Only use batteries, batterychargers and accessoriesrecommended by LeicaGeosystems.

Batteries

Your Leica Geosystems instrument isoperated with rechargable plug-inbatteries. The Pro battery (GEB121)or the Basic battery (GEB111) isrecommended for TPS700 Perfor-mance Series instruments. As anoption, six individual cells can beused with the appropriate batteryadapter GAD39.

TC

700z

93

GEB111GEB121 Individual cells in thebattery adapter GAD39

Six individual cells produce a voltageof 9 Volts. The battery indicator in thedisplay is designed for a voltage of 6Volts (internal battery GEB111/GEB121) and a voltage of 12 Volts(external battery). For this reason thecharge state of individual cells is notindicated correctly. The batteryadapter with individual cells shouldtherefore be used as abackup. The advantage of individualcells is the low self-discharge rate -even over longer periods of time.

Battery Charger

The battery chargers GKL111 orGKL122 are used to charge thebatteries. Please refer to thecorresponding battery charger usermanual for more information.

In order to fully extendbattery capacity it isabsolutely necessary tocarry out 3 to 5 completecharging/discharging cycleswith the new GEB111/GEB121 batteries.

Using the Basic battery chargerGLK111 one Basic / Pro battery canbe charged. Charging can be carriedout via a mains socket using thepower supply unit or via the vehicleconnection cable inside vehicles (12Vor 24V).

To comply with electromagneticcompatibility (EMC) requirementswhen supplying the TC(R)702/703/705 instruments from an externalpower supply, it is necessary to fit aso-called ferrite core to the cableused to connect the instrument to theexternal power supply.

The Lemo connector withthe ferrite core must always

be at the instrument end of the lead.

Powering the Total Station from an External Power Supply

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

To fit the core, open it and clip it ontothe cable close to the Lemoconnector before the cable is usedwith a TC(R)702/703/705 instrument(approx. 2 cm from the Lemoconnector).

Point Search

The point search is a global functionused by applications to search forinternally stored measuring points orcoordinates.It is possible for the user to limit thepoint search to a particular job or tosearch the whole memory.

Job : PROJ_EAST

Fixed points are always displayedfirst matching the relevant searchcriteria. If several points meet thesearch conditions then the points arearranged depending on "age". Theinstrument always finds the currentfixed point first.

Direct search

By entering an actual point number(e.g. "P13") all points with thecorresponding point number arefound.

Example:

Input: "P13"

As an example, 2 fixed points and 3measurements are found. You canpage through the match selection

using . As an example, apossible sequence is shown below.

Free Station

The application "Free Station" is usedto determine the instrument positionfrom measurements to a minimum oftwo known points and a maximum offive known points.It supports measurements to pointsusing either distances and Hz- and V-angles (typical 2 point resection) orangles only (typical 3 point resection)or a combination of angles anddistances to different points.

The following measurementssequences to target points arepossible:1. Hz- and V-angles only,2. Distance and Hz- and V-angle,3. Hz- and V-angles to some point(s)

and Hz- and V-angle plus distanceto other point(s).

The final computed results areEasting, Northing and Height of thepresent instrument station, includingthe instruments Hz-circle orientation.Standard deviations and residuals foraccuracy assessments are providedadditionally.

The station coordinates andorientation can be finally set active tothe system.

Measuring Facilities

The points can be measured intelescope face I or II, or a mixture (I +II), the sequence is of nosignificance. E.g. first point intelescope face II, last point intelescope face I + II, second point inface I, etc.

Measurements made in bothtelescope faces are checked forgross errors to ensure that the samepoint has been aimed at.

Measurement restrictions:

• 2 face measurementsFor measurements in 2 faces, thereflector height, the refCoeff andthe must be kept the same forboth faces for the same targetpoint, although it is permissible tochange these parameters betweendifferent target points. An errormessage will be generated if thereflector height changes betweenface I and face II while measuringto the same target point.

• Target points with 0.000 heightTarget points with 0.000 height arediscarded for height processing. Iftarget points have a valid height of0.000 m, use 0.001 m to enable itfor height processing.

If a target point is measuredseveral times in the same

telescope face the last validmeasurement is used forcomputation.

20

The computation procedureautomatically defines the calculationmethod, e.g. 2 point resection, 3point resection with angles only,etc…)If more than the minimum requiredmeasurements are performed, theprocessing routine uses a leastsquares adjustment to determine theplan position and averagesorientation and heights.

1. The original averaged face I andface II measurements enter thecomputation process. In case ofmultiple measurements to thesame target point, only the lastmeasurement for each face enterthe computation process.

2. All measurements are treated withthe same accuracy, whether theseare measured in single or dualface.

Computation Procedure

3. The final plan position (E, N) iscomputed from a least squaresadjustment, including standarddeviations and residuals for Hz-angle and horizontal distances.

4. The height of the station (H)including the standard deviationand residual is calculated from theaveraged heights (based on theoriginal measurements).

5. The Hz-circle orientation iscomputed with the originalaveraged face I and face IImeasurements and the finalcomputed plan position.

CodingCodes contain information aboutrecorded points. With the help ofcoding, points can be assigned to aparticular group simplifying laterprocessing.

A clear differentiation is madebetween GSI-coding (TPS100instruments) and OSW-coding(TPS300/TPS700-instruments). Forfurther information regarding"Coding", please refer to section"Data Manager".

OSW-coding

Unlike the GSI-coding OSW-codingenables the division into attributenames and values.

Using the quick code function, apredefined code can be calleddirectly via the numeric keypad onthe instrument. The code is selectedby entering a two digit number, themeasurement triggered and themeasured data and code saved.A total of 100 codes can beassigned.

Each code can be assigned a uniqueone or two digit number in the LeicaSurveyOffice "Codelist Manager".The quick code function is started bytyping this number on the numerickeypad.If no numbers are allocated to thecodes in the "Codelist Manager", thecode is selected in accordance withthe order in which the codes wereentered in the code list (01 -> firstcode in the code list … 10 -> tenthcode in the code list … 00 ->hundredth (and last) code in the codelist).

Quick Code

A two digit code must alwaysbe entered on the

instrument's numeric keypad even ifonly a one digit code was assigned inthe Codelist Manager. For example:4 -> enter 04.

To activate the function the quickcode display must be opened.

Procedure

1. Press <QCODE> button in the"Measuring" or "Surveying"application.

2. Enter a two digit number on thenumeric keypad -> code isselected, the measurementtriggered and the measured dataand code saved.

The name of the selected code isdisplayed after the measurement.

It is not possible to makeany entries in the quick codedialog.

The quick code function canonly be activated in the

"Measuring" and "Surveying"applications (if there is a code list inthe memory).

Line-Of-Sight Error (Hz-Collimation)

The line-of-sight error or collimationerror (C) is the deviation from theperpendicular between the tilting axisand the line of sight.

The effect of the line-of-sight error tothe Hz-angle increases with thevertical angle.For horizontal aimings the error ofthe Hzangle equals the line-of-sighterror.

cThe instruments are adjusted in thefactory prior to shipping.

Instrument errors can change withtime and temperature.

These errors should bedetermined before the

instrument is used for the first time,before precision surveys, after longperiods of transport, before and afterlong periods of work, and if thetemperature changes by more than10°C (18°F).

Before determining theinstrument errors, level-upthe instrument using the

electronic bubble. The instrumentshould be secure and firm, andshould be protected from directsunlight in order to avoid thermalwarming on one side only.

Cleaning

If the instrument becomeswet, leave it unpacked.

Wipe down, clean, and dry theinstrument (at not more than 40 °C/108°F), transport case, foam inserts,and accessories. Pack up theequipment only when it is perfectlydry.

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

Objective, eyepiece andprisms:

• 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 purealcohol.

Use no other liquids; these mayattack polymer components.

Fogging of prisms:Reflector prisms that are

cooler than the ambient temperaturetend to fog. It is not enough simply towipe them. Keep them for some timeinside your jacket or in the vehicle toallow them to adjust to the ambienttemperature.

Level-up the instrument in advancewith the electronic level. The bubblemust be centered. If it extendsbeyond the circle, use the Allen keysupplied to center it by turning theadjustment screws.

After adjustment no screw must beloose.

Circular Level

Level the instrument and thenremove it from the tribrach. If thebubble is not centred, adjust it usingthe adjusting pin.Turning the adjustment screws:• to the left: the bubble approaches

the screw• to the right: the bubble goes away

from the screw.

After adjustment no screw must beloose.

Circular Level on the Tribrach

The connections between metal andtimber components must always befirm and tight.• Tighten the Allen screws (2)

Laser Plummet

The laser plummet is integrated intothe vertical axis of the instrument.Under normal circumstances settingof the laser plummet is notnecessary. If an adjustment isnecessary due to external influencesthe instrument has to be returned toany Leica service department.

Checking by turning theinstrument by 360°:1. Install the instrument on the tripod

approx. 1.5 m above ground andlevel up.

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

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

Inspecting the laser plummet shouldbe carried out on a bright, smoothand horizonal surface (e.g. a sheet ofpaper).

If the centre of the laser spot makesa clearly circular movement or if thecentre of the point is moving awaymore than 1mm from the first markedpoint an adjustment is possiblynecessary. Call your nearest Leicaservice department.

Depending on brightness and surfacethe size of the laser spot can vary. Ata distance of 1.5 m an average valueof 2.5 mm diameter must beestimated.

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

Reflectorless EDM

The red laser beam used formeasuring without reflector isarranged coaxially with the line ofsight of the telescope, and emergesfrom the objective port. If theinstrument is well adjusted, the redmeasuring beam will coincide withthe visual line of sight. Externalinfluences such as shock or largetemperature fluctuations can displacethe red measuring beam relative tothe line of sight.

The direction of the beamshould be inspected before

precise measurement of distances isattempted, because an excessivedeviation of the laser beam from theline of sight can result in imprecisedistance measurements.

Inspection

A target plate is provided. Set it upbetween five and 20 metres awaywith the grey reflective side facing theinstrument. Move the telescope toface II. Switch on the red laser beamby activating the laser-point function.Use the telescope crosshair to alignthe instrument with the centre of thetarget plate, and then inspect theposition of the red laser spot on thetarget plate. Generally speaking thered spot cannot be seen through thetelescope, so look at the target platefrom just above the telescope or fromjust to the side of it.If the spot illuminates the cross, theachievable adjustment precision hasbeen reached; if it lies outside thelimits of the cross, the direction of thebeam needs to be adjusted.

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

Adjusting the Direction of the Beam

Pull the two plugs out from theadjustment ports on the top side ofthe telescope housing.To correct the height of the beam,insert the screwdriver into the rearadjustment port and turn it clockwise(spot on target plate moves obliquelyupwards) or anticlockwise (spotmoves obliquely downwards).To correct the beam laterally, insertthe screwdriver into the frontadjustment port and turn it clockwise(spot moves to the right) oranticlockwise (spot moves to theleft).

Reflectorless EDM, continued

Throughout the adjustmentprocedure, keep the

telescope pointing to the target plate.

After each field adjustment,replace the plugs in the

adjustment ports to keep out dampand dirt.

Corrections and Formulae

The distance displayed is correct onlyif the scale correction in ppm (mm/km) which has been enteredcorresponds to the atmosphericconditions prevailing at the time ofthe measurement.

The atmospheric correction includesadjustments for air pressure, airtemperature and relative humidity.

If, for highest-precision distancemeasurements, the atmosphericcorrection should be determined withan accuracy of 1 ppm, the followingparameters must be redetermined:Air temperature to 1°C; air pressureto 3 millibars; relative humidity to20%.

The air humidity influences thedistance measurement if the climateis extremely hot and damp.

For high-precision measurements,the relative humidity must bemeasured and entered along with theair pressure and the temperature.
