Class B Statement – Notice to Users. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this
equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules.
CWARNING - This equipment has been certified to comply with the
limits for a Class B personal computer and peripherals, pursuant to
Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules. Only peripherals (computer
input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with
the Class B limits may be attached to this equipment. Operation with
non-certified personal computer and/or peripherals is likely to result in
interference to radio and TV reception. The connection of a non-
shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate
the FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels
which exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your
authority to operate the equipment.

Curvature and refraction corrections
Because the surface of the earth is curved, the vertical difference (VD and Z) at the
measurement point, as referenced to the horizontal plane, inevitably includes some
error. This error is called curvature error. Also, because the density of the air
surrounding the earth decreases with altitude, light is refracted at different rates at
different altitudes. The error caused by this change in refraction is called refraction
error.

and if necessary, adjust the required settings.
6 Checking and Adjusting
104 Trimble TS635 Construction Total Station User Guide
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 the optical/laser plummet
The optical axis of the plummet must be aligned with the vertical axis of the
instrument.
To check and adjust the optical/laser plummet:
1. Place the instrument on the tripod. You do not have to level the instrument.
2. Place a thick sheet of paper marked with an
X on the ground below the instrument.
3. Do the following:
Look through the optical plummet and
then adjust the leveling screws until the
image of the X is in the center of the
reticle mark .
For the laser plummet, adjust the laser
pointer to the X.
4. Rotate the alidade by 180°.
If the marked image is in the same
position in the center of the reticle
mark, no adjustment is required.
For the laser plummet, if the laser pointer is on the
X, no adjustment is required.
Trimble TS635 Construction Total Station User Guide 105
Checking and Adjusting 6
5. 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. Set up the instrument on the tripod.
2. Follow the leveling procedures described in Leveling the instrument, page 28.
3. Flip the telescope to the Face-1 position. The display and tangent screws are
facing towards you.
4. Sight a target that is within 45° of the horizontal plane.
5. Read the vertical angle from the VA1 field in the Basic Measurement Screen
(BMS).
6. Rotate the instrument 180° and flip the telescope to the Face-2 position. The
display and tangent screws are turned away from you.
7. Read the vertical angle from the VA2 field.
8. Add the two vertical angles together, VA1 + VA2.
No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA zero
setting) is set to Zenith, and VA1 + VA2 equals 360°.
No adjustment is required if the zero reference for vertical angles (VA zero
setting) is set to Horizon, and VA1 + VA2 is either 180° or 540°.
An adjustment is required if VA1 + VA2 is not one of the values listed above.
Note – The difference between the vertical angle reading the relevant angle (either 360° for
Zenith, or 180° or 540° for Horizon) is called the altitude constant.

The vertical angle is shown in the V0 dir= Horiz setting.
When you have taken the measurement, the message on the bottom line
changes from DO NOT TOUCH! to Turn to F2.
3. Take an F2 measurement to the same target. Press [ENT].
The TS635 construction total station has horizontal and vertical axis
adjustment:
When the observation on F2 is completed, four
parameters are displayed.
4. Do one of the following:
To return to the first observation screen,
press [ESC] or select the Redo softkey.

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.
To check the instrument constant, either compare a correctly measured base line with
the distance measured by the EDM, or carry out the following procedure.
1. Set up the instrument at Point P, in as flat an area as possible.
2. Set up a reflector prism at Point Q, 100 m away from Point P. Make sure that you
take the prism constant into account.
3. Measure the distance between Point P and Point Q (PQ).
4. Install a reflector prism on the tripod at Point P.
5. Set up another tripod at Point R, on the line between Point P and Point Q.
6. Transfer the TS635 construction total station to the tripod at Point R.
7. Measure the distance from Point R to Point P (RP), and the distance from Point
R to Point Q (RQ).
8. Calculate the difference between the value of PQ and the value of RP + RQ.
9. Move the TS635 construction total station to other points on the line between
Point P and Point Q.
10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 several times.
11. Calculate the average of all the differences.
The error range is within 3 mm. If the error is out of range, contact your dealer.

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.
