Distance measurementA laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into theinstruments of the TPS400 series.In all versions, the distance can be determined byusing a laser beam which emerges coaxially fromthe telescope objective.Measurements to strongly reflectingtargetssuch as to traffic lights in Reflector EDMmode without prism should be avoided. Themeasured distances may be wrong or inaccurate.For applications without reflector, a special arrangementof the EDM, and appropriate arrangement ofthe beam paths, enable ranges of over five kilometresto be attained with standard prisms.Miniprisms, 360° reflectors and reflector tapes canalso be used, and measurement is also possiblewithout a reflector.When a distance measurement is triggered,the EDM measures to the object which isin the beam path at that moment.If e.g. people, cars, animals, swaying branches, etc.cross the laser beam while a measurement is beingtaken, a fraction of the laser beam is reflected andmay lead to incorrect distance values.Avoid interrupting the measuring beam while takingreflectorless measurements or measurements usingreflective foils. Measurements to prism reflectors areonly critical if an object crosses the measuring beamat a distance of 0 to 30m and the distance to bemeasured is more than 300m.In practice, because the measuring time is veryshort, the user can always find a way of avoidingthese critical situations.Very short distances may be measuredreflectorlessin IR mode to well reflecting targets.Note that the distances are corrected with the additiveconstant defined for the active reflector.TPS400-5.0.1en20 Operating the Instrument

Incorrect resultReflectorlessBe sure that the laser beam is not reflectedby anything close to the line of sight (e.g. highlyreflective objects).When a distance measurement is triggered,theEDM measures to the object which is in thebeam path at that moment. In case of temporaryobstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fogor snow) the EDM may measure to the obstruction.When measuring longer distances, anydivergenceof the red laser beam from the line ofsight might lead to less accurate measurements.This is because the laser beam might not bereflected from the point at which the crosshairs arepointing.Therefore, it is recommended to verify that the R-laser is well collimated with the telescope line ofsight (refer to the chapter "Checking and adjusting").Do not measure with two instruments to thesametarget simultaneously.Correct resultOperating the Instrument21TPS400-5.0.1en

Red laser to prismsAccurate measurements to prisms shouldbe made with the standard program (Reflector EDMmode).Red laser to reflector tapeThe visible red laser beam can be used to measureto reflective foils, also. To guarantee the accuracythe red laser beam must be perpendicular to thereflector tape and it must be well adjusted (refer tothe chapter "Checking and adjusting").Make sure the additive constant belongs totheselected target (reflector).TPS400-5.0.1en22 Operating the Instrument

When using the GEB121 battery, removethe spacer for the GEB111 from the batterycompartment.Charging / first-time use• The battery must be charged prior to using forthe first time because it is delivered with anenergy content as low as possible.• For new batteries or batteries that have beenstored for a long time (> three months), it iseffectual to make 3 - 5 charge/discharge cycles.• The permissible temperature range for chargingis between 0°C to +35°C / +32°F to +95°F. Foroptimal charging we recommend charging thebatteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°Cto +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.• It is normal for the battery to become warmduring charging. Using the chargers recommendedby Leica Geosystems, it is not possibleto charge the battery if the temperature is toohigh. Operation/DischargingThe batteries can be operated from -20°C to+55°C/-4°F to +131°F.Low operating temperatures reduce the capacitythat can be drawn; very high operating temperaturesreduce the service life of the battery.TPS400-5.0.1en28 Measuring Preparation /Setting up

External power supply for totalstationTo meet the conditions stipulated for electromagneticacceptability when powering the TPS400 froman external source, the supply cable used must beequipped with a ferrite core.The Lemo plug with the ferrite core alwayshasto be attached at the instrument side.For assembling open up one ferrite core and clip itaround the supply cable, about 2cm away from theLemo plug, before using the supply cable for the firsttime together with a TPS400 instrument.The cables supplied along with your instrumentinclude a ferrite core as standard.If you are using older cables without ferrite core, it'snecessary to attach ferrite cores to the cable.If you need additional ferrite cores, please contactyour local Leica Geosystems agency.

Press the [MENU] fixed key.2. Selecting the "Program" option.3. Calling up applications and activatingstart programs.[PAGE] Scroll to next page.TPS400-5.0.1en56 Programs

SurveyingWith the program Surveying the measurement of anunlimited number of points is supported. It is comparableto "Meas & Rec", but includes stationing, orientationand coding.Two coding methods are available:1. Simple coding = remark:Input a code/remark in the relevant field. Thesetext is stored with the corresponding measurementwith [ALL]. The code is not related to acodelist, it is just a simple remark. A codelist onthe instrument is not necessary.2. Expanded coding with codelist:Press the [CODE] softkey. The code that wasinput is searched for within the code list and it ispossible to add attributes to the code.Codes are always stored as free codes(Wi41-49),that means that codes are not directlylinked to a point. Point codes (Wi71-79) are notavailable.Procedure:1. Input PtID, codes and the reflector height ifdesired.2. [ALL] Triggers and records measurements.[IndivPt] Switches between individual andcurrent point number.Programs57TPS400-5.0.1en

Stake outThis program calculates the required elements tostakeout points from coordinates or manuallyentered angles, horizontal distances and heights.Setting out differences can be displayed continuously.Setting out coordinates from memoryProcedure:Select the point.[DIST] Starts measurement and calculation ofthe stake-out elements.[REC] Saves the displayed values.[B&D] Input direction and Hz-distance of stakeout point.[MANUAL] Enables simplified input of a pointwithout PtID and without the possibilityof storing the data of the point.Polar Stake outNormal indication of polar stake out offsets Hz, , .1) Actual2) Point to be stake outHz: Angle offset: positive if point to be setoutis to the right of the actual direction. : Longitudinal offset: positive if point to bestake out is further away. : Height offset: positive if point to bestake out is higher than measured point.TPS400-5.0.1en58 Programs

Free StationThe application "Free Station" is used to determinethe instrument position from measurements to aminimum of two known points and a maximum offive known points.The following measurements sequences totarget points are possible:1. Hz- and V-angles only (resection)2. Distance and Hz- and V-angle (3 pointresection)3. Hz- and V-angles to some point(s) and Hz- andV-angle plus distance to other point(s).The final computed results are Easting, Northingand Height of the present instrument station,including the instruments Hz-circle orientation.Standard deviations and residuals for accuracyassessments are provided.For the calculation of the station, measured targetpoints can be re-measured, disabled and againenabled.TPS400-5.0.1en60 Programs

Measuring facilitiesSingle face I or II or dual face I + II measurementsare always possible. No specific point sequence orspecific face sequences are required.Gross errors checks are made for dual facemeasurements to ensure the same point(s) aresighted with the other face.If a target point is measured several times inthesame telescope position the last valid measurementis used for computation.Measurement restrictions:• 2 face measurementsWhen measuring the same target in both faces,the reflector height may not be altered whenchanging the telescope position.• Target points with 0.000 heightTarget points with 0.000 height are discarded forheight processing. If target points have a validheight of 0.000 m, use 0.001 m to enable it forheight processing.Computation procedureThe measuring procedure automatically determinesthe method of evaluation, e.g. resection, 3 pointresection, etc.If more than the minimum required measurementsare performed, the processing routine uses a leastsquares adjustment to determine the plan positionand averages orientation and heights.1. The original averaged face I and face IImeasurements enter the computation process.2. All measurements are treated with the sameaccuracy, whether these are measured in singleor dual face.3. Easting and northing is determined by themethod of least squares, including standarddeviation and improvements for Hz-directionand horizontal distances.4. The final height (H) is computed from averagedheight differences based on the originalmeasurements.5. The Hz-circle orientation is computed with theoriginal averaged face I and face II measurementsand the final computed plan position.Programs61TPS400-5.0.1en

CalibrationsDetermining Line-of-sight error and V-IndexThe calibration contains the determination of thefollowing instrument errors:• Hz-collimation• V-index (simultaneously electronic level)For determining the Hz-collimation or the V-index itis necessary to measure in both telescope positions.The procedure can be started in any telescope position.The user is guided clearly through the procedure. Awrong determination of instrument error is thus eliminated.The instruments are adjusted in the factory prior toshipping.Instrument errors can change with time and temperature.These errors should be determined beforethe instrument is used for the first time, before precisionsurveys, after long periods of transport, beforeand after long periods of work, and if the temperaturechanges by more than 10°C (18°F).Before determining the instrumenterrors, level-up the instrument using theelectronic bubble. The instrument shouldbe secure and firm, and should beprotected from direct sunlight in order to avoidthermal expansion on one side only.Calibrations107TPS400-5.0.1en

Line-of-sight error (Hz-collimation)V-Index (Vertical index error)The line-of-sight error or collimation error (C) is thedeviation from the perpendicular between the tiltingaxis and the line of sight.The effect of the line-of-sight error to the Hz-angleincreases with the vertical angle.For horizontal aimings the error of Hz equals theline-of-sight error.The vertical circle should read exactly 90° (100 gon)when the line of sight is horizontal. Any deviationfrom this figure is termed vertical index error (i).By determining the vertical index error the electroniclevel is adjusted automatically.Procedures and conditions required tocorrectline-of-sight and height index errors are thesame.
