4.6 Batteries
4.6.1 Operating Principles
•
T
he battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is
delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/
+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F
if possible.
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the
chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high.
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated
on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly
from the actual battery capacity available.
•
T
he 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; high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

4.9 Guidelines for Correct Results
002410_002
When measurements are being made using the red laser EDM, the results can
b
e influenced by objects passing between the EDM and the intended target
surface. This occurs 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 building, but a vehicle passes between the EDM and the target surface as the measurement is
triggered, the measurement may be made to the side of the vehicle. The result
is the distance to the vehicle, not to the surface of the building.
If using the long range measurement mode (> 1000 m, > 3300 ft) to prisms,
and an object passes within 30 m of the EDM as the measurement is triggered,
the distance measurement may be similarly effected due to the strength of the
laser signal.
Very short distances can also be measured reflectorless in Prism mo
de to well
reflecting natural targets. The distances are corrected with the additive constant defined for the active reflector.
WARNING
Due to laser safety regulations and measuring accuracy, using the Long Range
R
eflectorless EDM is only allowed to prisms that are more than 1000m (3300ft)
away.
Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in Prism mo
de.
When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object
which is in the b
eam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, for
example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the instrument
and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction.
Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously to
av
oid getting mixed return signals.
Instruments equipped with an ATR sensor permit automatic angle and distance
me
asurements to prisms. The prism is sighted with the optical sight. After initiating a distance measurement, the instrument sights the prism centre automatically. Vertical and horizontal angles and the distance are measured to the
centre of the prism. The lock mode enables the instrument to follow a moving
prism.

As with all other instrument errors, the collimation error of the automatic aiming mus
t be redetermined periodically. Refer to "5 Check & Adjust" about
checking and adjusting instruments.
When a measurement is triggered while the prism is still moving, distance and
ang
le measurements may not be made for the same position and coordinates
may vary.
If the prism location is changed too quickly, the target may be lost. Make sure
tha
t the speed does not exceed the figure given in the technical data.

5 Check & Adjust
5.1 Overview
Leica Geosystems instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to
the b
est possible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can
cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This check and
adjust can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and must be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and
mechanical parts can be adjusted mechanically.
For a TS13 basic variant, Check & Adjust must be done remotely using a CS20.
The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically:
Instrument error Description
l, t Compensator longitudinal and transversal index
er
rors
i Vertical index error, related to the standing axis
c Horizontal collimation error, also called line of
sight error
a Tilting axis error
ATR ATR zero point error for Hz and V
If the compensator and the horizontal corrections are activated in the instrumen
t configuration, every angle measured in the daily work is corrected automatically. Check whether the tilt correction and the horizontal correction are
turned on.
The results are displayed as errors but used with the opposite sign as corrections when applied to measurements.
The following instrument parts can be adjusted mechanically:
•
C
ircular level on instrument and tribrach
•
Optical plummet - option on tribrach
•
Allen screws on tripod
To get precise measurements in the daily work, it is important:
•
T
o check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
•
To take high precision measurements during the check and adjust proce-
dures.
•
To measure targets in two faces. Some of the instrument errors are elimi-
nated by averaging the angles from both faces.
During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined and s
et to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is
highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations:

5.2 Preparation
Before determining the instrument errors, the instrument has to
b
e levelled using the electronic level.
The tribrach, the tripod and the underground should be stable
and secure from vibrations or other disturbances.
The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight to
avoid thermal warming.
It is also recommended to avoid strong heat shimmer and air
turbulence. The best conditions are early in the morning or with
overcast sky.
Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the
ambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from storage to working environment, but at least 15 min, should be
taken into account.
Even after adjustment of the ATR, the crosshairs may not be positioned exactly
o
n the centre of the prism after an ATR measurement has been completed.
This outcome is a normal effect. To speed up the ATR measurement, the telescope is normally not positioned exactly on the centre of the prism. These
small deviations/ATR offsets, are calculated individually for each measurement
and corrected electronically. This means that the horizontal and vertical angles

6 Care and Transport
6.1 Transport
When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you
•
either car
ry the product in its original container,
•
or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the
attached product upright.
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock
and vib
ration. Always carry the product in its container and secure it.
For products for which no container is available use the original packaging or
its equivalent.
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete original Leica G
eosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its equiva-
lent, to protect against shock and vibration.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the produc
t must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight transport company.
Exposing the product to high mechanical forces, for example through frequent
tr
ansport or rough handling, or storing the product for a long time may cause
deviations and a decrease in the measurement accuracy. Periodically carry out
test measurements and perform the field adjustments indicated in the User
Manual before using the product.
6.2 Storage
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in
summer if the equip
ment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "7 Technical Data" for
information about temperature limits.
•
R
efer to "7 Technical Data" for information about storage temperature
range.
•
Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
•
After storage recharge batteries before using.
•
Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be
dried before storing or use.
•
A storage temperature range of 0 °C to +30 °C / +32 °F to +86 °F in a dry
environment is recommended to minimize self-discharging of the battery.
•
At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a
40% to 50% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage
period the batteries must be recharged.

6.3 Cleaning and Drying
•
Blow dus
t off lenses and prisms.
•
Never touch the glass with your fingers.
•
Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the
cloth with water or pure alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may
attack the polymer components.
Prisms that are cooler than the ambient temperature tend to fog. It is not
enoug
h 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.
Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories
a
t a temperature not greater than 40°C /104°F and clean them. Remove the
battery cover and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything
is completely dry. Always close the transport container when using in the field.
Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the connec
ting cables.
6.4 Maintenance
An inspection of the motorisation in motorised instruments must be done in a
Leica G
eosystems authorised service centre. Leica Geosystems recommends an
inspection of the product every 12 months.
For instruments which are in intensive or permanent use, for example tunnelling or monitoring, the recommended inspection cycle may be reduced.

7.10.3 Dangerous Goods Regulations
Many products of Leica Geosystems are powered by Lithium batteries.
Lithium ba
tteries can be dangerous under certain conditions and can pose a
safety hazard. In certain conditions, Lithium batteries can overheat and ignite.
☞
When carrying or shipping your Leica product with Lithium batteries
onboard a commercial aircraft, you must do so in accordance with the
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
☞
Leica Geosystems has developed Guidelines on “How to carry Leica
products” and “How to ship Leica products” with Lithium batteries.
Before any transportation of a Leica product, we ask you to consult
these guidelines on our web page
(http://www.leica-geosystems.com/dgr) to ensure that you are in
accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and that the
Leica products can be transported correctly.
☞
Damaged or defective batteries are prohibited from being carried or
transported onboard any aircraft. Therefore, ensure that the condition
of any battery is safe for transportation.
7.11 General Technical Data of the Product
Several factors can influence the system's accuracy for determining the location
o
f a prism:
•
Internal ATR accuracy
•
Angular accuracy of the instrument
•
Type and centring accuracy of the prism
•
Selected EDM measuring program
•
External measuring conditions
Therefore, the overall pointing accuracy of the determined point location can
be lower than the given angular accuracy and the ATR accuracy.
The following paragraphs provide a short overview of these influencing factors
and their possible intensities.
Angular accuracy
The accuracy of angular measurements depends on the instrument type. The
angular accuracy for total stations is typically in the range from 0.5² to 5². The
resulting error depends on the measurement distance.
Angular accuracy
Possible deviation* a
t 100 m distance
1² ~0.5 mm
3² ~1.5 mm
*
Orthogonal to the line of sight.
☞
Refer to the data sheet of the respective instrument model for informa
tion about the angular accuracy.
EDM accuracy
T
he distance measurement accuracy consists of two parts: a fixed value and a
distance-dependent value (ppm-value).
Dangerous Goods
R
egulations
System Accuracy
68 Technical Data
Page 69
Example: "Single measurements: 1 mm + 1.5 ppm"
T
he EDM accuracies for prism and reflectorless measurements can differ. Addi-
tionally, the accuracies can differ depending on the used technologies.
☞
Refer to the appropriate data sheet for information about the EDM
accuracy.
ATR accuracy
Automatic target aiming accuracies, like those of the ATR, are in general the
same as the stated angular accuracy. Therefore these accuracies are also distance-dependent parameters.
External impacts, like heat shimmer, rain (prism surface covered by rain drops),
fog, dust, strong background lights, dirty targets, alignment of the targets etc.
can have a significant influence on the automated target. In addition the selected EDM mode affects the ATR performance. Under good environmental conditions and with a clean, properly aligned target the accuracy of the automated
target aiming is equivalent to the manual target aiming (presumed valid calibration values).
Type and centring accuracy of the prism
The prism centring accuracy depends mainly on the used prism type, for example:
Prism type Centring accuracy
Leica GPR1 Circular prism 1.0 mm
Leica GPH1P Precision circular prism 0.3 mm
Leica GRZ122 360° prism 2.0 mm
Leica GRZ4 360° prism 5.0 mm
☞
Refer to the white paper "Leica Surveying Reflectors" for information
ab
out the different centring accuracies.
Additional influencing factors
When determining absolute coordinates, the following parameters can also
a
ffect the resulting accuracy:
•
Environmental conditions: temperature, air pressure and humidity
•
Typical instrument errors, such as horizontal collimation error or index
error.
•
Proper functioning of laser plummet or optical plummet
•
Correct horizontal levelling
•
Setup of the target
•
Quality of additional equipment, such as tribrach or tripod.

•
Relative humidity
For highest precision distance measurements, the atmospheric correction
should b

•
Air pressure to 3 mbar
•
Relative humidity to 20 %
The air humidity influences the distance measurement if the climate is
ex
tremely hot and damp.
For high precision measurements, the relative humidity must be measured and
entered along with the air pressure and the temperature.

Earth curvature (1/R) and mean refraction coefficient (k) are automatically
tak
en into account when calculating the horizontal distance and height difference. The calculated horizontal distance relates to the station height and not
to the reflector height.
