Introduction
The control unit, the radio modem and the power supply are all contained in a compact, ergonomically-designed housing. The incorporated radio modem is used together with the TCPS26 radio modem as a basic station in the TPS1100.
Instruments in locations which are exposed, difficult to reach, or cramped, can be conveniently operated with the RCS1100 control unit.
Validity of the user manual |
6 |
|
This user manual is valid for all RCS1100 units having a built-in radio modem.
Exceptions relating to the RCS1100 without built-in radio modem are indicated. The present manuel describes the software version 1.22.
RCS1100 stands for Remote Control Surveying. The RCS1100 enables survey instruments of the TPS1100 and TPS1000 series to be remote controlled.

Preparation, Setting up
Unpacking
The RCS1100 is supplied complete with the User Manual and with a software diskette / CD in a padded nylon bag. The outfit also includes an adapter which enables the RCS1100 to be connected to a GLS11 reflector pole. The bag has space for a spare GEB111/121 battery and for a TCPS26 radio modem.
The complete equipment and the accessories for Remote Control Surveying can be reliably transported in the container 667 337 (option), in which all of the components are clearly laid out for rapid installation.
The entire equipment has been designed for rough field conditions but we nevertheless recommend that you use the bags and containers provided when you transport it over long distances. Protect cables, plugs, batteries and antennae against the weather.

Fitting the RCS1100 to the reflector pole
Using the clamping screw provided, secure the reflector-pole adapter at the appropriate height on a GLS11 reflector pole. The adapter can remain on the reflector pole during transport.
WARNING: |
6 |
||
If the radio modem is |
|||
|
|||
switched on, do not carry the |
|
|
|
|
|
||
antenna closer than 15 cm to your |
|
|
|
body. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Screw the antenna to the end of the antenna extension and connect the antenna extension to the reflector adapter.
Now connect the RCS1100 to the reflector-pole adapter by lining up the marks and tightening the screw. Connect the antenna extension to the RCS1100.
At short distances, or under favourable radio transmission conditions, you can leave out the antenna extension and connect the antenna directly to the RCS1100.
Connecting the RCS1100 (lining up the marks on housing and adapter)
The angle bracket and the position of the antenna socket together ensure that the antenna is vertical.

Preparation,Setting up |
Installing the TCPS26 on the tripod of the instrument
If the RCS1100 is secured in another manner, make sure that the antenna is vertical, otherwise the transmission range will be restricted.

Trouble-shooting |
|
|
After all connections and settings have been inspected, the RCS1100 can be switched on. This automatically brings the TPS1100 into the RCS mode. After a few seconds, the display of the TPS1100 appears on the RCS1100.

Packaging and transport |
Batteries and chargers |
|
|
Before packing up the RCS1100 and the TCPS26 in the bag, unscrew the antennae and remove the battery from the RCS1100. For maximum protection during transport, pack the units as shown in the diagram.
GEB111 |
T100Z72 |
|
Your Leica Geosystems instrument is operated with rechargable plug-in batteries. The GEB111 is the preferred battery for use with the RCS1100, but the GEB121 may also be used.
Only use batteries, charging
sets and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems.
In order to fully exhaust battery capacity it is
absolutely necessary with new batteries to carry out 3 to 5 complete charging/discharging cycles.

GEB121 |
1100z06 |
|
After first charging of batteries you can start
immediately with your job. As a result, the batteries will be discharged. Because the operating time of the battery can be very short until full capacity is reached it is recommended to have ready a second battery and the GKL122 battery charger. Using the charger, the battery can be charged/discharged several times before use.

To charge the battery, use the GKL111 or GKL122 charger as described in the instructions provided with that charger.
The chargers are not intended for outdoor use.
Adhere to the safety directions.
The battery for the RCS1100 fits into a compartment on the underside of the instrument. Push it fully against the side opposite to the catch and then click it into position on the same side as the catch.
To remove the battery, hold it to prevent it from falling and pull out the lever of the catch by about 2mm.
