A laser distancer (EDM) isincorporated into the instruments ofthe TPS700 series.

In all versions, the distance can bedetermined by using an invisibleinfrared beam which emergescoaxially from the telescopeobjective.

Measurements to stronglyreflecting targets such as

to traffic lights in infrared modewithout prism should be avoided.The measured distances may bewrong or inaccurate.

For applications without reflector, theTCRApower and TCRAultra versionalso use a visible red laser beamwhich emerges in the same manner.

A special arrangement of the EDM,and appropriate arrangement of thebeam paths, enable ranges of overfive kilometres to be attained withstandard prisms.

Distance measurement

Reflector tapes can also be used,and measurement is also possiblewithout a reflector.

When a distancemeasurement is triggered,

the EDM measures to the objectwhich is in the beam path at thatmoment.

If e.g. people, cars, animals, swayingbranches, etc. cross the laser beam

while a measurement is being taken,a fraction of the laser beam isreflected and may lead to incorrectdistance values.Avoid interrupting the measuringbeam while taking reflectorlessmeasurements or measurementsusing reflective foils. Measurementsto prism reflectors are only critical if

an object crosses the measuringbeam at a distance of 0 to 30m andthe distance to be measured is morethan 300m.In practice, because the measuring

time is very short, the user canalways find a way of avoiding thesecritical situations.

Reflectorless

Be sure that the laser beamis not reflected by anything

close to the line of sight (e.g. highlyreflective objects).

When a distancemeasurement is triggered,

the EDM measures to the objectwhich is in the beam path at thatmoment. In case of temporary

obstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle,heavy rain, fog or snow) the EDMmay measure to the obstruction.

When measuring longer dis-tances, any divergence of

the red laser beam from the line ofsight might lead to less accuratemeasurements. This is because the

laser beam might not be reflectedfrom the point at which thecrosshairs are pointing.

Therefore, it is recommended to ver-ify that the R-laser is well collimatedwith the telescope line of sight (referto the chapter "Checking andadjusting").

Do not measure with twoinstruments to the same

target simultaneously.

Red laser to prisms

Accurate measurements toprisms should be made with

the standard program (Infraredmode).

Red laser to reflector tape

The visible red laser beam can beused to measure to reflective foils,also. To guarantee the accuracy thered laser beam must beperpendicular to the reflector tapeand it must be well adjusted (refer tothe chapter "Checking andadjusting").

Make sure the additive

constant belongs to theselected target (reflector).

Distance measurement


10/82


TCRApower and TCRAultrainstruments are motorized andequipped with Automatic TargetRecognition (ATR) coaxially in thetelescope. The Electronic GuideLight (EGL), mounted on thetelescope, is optional.

ATR mode

These instruments permit automaticmeasurements to normal prisms and

reduce the tedious task of precisevisual sighting to prisms.The prism is sighted with the opticalsight only. Initiating a distancemeasurement will turn the instrumentwith the help of the motors to sightthe prism-centre automatically.The angles V and Hz are measuredto the centre of the prism after

completion of the distancemeasurement.

Automatic Target Recognition ATR

As with all other instrumenterrors, the collimation error

of the automatic target recognition(ATR) must be redeterminedperiodically (Refer to chapter"Determing Instrument Errors"in theField Manual).

To speed up measuringtime, in ATR mode the

crosshairs are not positioned exactlyover the center of the prism. The

remaining distance between thecrosshairs and the center of theprism is measured electronically andthe horizontal and vertical angles arecorrected accordingly. As a result, inATR mode the displayed angles areof the usual precision andcorrespond to the specifications ofyour instrument.

Primary use/charging

The batteries must be charged priorto using for the first time because itis delivered with an energy contentas low as possible.

For new batteries or batteries thathave been stored for a long time (>three months), it is effectual tomake 2 - 5 charge/discharge cycles.

The permissible temperature rangefor charging is between 0C to

+35C / +32F to +95F. For optimalcharging we recommend a lowambient temperature of +10C to+20C / +50F to +68F.

Charging / Discharging Battery

Operation/Discharging

The batteries can be operated from-20C to +55C/-4F to +131F.Low operating temperaturesreduce the capacity that can bedrawn; very high operatingtemperatures reduce the servicelife of the battery.

To comply with electromagneticcompatibility (EMC) requirementswhen supplying the TPS700instruments from an external powersupply, it is necessary to fit a so-called ferrite core to the cable usedto 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 onto

the cable close to the Lemoconnector before the cable is usedwith a TPS700 instrument (approx. 2cm from the Lemo connector).

The laser plummet is integrated intothe vertical axis of the instrument.Under normal circumstances settingof the laser plummet is not

necessary. 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 360and observe the red laser spot.

Inspecting the laser plummet shouldbe carried out on a bright, smooth

and horizonal surface (e.g. a sheetof paper).

If the centre of the laser spot makesa clearly circular movement or if thecentre of the point is moving awaymore than 3 mm from the firstmarked point an adjustment ispossibly necessary. Call yournearest Leica service department.

Reflectorless EDM

The red laser beam used formeasuring without reflector isarranged coaxially with the line ofsight of the telescope, and emerges

from 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 candisplace the red measuring beamrelative to the 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 inaccuratedistance measurements.
