6     Checking and Adjusting104     Trimble TS635 Construction Total Station User GuideAdjusting the electronic levelTo adjust the electronic level, Zero point errors of vertical scale and horizontal angle corrections are used. See page 105. 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 optical/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.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     105Checking and Adjusting     65. 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 correctionsChecking the calibration1. 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.
6     Checking and Adjusting106     Trimble TS635 Construction Total Station User GuideAdjusting the calibration1. 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: 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. –To set parameters on the instrument, press [ENT] or select the OK softkey.5. If ACV, ACH, or Tilt is out of range, OVER appears. Press any key to return to the first observation screen.X1 Face-1 X-axis tilt valueY1 Face-1 Y-axis tilt valueVA1 Face-1 vertical angle (tilt-off value)HA1 Face-1 horizontal angle (tilt-off value)X2 Face-2 X-axis tilt valueY2 Face-2 Y-axis tilt valueVA2 Face-2 vertical angle (tilt-off value)HA2 Face-2 horizontal angle (tilt-off value)
Trimble TS635 Construction Total Station User Guide     107Checking and Adjusting     6The 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 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.About 100 mPQPRQ
6     Checking and Adjusting108     Trimble TS635 Construction Total Station User GuideChecking and adjusting the laser pointerThe 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.
