodetic instrument making. The device for off-center measurements is fitted with a token having basis of known size on one end of which a radiator with radiation sources is installed the position of which is registered by an optical-electronic collimator of the measuring device is installed, on another end of the basis the radiation reception unit is installed which is similar to the corresponding optical-electronic collimator unit accepting the signal from the radiation sources installed in the fixed point of a location. The signal on position of the fixed point from the reception unit is sent for processing to the electronic system of the measuring device in which according the pre-set algorithm the calculation of the determined distances and horizontal angles is performed. Besides the radiation reception unit can be installed independently from the rod in the top part of the measuring device for observation and registration of coordinates of the points fixed on an object which are located directly above the measuring device, for example in a roof of mines, tunnels, etc.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is avoidance of mechanical centering of the measuring device, ie simplification of measurements.
