Introduction

TPS1100 stands for Total Station
Positioning System. The TPS1100
instruments are available as various
models with differing classes of
accuracy. New technologies have
enabled the measuring sequence to
be largely automated, bringing
advantages such as shorter
measuring times, simpler operation
and more efficient use. Further
elements in the basic equipment are
described below.
The R versions have a laser with a
visible red beam. The EDM can be
switched between two operational
modes: measurements with normal
infrared or with the visible red laser
respectively. With the red laser,
reflectors are not required for
measuring distances. With infrared,
distances of up to seven kilometres
can be measured.
All TPS1100 instruments are
routinely supplied with a laser
plummet located in the vertical axis.
The TPS1100 can therefore be set
up quickly and accurately over the
ground point with the help of the red
laser dot.
The A-versions have an automatic
target recognition (ATR), which
permits rapid, fatigue-free
measuring. In ATR mode the finepointing is automatic. In LOCK mode
an already-targeted point is tracked
automatically.
For TPS1100 plus instruments an
optional PowerSearch module is
available which allows an automatic
prism detection within a short period
of time.
The EGL guide light is an optional
accessory for assistance with
targeting. It is located within the
telescope and it flashes, so that the
person carrying the reflector can
place this in the line of sight of the
instrument.
The RCS1100 remote control system
is an additional option, which allows
the remote control of all total stations.
The instrument can be controlled
either directly on the instrument or at
the RCS1100. Especially the
A-versions enable the surveyor to
work alone.
The measurements can also be
triggered, inspected and controlled
from the target area.
Leica Geosystems offers
applications programs for many different tasks in surveying. Just
choose the software which best
meets your needs.
Within the special GeoBasic
programming environment, you can
create your own application-specific
programs for the TPS1100
instruments.

TPS1100 - User Manual 2.2.1en
Distance measurement
A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated
into the instruments of the new
TPS1100 series.
In all versions, the distance can be
determined by using an invisible
infrared beam which emerges coaxially
from the telescope objective.
Very short distances may be
measured reflectorless in
Infrared-mode (e.g. to well reflecting
targets like traffic signs). In this case
the distances are corrected with the
addition constant defined for the
active reflector.
For applications without reflector, the
TCR and TCRA version also use a
visible red laser beam which emerges
in the same manner. A special
arrangement of the EDM, and
appropriate arrangement of the beam
paths, enable ranges of over five
kilometres to be attained with standard
prisms; miniprisms, 360° reflectors, and
reflector tapes can also be used, and
measurement is also possible without a
reflector.
When a distance
measurement is triggered,
the EDM measures to the object
which is in the beam path at that
moment.
When measurements are being
made using the Reflectorless Red
Laser EDM, the results may be
influenced by objects passing
between the EDM and the intended
target surface.
This will occur because reflectorless
measurements are made to the first
surface returning sufficient energy to
allow the measurement to take place.
For example, if the intended target
surface is the surface of a road, but a
vehicle passes between the EDM
and the target surface as DIST or
ALL is pressed, the measurement
may be made to the side of the
vehicle. The result will be the
distance to the vehicle, not to the
road surface.
If you are using the Long Range Red
Laser EDM while measuring to a
prism, and an object passes within
30 m of the EDM as DIST or ALL is
pressed, the distance measurement
may be similarly effected.
In practice, because the measuring
time is very short, the surveyor can
always find a way of avoiding critical
situations.

Extended Range (Option)

The optional "Extended Range (XR)"laser is a visible red laser with
in-creased measurement range. The
coaxial XR - laser makes it possible
to measure distances over 170 m
(560 ft) reflectorless and over 10 km
(6.2 miles) to one prism (refer to the
chapter "Technical specifications").
The operation of an XR - instrument
is equivalent to a conventional TPS
with red laser. Please consider the
following points when measuring with
the XR - laser (RL & Long Range).
The objective lens should
always be clean. Dirt on the
lens (dust, fingerprints, ...) can lead
to reduced accuracy.
Reflectorless
Be sure that the laser beam
is not reflected by anything
close to the line of sight (e.g. highly
reflective objects).
the EDM measures to the object
which is in the beam path at that
moment. In case of temporary
obstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle) or
heavy rain, fog or snow, the EDM
may measure to the obstruction.
the red laser beam from the line of
sight might lead to less accurate
measurements. This is because the
laser beam might not be reflected
from the point at which the
crosshairs are pointing.
Therefore, it is recommended to verify that the XR - laser is well collimated with the telescope line of sight
(refer to the chapter "Checking and
adjusting"). This should be done at
regular intervals.

Due to laser safety
regulations and measuring

Whenever possible accurate

should be made with the standard
program (IR).
Long Range to reflector tape
The Long Range Program can also
measure to reflector tape. To guarantee the accuracy the laser beam
must be perpendicular to the reflector
tape and the XR - laser must be well
adjusted (refer to the chapter
"Checking and adjusting").

Automatic Target Recognition ATR / LOCK
Quick Prism Search with
PowerSearch
TCA and TCRA instruments are
motorized and equipped with
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR)
coaxially in the telescope. The guide
light (EGL), mounted on the
telescope, is
optional.
ATR mode
These instruments permit automatic
angle and distance measurements to
normal prisms and reduce the tedium
of precise visual sighting to prisms.
The prism is sighted with the optical
sight only. Initiating a distance
measurement will turn the instrument
with the help of the motors to sight
the prism-centre automatically.
The angles V and Hz are measured
to the centre of the prism completion
of the distance measurement.
As with all other instrument
errors, the collimation error
of the automatic target recognition
(ATR) must be redetermined
periodically (Refer to chapter
"Checking and Adjusting").
LOCK mode
Lock mode will enable TCA
instruments to follow a moving prism.
Distances can be measured
whenever the prism stops for a short
time ("Stop and Go mode").
If the assistant changes the
location too quickly, the
target may be lost. Make sure that
the speed does not exceed the figure
given in the technical data.
The PowerSearch sensor consists
of a transmitter (1) and a receiver (2).
Both are installed in the lower part of
the telescope.

RCS (Remote Controlled Surveying)
At a target distance of 100 metres
(330 ft) a red/yellow flashing cone of
light with a width of 6m (20 ft) is
formed on each side. As a result,
guiding to the line of sight of the
instrument is much easier and faster.
Between the two cones of light a
sector about 30mm wide is created.
Within this sector both colours are
flashing simultaneously. In this case
the prism is already right in the line of
sight.
Operating range:
5 - 150 m (15 -500 ft)
Divergence:
10 m (33ft) at 100m (330 ft)
The RCS option (Remote Controlled
Surveying) permits all models to be
controlled from the target area.
Especially qualified for this purpose
are the TCA and TCRA instruments.
RCS 1100
Combined operation, partly at the
TPS1100 and partly at the prism, is
also possible.
As a result, surveys can be
performed solo. It is also possible to
monitor the operation on the RCS
1100 and / or to enter the coding on
the RCS 1100.
All functions of the TPS1100,
including the applications programs,
are available on the RCS 1100. The
display and the use of the keys are

corresponding to PCMCIA standards
(referred to here as a PC card). The
data are stored in MS-DOS file
format. Data is exchanged with a PC
through either a PCMCIA drive on
that PC, or an OMNI drive (optional),
or the serial interface (cable link
between instrument and PC).
The Leica Survey Office software
supplied with the instrument includes
a program for transferring data
across the serial interface.
Instead of using the PC card, the
data can be output in GSI format at
the serial data interface.
When data is transferred
across the serial interface
for storage in an external PC, no data
from the applications is output in the
report file. Fixed-point coordinates
can be read only from the PC card.

WARNING:
The battery chargers are
intended for indoor use only.
Use the battery charger in a dry room
only, never outdoors. Charge
batteries in an ambient temperature
between 0°C and 35°C ( 32°F to
95°F ). We recommend a
temperature of 0°C to +20°C (32°F to
68°F) for storing the batteries.

External power supply for total station
To meet the conditions stipulated for
electromagnetic acceptability when
powering the TPS1100 from an
external source, the supply cable
used must be equipped with a ferrite
core.
The Lemo plug with the
ferrite core always has to be
attached at the instrument side.
The cables supplied along with your
instrument include a ferrite core as
standard.
If you are using older cables without
ferrite core, it's necessary to attach
ferrite cores to the cable.
If you need additional ferrite cores,
please contact your local Leica Geosystems agency. The spare-part
number of the ferrite core is 703 707.

For assembling open up one ferrite
core and clip it around the supply
cable, about 2cm away from the
Lemo plug, before using the supply
cable for the first time together with a
TPS1100 instrument.

2. Set up the GST20, centring it as
well as possible.
The laser plummet is built into the
vertical axis of the TPS1100
instruments. Projecting a red dot on
to the ground makes it appreciably
easier to centre the instrument.

Checking and adjusting
Electronically
All instruments basically have
inherent mechanical defects which
can affect the measurement of
angles. The electronic anglemeasuring system of the TPS1100
routinely corrects the mechanical
instrument errors listed below; the
vertical angles relate to the plumb
line and the horizontal measurements
are corrected for line-of-sight error,
for tilting-axis error and for verticalaxis tilt:
• l, t Compensator index error
• i Vertical-index error
• c Line-of-sight error
• a Tilting-axis error
• ATR ATR zero-point error (only for
TCA and TCRA versions)
The instrument errors listed on the
left can change over time and with
temperature.
They should, therefore, be
redetermined in the order shown
below:
• before the first use
• before each precision survey
• after long periods of transport
• after long periods of work
• if the temperature alters by more
than 20°C
Before determining the instrument
errors, level-up the instrument using
the electronic bubble. The instrument
should be secure and firm, and
should be protected from direct
sunlight in order to avoid thermal
warming on one side only.
Take note that the procedure
for determining the relevant
instrument error has to be followed
precisely and carefully.
The determination of the
instrument errors can be
started in any telescope face.
Immediately after the first
measurement has been
completed, motorized instruments
change automatically to the second
face, after which the user merely
needs to carry out the fine pointing.
