1 Introduction16 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideMaintenanceBefore using the instrument, read and follow the following maintenance instructions:•Do not leave the instrument in direct sunlight or in a closed vehicle for prolonged periods. Overheating the instrument may reduce its efficiency.•If the TS862 / TS835 instrument has been used in wet conditions, immediately wipe off any moisture and dry the instrument completely before returning the instrument to the carrying case. The instrument contains sensitive electronic assemblies which have been well protected against dust and moisture. However, if dust or moisture gets into the instrument, severe damage could result.•Sudden changes in temperature may cloud the lenses and drastically reduce the measurable distance, or cause an electrical system failure. If there has been a sudden change in temperature, leave the instrument in a closed carrying case in a warm location until the temperature of the instrument returns to room temperature.•Do not store the TS862 / TS835 instrument in hot or humid locations. In particular, you must store the battery pack in a dry location at a temperature of less than 30 °C (86 °F). High temperature or excessive humidity can cause mold to grow on the lenses. It can also cause the electronic assemblies to deteriorate, and so lead to instrument failure.•Store the battery pack with the battery discharged.•When storing the instrument in areas subject to extremely low temperatures, leave the carrying case open.•When adjusting the leveling screws, stay as close as possible to the center of each screw’s range. The center is indicated by a line on the screw.•If the tribrach will not be used for an extended period, lock down the tribrach clamp knob and tighten its safety screw.•Do not use organic solvents (such as ether or paint thinner) to clean the non-metallic parts of the instrument (such as the keyboard) or the painted or printed surfaces. Doing so could result in discoloration of the surface, or in peeling of printed characters. Clean these parts only with a soft cloth or a tissue, lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent.•To clean the optical lenses, lightly wipe them with a soft cloth or a lens tissue that is moistened with alcohol.
Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 17Introduction 1•The reticle plate cover has been correctly mounted. Do not release it or subject it to excessive force to make it watertight. •Before attaching the battery pack, check that the contact surfaces on the battery and instrument are clean.•Securely press the cap that covers the data output/external power input connector terminal. The instrument is not watertight if the cap is not attached securely, or when the data output/external power input connector is used.•The carrying case is designed to be watertight, but you should not leave it exposed to rain for an extended period. If exposure to rain is unavoidable, make sure that the carrying case is placed with the Nikon nameplate facing upward.•The battery pack contains a Lithium-ion battery. When disposing of the battery pack, follow the laws or rules of your municipal waste system.•The instrument can be damaged by static electricity from the human body discharged through the data output/external power input connector.

Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 21Preparation 2– Use the battery only in equipment that is specified to use it.– Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product documentation.WARNING – To charge the battery pack, use only the battery charger and AC adapter that are supplied with the instrument. Do not use any other charger or you may cause the battery pack to catch fire or rupture. The enclosed battery pack cannot be used with other chargers.WARNING – Do not cover the battery charger and AC adapter while the battery pack is being recharged. The charger must be able to dissipate heat adequately. Coverings such as blankets or clothing can cause the charger to overheat.WARNING – Avoid recharging the battery pack in humid or dusty places, in direct sunlight, or near heat sources. Do not recharge the battery pack when it is wet. If you do, you may receive electric shocks or burns, or the battery pack may overheat or catch fire.WARNING – Although the battery pack has an auto-reset circuit breaker, you should take care not to short circuit the contacts. Short circuits can cause the battery pack to catch fire or burn you.WARNING – Never burn or heat the battery. Doing so may cause the battery to leak or rupture. A leaking or ruptured battery can cause serious injury.WARNING – Before storing the battery pack or battery charger, cover the contact points with insulation tape. If you do not cover the contact points, the battery pack or charger may short circuit, causing fire, burns, or damage to the instrument.WARNING – The battery is not itself waterproof. Do not get the battery wet when it is removed from the instrument. If water seeps into the battery, it may cause a fire or burns.
2 Preparation22 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideApplying power•Plug in the charger to the supplied AC adapter to turn the unit on. The power input must be 5 V with at least 4 A of current capability. Each battery may take up to 2 A while charging.Charging a battery•Simply slide a battery into either battery slot to begin charging. The adjacent charge indicator will illuminate yellow when charging is in progress. The charge indicator will change to green when charging is complete.•Charger slots are completely independent so a battery may be inserted regardless of the state of the other battery slot.•Charging may take 2-4 hours if the battery was normally discharged.•Charging may take up to 5 hours with a completely drained battery which has been stored for several months without use.•By design Li-Ion batteries should not be charged above 40 °C-45 °C so a blinking charge light may mean the batteries are too hot for charging. Charging will resume after the batteries cool down. The charging time will be longer due to the batteries cool down when charging batteries above 40 °C-45 °C.Charge indicator 0Calibrationindicator 0Calibration buttonCalibrationindicator 1Charge indicator 1Power jackThis reads 5 V, 4 ACase“Top” edgeBattery Slot 0 Battery Slot 1
Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 23Preparation 2•If the charge indicator(s) are blinking and the batteries feel cool, it may indicate a problem with the battery or the charger. If the charge light is still blinking after trying several batteries which are not warm, there is a problem with the unit or the batteries themselves.Conditioning / calibrating a battery•Battery calibration is necessary about once every 6 months or more often if desired. Calibration insures the reported battery charge remaining is accurate.•Hold down the calibration button on the unit and then insert a battery while holding the calibration button to begin a battery calibration. Only the battery which was inserted while the button was depressed will begin calibration. During a battery calibration the battery will be charged, discharged completely, and then recharged before finishing. Calibration should complete in roughly 17 hours and the charger vents should not be covered during a calibration cycle.•The blue calibration indicator light(s) will blink slowly (on 1.5 sec, off 2 sec) while a calibration is in progress and the charge light(s) may be on or off during the calibration cycle.•When a calibration cycle is completed, the calibration light will stop blinking remain on until the corresponding battery is removed.•The bottom case temperature may continue to climb up to approximately 43 °C before temperature regulation is enabled to keep the case from getting warmer. As the battery voltage drops, the case will cool down and the automatic temperature limiting will no longer be necessary which minimizes the time it takes to discharge a battery.•If the case temperature continues to get too hot internally even after temperature regulation is enabled, there is a secondary fail-safe which will abort the calibration completely. If an abort occurs, the calibration light(s) will blink rapidly and battery charging will be re-enabled.Detaching and reattaching the battery packDetaching the battery packCAUTION – Avoid touching the contacts on the battery pack.1. If the instrument is turned on, press  to turn it off.2. Turn the battery box release knob counterclockwise, open the battery box cover and remove the battery pack from the battery box.

Insert the battery pack with the connectors bottom first, facing inside.3. Close the battery box cover and turn the knob clockwise until the secure click sound is heard.CAUTION – If the battery box cover is not closed, this could adversely affect the watertightness of the instrument.Setting up the tripodCAUTION – The tips of the tripod ferrules are very sharp. When handling or carrying the tripod, take care to avoid injuring yourself on the ferrules.1. Open the tripod legs enough to for the instrument to be stable.2. Locate the tripod directly over the station point. To check the tripod’s position, look through the center hole in the tripod head.3. Firmly press the tripod ferrules into the ground.4. Level the top surface of the tripod head.5. Securely fasten the thumb screws on the tripod legs.6. Place the instrument on the tripod head.7. Insert the tripod mounting screw into the center hole of the base plate of the instrument.8. Tighten the tripod mounting screw.
Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 25Preparation 2Note – Do not carry the instrument while it is attached to a tripod.CenteringWhen you center the instrument, you align its central axis precisely over the station point. To center the instrument, you can either use the laser plummet or a plumb bob.Centering using the laser plummetWARNING – Do not look into the laser directly.Note – If you require high accuracy, check and adjust the laser plummet before you center the instrument. For detailed instructions, see Checking and adjusting the circular level, page 40.1. Set up the instrument on the tripod. For detailed instructions, see Setting up the tripod, page 24.2. Turn on the laser plummet.3. Align the laser pointer to the station point. To do this, turn the leveling screws until the laser pointer is over the station point.4. While supporting the tripod head with one hand, loosen the tripod leg clamps and adjust the lengths or the legs until the air bubble is the center of the circular level.5. Tighten the tripod leg clamps.6. Use the electronic level to level the instrument. For detailed instructions, see Leveling, page 26.7. Check the laser pointer is over the station point.8. If the station point is off center, do one of the following:–If the station point is slightly off center, loosen the tripod mounting screw and then center the instrument on the tripod. Use only direct movement to center the instrument. Do not rotate it.–When the instrument is centered, tighten the mounting screw.–If the displacement of the station point is major, repeat this procedure from Step 2
2 Preparation26 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideCentering using a plumb bob1. Set up the instrument on the tripod. For detailed instructions, see Setting up the tripod, page 24.2. Hang the plumb line on the hook of the tripod mounting screw.3. Adjust the length of the plumb line so that the tip of the plumb bob is at the height of the station point.4. Loosen the tripod mounting screw slightly.5. Using both hands to support the outer side of the tribrach, carefully slide the instrument about on the tripod head until the tip of the plumb bob is positioned over the exact center of the station point.Note – To confirm that the instrument is precisely aligned, check its position from two directions at right angles to each other.LevelingWhen you level the instrument, you make the vertical axis of the instrument exactly vertical. To level the instrument, use the electronic level. In the leveling work, always set the instrument in face 1 direction (see Figure 1.1, page 14).To level the instrument: 1. Move the bubble into the circle drawn on the circular level and then turn on the power.2. Rotate the alidade until the bottom edge of the keyboard panel is parallel to the two of the leveling screws (B and C).3. Use leveling screws B and C to move the bubble into the center of the electronic level. 4. Rotate the alidade approximately 90°.5. Use leveling screw A to move the bubble into the center of the electronic level.6. Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to center the bubble in both positions.7. Rotate the alidade 180°.8. If the bubble in the electronic level remains centered, the instrument is level. If the bubble moves off center, adjust the electronic level.

2 Preparation28 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideSetting the measurement mode and preparing the targetThe TS862/TS 835 instrument has two measurement modes: Prism mode () and Reflectorless mode (). These modes can be changed at any time by holding down the  or  key for one second.To set the measurement mode depending on the target you want to measure, see the following table. In some cases, you can measure another target that is not appropriate to the set measurement mode.Note – The TS862 instrument is Laser Class 3R in the Reflectorless mode and Laser pointer function, and Laser Class 1 in the Prism mode. Do not sight the Prism when the Laser Pointer is on.Note – The TS835 instrument is a Laser Class 1 in the Prism and Reflectorless mode, and Laser Class 2 in Laser pointer function.Measurement with a prismDo not use a prism with scratches, a dirty surface, or a chipped center. Prisms with thin edges are recommended. As the TS862 / TS835 is extremely sensitive, multiple reflections on the prism surface can sometimes cause a significant loss in accuracy.Target Target settingPrism, reflector sheet Prism (Prism mode)Other (reflective materials) N-Prism (Reflectorless mode)thin edges chipped center thick edges
Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 29Preparation 2To maintain the accuracy of your measurements:•When measuring a short distance, incline the prism slightly so that the EDM can ignore unnecessary reflections on the prism surface, as shown below. Tip – Hold the prism securely in place and do not move while taking measurements. In Prism mode, in order to avoid false measurements on objects other than the prism or reflector-sheet, targets that are less reflective than the prism or reflector sheet are not measured. Even if you start a measurement, measured values are not displayed. To measure less reflective objects, use the N-prism (reflectorless) mode.Measurement in reflectorless modeThe intensity of the reflection from the target determines the distance the TS862 / TS835 instrument can measure in this mode. The color and condition of the target surface also affect the measurable distance, even if the targeted objects are the same. Some less-reflective targets may not be measured.The following table describes some examples of targets and approximate measurable distances:Measurable distances may be shorter or measurement intervals may be longer in the following cases:•the angle of the laser against the target is small•the surface of the target is wetIn direct sunlight, the measurable distance may be shorter. In this case, try to throw a shadow on the target.Targets with completely flat surfaces, such as mirrors, cannot be measured unless the beam and the target are perpendicular to each other.Tip – Make sure there are no obstacles between the instrument and the target when taking measurements. When you need to take measurements across a road or a place where vehicles or other objects are frequently moving, take several measurements to a target for the best result.Target You can measure approximately...Traffic signs, reflectors 500 meters (1640 feet)Paper (white), veneer (new) 300 meters (990 feet)wall (brightly painted), brick 100 to 200 meters (330 to 660 feet)

4 Checking and Adjustment40 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideAdjusting the electronic levelAdjustment of the electronic level is done by Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections. For detailed instruction, please see page 41.Checking and adjusting the circular levelOnce 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 laser plummetThe 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.While you are looking through the optical plummet, adjust the leveling screws until the image of the X is in the center of the reticle mark .For laser plummet, adjust the laser pointer to the X.3. Rotate the alidade 180°.If the marked image is in the same position in the center of the reticle mark, no adjustment is requiredFor laser plummet, if the laser pointer is on the X, no adjustment is required.P
Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 41Checking and Adjustment 44. If the image or laser pointer is not in the same position, adjust the optical/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 the cap. Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle correctionsChecking1. Set up the instrument on the tripod.2. Follow the leveling procedures described in Leveling, page 26.3. Flip the telescope to the Face-1 position.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.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.AdjustingThere are two steps in the calibration program. Usually you only complete the first step that is described below, because the trunnion axis is finely adjusted mechanically.
4 Checking and Adjustment42 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideTo make a major adjustment to the trunnion axis error compensation, however, you can complete the second step that is described below and make three sets of observations.To enter the calibration program, tap the Calibration icon shown right.Step 11. Take an F1 measurement to a target on the horizon. Tap [OK].The vertical angle is shown in theV0 dir= Horiz setting.If you sight a target that has a VA of more than 3°, a warning message appears and the [OK] button is disabled.Tip – To set the parameters for trunnion axis error compensation, establish two targets at a horizontal distance of at least 30 m from the instrument. The first target should be placed on the horizontal plane and the second should be more than 30° above the horizontal plane. Before you set the trunnion axis compensation value, you must complete three sets of F1/F2 observations to these two points. Even if you complete the second step, the instrument cannot store a trunnion axis error compensation of more than 30". If the error is more than 30", the instrument needs a mechanical check.VA1 Face-1 vertical angle (tilt-off value)HA1 Face-1 horizontal angle (tilt-off value)X1 Face-1 X axis tilt valueY1 Face-1 Y axis tilt valueSecond targetFirst target

Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 45Checking and Adjustment 4The tolerance in angle reading to each direction is 10". To maintain the accuracy of the instrument, you must take shots with extreme care. If the dHA to the same direction is more than 10", an error message appears, and you must remeasure all three sets of points.After three sets of F1/F2 observations, the instrument calculates the trunnion axis parameter and the updated ACH (the average of each set).3. Do one of the following:–To return to the measurement screen for the first set of F1 measurements, tap [Redo].–To go to the next set of observations for a more accurate result, tap [Cont.]. You can record up to ten sets.–To store the parameter and return to the BMS, tap [End].4. If HA corr. is set to OFF when you finish updating the trunnion axis parameter, a message appears. The message asks if you want to change the setting. To change the setting, tap [Yes].Trunnion axis compensationThe trunnion axis error is reported when the vertical axis and the trunnion axis (horizontal axis) are not perpendicular to each other. The sighting axis error is from the sighting and the trunnion axes. These two errors can be compensated by applying the Tr-axis and ACH parameters on this instrument to horizontal angle readings.
4 Checking and Adjustment46 Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User GuideBecause the amount of compensation changes according to the vertical angle, when compensation is enabled there is a slight movement in horizontal angle even if you clamp the tangent screw.Checking the instrument constantThe 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 by the manufacturer before the instrument is shipped. However, to ensure the highest operational accuracy, we recommend that you check the instrument constant several times a year.To check the instrument constant, you can either compare a correctly measured base line with the distance measured by the EDM, or follow the procedure below. To check the instrument constant: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.Tr-axisACHAbout 100 mPQPRQ
Trimble TS862 and TS835 Total Stations User Guide 47Checking and Adjustment 43. 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 TS862 / TS835 instrument to the tripod at Point R.7. Measure the distance from Point R to Point P (RP), and 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 TS862 / TS835 instrument to other points on the line between Point P and Point Q. 10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 ten times or so.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 the laser pointerThe TS862 / TS835 total station uses a red laser beam to 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.
