Introduction

Distance measurement

A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the instruments of the TPS700 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 TCRApower and TCRAultra 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.

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.

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 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.

Distance measurement

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 dis-

tances, 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

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).

Automatic Target Recognition ATR

TCRApower and TCRAultra instruments are motorized and equipped with Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) coaxially in the telescope. The Electronic Guide Light (EGL), mounted on the telescope, is optional.

ATR mode

These instruments permit automatic measurements to normal prisms and reduce the tedious task 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 after 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 "Determing Instrument Errors" in the Field Manual).

To speed up measuring

time, in ATR mode the crosshairs are not positioned exactly over the center of the prism. The remaining distance between the crosshairs and the center of the prism is measured electronically and the horizontal and vertical angles are corrected accordingly. As a result, in ATR mode the displayed angles are of the usual precision and correspond to the specifications of your instrument.

Charging / Discharging Battery

Primary use/charging

• The batteries must be charged prior to using 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 2 - 5 charge/discharge cycles.

• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +35°C / +32°F to +95°F. For optimal charging we recommend a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C / +50°F to +68°F.

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.

Powering the Total Station from an External Power Supply

To comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements when supplying the TPS700 instruments from an external power supply, it is necessary to fit a socalled ferrite core to the cable used to connect the instrument to the external power supply.

The Lemo connector with the ferrite core must always

be at the instrument end of the lead.

The cables supplied by Leica Geosystems are fitted with a ferrite core as standard. If you intend to use older cables that are not fitted with a ferrite core, the cables must be fitted with a ferrite core prior to use. You can order ferrite cores from your Leica Geosystems representative (spare part number for the ferrite core: 703707).

TC700Z111

TC700Z112

To fit the core, open it and clip it onto the cable close to the Lemo connector before the cable is used with a TPS700 instrument (approx. 2 cm from the Lemo connector).

Laser Plummet

The laser plummet is integrated into the vertical axis of the instrument. Under normal circumstances setting of the laser plummet is not necessary. If an adjustment is necessary due to external influences the instrument has to be returned to any Leica service department.

Checking by turning the instrument by 360°:

1. Install the instrument on the tripod approx. 1.5 m above ground and level up.

2. Switch on laser plummet and mark the centre of the red spot.

3. Turn instrument slowly by 360° and observe the red laser spot.

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 clearly circular movement or if the centre of the point is moving away more than 3 mm from the first marked point an adjustment is possibly necessary. Call your nearest Leica service department.

360°

Laser spot: Ø 2.5 mm / 1.5 m

≤ 3 mm / 1.5 m

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 rotation diameter of the center of the laser spot should not exceed 3 mm (2 sigma) at a distance of 1.5 m.

Page 38

Reflectorless EDM

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 inaccurate distance measurements.

WARNING

For safety aspects direct intrabeam viewing should be

considered always as hazardous.

Precautions:

Do not stare into the beam or direct it towards other people unnecessarily. These measures are also valid for the reflected beam.

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 pointer function. Use the telescope crosshairs 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.

Adjusting the Direction of the Beam

Turn the telescope in such a way that the two plugs are on the top side. Pull the two plugs out from the adjustment ports. To correct the height of the beam, insert the screwdriver into the adjustment port (1) and turn it clockwise (spot on target plate moves obliquely upwards) or anticlockwise (spot moves obliquely downwards). To correct the beam laterally, insert the screwdriver into the adjustment port (2) and turn it clockwise (spot moves to the right) or anticlockwise (spot moves to the left).

TC700Z51

Throughout the adjustment procedure, keep the

telescope pointing to the target plate.

After each field adjustment, close adjustment ports again

to keep out damp and dirt.

a) Only qualified and trained persons

should be assigned to install, adjust and operate the laser equipment.

b) Areas in which these lasers are

used should be posted with an appropriate laser warning sign.

c) Precautions should be taken to

ensure that persons do not look directly, with or without an optical instrument, into the beam.

d) The laser beam should be

terminated at the end of its useful beam path and should in all cases be terminated if the hazardous beam path extends beyond the limit (hazard distance *)) of the area in which the presence and activities of personnel are monitored for reasons of protection from laser radiation.

e) The laser beam path should be

located well above or below eye level wherever practicable.

f) When not in use the Laser

Product should be stored in a location where unauthorized personnel cannot gain access.

g) Precautions should be taken to

ensure that the laser beam is not unintentionally directed at mirrorlike, specular surfaces, for example mirrors, metal surfaces or windows. But, more importantly, at flat or concave mirror-like surfaces.

*) The hazard distance is the

distance from the laser at which beam irradiance or radiant exposure equals the maximum permissible value to which personnel may be exposed without being exposed to a health risk.

Products with an integrated distancer of laser class 3R this hazard distance is 68 m / 224 ft. At this distance, the laser beam rates as Class 1M, that means direct intrabeam viewing is not hazardous.

Corrections and Formula

Atmospheric Correction

∆∆

∆D

∆∆

The distance displayed is correct only if the scale correction in ppm (mm/km) which has been entered corresponds to the atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time of the measurement.

The atmospheric correction includes adjustments for air pressure, air temperature and relative humidity.

If, for highest-precision distance measurements, the atmospheric correction should be determined with an accuracy of 1 ppm, the following parameters must be redetermined: Air temperature to 1°C; air pressure to 3 millibars; relative humidity to 20%.

The air humidity influences the distance measurement if the climate is extremely hot and damp.

To calculate the atmospheric correction, the fixed value of 60% relative humidity is used for the TPS700 series.

The index n for the infrared EDM (carrier wave 780nm) = 1.0002830. For the visible red laser (carrier wave 670nm), n = 1.0002859.

The index n is calculated from the formula of Barrel and Sears, and is valid for air pressure p = 1013.25 mbar, for air temperature t = 12°C and for relative air humidity h = 60%.

Formula for infrared EDM:

∆D1 = 283.04 -

Mean sea level

The instrument calculates slope distance, horizontal distance and height difference in accordance with the following formula. Earth curvature and mean refraction coefficient (k = 0.13, the user may change it) are taken into account automatically. The calculated horizontal distance relates to the station height, not to the reflector height.

Independent of the

atmospheric correction, a scale correction may be entered. This is however only taken into consideration for the calculation of the coordinates, and not for the slope and horizontal distances. Distances calculated from target and station coordinates deviate by this correction from "measured" resp. displayed horizontal distances.
