Some of the programs are activated freely and require no license
key and others require purchasing and are only activated with a
license key.
There are various third party applications available for the
TM6100A, onboard or computer based software. Please contact
your Leica Geosystems representative for details.
Customised software specific to user requirements can be developed using the GeoC++ development kit. Information on the
GeoC++ development environment is available on request from a
Leica Geosystems representative.
Software upload All instrument software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument. The software
can be uploaded onto the instrument using the following methods:
• Using LGO Tools the software is transferred via the serial interface to the
CompactFlash card in the instrument, which is then stored to the System RAM.
• By connecting the CompactFlash card directly to the computer either via an
internal card slot housing or an external OMNI drive, the software is transferred
to the card, which is then stored to the System RAM.

marked ground point.
Important features:
• It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and
avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.
• The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the
instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier
to centre the instrument.
• The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equipped with
an optical plummet.

3.2 Battery
3.2.1 Operating Principles
40TM6100A
Primary use/charging
• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the
charger or on a
battery capacity available.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F
to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by
temperature is too high.
Operation/Discharging
• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and
decrease the instrument accuracy.
It is therefore recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures.
The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as
described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical
parts can be adjusted mechanically.
The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically:
l, t Compensator longitudinal and transversal index errors
i Vertical index error, related to the standing axis
c Hz collimation error, also called line of sight error
a Tilting axis error
Every angle measured in the daily work is corrected automatically if the compensator
and the Hz-corrections are activated in the instrument configuration. Select Main

The following instrument parts can be adjusted mechanically:
• Circular level on instrument and tribrach
• Laser plummet
• Optical plummet - option on tribrach
• Allen screws on tripod
To get precise measurements in the daily work, it is important:
• To check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
• To take high precision measurements during the check and adjust procedures.
• To measure targets in two faces. Some of the instrument errors are eliminated
by averaging the angles from both faces.
• Refer to "4.2 Preparation" to find more important points.
During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined
and set to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations:
• Before the first use
• Before every high precision survey
• After rough or long transportations
• After long working periods
Check & Adjust

• After long storage periods

Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient
temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from
storage to working environment but at least 15 min should be taken into account.
Take the carry handle off the TM6100A when calibrating and measuring as the telescope may not turn to the second face with the carry handle mounted.
Generally calibration and measurement set up should be carried out with the same
instrument configuration.
Before determining the instrument errors, the instrument has to be levelledup using the electronic level.
Plummet, Level page.
The tribrach, the tripod and the underground should be very stable and
secure from vibrations or other disturbances.
The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight in order to avoid
thermal warming.
It is also recommended to avoid strong heat shimmer and air turbulence.
The best conditions are usually early in the morning or with overcast sky.
