    6 All TPS1100 instruments areroutinely supplied with a laserplummet located in the vertical axis.The TPS1100 can therefore be setup quickly and accurately over theground point with the help of the redlaser dot.

    The A-versions have an automatictarget recognition (ATR), whichpermits rapid, fatigue-freemeasuring. In ATR mode the fine-pointing is automatic. In LOCK modean already-targeted point is trackedautomatically.For TPS1100 plus instruments anoptional PowerSearch module isavailable which allows an automaticprism detection within a short periodof time.

    The EGL guide light is an optionalaccessory for assistance withtargeting. It is located within thetelescope and it flashes, so that theperson carrying the reflector can

    IntroductionTPS1100 stands for Total StationPositioning System. The TPS1100instruments are available as variousmodels with differing classes ofaccuracy. New technologies haveenabled the measuring sequence tobe largely automated, bringingadvantages such as shortermeasuring times, simpler operationand more efficient use. Furtherelements in the basic equipment aredescribed below.

    The R versions have a laser with avisible red beam. The EDM can beswitched between two operationalmodes: measurements with normalinfrared or with the visible red laserrespectively. With the red laser,reflectors are not required formeasuring distances. With infrared,distances of up to seven kilometrescan be measured.

    place this in the line of sight of theinstrument.The RCS1100 remote control systemis an additional option, which allowsthe remote control of all total stations.The instrument can be controlledeither directly on the instrument or atthe RCS1100. Especially theA-versions enable the surveyor towork alone.The measurements can also betriggered, inspected and controlledfrom the target area.

    Leica Geosystems offersapplications programs for many dif-ferent tasks in surveying. Justchoose the software which bestmeets your needs.

    Within the special GeoBasicprogramming environment, you cancreate your own application-specificprograms for the TPS1100instruments.

    A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporatedinto the instruments of the newTPS1100 series.In all versions, the distance can bedetermined by using an invisibleinfrared beam which emerges coaxiallyfrom the telescope objective.

    Very short distances may bemeasured reflectorless in

    Infrared-mode (e.g. to well reflectingtargets like traffic signs). In this casethe distances are corrected with theaddition constant defined for theactive reflector.For applications without reflector, theTCR and TCRA version also use avisible red laser beam which emergesin the same manner. A specialarrangement of the EDM, andappropriate arrangement of the beampaths, enable ranges of over fivekilometres to be attained with standardprisms; miniprisms, 360 reflectors, andreflector tapes can also be used, andmeasurement is also possible without areflector.

    Distance measurement

    When a distancemeasurement is triggered,

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

    When measurements are beingmade using the Reflectorless RedLaser EDM, the results may beinfluenced by objects passingbetween the EDM and the intendedtarget surface.This will occur because reflectorlessmeasurements are made to the firstsurface returning sufficient energy toallow the measurement to take place.For example, if the intended targetsurface is the surface of a road, but avehicle passes between the EDMand the target surface as DIST orALL is pressed, the measurementmay be made to the side of thevehicle. The result will be thedistance to the vehicle, not to theroad surface.If you are using the Long Range RedLaser EDM while measuring to aprism, and an object passes within

    30 m of the EDM as DIST or ALL ispressed, the distance measurementmay be similarly effected.

    In practice, because the measuringtime is very short, the surveyor canalways find a way of avoiding criticalsituations.

    The optional "Extended Range (XR)"-laser is a visible red laser within-creased measurement range. Thecoaxial XR - laser makes it possibleto measure distances over 170 m(560 ft) reflectorless and over 10 km(6.2 miles) to one prism (refer to thechapter "Technical specifications").

    The operation of an XR - instrumentis equivalent to a conventional TPSwith red laser. Please consider thefollowing points when measuring withthe XR - laser (RL & Long Range).

    The objective lens shouldalways be clean. Dirt on the

    lens (dust, fingerprints, ...) can leadto reduced accuracy.

    Reflectorless

    Be sure that the laser beamis not reflected by anything

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

    Extended Range (Option)

    Long Range to prisms

    WARNING:Due to laser safetyregulations and measuring

    accuracy, using the Long Range Pro-gram is only allowed to prisms thatare more than 1000 m (3300 ft) away.

    Whenever possible accuratemeasurements to prisms

    should be made with the standardprogram (IR).

    Long Range to reflector tape

    The Long Range Program can alsomeasure to reflector tape. To guaran-tee the accuracy the laser beammust be perpendicular to the reflectortape and the XR - laser must be welladjusted (refer to the chapter"Checking and adjusting").

    When a distancemeasurement is triggered,

    the EDM measures to the objectwhich is in the beam path at thatmoment. In case of temporaryobstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle) orheavy 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 thelaser beam might not be reflectedfrom the point at which thecrosshairs are pointing.

    Therefore, it is recommended to ver-ify that the XR - laser is well colli-mated with the telescope line of sight(refer to the chapter "Checking andadjusting"). This should be done atregular intervals.

    Do not measure with twoinstruments to the same

    target simultaneously.

    TCA and TCRA instruments aremotorized and equipped withAutomatic Target Recognition (ATR)coaxially in the telescope. The guidelight (EGL), mounted on thetelescope, isoptional.

    ATR mode

    These instruments permit automaticangle and distance measurements tonormal prisms and reduce the tediumof precise visual 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 completionof the distance measurement.

    Automatic Target Recognition ATR / LOCK

    LOCK mode

    Lock mode will enable TCAinstruments to follow a moving prism.Distances can be measuredwhenever the prism stops for a shorttime ("Stop and Go mode").

    If the assistant changes thelocation too quickly, the

    target may be lost. Make sure thatthe speed does not exceed the figuregiven in the technical data.

    As with all other instrumenterrors, the collimation error

    of the automatic target recognition(ATR) must be redeterminedperiodically (Refer to chapter"Checking and Adjusting").

    At a target distance of 100 metres(330 ft) a red/yellow flashing cone oflight with a width of 6m (20 ft) isformed on each side. As a result,guiding to the line of sight of theinstrument is much easier and faster.

    Between the two cones of light asector about 30mm wide is created.Within this sector both colours areflashing simultaneously. In this casethe prism is already right in the line ofsight.

    Operating range:5 - 150 m (15 -500 ft)

    Divergence:10 m (33ft) at 100m (330 ft)

    RCS (Remote Controlled Surveying)

    The RCS option (Remote ControlledSurveying) permits all models to becontrolled from the target area.Especially qualified for this purposeare the TCA and TCRA instruments.

    RCS 1100

    For further information, referto the RCS1100 usermanual.

    Combined operation, partly at theTPS1100 and partly at the prism, isalso possible.As a result, surveys can beperformed solo. It is also possible tomonitor the operation on the RCS1100 and / or to enter the coding onthe RCS 1100.

    System concept, continued

    Survey data is generally stored on aSRAM or ATA flash cardcorresponding to PCMCIA standards(referred to here as a PC card). Thedata are stored in MS-DOS fileformat. Data is exchanged with a PCthrough either a PCMCIA drive onthat PC, or an OMNI drive (optional),or the serial interface (cable linkbetween instrument and PC).The Leica Survey Office softwaresupplied with the instrument includesa program for transferring dataacross the serial interface.

    Instead of using the PC card, thedata can be output in GSI format atthe serial data interface.

    When data is transferredacross the serial interface

    for storage in an external PC, no datafrom the applications is output in thereport file. Fixed-point coordinatescan be read only from the PC card.

    External power supply for total station

    To meet the conditions stipulated forelectromagnetic acceptability whenpowering the TPS1100 from anexternal source, the supply cableused must be equipped with a ferritecore.

    The Lemo plug with theferrite core always has to be

    attached at the instrument side.

    The cables supplied along with yourinstrument include a ferrite core asstandard.If you are using older cables withoutferrite core, it's necessary to attachferrite cores to the cable.If you need additional ferrite cores,please contact your local Leica Geo-systems agency. The spare-partnumber of the ferrite core is 703 707.

    For assembling open up one ferritecore and clip it around the supplycable, about 2cm away from theLemo plug, before using the supplycable for the first time together with aTPS1100 instrument.11

    Checking and adjusting

    All instruments basically haveinherent mechanical defects whichcan affect the measurement ofangles. The electronic angle-measuring system of the TPS1100routinely corrects the mechanicalinstrument errors listed below; thevertical angles relate to the plumbline and the horizontal measurementsare corrected for line-of-sight error,for tilting-axis error and for vertical-axis tilt:

    l, t Compensator index error i Vertical-index error c Line-of-sight error a Tilting-axis error ATR ATR zero-point error (only for

    TCA and TCRA versions)

    Take note that the procedurefor determining the relevant

    instrument error has to be followedprecisely and carefully.

    The determination of theinstrument errors can be

    started in any telescope face.

    Immediately after the firstmeasurement has been

    completed, motorized instrumentschange automatically to the secondface, after which the user merelyneeds to carry out the fine pointing.

    Electronically

    The instrument errors listed on theleft can change over time and withtemperature.

    They should, therefore, beredetermined in the order shownbelow: before the first use before each precision survey after long periods of transport after long periods of work if the temperature alters by more

    than 20C

    Before determining the instrumenterrors, level-up the instrument usingthe electronic bubble. The instrumentshould be secure and firm, andshould be protected from directsunlight in order to avoid thermalwarming on one side only.

    ATR collimation

    (Available for TCA and TCRAversions only)The ATR collimation error is thecombined horizontal and vertical an-gular divergence of the line of sightfrom the axis of the CCD camera.The collimation procedure includes,optionally, the determination of theline-of-sight error and the vertical-index error.The correction for the ATR collimationerrors is always applied regardless ofthe "ON/OFF" status of the Hz-correction setting. (See section"Deactivating the instrument-errorcorrection").

    Checking by turning the tribrach Adjustment

    Set-up and level the instrument onthe tripod. Check the centring sleevefor eccentricity by hanging it in placein various positions, then mark theground point. Remove the plumb-bob. Check that the crosshairs of theoptical plummet intersect at theground point. The accuracyachievable is about 1mm.

    Use a screwdriver to turn the two setscrews alternately by the same smallamount in order to centre thecrosshairs on the ground pointmarked.

    Inspect the optical plummetof the tribrach regularly,

    because any deviation of its line ofsight from the vertical axis will resultin a centring error.

    1. Level-up the instrument using theelectronic bubble. Mark the groundpoint. Using a soft, well-sharpenedpencil, mark the outline of thetribrach on the tripod plate.

    2. Turn the tribrach 120 and level-up the instrument, fit it into theoutline, and again mark the groundpoint.

    3. Repeat again in the third position.

    If the three points do not coincide,adjust the crosshairs to the centre ofthe triangle formed by the threeground points.

    Laser plummet

    The laser plummet is located in thevertical axis of the instrument.

    Under normal conditions of use thelaser plummet does not needadjusting. If an adjustment isnecessary due to external influencesthe instrument has to be returned toany Leica Geosystems servicedepartment.

    Inspecting by turning the plummet360:1. Place the instrument on the tripod

    and level it up.2. Switch on the laser plummet and

    mark the centre of the red dot.3. Slowly turn the instrument through

    360, carefully observing themovement of the red laser dot.

    Inspection of the laser plummetshould be carried out on a bright,smooth and horizonal surface (e.g. asheet of paper).

    Laser dot:Diam. 2.5 mm /1.5 m

    If the centre of the laser dotdescribes a perceptible circularmovement or moves more than 3 mmaway from the point which was firstmarked, an adjustment may berequired. Inform your nearest LeicaGeosystems service workshop.

    Depending on brightness andsurface, the diameter of the laser dotcan vary. At a distance of 1.5 m it willbe about 2.5mm.The maximum diameter of thecircular movement described by thecentre of the laser point should notexceed 3 mm at a distance of 1.5m.

    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 dot on thetarget plate. Generally speaking thered dot cannot be seen through thetelescope, so look at the target platefrom just above the telescope or fromjust to the side of it.If the dot illuminates the cross, theachievable adjustment precision hasbeen reached; if it lies outside thelimits of the cross, the direction of thebeam needs to be adjusted.

    Reflector-free 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.

    Z29

    If the dot 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(dot on target plate moves obliquelyupwards) or anticlockwise (dotmoves obliquely downwards).To correct the beam laterally, insertthe screwdriver into the frontadjustment port and turn it clockwise(dot moves to the right) oranticlockwise (dot moves to the left).

    Reflector-free EDM, continued

    Throughout the adjustmentprocedure, keep the

    telescope pointing to the target plate.

    After each adjustment,replace the plugs in the ports

    System functionsThis section describes the systemfunctions of the TPS1100instruments.The presentation of the dialogs, andthe sequence and names of theindividual functions, are inaccordance with the basic TPS1100configuration.

    Data configuration

    Data job (D JOB) and meas. job (M JOB)

    A distinction is made between: Input data, which are generally

    fixed-point coordinates, and Output data, which are generally

    measurements, coordinates, orvalues derived from "new points."

    It is useful to store the input data andthe output data in two separate files,although they can be stored togetherin one file.

    Up to 60 files can be managed.The names of the files can bechosen freely, but the extension mustalways be GSI (e.g."PROJ2563.GSI").

    In the directory \LOG, additional datafrom most of the loadableapplications can be stored in aprotocol file.

    The data can be output in GSI formatto the serial interface instead of on tothe PC card.

    If the data is stored on theserial interface, no data from

    the applications will be output to theprotocol file. Fixed-point coordinatescan be read only from the PC card.

    The search for stored data can be made easier if a placeholder is usedinstead of the complete point number. In the TPS1000, a decimal point "." isused instead of the more usual star "*", because it is more easily entered.There is no entry corresponding to "?".

    Example of the use of placeholders:

    If a number with placeholder is entered instead of the complete point number,the controlled data search is always started and the first matching data setis displayed. The subsequent procedure is the same as that used whenentering a complete point number.

    If Point Codes and Attributesneed to be stored , it must

    be defined in the recording mask. Ifattributes are defined in the displaymask, they can directly be entered inthe measuring dialog.

    The standard REC masksare different from the

    standard display mask. The RECmask does not include the reflectorheight, for example. If the heights oftargets are to be inspected in theoffice, the attribute "Refl. Height"must be added to the recordingmask.

    Setting the recording mask (RMask), cont.

    Activates the function from the "DIS-PLAY MASK" dialog.

    Three DSP masks can be defined.

    The 12 lines can be set up by usingthe parameters available from thelists.

    Setting the display mask (DMask)

    Each line can display any and all ofthe available display data.

    Sets the current DSP mask to"Standard", i.e. to the DSP

    masks originally defined.
