The entrance of non prism totalstation brought the application possibility to many fields including a topographic survey and a facility measurement. In this research we would try to examine the errors and the problems which will be happened in measuring object with non prism totalstation and to evaluate the accuracy and applicability. For this purposes, We checked accuracy change according to the observation ang1e and material of the object, and analyzed how much accuracy was effected with the color of the object surface and laser divergency which is proportional to the distance. By measuring the facility practically and analyzing it's results, We evaluated possibility of practical use of a non prism totalstation for a facility measurement. Consequently, We propose that the observation accuracy of non prism totalstation is not depend on the hardness or material of the object and can get a good result only when we use non prism totalstation with coaxial focusing system for a facility survey.
