Standing axis inclination

Angle between plumb line and standing axis. Standing axis tilt is not an instrument error and is not eliminated by measuring in both faces. Any possible influence it may have on the Hz-direction resp. Vangle is elliminated by the dual axis compensator.

Line-of-sight error (Hz-collimation)

The line-of-sight error is the deviation from the perpendicular between tilting axis and line-ofsight. This could be eleminated by measuring in both faces.

V-Index (Vertical index error)

With horizontal line-of-sight the Vcircle reading should be exactly 90°(100gon). The deviation from this values is termed V-index (i).

Plumb line / Compensator

Direction of gravity. The compensator defines the plumb line within the instrument.

Operating the Instrument

Leica TPS800-2.0.0en

Distance measurement

A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the instruments of the TPS800 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. 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 trig-

)

gered, 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.

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 Rlaser is well collimated with the telescope line of sight (refer to the chapter "Checking and adjusting").

Do not measure with two instruments to the

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.

Instrument Setup

Description

This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a 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.

Measuring Preparation / Setting

Pointsearch

Pointsearch is a global function used by applications to e.g. find internally saved measured or fixed points. It is possible for the user to limit the point search to a particular job or to search the whole storage. The search procedure always finds fixed points before measured points that fulfill the same search criteria. If several points meet the search criteria, then the points are listed according to their age. The instrument finds the most current (youngest ) fixed point first.

Direct search

By entering an actual point number (e.g. "P13") all points with the corresponding point number are found.

Free Station

The application "Free Station" is used to determine the instrument position from measurements to a minimum of two known points and a maximum of five known points.

TPS800_Z35

The following measurements sequences to target points are possible:

1. Hz- and V-angles only (resection)

2. Distance and Hz- and V-angle (3 point resection)

3. Hz- and V-angles to some point(s) and Hz- and V-angle plus distance to other point(s).

The final computed results are Easting, Northing and Height of the present instrument station, including the instruments Hz-circle orientation. Standard deviations and residuals for accuracy assessments are provided.

Programs

Leica TPS800-2.0.0en

Measuring facilities

Single face I or II or dual face I + II measurements are always possible. No specific point sequence or specific face sequences are required. Gross errors checks are made for dual face measurements to ensure the same point(s) are sighted with the other face.

If a target point is measured several times in

)

the same telescope position the last valid measurement is used for computation.

Measurement restrictions:

• 2 face measurements When measuring the same target in both faces, the reflector height may not be altered when changing the telescope position.

• Target points with 0.000 height Target points with 0.000 height are discarded for height processing. If target points have a valid height of 0.000 m, use 0.001 m to enable it for height processing.

Computation procedure

The measuring procedure automatically determines the mothod of evaluation, e.g. resection, 3 point resection, etc. If more than the minimum required measurements are performed, the processing routine uses a least squares adjustment to determine the plan position and averages orientation and heights.

1. The original averaged face I and face II measurements enter the computation process.

2. All measurements are treated with the same accuracy, whether these are measured in single or dual face.

3. Easting and northing is determined by the method of least squares, including standard deviation and improvements for Hz-direction and horizontal distances.

4. The final height (H) is computed from averaged height differences based on the original measurements.

5. The Hz-circle orientation is computed with the original averaged face I and face II measurements and the final computed plan position.

Reference Line/Arc

This program facilitates the easy stake out or checking of lines for buildings, sections of road, simple excavations, etc.

Reference Line

A reference line can be defined by referencing a known base line. The reference line can be offset either longitudinally, in parallel or vertically to the base line, or be rotated around the first base point as required. Furthermore the reference height can be selected as first point, second point or interpolated along the reference line.

Procedure:

1. Definition of the Base line:

The base line is fixed by two base points that can be defined in three ways:

• Measured points

• Enter coordinates using keypad

• Select point from memory.

Procedure:

1. Define the arc When starting the application you were asked how to define the arc. You can define the arc by:

a) Center Point & Start Point b) Start Point, End Point, Radius Depending from type you have chosen, you

have to measure/select/enter the values to proceed to step 2.

2. Decide to Measure or to Stake Out

[MEASURE] Starts the subapplication to

measure Line & Offset (See issue

Area & Volume

The application program Area is used to compute online areas of max. 50 points connected by straights. The target points have to be measured, selected from memory or entered via keyboard in clockwise direction. The calculated area is projected onto the horizontal plane (2D) or projected onto the sloped reference plane defined by 3 points (3D). Furthermore a volume with constant height can be calculated in rela-tion to the area (2D/3D)
