Introduction
TPS 1000 stands for Tachymat, Theodolite or Total
station Positioning System and expresses the true
integration of computerization with total station
technology.
The system offers more functionality and greater
flexibility for a wider variety of survey applications and
yet improves user comfort and productivity.
The large display is positioned conveniently under the
telescope to give the user access to much more
information at a glance. The keyboard, with its function
keys, is easily understood and permits convenient input.
Removable data storage, the large battery capacity and
on-board application programs ensure that every
available facility is contained in one unit. The TPS1000
is ready for use as soon as it is set up and turned on. No
additional cabling to batteries or data recorders is
necessary. However, external data loggers, computers
or batteries can be connected.
Computer industry standards have been incorporated
such as the removeable PCMCIA card for data storage.
The data structure is compatible with previous and other
current Leica total stations and electronic theodolites.
This permits data interchangeability with Leica GPS -
Systems. Individual application programs are available
or can be written by the user.
Motorized versions of the TPS-System 1000, and
versions equipped with the ATR1 automatic target
recognition system, ensure higher levels of productivity
for repetitive pointing or for stake out applications.
The TC2003/TCA2003 high-performance Total Station
differs considerably from other instruments of the
TPS1000 family in some features.
Three performance characteristics of the TC2003/
TCA2003 have changed
Angle measurement accuracy 0.5" (0.15 mgon)
Distance measurement accuracy 1 mm + 1 ppm
Searching accuracy (TCA version)
up to 200m 1 mm
(All specifications are standard deviations)

All instruments of the 2003 version are supplied with a
quality certificate.
As standard the application software"Monitoring" is
implemented in the TCA2003.
The TC2003/TCA2003 instruments are equipped with a
special carrying handle. This handle is an integrated
part of the instrument and should always be fitted to the
instrument during measurements.
Make sure that the carrying handle is carefully fitted to
the instrument and that the mounting screws are tighten.

Preparing to measure
T- and TM - Versions
Before using the theodolite version for the first
time, certain precautions need to be taken:
The black plastic protective cover on the telescope
connector should be removed with a knife blade or
screwdriver before fitting the EDM (=Electronic

When the theodolite is used in conjunction with the
EMD models DI1001, DI1600, or DI2002, we
recommend using the GPH1A single-prism holder for
measuring over short distances.
Measuring with connected EDM is to be performed
when the EDM is above the telescope, otherwise
distances may be reduced wrongly.
Make sure that the ppm- and mm-values stored in the
EDM are reset to "0.00".
Line up the axis of the EDM to that of the theodolite as
described in the user manual for the EDM, but first
enter the model of EDM in the TPS1000. For more
information, please refer to the chapter "First steps".

The height difference between the telescope's optical
axis and the infra-red beam is corrected by the
corresponding difference at the target, therefore aim
the crosshairs at the yellow target mark.
Preparing to measure
with TC, TCM and
TCA - versions
For instruments with built-in EDM, no preliminary
adjustments to the EDM are required before use.
We recommend using the GPH1 single-prism holder.
The intersection of the vertices of the prism lies
exactly at the intersection of the rotation axes of the
reflector and can therefore be used directly as the
target. For perfect targeting of the GPH1 over longer
distances the additional GZT4 target is recommended.
The telescope of the EDM is adjusted during
manufacture so that the measuring beam lies exactly
on the optical axis.

System concept
The TPS1000 series includes many different
instruments: electronic theodolites and total stations of
various accuracy classes, with or without motorization,
and total stations with automatic targeting.
All of these models use the same software architecture
and the same concept for data storage and data flow.
Software architecture The software of the TPS1000 can be divided into two
groups:
The system software, which covers the basic
functions
The applications software, which supports survey-
specific applications and procedures.
The system software forms a coherent unit, whereas
the applications software can be compiled in
accordance with the individual requirements of the
user.
Using the "workbench" provided, both the system
software and the applications software can be loaded
across the serial interface by the user, who is in a
position to install improved software versions.

The software permits up to three languages to remain
stored simultaneously and one of them to be selected.
The range of language versions available is constantly
being expanded. If you need a particular language
version, please ask your agency about its availability.
Memory concept and
data flow
In general, measurement data is stored on an SRAM
memory card (from here on referred to as "MC") which
meets PCMCIA standards. Cards with a capacity
ranging from 512 Kbytes to 4 Mbytes can be used. The
data are stored in MS-DOS format. Data is exchanged
with the PC either through a PCMCIA drive on the PC
or across the serial interface. The "Workbench" disk
supplied with the product contains software appropriate
for data transfer across the serial interface.
The structure of the directory on the MC is fixed. It
includes two subdirectories for the TPS1000:
\GSI
\LOG
The directory \GSI includes files in the GSI data
format (see chapter "Data format").

A distinction is made between:
Input data, generally fixed-point coordinates
Output data, generally measurements, coordinates,
or derived values relating to "new points".
It is advisable to store the input and output data in two
separate files, although it is possible to store them
together in a single file.
A maximum of 24 files can be managed. Twelve of
them already have permanent names (FILE01.GSI to
FILE12.GSI) and are used primarily to store
measurement data (measurement files). The remaining
twelve files can be given any name, but this must
always terminate with GSI (e.g. PROJ2563.GSI). It is
useful to store the fixed-point coordinates in these files
(data files).
In the directory \LOG, additional data from most of
the loadable applications can be stored in a protocol
file.
Instead of using the MC, the data can be output in GSI
format at the serial data interface.
When data storage is performed across the serial
interface, no data from the applications is output into
the protocol file. Fixed-point coordinates can be read
only from the MC.
Normal operation involves an observer who keys-in
information and who moves the telescope and points
the instrument manually. The results of the
measurement are displayed and stored.
The instrument can also be operated partially by
sending user-defined commands across the serial
interface (reduced RS232 interface). If the instrument
has automatic target recognition, it can be operated
fully in this manner.

GeoBasic The GeoBasic development environment permits the
professional development of additional applications for
the TPS1000. For more information, please refer to
"GeoBasic Compiler and Keyboard Simulator", a copy
of which is available (in English only) from your local
Leica agency.
Two sets of commands are available for controlling the
instrument:
The GSI command set has a simple structure and
so can be easily learned. It is particularly suitable
for use in external data-recording instruments. It
contains control commands which are adequate for
simple applications in conjunction with motorized
instruments and with instruments having automatic
target recognition (ATR). For more information,
please refer to "WILD Instruments On-Line"
(document no. G-366-0en), a copy of which is
available (in English only) from your local Leica
agency.
The GeoCOM command set governs complex
operations in the TPS1000 instruments and is to be
preferred for the professional development of
control programs. For more information, please
refer to "GeoCOM Reference Manual" (document
no. G-560-0en), a copy of which is available (in
English only) from your local Leica agency.

Operating concept
The TPS1000 system is organized into various
functions, which are started via the function keys in
the main menu or via the hard keys.
The use of loadable applications can meet specific
user requirements, which are then called up from the
list of applications in the main menu.
Each application or function is divided into dialogs

Input/output dialog
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6
The dialog mostly consists of several display fields. To
enter a value, the cursor bar must be moved to the
appropriate field (e.g. "Point no.").
If the entry is concluded with the cursor bar can
then be moved to another input field (e.g. Refl. Height)
for entering this value.
If the entry field is closed with , this concludes
the input and generally also quits the dialog. All
values entered are accepted.
The cursor bar cannot be moved within a field used
exclusively for output. The values in that field (e.g.
measurements such as "Hz" and "V") cannot be
changed.
This rejects the entries made in a dialog field and
returns it to its condition before it was called. In
general there is a simultaneous jump back to the
previous dialog.

Measurement &
recording
The measurement dialog is of fundamental importance
in the TPS-System 1000. Using the appropriate
function keys, all of the information relevant to a
measurement can be entered. The comprehensive
functionality also covers requirements dictated by
unusual circumstances. The comprehensive flexibility
of the measurement dialog is also available for all
loadable applications but occasionally requires slight
modification.
The following basic functions are available:
- Simultaneous measurement of distance and angle,
using "ALL" for recording
- Separate distance measurement using "DIST" and
- Storage of the measurement "REC".
The horizontal circle can be oriented (Hz0) and
application programs started.
Input of various target point data under "TARGT".
Therse are:
- Entering target point numbers
- Target-point eccentricity
- Input of remarks 1 - 9
- Choosing various prisms and retro tape targets
- Defining various prism constants
- Entering values used to calculate the atmospheric
and geometrical distance corrections
- Entering the refraction coefficient
- Recalling the last point number to be recorded
- Changing the telescope face
- Entering manually-determined horizontal distances
- Incrementing the point number
- Switching from current- to other point numbers.

Storing DATA Measuring DISTANCE
This procedure offers the option of realigning the
telescope on another point after measuring the distance
and before measuring the angle. In this way two points
can be used for measurements of angle and distance.
It is therefore possible to record inaccessible points,
e.g. house corners, fences surrounded by hedges.

For calculations which depend on distance, the V-
angle after completion of the distance measurement is
used, along with the current Hz-direction.
Consequently, calculated heights and height
differences are retained and the coordinates for easting
and northing which correspond to the new Hz
direction are recalculated using the last-measured
distance.
The V-angle displayed corresponds to the position of
the telescope on completion of the distance
measurement. The V-angle is not altered until the
measurement is recorded, the last recorded point
number is recalled, a new distance is measured,
or is pressed.
When distances, heights, or height differences are
displayed as empty fields (i.e. -----), the V-angle is
continuously displayed and updated.
If, after the distance has been measured, changes are
made to the target-point data which have an influence
on the distance measured or on the height and height
difference (e.g. ppm, prism constant, reflector height,
refraction coefficient), the dependent data will be
correspondingly verified.

Geometrical correction
The geometrical distance correction is derived from the
projection distortion and the height above the reference
datum.
The calculation of the geometrical ppm follows the
formula for the Transversal Mercator Projection.
The individual factors are: the scale factor of the line
of projection (central meridian, Gauss-Krger = 1.0,
UTM = 0.9996, etc.); the offset from the line of
projection; the height above the reference datum
(normally this is the height above mean sea-level); and
an additional individual scale correction.
The distance without any projection distortion is used
to determine the height difference. The individually-set
scale adjustment is always applied to the distance.
The individual scale correction can be used to enter a
total geometrical correction.

Placeholder (wild cards)
The search for stored data can be made easier if a
placeholder is used instead of the complete point
number. In the TPS1000, a decimal point "." is used
instead of the more usual star "*", because it is more
easily entered. There is no entry corresponding to "?".
Example of the use of placeholders:
Input Results Remarks
11. 11, 110, 1101, 11ABC5,
111111
.11 11, ABC11, 11111
1.0 10, 100, 1ABCD0,
11111110
.10. 10, 3410ABC, 111110,
1000000
.1.0. 10, 341ABC0, 1123Z0Y,
1001A000
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 set is
displayed. The subsequent procedure is the same as
that used when entering a complete point number.
After 11 there can be any
character and in any
amount.
Before 11 there can be
any character and in any
amount.
Between 1 and 0 there
can be any character and
in any amount.
A 10 must be present at
least once.

front of a 0 at least once,
and any amount of
characters can be present
between them.

Prism for attachable

When using the theodolite in connection with DI1001,
DI1600, or DI2002 EDMs for measuring over short
distances, we recommend using the GPH1A single-
prism holder.

The height difference between the telescope's optical
axis and the infra-red beam is corrected by the
corresponding difference at the target, therefore aim
the crosshairs at the yellow target mark.
The GPH1Z / GRZ3 single-prism holder is
recommended for measurements with the DI3000.

Prism for incorporated
EDM
For measuring distances we recommend using the
GPH1 single-prism holder. The intersection of the
vertices of the prism lies exactly at the intersection of
the rotation axes of the reflector and can therefore be
used directly as the target. For perfect targeting of the
GPH1 over longer distances the additional GZT4
target is recommended. The EDM telescope is adjusted
during manufacture so that the measuring beam lies
exactly on the optical axis.

The GRZ4 360 reflector The GRZ4 reflector is a special 360-degree prism and
is available as an option. It allows measurements and
automatic target recognition from any direction.
Since it does not always need to be turned towards the
instrument, the reflector provides additional comfort
for a rodman and improved surveying efficiency.
The grouping of the 6 prisms of the 360 reflector
makes
the accuracy of horizontal measurement and
the accuracy of vertical measurement
with automatic target recognition independent of the
position of the reflector.
The overall positioning accuracy of the reflector is 5
mm in distance and 5 mm for the angle (horizontal
and vertical).When the arrow on the upper rubberized
mount points towards the instrument and therefore the
front face of a prism points towards the EDM, the
accuracy is improved.
The GRZ4 reflector is highly recommended for
topographic and stake-out surveys. Leica circular
prisms are recommended for surveys requiring higher
accuracy than that provided by the GRZ4 prism.

Leica retro tapes
Retro tapes can be attached permanently to an object
for the purposes of monitoring or for frequent repeat
measurements. A retro tape may also be useful for the
once-and-for-all marking of a point which is difficult
to access.
The retro tapes should always be attached in the
preferential direction (Leica logo readable acc. to fig.).

two positions.
For short ranges of up to 10m (33ft) the additional
lens 632 364 is required. (Measuring error without
additional lens > 10mm). It is important that the
additional lens is placed to the instrument in the

Long distances Over longer distances or in inclement meteorological
conditions it is better to use the GPH3 three-prism
holder or the GPH11 eleven-prism holder, with the
corresponding number of reflectors, irrespective of

Leica circular prism 0 mm
Leica retro tape +34.4 mm
GRZ4 360 reflector +23.1 mm
The prism constant is set automatically when the
correct type of reflector is used.
If another make or type of prism is used it is advisable
to determine the constant on a calibration range.
Take care when pointing through windows or if
reflective surfaces are present in the field of view.
Incorrect readings may result.
Other reflectors for precision measurement and for
special applications are also available. Please contact

Functions of the fixed

Code information Code blocks are used to record additional information
for subsequent processing of the measurement data.
They are recorded in separate blocks and consist of at
least the CODE number, along with up to 7 further
information blocks (Info 1 to 7). Each of these editable
information words contains up to 8 (or 16)
alphanumeric characters.
Information words which include "-----" are not stored.
In general, the code function can be called whenever a
measurement or another data set in the measurement
file can be stored. The code function, together with the
measuring mode, is available in most of the loadable
applications.
calls the standard coding (Code, Info 1 to 7), if
no user-defined codes are present.
The user can use a Leica software package (code
developer) on a PC to program personal "User codes".
These "code-functions" can contain lists of codes or,
for example, a complete process in which entries,
recordings and displays are defined. On selecting a
code it is possible to record it at once.
In order for the instrument to recognize and access
these programmed code functions, they must be stored
on a memory card under the "GSI" directory in the
"CODE.HEX" file.

Heatable display
If the TPS1000 is to be used at low temperatures, it can
be equipped with a heatable display. This reduces the
time which elapses before changes in the display are
made evident, but does not expand the operating-
temperature range for the instrument.
Note:
The fact that the display is heatable is indicated by a
label on the side of it
The heatable display is available only for Face 1

The heatable display requires an external battery
The heating switches on automatically when the
temperature sinks to -2C and switches off again
when it rises to +1C or when the instrument is
switched off

Automatic Target Recognition
TCA instruments are motorized and equipped with
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR1) coaxially in the
telescope. The EGL1 guide light, mounted on the
telescope, is optional.
These instruments permit automatic angle and distance
measurements to normal prisms and reduce the tedium
of precise visual sighting to prisms.
The prism is sighted with the optical sight only.
Initiating a distance measurement will turn the
instrument with the help of the motors to sight the
prism-centre automatically.
The angles V and Hz are measured to the centre of the
prism at the completion of the distance measurement.
As with all other instrument errors, the collimation
error of the automatic target recognition (ATR1) must
be redetermined periodically (Refer to chapter
"Checking and Adjusting").

Functionality The built-in Automatic Target Recognition ATR1
transmits a laser beam. The reflected light is received
by the built-in camera (CCD). The position of the
received light spot with respect to the centre of the CCD
is computed and the offsets are used to correct the
horizontal and vertical angles. The offsets are also used
to control the motors which turn the instrument so that
the crosshairs are centred on the prism.
In order to minimize the times for measuring, the
crosshair is not moved to the exact centre of the prism.
The offset can be up to 5mm.
Then the Automatic Target Recognition ATR1 measures
the offsets between the crosshair and prism centre and
corrects the Hz and V angles accordingly.
Therefore the Hz and V angles are measured to the
prism-centre, regardless of the crosshair pointing
precisely to the centre of the prism.
If the offset is more than 5mm when the prism is
exactly aligned and in faultless condition, the Automatic
Target Recognition ATR1 must be recalibrated. If
excessive offsets occur frequently, contact your Leica
agency.

Automatic Target
Recognition ATR1
resolution modes
The accuracy with which the position of a prism can be
determined with Automatic Target Recognition ATR1 is
dependent on the internal accuracy of the ATR1 itself,
and on the external accuracy, which is affected in
particular by the type of prism and by the ambient
brightness. The external accuracy is attained if the
measurement is repeated at intervals.
The internal accuracy of the ATR1 depends on the
resolution of the CCD camera, on the time for the
measurement, on the condition and position of the
prism, and on other factors; it is the accuracy
obtainable under optimum conditions at one particular
time.
Generally, the accuracy of the ATR and of the angle
measurement are the same. Under a certain distance,
however, ATR accuracy predominates. That distance is
determined by the angle accuracy of the instrument.
The external accuracy of a prism-position determination
is important to the user and is +/-2mm in the standard
EDM measuring mode for Leica circular prisms or +/-
1mm in the precision EDM measuring mode. For the
360 reflector it is +/-5mm each for the transverse and
vertical component.

Stability of the prism setup
The demands made on the stability of the prism when
measuring several sets of angles for monitoring a dam
are different from the demands in connection with a
topographic survey. In the first case, better accuracies
are expected.
In accordance with the distance-measuring program
selected, a tolerance range is defined within which the
prism may apparently or actually move.
Tolerance range for prism stability
In the first stage, the Automatic Target Recognition
ATR1 investigates the stability of the prism. If this is
acceptable, the angle corrections are then determined.
The accuracy of the measurement is always the same,
irrespective of the setting chosen.

Information on the use
of Automatic Target
Recognition ATR1
General
The range of automatic target recognition can be
restricted, and its functioning impaired, by various
external factors.
There follows here a description of the causes, of the
resulting error reports, and of possible counter-
measures.
The accuracy for the target point recognition of the
TCA is determined by the selection of the EDM
measuring mode. The highest accuracy for the target
point recognition by the ATR is obtained in the
precision mode (PRECI).
The setting PRECI must be selected for the TCA2003
in order to reach the specified angle measurement
accuracy of 0.5" (0.15 mgon) during target recognition
measurements.
During measurements in this mode it is possible that the
measuring period is prolonged up to about one second.

Reduction of the range
Reduction of the range under the following
unfavourable atmospheric conditions:
Hot sunny weather
Strong heat shimmer
Bright reflections of the sun in the field of view.
Such "hot-spots" can also be produced outside the
focusing range by vehicles and other shiny objects.
Counter-measures:
Reduce the measurement distance
Cover bright reflections

Causes:
- No prism in field of view of telescope
- Strong heat shimmer
- Measurement distance too great
- Environment too bright (sunshine on bright
surfaces, e.g. snow)
- Bright reflections of sun in field of view, close
to prism.
In the two last instances, the report "Interfering

RCS (Remote Controlled Surveying)
Introduction This option enables TCA models to be remote-
controlled from the region of the prism. Combined
operation, partly at the TPS1000 and partly at the
prism, is also possible.
As a result, surveys can be performed solo. It is also
possible to monitor the operation on the RCS 1000 and
/ or to enter the coding on the RCS 1000.
All functions of the TPS1000, including the
applications programs, are available on the RCS 1000.
The display and the use of the keys are as for the
TPS1000. In addition, the characters can be entered
directly on the RCS 1000.
For the RCS you require an RCS 1000, two radio
modems and the appropriate cables.

Setting up
This chapter describes how to put the standard TCPS25
radio modems into operation. If you use other radio
modems the description and pictures may differ.
Step 1: Set up the TPS1000 and level it as
described in section "Set up".
Step 2: Attach to the tripod:
one radio modem
(by means of the enclosed shackle)
an external battery
(GEB70 or GEB71).
Using the appropriate cables, connect one radio modem
to the TPS1000 and the other to the RCS 1000. Check
the colours of the plugs (white at the radio modem).
The radio modem can be fastened with "Velcro" to the
remote pole bracket to ensure it remains in position.

TPS1000 automatically changes to LOCK mode (prism
tracking). In the status field on the TPS1000 display there
appears the symbol which signifies the RCS mode. The
function keys under are reassigned.
The functions serve to target the TPS1000 on the prism.
The search field for the prism is increased to 18 (20
gon).
The target functions are required :

Working procedure Working in RCS mode is hardly different from working
in the normal measuring mode. A switchover is possible
on the TPS1000 at any time.
The great advantages of the RCS are:
solo operation is possibile
when surveying you are at the site of the action, i.e.
where the points are being recorded or set out
you do not have to assess the situation from the
instrument location.
It is essential to cordon-off and protect the measurement
location. The actions and effects of personnel, machines
and the weather can damage the instruments.
After the TPS1000 has been set up and the RCS mode
activated, the TPS1000 must be approximately lined up
with the reflector in order that a LOCK operation can
be carried out on the reflector. After the TPS1000 has
locked on to the reflector, it follows all movements of
the reflector and is set centrically to it. It is therefore
advisable to work with the 360 reflector (GRZ4), since
this does not require special prism settings.

This lining-up can be performed manually from the
TPS1000 or from the reflector.
Using the EGL1 guide light makes lining-up a lot easier.
The EGL1 guide light is a flashing light which can be
installed into telescopes of the TC, TCM and TCA
instruments (optional).
If you are in the measurement display screen, then the
search process can be started at any time. As in normal
operation, this happens when you initiate a distance
measurement ("DIST" or "ALL"). The TPS1000 now
locks on to the reflector. The search window in RCS
mode is 18 (20gon).
Starting from the RCS 1000, an approximate alignment
of the TPS1000 on the reflector can take place with the
functions available under . The search process
can then be started with .
These functions will be later described in more detail.

In order to use the compass mode we recommend you to
use a hand-held compass with 360 rotatable Hz circle
and incorporated V circle, e.g. RECTA DP6 or SILVA
Ranger 15 / 25.
Compass mode is suitable for aligning the TPS1000
over longer distances. To establish the link between
TPS1000 and compass, proceed as follows:
Step 1: Perform the Hz orientation on the TPS1000.
Step 2: Turn the TPS1000 until Hz shows 0.000
(irrespective of the angle units being used).
Step 3: Look into the telescope of the TPS1000 and
select a prominent target.
Step 4: Aim the compass at the same prominent
target and turn the Hz circle of the compass
until the compass needle is at 0 or at N
(north). Do not turn the Hz circle again.
From the prism, aim the compass towards the TPS1000:
to lock the prism for the first time
or if you lose the LOCK setting.
Read off from the compass:
the Hz angle indicated by the compass needle
(0 to 360)
the V angle (+90 to -90, horizontal = 0)
and enter these values in the RCS 1000.

At a target distance of 100 meter (330 ft) a red/yellow
blinking cone of light at both sides with a width of 6m
(20 ft) each is formed. As a result, guiding to the line of
sight of the instrument is much easier and faster.
Between both cones of light an about 30 mm wide
sector is created. Within this sector both colours are
blinking simultaneously. In this case the prism is
already right in the line of sight.

Checking and adjusting
Electronically In general, the instrument possesses the following
mechanical errors:
- ( l, t ) Index error from the 2-axis compensator
- ( i ) Index error from the vertical encoding circle
- ( c ) Line-of-sight error
- ( a ) Tilting-axis error
- (ATR) Collimation of the target recognition axis
(TCA versions only)
The above instrument errors can change over time and
with temperature.
They should, therefore, be redetermined in the order
shown below:
- 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 instrument errors, level-up the
instrument using the electronic bubble. The instrument
should be secure and firm, and should be protected
from direct sunlight in order to avoid thermal warming
on one side only.
The determination of the instrument errors can be
started in any telescope face.
Activate the function in the main menu.

corresponds to the determination of the centre of the
bubble used in the level.
The instrument should be set up away from warmth
coming from one side some time before the calibration
so that it can adjust to the ambient temperature.
The index error for the longitudinal and transverse axes
is determined at the factory and adjusted to zero before

V-index-, line-of-sight-, and tilting-axis errors (i/c/a)
for the Series 1700, 1800 and 2003 instruments in just
one procedure.
The V-index and line-of-sight errors can be determined
using a common target which does not lie more than
9 ( 10 gon) away from the horizontal plane. The
determination of the tilting-axis error requires a target
which lies at least 27 ( 30 gon) above or beneath

ATR1 collimation (Available for TCA versions only)
The ATR1 collimation error is the combined horizontal
and vertical angular divergence of the line of sight from
the axis of the CCD camera.
The collimation procedure includes, optionally, the
determination of the line-of-sight error and the
vertical-index error.
The correction for the ATR1 collimation errors is
always applied regardless of the "ON/OFF" status of the
Hz-correction setting. (see chapter "Compensator / Hz

Optical plummet
Check the optical plummet of the tribrach at regular
intervals. Any deviation of the line-of-sight from the
vertical axis of the instrument causes a centring error.
Checking by plumb-bob:
Set-up and level the instrument on the tripod. Check the
centring sleeve for eccentricity by hanging it in place in
various positions, then mark the ground point. Remove
the plumb-bob. Check that the crosshairs of the optical
plummet intersect at the ground point. The accuracy
achievable is about 1mm.

2. Turn the tribrach 120 and level-up the instrument,
fit it into the outline, and again mark the ground
point.
3. Repeat again in the third position.
If the three points do not coincide, adjust the crosshairs
to the centre of the triangle formed by the three ground
points.
Adjustment:
Use a screwdriver to turn the two set screws alternately
by the same small amount in order to centre the
crosshairs on the ground point marked.

Laser plummet
The laser plummet is located in the standing axis of the
instrument.
Under normal conditions of use the laser plummet does
not need adjusting.
Inspecting by turning the plummet 360:
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 the movement of the red laser dot.
Inspecting the laser plummet should be carried out on a
bright, smooth and horizonal surface (e.g. a sheet of
paper).
If the centre of the red dot clearly moves in a circle, get
the laser plummet adjusted in your local Leica service
workshop.

Care and transport
Transport
When dispatching the instrument, always use the
complete original Leica packaging (case and cardboard
box).
If a distance measuring device is mounted on a
theodolite both instruments must be packed separately
in their own transport case. The distance measuring
device mounted on the telescope can cause inadmissible
loads to the tilting-axis bearing during transport
resulting in misadjustments and in damage to the
bearing.
When transporting the instrument in the field, always
make sure that you:
- either carry the instrument in its original transport
case
- or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your
shoulder, keeping the attached instrument upright.

Cleaning and drying
Objective, eyepiece and prisms:
- Blow dust off lenses and prisms.
- Never touch the glass with your fingers.
- Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
If necessary, moisten the cloth with pure alcohol.
Use no other liquids; these may attack the polymer
components.
When storing the equipment, particularly in
summer and inside a vehicle, take the storage
temperature limits into account. (-40C to +70C / -
40F to +158F)
PCMCIA card, cables and plugs
Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in
the plugs of the connecting cables. Unplugging
connecting cables or removing the PCMCIA card
during the measurement may cause loss of data. Always
switch off the instrument before removing the cables or
the PCMCIA card.
Fogging of prisms
Reflector prisms that are cooler than the ambient
temperature tend to fog. It is not enough simply to wipe
them. Keep them for some time inside your jacket or in
the vehicle to allow them to adjust to the ambient
temperature.
Storage
If the instrument becomes wet, leave it unpacked. Wipe
down, clean and dry the instrument (at not more than
40 C/ 108F), transport case, foam inserts, and
accessories. Pack up the equipment only when it is
perfectly dry.

Battery charging
WARNING:
The battery chargers are intended for indoor use only.
Use a battery charger in a dry room only, never
outdoors. Charge batteries only at an ambient
temperature between 10C and 30C ( 50F to 86F ).
We recommend a temperature of 0C to +20C (32F to
68F) for storing the batteries.
Battery chargers GKL22
and GKL23
Charger GKL22:
The charger provides a constant current and charges a
NiCd battery within 14 hours. The charging procedure
starts automatically whenever a battery is connected to
the charger and a red control lamp indicates a fully
charged battery.
Charging batteries with 2 pole plug requires an adapter
cable.
Fast charger GKL23:
Fast charging with the GLK-23 is possible with Leica
NiCd-batteries equipped with a 5-pole plug. Fast
charging requires 1.5 to 5 hours depending on the
battery capacity.
Leica batteries with 2-pole plugs can be charged using
an adapter cable - this charging procedure will take 14
hours.
Connecting 2 batteries at the same time will charge the
batteries sequentially. Batteries with fast charging
capabilities are priority.
Charging modes and status of the GKL-23 are shown by
three-colour LEDs.
For more information about use, functions and displays
refer to the user manual of the GKL-23.

Battery chargers GKL12
and GKL14
If you already own one of these battery chargers, we
recommend:
- the charger GKL12 for charging the total stations
battery insert (2-pole charging plug) and the GEB70
compact battery.
- For the GEB71 universal battery, use a GKL14
charger.
Before you use new batteries for the first time, charge
them for 20 to 24 hours. This also applies to batteries
that have not been used for several months. NiCd
batteries reach full capacity after two or three normal
cycles each of a 14-hour charge followed by a full
discharge
If battery performance drops noticeably, run one or two
full cycles, i.e. charge for 14 hours and then discharge it
until the message 53 appears: "Battery almost flat.
Change battery".
Leave flat batteries to charge for fourteen hours. If you
do not know a batterys state of charge, also leave it to
charge for fourteen hours.
Set the battery chargers voltage selector to your AC
grid voltage, 115V or 230V. Plug in the charger to the
power. The green indicator lamp should light. If it does
not light, there is a power cut or the power cable or
charger is faulty.
Connect the battery to the charger. The red charging
indicator should light. If it does not, the battery is not
charging, i.e. the battery cable is faulty or the battery
fuse has blown and should be replaced. On the GKL12,
you may not have started the timer or it may have
stopped at the end of the charging period.

Data format
Introduction This chapter describes the data structure and
organization of the Leica GSI (Geo Serial Interface).
The GSI data structure is used for all data transferred
between the Leica electronic survey instruments, and
also defines the data stored internally. The following
information describes the data structure of the TPS1000
instruments and contains some specific features only
applicable to these instruments.
Data transferred between a Leica instrument and a
computer will conform to the GSI data structure (also
called GSI data format).
GSI storage format with
8 or 16 characters
From Version 2.20 onwards, there is a choice of two
GSI formats, with word lengths of 8 and 16 characters
respectively. When 16 characters are stored and
supported the following special conditions apply:
A measurement block is tagged with * at the first
position.
A data word includes the data at positions 7 to 23
instead of at 7 to 15.

Block concept Data transmitted by instruments over the GSI interface
is composed of blocks. Each one of these data blocks is
treated as a whole, and ends with a terminator (CR, or
CR LF). There are two types of data block:
1 Measurement blocks
2 Code blocks
Measurement blocks contain a point number and
measurement information. They are designed primarily
for triangulation, traverse, detail, and tacheometric
surveys.
Code blocks are designed primarily for recording
identification codes, data-processing codes and
information. However, they can also be used for
recording measurement information such as instrument
and target heights, and tie distances.
Each data block has a block number. The block
numbers start with 1 and are incremented by 1 each
time that a new data block is stored.

Structure of a block A data block consists of words, each with 16 (24)
characters. The maximum number of words in the
TPS1000 is 12.
Measurement block The words of a measurement block are determined by
the format which is set on the survey instrument.
Example: Measurement block with TPS1000 default
values
Wort 1 Wort 2 ..... ..... Wort n
Punktnummer Hz-Richtung V-Winkel Schrgdistanz ppm mm Term
Code block
The first word of a code block is always the code
number. A code block can contain between one and
eight words.

Each word has a fixed length of 16 (24) characters.
The terminator is sent by the instrument after data
blocks, after the response sign (?) and after other
messages.
The standard terminator is CR/LF (carriage return/line
feed). TPS1000 instruments can be set to transmit and
accept only CR.

Word index
(positions 1 - 2)
Each word has a two-digit word index to identify it.
These two digits occupy the first two positions of the
word. Word index numbers lie in the range 01 to 99.
The word indices are listed on the following pages.
In some applications special word indices are used.
They are described in the application manuals.

The term "electromagnetic acceptability" is taken to
mean the capability of the electronic theodolite or total
station to function correctly in an environment where
electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges
are present and without causing electromagnetic
disturbances in other equipment.
WARNING:
Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in
other equipment. Although the electronic theodolites
and total stations meet the strict regulations and
standards which are in force in this respect, Leica
cannot completely exclude the possibility that other
equipment may be disturbed.
CAUTION:
There is a risk that disturbances may be caused in other
equipment if the electronic theodolites or total stations
are used in conjunction with accessories from other
manufacturers (e.g. field computers, personal
computers, portable radios, non-standard cables,
external batteries).
Precautions:
Use the equipment only with accessories from Leica.
When combined with electronic theodolites or total
stations the strict requirements stipulated by the
guidelines and standards are assured. When using
computers and portable radios, pay attention to the
