To convert arbitrary field angles into a coordinates map, the total station must know its exact location in space and the direction it is facing. This process is called Station Setup. Method 1: Set Orientation by Angle (Known Point + Azimuth)
value) is assigned when switching targets to prevent systematic distance errors. 6. Setting Out / Stakeout Work
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | No display | Dead battery | Charge or replace battery | | Laser pointer not visible | Class 2 laser off | Enable in Settings → Laser Pointer | | Measurement drifts | Atmospheric correction not set | Enter correct temp/pressure in [MENU] → PPM | | EDM weak in RL mode | Dirty lens or low reflectivity surface | Clean lens; use white target plate | leica tcr805 total station user manual work
With the station oriented, you can proceed to standard data acquisition and layout applications. Topographic Data Collection (Surveying)
Input the Backsight Point ID and coordinates or target azimuth. To convert arbitrary field angles into a coordinates
Unlike older instruments with locking clamps, the TCR805 features continuous horizontal and vertical tangent screws for smooth sighting.
: To configure for external software like Carlson SurvCE , hold the Menu button for 2 seconds, navigate to Rec Data or Communication Parameters , and set the Baud rate (e.g., 19200) and Parity. Integrated Software Programs Unlike older instruments with locking clamps, the TCR805
Measure the height of the target/prism (hr) and enter it into the display.
To ensure consistent results, the user manual recommends routine checks.
This is the most common construction task for the TCR805. It involves finding a physical point based on design coordinates.
You can orient the instrument using either a known azimuth (angle) or known coordinates of a second point. Method A: Orientation with Coordinates (Recommended) Select . Enter the point ID of your backsight target. Input the known coordinates of the backsight point.
