It can be used to measure existing ground features, establish control points, set out design positions and verify construction geometry. SingularPad software also supports road stakeout and coordinate calculation workflows. These functions are useful for road alignments, drainage installations, utility works, foundations and other infrastructure projects requiring accurate optical measurements.

Yes. The SingularXYZ STS2 uses optical angle measurement and electronic distance measurement rather than satellite positioning to determine survey points. It can therefore operate in areas where GNSS reception is obstructed, such as near tall buildings, beneath bridges or inside suitable indoor environments. The instrument requires a clear line of sight to the target and a properly established survey station. Known control coordinates or an appropriate local coordinate system are needed when measurements must be connected to a specific reference system.

The SingularXYZ STS2 includes a telescope with 30x optical magnification, a 1-degree 30-minute field of view and a minimum focusing distance of 1.5 meters. The telescope provides an upright image and is designed for accurate manual sighting of surveying prisms and other targets. Its optical magnification is useful for identifying targets over longer distances during topographic surveys, construction layout and control measurements.

Yes. The SingularXYZ STS2 includes a dual-axis electronic compensator using a liquid-electric sensor. The compensator has a specified working range of ±6 arcminutes and a correction resolution of 1 arcsecond. It helps correct small instrument tilts during surveying and contributes to reliable angle measurements. Proper instrument leveling and a stable tripod setup remain essential because the compensator cannot correct large setup errors or unstable positioning.

Yes. The SingularXYZ STS2 includes a laser plummet as standard equipment for centering the total station over a survey point. The laser plummet uses a 635 nm Class 2 laser with five adjustable brightness levels and a specified centering accuracy of ±1.5 mm at a distance of 1.5 meters. An optical plummet is also available as an alternative configuration. Accurate centering is important when establishing survey stations and performing control measurements.

The SingularXYZ STS2 features two 2.7-inch LCD displays, one on each side of the instrument. Both sides include illuminated alphanumeric keyboards with 29 keys. This dual-sided arrangement allows operators to view measurement information and control the instrument from either telescope position. The displays have a specified resolution of 160 × 96 pixels. Backlit keys help improve usability in low-light surveying conditions.

The SingularXYZ STS2 offers different EDM measurement modes. Its specified tracking measurement time is approximately 0.2 seconds, while fine measurement takes approximately 1.2 seconds under reference conditions. Tracking mode is useful when monitoring changing distance readings or positioning a prism during stakeout. Fine measurement is intended for precise observations. Actual measurement time can vary depending on target conditions, visibility and the selected measurement mode.

The SingularXYZ STS2 weighs approximately 6.0 kg and measures 206 × 200 × 353 mm. Its housing integrates the optical telescope, electronic distance measurement system, dual-sided displays, keyboards, compensator and laser plummet.

SingularPad also supports compatible SingularXYZ GNSS receivers, allowing optical and GNSS measurements to be managed within a coordinated surveying workflow.

Yes. The SingularXYZ STS2 can be used alongside compatible RTK GNSS receivers through SingularPad field surveying software. This allows surveyors to combine optical total station measurements and GNSS survey points within the same project and coordinate reference system. GNSS can be used for measuring suitable open-sky locations, while the total station can measure points where satellite reception is limited or a clear optical measurement is preferred. The STS2 itself does not contain a built-in GNSS receiver.

Yes. The SingularXYZ STS2 supports Bluetooth communication for connecting to compatible controllers running SingularPad surveying software. Bluetooth connectivity allows measurement data to be exchanged between the total station and the field controller without a physical data cable. This enables operators to manage points, perform stakeout and store survey results directly within a software project. Connection compatibility depends on the controller, software version and Bluetooth configuration.

The SingularXYZ STS2 provides internal storage for up to 16,000 survey points. This allows operators to record measurement information directly on the instrument during fieldwork. When used with SingularPad software, measurement data can also be stored and managed through the connected controller. Storage requirements depend on project size and the selected workflow, so survey data should be transferred and backed up regularly.

Yes. The SingularXYZ STS2 supports data export through a USB flash drive. This provides a convenient method for transferring recorded survey measurements from the instrument for further processing, documentation or archiving. When using SingularPad, additional software-based data management and file-sharing functions are available. Supported export formats depend on the selected workflow and software configuration. Users should verify coordinate systems and data formatting before importing measurements into CAD or GIS software.

Yes. When connected to compatible SingularPad field surveying software, the SingularXYZ STS2 supports CAD-related surveying, point and line stakeout, coordinate conversion and common coordinate geometry (COGO) calculations.
