Danger Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
TPS1200 Introduction Validity of this manual 4 Description General This manual applies to all TPS1200 Series instruments. Where there are differences between the various models they are clearly described. Telescope In regard to the instrument EDM, a TPS1200 instrument may be equipped with one of two types of telescopes, which offer the same performance but differ in some technical details.
Description Telescope Type 1 • When measuring distances to a reflector with EDM mode "IR" this telescope type uses a wide infrared laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective. • Instruments that are equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM modes "RL" and "LO". When using these EDM modes a narrow visible red laser beam is used to measure distances.

3.5 Battery 3.5.1 Operating Principles ) Operation Primary use/charging • The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered 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.
TPS1200 Operation 74 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.

TPS1200 Operation Field Option 84 Description The instrument has numerous user configuration parameters and functions. This allows a variety of preferences to be addressed. The configuration of the parameters and functions for an individual measuring technique are combined in a configuration set. Choicelist Displays the active reflector. All reflectors from Main Menu: Manage...\Reflectors. All listed reflectors can be selected.
3.8 Guidelines for Correct Results ) Very short distances may be measured reflectorless in IR mode 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.
Operation TPS1200 86 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.
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. ) ) ) Operation As with all other instrument errors, the collimation error of the automatic target recognition must be redetermined periodically. Refer to "4 Check & Adjust" about checking and adjusting instruments.
TPS1200 Check & Adjust 4 4.1 88 Check & Adjust Overview Description Electronic adjustment 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.
Every angle measured in the daily work is corrected automatically if the compensator and the Hz-corrections are activated in the instrument configuration. Select Main Menu: Config...\Instrument Settings...\Compensator to check the settings. View current adjustment errors The currently used adjustment errors can be viewed under Main Menu: Tools.../Check & Adjust...\Current Values.
TPS1200 Check & Adjust ) 90 • To measure targets in two faces.

TPS1200 Technical Data • The accuracy with which the position of a prism can be determined with Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) depends on several factors such as internal ATR accuracy, instrument angle accuracy, prism type, selected EDM measuring program and the external measuring conditions. The ATR has a basic standard deviation level of ± 2 mm. Above a certain distance, the instrument angle accuracy predominates and takes over the standard deviation of the ATR.

TPS1200 Technical Data 7.10 204 Scale Correction Use Atmospheric correction ΔD1 By entering a scale correction, reductions proportional to distance can be taken into account. • Atmospheric correction • Reduction to mean sea level • Projection distortion The slope distance displayed is correct if the scale correction in ppm, mm/km, which has been entered corresponds to the atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time of the measurement.
Air humidity Air humidity correction • Air pressure to 3 mbar • Relative humidity to 20 % The air humidity influences the distance measurement if the climate is extremely hot and damp. For high precision measurements, the relative humidity must be measured and entered along with the air pressure and the temperature.
