General The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges
from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 3R in accordance
with:
Class 3R laser products:

Direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous (low eye hazard level), in particular for
deliberate ocular exposure. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness and after-
images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of injury for laser
class 3R products is limited because of:
a) unintentional exposure would rarely reflect worst case conditions of (e.g.) beam
alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation,
b) inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radiation
(MPE)
c) natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of visible
radiation.

 CAUTION From a safety perspective, class 3R laser products should be treated as potentially
hazardous.
Precautions:
1) Prevent direct eye exposure to the beam.
2) Do not direct the beam at other people.
 CAUTION Potential hazards are not only related to direct beams but also to reflected beams
aimed at reflecting surfaces such as prisms, windows, mirrors, metallic surfaces, etc.
Precautions:
1) Do not aim at areas that are essentially reflective, such as a mirror, or which could
emit unwanted reflections.
2) Do not look through or beside the optical sight at prisms or reflecting objects when
the laser is switched on, in laser pointer or distance measurement mode. Aiming at
prisms is only permitted when looking through the telescope.

fine pointing to a prism.
Automated Instruments fitted with ATR are referred to as Automated.
Three automation modes are available with ATR:
• None: no ATR - no automation and no tracking.
• ATR: automatic fine pointing to a prism.
• LOCK: automatic tracking of an already targeted prism.
PowerSearch PowerSearch refers to the instrument sensor which enables the
automatic rapid finding of a prism.
SmartStation A TS30/TM30 instrument integrated with an add-on GNSS system,
comprising hardware and software components, forms SmartSta-
tion.
Components of SmartStation include SmartAntenna, SmartAn-
tenna Adapter with attached clip-on-housing and antenna for a
communication device and Communication side cover.
SmartStation provides an additional instrument setup method for
determining instrument station coordinates.
The GNSS principles and functionality of SmartStation derive from
the principles and functionality of GS08plus/GS12/GS14/GS15
instruments.
SmartAntenna SmartAntenna with integrated Bluetooth is a component of Smart-
Station. It can also be used independently on a pole, with a GNSS
receiver and remote controller. Models available:
GS08plus/GS12/GS14/GS15. Where there are differences between
the various models they are clearly described.
RadioHandle A component of RCS is RadioHandle. It is both an integrated radio
modem with attached antenna and instrument carry handle.
Where there are differences between the various models they are
clearly described.
Communication Communication side cover with integrated Bluetooth is a compo-
side cover nent of SmartStation. In combination with RadioHandle it is also a
component of RCS.

2.2 System Concept
2.2.1 Software Concept
Description All instruments use the same software concept.
Software type
Software type Description
System This software comprises the central functions of the instrument. It
software is also referred to as firmware.
The programs Survey and Setup are integrated into the firmware
and cannot be deleted.
The English language is integrated into the firmware and cannot be
deleted.
Language Numerous languages are available for the instruments. This soft-
software ware is also referred to as system language.
The system software enables a maximum of three languages which
can be stored at any one time - the English language and two other
languages. The English language is the default language and
cannot be deleted. One language is chosen as the active language.
Application A suite of optional survey-specific application programs is available
programs for the instrument.
Some of the programs are activated freely and require no license
key and others require purchasing and are only activated with a
license key.
Customised Customised software specific to user requirements can be devel-
application oped using the GeoC++ development kit. Information on the
programs 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 CompactFlash
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 Compact-
Flash card or an internal memory if fitted.
Memory device CompactFlash card: A CompactFlash card housing is standard. A CompactFlash

card can be inserted and removed. Available capacity:
256 MB and 1 GB
 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: 256 MB.

 Unplugging connecting cables or removing the CompactFlash card during the measure-
ment may cause loss of data. Always return to the 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.
Data can also be exported from a job in DXF or LandXML format.
Import
Data can be imported from ASCII, DXF, GSI8 or GSI16 format.
Transfer raw data Raw data can be transferred between the database on the CompactFlash card or the
to LGO internal memory of the instrument and LGO in two ways:
• From the CompactFlash card or the internal memory directly via a serial interface
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.
2.2.3 Power Concept
General Use the Leica Geosystems batteries, chargers and accessories or accessories recom-
mended by Leica Geosystems to ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.
Power options Instrument

Power for the instrument can be supplied either internally or externally. An external
battery is connected to the instrument using a LEMO cable.
Internal battery: One GEB242 battery fitted into the battery compartment.
External battery: One GEB171 battery connected via cable, or
SmartAntenna
Power for the antenna is supplied internally.
Internal battery: One GEB211/GEB212 battery fitted into the antenna.

4 Operation
4.1 Fixing the Display Foil to the TS
 We strongly recommend to use the display foil to protect the display against scratches
and dirt and to guarantee a trouble-free function of the touchscreen in extreme and
humid weather conditions.
All instruments are delivered ex factory with an already fixed display foil.
Preparation • Ensure that the display is free of dust and grease.

• Use the provided microfibre cloth to clean the display.
• Look for a dust free and dry atmosphere surrounding while fixing the display foil.
Fixing the display The display foil lies between two thin carrier foils. The display foil has a silver-coloured
foil step-by-step sticker to peel away the carrier foil from the actual display foil.

4.7 Batteries
4.7.1 Operating Principles
Charging / first-time • The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv-
use ered with an energy content as low as possible.
• 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.
• 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 recom-
mend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger
or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery
capacity available.
Operation / • The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.

Discharging • Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

4.10 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 measure-
ment
TS_095
When measurements are being made using the red laser EDM, the results can be influ-
enced 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 building, but a vehicle passes between the EDM and
the target surface as the measurement is triggered, the measurement may be made
to the side of the vehicle. The result is the distance to the vehicle, not to the surface
of the building.
If using the long range measurement mode (> 1000 m, > 3300 ft) to prisms, and an
object passes within 30 m of the EDM as the measurement is triggered, the distance
measurement may be similarly effected due to the strength of the laser signal.
 CAUTION Due to laser safety regulations and measuring accuracy, using the Long Range Reflec-
torless EDM is only allowed to prisms that are more than 1000 m (3300 ft) away.
 Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in IR 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.
 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 meas-
urements 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.
 The lock mode is available for TS30.
 As with all other instrument errors, the collimation error of the automatic aiming must
be redetermined periodically. Refer to "5 Check & Adjust" about checking 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 coordinates may vary.
 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.
Motorised Posi- Unstable instrument setup conditions or small vibrations of the instrument resulting
tioning from heavy traffic or construction activities in the vicinity of the instrument may lead
to an abandonment of the instrument’s positioning before the final position is
reached. Ensure that the instrument setup is stable, especially if steep sightings are
necessary. If an incomplete positioning is indicated check the position deviation and
repeat the according positioning command.
5 Check & Adjust
5.1 Overview
Description Leica Geosystems 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 check and adjust can be done in the field by
running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and
must be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters. Some
other instrument errors and mechanical parts can be adjusted mechanically.
Electronic adjust- The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically:
ment l, t Compensator longitudinal and transversal index errors
i Vertical index error, related to the standing axis
c Horizontal collimation error, also called line of sight error
a Tilting axis error
ATR ATR zero point error for Hz and V - option
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 adjust- The currently used adjustment errors can be viewed under Main Menu:
ment errors Tools...\Check & Adjust...\Current Values.
Mechanical adjust- The following instrument parts can be adjusted mechanically:

ment • Circular level on instrument and tribrach
• Optical plummet - option on tribrach
• Allen screws on tripod
Precise measure- To get precise measurements in the daily work, it is important:

ments • To check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
• To take high precision measurements during the check and adjust procedures.
• To measure targets in two faces. Some of the instrument errors are eliminated by
averaging the angles from both faces.
 During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined and
set to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is highly recom-
mended to redetermine them in the following situations:
• Before the first use
• Before every high precision survey
• After rough or long transportation
• After long working periods
• After long storage periods
• If the temperature difference between current environment and the temperature
at the last calibration is more than 20°C

5.2 Preparation
 Before determining the instrument errors, the instrument has to be

levelled using the electronic level. SHIFT (F12) to access STATUS Level &
Laser Plummet, Level page.
The tribrach, the tripod and the underground should be stable and secure
from vibrations or other disturbances.
 The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight to avoid thermal

warming.
It is also recommended to avoid strong heat shimmer and air turbulence.
The best conditions are 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.
 Even after adjustment of the ATR, the crosshairs may not be positioned exactly on the
centre of the prism after an ATR measurement has been completed. This outcome is
a normal effect. The telescope is not normally positioned exactly on the centre of the
prism, to speed up the ATR measurement. These small deviations/ATR offsets, are
calculated individually for each measurement and corrected electronically. This means
that the horizontal and vertical angles are corrected twice: first by the determined ATR
errors for Hz and V, and then by the individual small deviations of the current aiming.

 The maximum diameter of the circular movement described by the centre of the
laser point should not exceed 3 mm at a distance of 1.5 m.
6. If the centre of the laser dot describes a perceptible circular movement or moves
more than 3 mm away from the point which was first marked, an adjustment
may be required. Inform your nearest Leica Geosystems authorised service
workshop. Depending on brightness and surface, the diameter of the laser dot
can vary. At 1.5 m it is about 2.5 mm.

System accuracy • The accuracy with which the position of a prism can be determined with Automatic
with ATR Target Aiming (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
± 1 mm. Above a certain distance, the instrument angle accuracy predominates and
takes over the standard deviation of the ATR.
• The following graph shows the ATR standard deviation based on three different
prism types, distances and instrument accuracies.

 Refer to the Leica GS10/GS15 User Manual for information on the GS15.
7.7.1 SmartStation Accuracy
 Measurement precision and accuracy in position and accuracy in height are dependent
upon various factors including the number of satellites tracked, constellation geom-
etry, observation time, ephemeris accuracy, ionospheric disturbance, multipath and
resolved ambiguities. Figures quoted assume normal to favourable conditions.
Times required are dependent upon various factors including number of satellites,
geometry, ionospheric conditions, multipath and so on. GPS and GLONASS can
increase performance and accuracy by up to 30 % relative to GPS only. A full Galileo
and GPS L5 constellation will further increase measurement performance and accu-
racy.
Accuracy Position accuracy: Horizontal: 10 mm + 1 ppm

Vertical: 20 mm + 1 ppm
When used within reference station networks the posi-
tion accuracy is in accordance with the accuracy specifi-
cations provided by the reference station network.

Initialisation Method: Real-time (RTK)
Reliability of initialisation: Better than 99.99 %
Time of initialisation: Typically 8 s, with 5 or more satellites on L1 and L2

tions • Line of sight error • Vertical index error
• Tilting axis error • Standing axis tilt
• Earth curvature • Refraction
• Circle eccentricity • ATR zero point error
• Compensator index error
7.10 Scale Correction
Use of scale correc- By entering a scale correction, reductions proportional to distance can be taken into
tion account.
• Atmospheric correction.
• Reduction to mean sea level.
• Projection distortion.
Atmospheric correc- The slope distance displayed is correct if the scale correction in ppm, mm/km, which
tion D1 has been entered corresponds to the atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time of
the measurement.
The atmospheric correction includes:
• Adjustments for air pressure
• Air temperature
• Relative humidity

For highest precision distance measurements, the atmospheric correction should be
determined with an accuracy of 1 ppm. The following parameters must be redeter-
mined:
• Air temperature to 1 °C
• Air pressure to 3 mbar
• Relative humidity to 20 %
Air humidity 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.

R 6.378 * 106 m (radius of the earth)
Earth curvature (1/R) and mean refraction coefficient (k) (if enabled on the Refraction
page in Main Menu: Config...\Instrument Settings...\TPS Corrections) are automatically
taken into account when calculating the horizontal distance and height difference. The
calculated horizontal distance relates to the station height and not to the reflector
height.
