User manual LEICA TPS400 VERSION 2.1

[. . . ] Leica TPS400 Series User Manual Version 2. 1 English Electronical Total Station Congratulations on your purchase of a new Leica Geosystems Total Station. This manual contains important safety directions as well as instructions for setting up the product and operating it. Read carefully through the User Manual before you switch on the product. Symbols used in this manual The symbols used in this User Manual have the following meanings: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. [. . . ] If the start sequence is activated, the stored key presses are executed automatically when the product is switched on. The automatic start sequence has the same effect as pressing the keys manually. "Relative entries" such as automatically setting "IR-FINE" upon switching on the product, are not possible. TC400Z82 [OK] Stores current settings. [RECORD] Defines the key presses that are executed automatically upon start up. [Play] Starts to run the recorded sequence. TPS400-2. 1. 0en 90 Start-up sequence Calibrations Determining Line-of-sight error and V-Index The calibration contains the determination of the following product errors: · Hz-collimation · V-index (simultaneously electronic level) For determining the Hz-collimation or the V-index it is necessary to measure in both telescope positions. These errors should be determined before the product is used for the first time, before precision surveys, after long periods of transport, before and after long periods of work, and if the temperature changes by more than 10°C (18°F). Before determining the product errors, level-up the product using the electronic bubble. The product should be secure and firm, and should be protected from direct sunlight in order to avoid thermal expansion on one side only. Calibrations 91 TPS400-2. 1. 0en Line-of-sight error (Hz-collimation) V-Index (Vertical index error) TC400Z83 The line-of-sight error or collimation error (C) is the deviation from the perpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the line-of-sight error to the Hz-angle increases with the vertical angle. For horizontal aimings the error of Hz equals the line-of-sight error. TC400Z84 The vertical circle should read exactly 90° (100 gon) when the line of sight is horizontal. By determining the vertical index error the electronic level is adjusted automatically. Procedures and conditions required to correct line-of-sight and height index errors are the same. Thus the procedure will only be described once. TPS400-2. 1. 0en 92 Calibrations Hz-collimation V-index Display adjustment value: Summarizes saved values. Aim at a point approximately 100m from the product which is within 5° of the horizontal. 4. For checking the horiontal aiming Hz and V are displayed. TC400Z86 5. [ESC] Quits program without setting new calibration data. TC400Z85 3. [ALL]: Trigger measurement.
