CHAPTER 6 Checking and Adjusting In this chapter: Q Adjusting the electronic level Q Checking and adjusting the circular level Q Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections Q The instrument constant Q Checking and adjusting the laser pointer 6 This chapter describes how to check the accuracy of the TS635 construction total station, and if necessary, adjust the required settings.
6 Checking and Adjusting Adjusting the electronic level To adjust the electronic level, Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections are used. See page 105. Checking and adjusting the circular level Once you have checked and adjusted the electronic level, check the circular level. If the bubble is not in the center of the level, use the adjusting pin to rotate the three adjustment screws of either circular level on the instrument main body or tribrach until the bubble is centered.
Checking and Adjusting 5. 6 If the image or laser pointer is not in the same position, adjust the optical or laser plummet: a. Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to turn the adjustment screws until the image of the X is in Position P. Position P is the center point of the line connecting the X and the center of the reticle mark . b. Repeat from Step 2. For laser plummet adjustment, you must remove a cap. Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections Checking the calibration 1.
6 Checking and Adjusting Adjusting the calibration 1. Press [MENU] and [6]. The calibration screen appears. 2. Take an F1 measurement to a target on the horizon. Press [ENT]. The calibration fields for F1 are: X1 Face-1 X-axis tilt value Y1 Face-1 Y-axis tilt value VA1 Face-1 vertical angle (tilt-off value) HA1 Face-1 horizontal angle (tilt-off value) The vertical angle is shown in the V0 dir= Horiz setting.
Checking and Adjusting 6 The instrument constant The instrument constant is a numerical value used to automatically correct for the displacement between the mechanical and electrical centers when measuring distances. The instrument constant is set at the factory. However, to ensure the highest operational accuracy, we recommend that you check the instrument constant several times a year. The following figure shows the setup to check the instrument constant.
6 Checking and Adjusting Checking and adjusting the laser pointer The TS635 construction total station uses a red laser beam to measure and as a laser pointer. The laser pointer is coaxial with the line of sight of the telescope. If the instrument is well adjusted, the red laser pointer coincides with the line of sight. External influences such as shock or large temperature fluctuations can displace the red laser pointer relative to the line of sight.

Cap the data output/external power input connector securely when the instrument is not in use. The instrument is not watertight if the cap is detached or not attached securely, or when the data output/external power input connector is in use.
APPENDIX B Transferring Coordinate Data In this chapter: Q Transferring coordinate data to the total station Q Transferring coordinate data from the total station B The TS635 construction total station uses lists of coordinate data. This chapter describes how to transfer data between the total station and the office computer.
B Transferring Coordinate Data Transferring coordinate data to the total station Settings To configure the transmission speed and other settings, press [MENU] and then select Settings / Comm. See also Communications, page 93.
Transferring Coordinate Data B The formats use the following codes: Code Description Length PT Point number Up to 20 digits X Actual X coordinate Variable length Y Actual Y coordinate Variable length Z Actual Z coordinate Variable length CD Feature code Up to 16 characters Data example 20100,6606.165,1639.383,30.762,RKBSS 20104,1165611.6800,116401.4200,00032.8080 20105 5967.677 1102.343 34.353 MANHOLE 20106 4567.889 2340.665 33.444 PT1 20107 5967.677 1102.343 34.353 20109,4657.778,2335.

APPENDIX C Error Messages In this chapter: Q Cogo Q Communications Q Data Q Job manager Q Layout Q Programs Q Recording data Q Searching Q Settings Q Station setup Q System error C The appendix describes the error messages that may appear when you use the TS635 construction total station.
C Error Messages Cogo NO Result The system was unable to calculate an area because points were not entered in the correct order. Press any key to return to the Cogo menu. Then enter the points in the correct order. Same Coordinate The point or coordinate that you entered is identical to the previous input point. Press any key to return to the point input screen. Then use a different point. XY-coordinate is required The input point does not have XY (NE) coordinates.
Error Messages C Data Can't Edit XYZ from measurement You have tried to change the coordinates of an SO, SS, or CP record. You cannot change the coordinates of these records. Press any button to return to the previous screen. DELETE Stn-XYZ You have tried to delete a coordinate record that the current ST or BS refers to. You must confirm that you want to delete this record. To... Press...
C Error Messages Layout Input Error The point name style used in the Fr field is not the same as the style used in the To field. For example, the Fr field style is 1, and the To field style is A200. Press any button to return to the Fr/To input screen. Then re-enter the point name, using the same naming style in both fields. NO Stn Setup You did not perform a station setup or BS check before entering the Layout function. C To... Press...
Error Messages C Recording data DATA FULL The data storage is full. Press any button to return to the Basic Measurement Screen (BMS). Then: To... Press... delete unnecessary data [MENU] and select Data delete jobs [MENU] and select Job DUPLICATE PT The input PT you are trying to record already exists in the current job. An existing coordinate record cannot be overwritten by measured data. Press any button to return to the point input screen. Change the setting in the PT field.
C Error Messages OVER RANGE You are trying to record a coordinate with more than 13 digits. Press any button to return to the previous screen. Then check the setting for the current ST coordinate. Searching PT Not Found There is no point that matches the criteria entered. Press any button to return to the point input screen. This message may appear in any function where the PT/CD is input, such as Station Setup or Stakeout.
Error Messages C Station setup Same Coordinate The input PT or coordinate is identical to the current station in STN/2:Known, or the same coordinate or point name/number is found in Resection. Press any button to return to the PT input screen. Then use a different PT. Space LOW There is not enough space to record a station when you start any of the Station Setup functions. To... Press... return to the BMS press [ESC] or select the Abrt softkey.
