Batteries

Your Leica Geosystems
instrument is operated with
rechargable plug-in batteries.
The Basic battery (GEB111) or
the Pro battery (GEB121) is
recommended for TPS110
Series instruments. As an
option, six individual cells can
be used with the appropriate
battery adapter GAD39.

GEB111GEB121

Six individual cells (1.5 V each)
produce a voltage of 9 Volts.
The battery indicator in the
display is designed for a voltage
of 6 Volts (GEB111/GEB121).
For this reason the charge state
of individual cells is not
indicated correctly. The battery
adapter with individual cells
should therefore be used as a
backup.

Individual cells in
the battery
adapter GAD39

The advantage of individual
cells is the low self-discharge
rate - even over longer periods

of time.

Use the Leica
Geosystems batteries,
chargers and accessories
or accessories
recommended by Leica
Geosystems to ensure
the correct functionality of
the instrument.

Measuring preparation

External power supply for total station

To meet the conditions
stipulated for electromagnetic
acceptability when powering the
TCR110 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.

TPS100z98

26

TPS100z99

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
TCR110 instrument.

Measuring

Distance measurement, continued

A laser distancer (EDM) is
incorporated into the
instruments of the TPS110
series.

In all versions, the distance can
be determined by using an
invisible infrared beam which
emerges coaxially from the
telescope objective.

Measurements to

strongly reflecting
targets such as to traffic lights
in infrared mode without
prism should be avoided. The
measured distances may be
wrong or inaccurate.

For applications without
reflector, the TCR-version also
use a visible red laser beam
which emerges in the same

manner.

When a distance

measurement is

triggered, the EDM
measures to the object which
is in the beam path at that
moment.

If e.g. people, cars, animals,
swaying branches, etc. cross the
laser beam while a measurement
is being taken, a fraction of the
laser beam is reflected and may
lead to incorrect distance values.
Avoid interrupting the measuring
beam while taking reflectorless
measurements or measurements
using reflective foils.
Measurements to prism
reflectors are only critical if an
object crosses the measuring
beam at a distance of 0 to 30m

34

and the distance to be measured
is more than 300m.
In practice, because the
measuring time is very short, the
user can always find a way of
avoiding these critical situations.

Measuring

1100z461100z47

Distance measurement, continued

Reflectorless

Be sure that the laser

beam is not reflected by
anything close to the line of
sight (e.g. highly reflective
objects).

When a distance

measurement is
triggered, 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, heavy rain, fog
or snow) the EDM may measure
to the obstruction.

When measuring longer

distances, any
divergence of 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 R-laser is well
collimated with the telescope
line of sight

(refer to the chapter

"Checking and adjusting").

Do not measure with two
instruments to the same

target simultaneously.

Red laser to prisms

WARNING:

Due to laser safety

regulations and
measuring accuracy, using the
visible red laser (RL) is only
allowed to prisms that are more
than 1000 m (3300 ft) away.

35

Accurate measurements

to prisms should be
made with the standard program
(Infrared mode).

Red laser to reflector tape

The visible red laser beam can
be used to measure to reflective
foils, also. To guarantee the
accuracy the red laser beam
must be perpendicular to the
reflector tape and it must be well
adjusted

(refer to the chapter

"Checking and adjusting").

Make sure the additive

constant belongs to the
selected target (reflector).

Measuring

Coordinate measurement

The coordinates of the target
point (E, N) always refer to the

Checking and Adjusting

Line-Of-Sight Error (Hz-Collim.)

Electronically

The instruments are adjusted in
the factory prior to shipping.

Instrument errors can change
with time and temperature.

These errors should be

determined before the
instrument is used for the first
time, before precision surveys,
after long periods of transport,
before and after long periods of
work, and if the temperature
changes by more than 10°C
(18°F).

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.

54

TPS100z16

The line-of-sight error or
collimation error (C) is the
deviation from the perpendicular
between the tilting axis and the
line of sight.
The effect of the line-of-sight
error to the Hz-angle increases
with the vertical angle.
For horizontal aimings the error
of the Hz-angle equals the line­of-sight error.

Vertical Index Error (V-Index)

Determining Instrument Errors

The vertical circle should read
exactly 90° (100 gon) when the
line of sight is horizontal. Any
deviation from this figure is
termed vertical index error (i).

By determining the vertical index
error the electronic level is

Laser Plummet, continued

Reflectorless EDM

Inspecting the laser plummet
should be carried out on a
bright, smooth and horizonal
surface (e.g. a sheet of paper).

If the centre of the laser spot
makes a clear circular
movement or if the centre of the
point is moving away more than
1mm from the first marked point
an adjustment is possibly
necessary. Call your nearest
Leica service department.

Depending on brightness and
surface the size of the laser
spot can vary. At a distance of

1.5 m an average value of 2.5
mm diameter must be
estimated.

The maximum diameter of the
circular movement of the centre
of the laser spot should not
exceed +/- 0.8 mm at a distance
of 1.5 m.

62

The red laser beam used for
measuring without reflector is
arranged coaxially with the line
of sight of the telescope, and
emerges from the objective port.
If the instrument is well
adjusted, the red measuring
beam will coincide with the
visual line of sight. External
influences such as shock or
large temperature fluctuations
can displace the red measuring
beam relative to the line of sight.

The direction of the

beam should be
inspected before precise
measurement of distances is
attempted, because an
excessive deviation of the laser
beam from the line of sight can
result in imprecise distance
measurements.

Checking and Adjusting

Reflectorless EDM, continued

Inspection

A target plate is provided. Set it
up between five and 20 metres
away with the grey reflective
side facing the instrument. Move
the telescope to face II. Switch
on the red laser beam by
activating the laser-point
function. Use the telescope
crosshair to align the instrument
with the centre of the target
plate, and then inspect the
position of the red laser spot on
the target plate. Generally
speaking the red spot cannot be
seen through the telescope, so
look at the target plate from just
above the telescope or from just
to the side of it.

If the spot illuminates the cross,
the achievable adjustment
precision has been reached.
If it lies outside the limits of the
cross, the direction of the beam
needs to be adjusted.

If the spot on the more reflective
side of the plate is too bright
(dazzling), use the white side
instead to carry out the
inspection.

upwards) or anticlockwise (spot
moves obliquely downwards).
To correct the beam laterally,
insert the screwdriver into the

Care and Storage

Transport

When transporting or shipping
the equipment always use the
original Leica Geosystems
packaging (transport case and
shipping cardboard).

After a longer period of

storage or transport of
your instrument always check
the field ajustment parameters
indicated in this manual before
using the instrument.

In the Field

When transporting the
equipment in the field, always
make sure to

• either carry the instrument in
its original transport case or,

65

TPS100z21

• carry the tripod with its legs
splayed across your
shoulder, keeping the
attached instrument upright.

TPS100z36

Inside Vehicle

Shipping

Storage

Never transport the instrument
loose inside the vehicle.
The instrument can be damaged
by blows and vibrations. It must
always be transported in its
case and be properly secured.

For shipping the instrument by
rail, aircraft or ship use the
Leica Geosystems original
packaging (transport case or
shipping cardboard) or another
suitable packaging securing the
instrument against blows and
vibrations.

66

°F °C

TPS100z61

When storing the

equipment, particularly
in summer and inside a vehicle,
take the temperature limits into
account.

When storing the intrument
inside a building also use the
transport case (if possible, in a
safe place).

Care and Storage

If the instrument
becomes wet, leave it

unpacked. Wipe down, clean,

and dry the instrument (at not
more than 40 °C/ 104°F),
transport case, foam inserts,
and accessories. Pack up the
equipment only when it is
perfectly dry.

When using the instrument in
the field always close the
transport case.

Cleaning

TPS100z66

Objective, eyepiece
and prisms:

• Blow dust off lenses and
prisms.

• Never touch the glass with
fingers.

• Use only a clean, soft and
lint-free cloth for cleaning. If
necessary, moisten the cloth
with pure alcohol.

Use no other liquids; these may
attack polymer components.

Fogging of prisms:

Reflector prisms that are

cooler than the ambient

TPS100z67

temperature tend to fog. It is not
enough simply to wipe them.
Keep them for some time inside
your jacket or in the vehicle to
allow them to adjust to the
ambient temperature.

Cables and plugs:

Keep plugs clean and
dry. Blow away any dirt lodged
in the plugs of the connecting
cables.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The term "electromagnetic
compatibility" is taken to mean
the capability of the instrument
to function correctly in an
environment where
electromagnetic radiation and
electrostatic discharges are
present, and without causing
electromagnetic disturbances in
other equipment.

WARNING:

Electromagnetic

radiation can cause
disturbances in other
equipment.

Although electronic total stations
meet the strict regulations and
standards which are in force in
this respect, Leica Geosystems
cannot completely exclude the
possibility that other equipment
may be disturbed.

CAUTION:

88

There is a risk that
disturbances may be

caused in other
equipment if the total station is
used in conjunction with
accessories from other
manufacturers, e.g. field
computers, personal computers,
walkie-talkies, non-standard
cables, external batteries.

Precautions:

Use only the equipment and
accessories recommended by
Leica Geosystems. When
combined with total stations,
they meet the strict
requirements stipulated by the
guidelines and standards. When
using computers and walkie­talkies, pay attention to the
information about
electromagnetic compatibility
provided by the manufacturer.

Safety Directions

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), continued

CAUTION:

Disturbances caused by

electromagnetic radiation
can result in the tolerance limits
for measurements being
exceeded.

Although the total stations meet
the strict regulations and
standards which are in force in
this connection, Leica Geosys­tems cannot completely exclude
the possibility that the total
station may be disturbed by very
intense electromagnetic
radiation, e.g. near radio
transmitters, walkie-talkies,
diesel generators, power cables.
Check the plausibility of results
obtained under these conditions.

WARNING:

If the total station is

operated with connecting
cables attached at only one of
their two ends (e.g. external
supply cables, interface cables),
the permitted level of
electromagnetic radiation may
be exceeded and the correct
functioning of other instruments
may be impaired.

Precautions:

While the total station is in use,
connecting cables (e.g.
instrument to external battery,
instrument to computer) must
be connected at both ends.
