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
TPS100z93
of time.
Use the Leica
Geosystems batteries,
chargers and accessories
or accessories
recommended by Leica
Geosystems to ensure
the correct functionality of
the instrument.

If the battery GEB121 or
the battery adapter
GAD39 for six individual cells is
used, the spacer for the GEB111
must be removed from the
battery holder prior to inserting
the battery.

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 preparation
Setting Up the Tripod
TPS100z19
1. Loosen the clamping screws
on the tripod legs, pull out to
the required length and
tighten the screws.
2. In order to guarantee a firm
foothold sufficiently press the
tripod legs into the ground.
TPS100z32
When setting up the
tripod pay attention to a
horizontal position of the tripod
plate.
Heavy inclinations of the tripod
plate must be corrected with the
tribrach footscrews.

Careful handling of tripod
• Check all screws and bolts
for correct fit.
• During transport always use
