Application
programs
A suite of optional survey-specific application programs are
available for the instrument.
Some of the programs are activated freely and require no licence
key and others require purchasing and are only activated with a
licence key.
Customised
application
programs
Customised software specific to user requirements can be devel-
oped using the GeoC++ development kit. Information on the
GeoC++ development environment is available on request from
a Leica Geosystems representative.
Software upload
All instrument software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument. The software
can be uploaded onto the instrument using the following methods:
•
Using LGO the software is transferred via the serial interface to the Compact-
Flash card in the instrument, which is then stored to the System RAM.
•
By connecting the CompactFlash card directly to the computer either via an
internal card slot housing or an external OMNI drive, the software is transferred
to the card, which is then stored to the System RAM.
2.2.2
Data Storage and Data Conversion Concept
Description
Data is stored within a job in a database on a memory device. This is either a
CompactFlash card or an internal memory if fitted.
Memory device
CompactFlash card:
A CompactFlash card housing is standard. A Compact-
Flash card can be inserted and removed. Various storing
capacities are available.
Whilst other CompactFlash cards may be used,
Leica recommends Leica CompactFlash cards
and cannot be held responsible for data loss or
any other error that may occur when using a
non-Leica card.
)
Internal memory:
An internal memory is optional. It resides inside the instru-
ment. Available capacity: 64 MB.
Unplugging connecting cables or removing the CompactFlash card during the meas-
urement may cause loss of data. Always return to TPS1200 Main Menu before
removing the CompactFlash card and switch off the instrument before removing
cables.

Data conversion
Export
Data can be exported from a job in a wide range of ASCII formats. The export format
is defined in Format Manager which is a PC tool in LEICA Geo Office. Refer to the
online help of LGO for information on creating format files.
Import
Data can be imported from ASCII, GSI8 or GSI16 format.
Transfer raw data
to LGO
Raw data can be transferred between the database on the CompactFlash card or
the internal memory of the instrument and LGO in two ways:
•
From the CompactFlash card or the internal memory directly via a serial inter-
face to a project in LGO on a PC.
•
From the CompactFlash card using for example an OMNI drive as supplied by
Leica Geosystems to a project in LGO on a PC.
CompactFlash cards can be used directly in an OMNI drive as supported by Leica
Geosystems. Other PC card drives may require an adapter.

Instrument Setup
Description
This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser
plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked
ground point.
Important features:
)
• It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and
avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.
• The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the
instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier
to centre the instrument.
• The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equipped
with an optical plummet.
• Refer to "TPS1200 Technical Reference Manual" for additional information on
using the laser plummet.

Battery
4.5.1
Operating Principles
Primary use/charging
)
•
•
•
The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv-
ered with an energy content as low as possible.
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the
charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly form the actual
battery capacity available.
•
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F
to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if
the temperature is too high.
Operation/Discharging
•
•
The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

Guidelines for Correct Results
General
TPS1200 instruments measure a distance using an invisible infrared laser beam
which emerges coaxial from the telescope objective. For application programs
without reflector a visible red laser beam is used which emerges in the same
manner. The visible red laser beam is available for reflectorless instruments.
Very short distances may be measured reflectorless with the infrared EDM to well
reflecting targets. Note that the distances are corrected with the additive constant
defined for the active reflector.
)
Distance
measurement
TPS12_002
When measurements are being made using the red laser EDM, the results may be
influenced by objects passing between the EDM and the intended target surface.
This occurs because reflectorless measurements are made to the first surface
returning sufficient energy to allow the measurement to take place. For example, if
the intended target surface is the surface of a road, but a vehicle passes between
the EDM and the target surface as DIST (F2) or ALL (F1) is pressed, the measure-
ment may be made to the side of the vehicle. The result is the distance to the vehicle,
not to the road surface.
If using the red laser EDM for long range measurements to a prism, and an object
passes within 30 m of the EDM as DIST (F2) or ALL (F1) is pressed, the distance
measurement may be similarly effected due to the strength of the laser signal.
Due to laser safety regulations and measuring accuracy, using the Long Range
Reflectorless EDM is only allowed to prisms that are more than 1000 m (3300 ft)
away.
ƽ
Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in Infrared EDM mode.
)
)
When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which
is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, for example a passing
vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the instrument and the point to be meas-
ured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction.
Operation
TPS1200
87
Operation
)
TPS1200
88
Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously to avoid
getting mixed return signals.
ATR/lock
Instruments equipped with an ATR sensor permit automatic angle and distance
measurements to prisms. The prism is sighted with the optical sight. After initiating
a distance measurement, the instrument sights the prism centre automatically.
Vertical and horizontal angles and the distance are measured to the centre of the
prism. The lock mode enables the instrument to follow a moving prism.
As with all other instrument errors, the collimation error of the automatic target recog-
and adjusting instruments.
)
)
)
When a measurement is triggered while the prism is still moving, distance and angle
measurements may not be made for the same position and wrong coordinates may
be calculated.
If the prism location is changed too quickly, the target may be lost. Make sure that
the speed does not exceed the figure given in the technical data.

Overview
Description
Leica instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible
quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and
decrease the instrument accuracy.
It is therefore recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures.
The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as
described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical
parts can be adjusted mechanically.
Electronic
The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically:

Preparation
Before determining the instrument errors, the instrument has to be levelled-
up using the electronic level. SHIFT F12 to access STATUS Level & Laser
Plummet, Level page.
)
The tribrach, the tripod and the underground should be very stable and
secure from vibrations or other disturbances.
The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight in order to avoid
thermal warming.
)
It is also recommended to avoid strong heat shimmer and air turbulence.
The best conditions are usually early in the morning or with overcast sky.
Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient
temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from
storage to working environment but at least 15 min should be taken into account.
)
)
Note, that even after good adjustment of the ATR, the crosshairs might not be posi-
tioned exactly on the centre of the prism after an ATR measurement has been
executed. This is a normal effect. To speed up the ATR measurement, the telescope
is normally not positioned exactly on the centre of the prism. The small rest devia-
tions, the ATR offsets are measured individually for each measurement and
corrected electronically. This means that the Hz- and V- angles are corrected twice:
first by the determined ATR errors for Hz and V and then by the individual small devi-
ations of the current pointing.

Adjustment of the Reflectorless EDM
General
The red laser beam used for measuring without reflector is arranged coaxially with
the line of sight of the telescope, and emerges from the objective port. If the instru-
ment is well adjusted, the red measuring beam coincides with the visual line of sight.
External influences such as shock, stress or large temperature fluctuations can
displace the red measuring beam relative to the line of sight.
The direction of the beam should be inspected before precise measurements of
distances are attempted, because an excessive deviation of the laser beam from the
line of sight can result in imprecise distance measurements.
)
Warning
Direct intrabeam viewing is always hazardous.
Precautions:
ƽ
Do not stare into the beam or direct it towards other people unnecessarily. These
measures are also valid for the reflected beam.

scope, so look at the target plate from just above the telescope
or from just to the side of it.
)
5.
If the dot illuminates the cross on the plate, the achievable adjustment
precision has been reached; if it lies outside the limits of the cross, the
direction of the beam needs to be adjusted. Refer to paragraph "Adjusting

a) Only qualified and trained persons should be assigned to install, adjust and
operate the laser equipment.
b) Areas in which these lasers are used should be posted with an appropriate laser
warning sign.
c) Precautions should be taken to ensure that persons do not look directly, with or
without an optical instrument, into the beam.
d) The laser beam should be terminated at the end of its useful beam path and
should in all cases be terminated if the hazardous beam path extends beyond
the limit (hazard distance *)) of the area in which the presence and activities of
personnel are monitored for reasons of protection from laser radiation.
e) The laser beam path should be located well above or below eye level wherever
practicable.
f) When not in use the Laser Product should be stored in a location where unau-
thorized personnel cannot gain access.
g) Precautions should be taken to ensure that the laser beam is not unintentionally
directed at mirror-like, specular surfaces for example mirrors, metal surfaces or
windows. But, more importantly, at flat or concave mirror-like surfaces.
*) The hazard distance is the distance from the laser at which beam irradiance or
radiant exposure equals the maximum permissible value to which personnel
may be exposed without being exposed to a health risk.
Products with an integrated distancer of laser class 3R this hazard distance is
68 m / 224 ft. At this distance, the laser beam rates as Class 1M, that means direct
intrabeam viewing is not hazardous.
