Description

This manual applies to Zipp10 instruments. Where there are differences between the models they are clearly described.

Measuring with P modes: When measuring distances to a reflector with Electronic Distance

Measurement (EDM) mode "P", the telescope uses a wide visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.

Measuring with NP modes: Instruments that are equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM mode "NP". When measuring distances with this EDM mode, the telescope uses a narrow visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.

WARNING

003577_001

Do NOT remove the battery during operation of the instrument, or during the shutdown procedure.

This can result in a file system error and data loss!

Always switch off the instrument by pressing the On/Off key, and wait until the instrument has shutdown completely before removing the battery.

2.6 Pointsearch

Zipp10 | 26

Pointsearch is a function used by applications to find measured or fixed points in the memory storage.

The pointsearch is limited to the current job. It is not possible to search the whole storage. The search procedure always finds fixed points before measured points that fulfil the same search criteria. If several points meet the search criteria, then the results are ordered according to the entry date. The instrument finds the most recent fixed point first.

By entering an actual point number, for example P404, and pressing OK, all points within the current job and with the corresponding point number are found.

OK

3.1 Instrument Setup

This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked ground point.

Important features

• It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.

• The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier to centre the instrument.

• The laser plummet cannot be used with a tribrach equipped with an optical plummet.

)

When setting up the tripod pay attention to ensuring a horizontal position of the tripod plate. Slight corrections of inclination can be made with the foot screws of the tribrach. Larger corrections must be done with the tripod legs.

Operation

a b

Loosen the clamping screws on the tripod legs, pull out to the required length and tighten the clamps.

a) In order to guarantee a firm foothold sufficiently press the tripod legs into the ground. b) When pressing the legs into the ground note that the force must be applied along the legs.

Careful handling of tripod.

• Check all screws and bolts for correct fit.

• During transport always use the cover supplied.

• Use the tripod only for surveying tasks.

3.2 Working with the Battery

Zipp10 | 34

Charging / firsttime use

• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible.

• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to

+40°C/+32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to

+68°F if possible.

• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.

• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.

• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient.

We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a GeoMax product deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity available.

Change the battery step-by-step

Description

3.6 Distance Measurements - Guidelines for Correct Results

A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the Zipp10 instruments. In all versions, the distance can be determined by using a visible red laser beam which emerges coaxially from the telescope objective. There are two EDM modes:

• Prism measurements (P) • Reflectorless measurements (NP)

NP measurements

• When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, for example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the

Operation

Zipp10 | 43

Operation

Zipp10 | 44 instrument and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction.

• Be sure that the laser beam is not reflected by anything close to the line of sight, for example highly reflective objects.

• Avoid interrupting the measuring beam while taking reflectorless measurements or measurements using reflective foils.

• Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously.

P measurements

• Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in P-Standard mode.

• Measurements to strongly reflecting targets such as traffic lights in Prism mode without a prism should be avoided. The measured distances may be wrong or inaccurate.

• When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which is in the beam path at that moment. If for example people, cars, animals, or swaying branches cross the laser beam while a measurement is being taken, a fraction of the laser beam is reflected from these objects and may lead to incorrect distance values.

• Measurements to prisms are only critical if an object crosses the measuring beam at a distance of 0 to 30 m and the distance to be measured is more than 300 m.

• In practice, because the measuring time is very short, the user can always find a way of avoiding unwanted objects from interfering in the beam path.

Red laser to reflector foil

• The visible red laser beam can also be used to measure to reflective foils.

To guarantee the accuracy the red laser beam must be perpendicular to the reflector foil and it must be well adjusted.

• Make sure the additive constant belongs to the selected target (reflector).

8.4.2 Measuring Information

Measurement sequences

Measurements not included in computations

Zipp10 | 94

The following measurement sequences are possible:

• Horizontal direction and vertical-angles only (resection)

• Distance and horizontal direction and vertical-angle

• Horizontal direction and vertical-angles to some point(s) and horizontal direction and vertical angles plus distance to other point(s).

Single face I, single face II, or dual face I and II measurements are always possible. No specific point sequence or specific face sequences are required.

When measuring the same target in both faces, the reflector height may not be changed when observing in the second face. Error checks are made for dual face measurements to ensure the same point is sighted with the other face.

• If a target point is measured several times in the same face, only the last valid measurement is used for computation.

• For the calculation of the station position, measured target points can be re-measured.

Target points with 0.000 height are discarded for height processing. If a target point has a valid height of 0.000 m, use 0.001 m to include it for height processing.

Description

8.4.3 Computation Procedure

The measuring procedure automatically determines the method of evaluation, for example resection or three point resection.

If more than the minimum required measurements are performed, the procedure uses a least squares adjustment to determine the 3D position and averages orientation and height measurements.

• The original averaged face I and face II measurements are used for the computation process.

• All measurements are treated with the same accuracy, whether these are measured in single or dual face.

• Easting and Northing are determined by the least squares method, which includes standard deviation and improvements for horizontal direction and horizontal distances.

• The final height (H) is computed from averaged height differences based on the original measurements.

• The horizontal direction is computed with the original averaged face I and face II measurements and the final computed plan position.

Electronic calibration

10 Calibration

10.1 Overview

GeoMax instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to a high quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to calibrate the instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical parts can be adjusted mechanically.

The following instrument errors can be checked and calibrated electronically:

• Horizontal collimation error, also called line-of-sight error.

• Vertical index error, and simultaneously the electronic level.

For determining these errors, it is necessary to measure in both faces, but the procedure can be started in any face.

Calibration

Zipp10 | 115

Mechanical calibration

)

Calibration

Zipp10 | 116

The following instrument parts can be calibrated mechanically:

• Level on the instrument and tribrach.

• Laser plummet.

• Screws on the tripod.

During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined and set to zero. As mentioned, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations:

• Before the instrument is used for the first time.

• Before every high precision survey.

• After rough or long periods of transport.

• After long periods of work or storage.

• If the temperature difference between current environment and the temperature at the last calibration is more than 10°C (18°F).

)

)

)

10.2 Preparation

Before determining the instrument errors, level-up the instrument using the electronic level. The Level & Plummet is the first screen to appear after turning on the instrument.

The tribrach, the tripod and the ground should be very stable and secure from vibrations or other disturbances.

The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight in order to avoid thermal expansion on one side only.

Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from storage to working environment, but at least 15 min, should be taken into account.

10.3 Calibrating Line-of-Sight and Vertical Index Error

Line-of-sight error

The line-of-sight error, or horizontal collimation error is the deviation from the perpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the line-of-sight error to the horizontal direction increases with the vertical angle.

Vertical index error

a a) Tilting axis b) Line perpendicular to tilting axis c) Horizontal collimation, or line-of-sight, error d) Line-of-sight

1) Prevent direct eye exposure to the beam.

2) Do not direct the beam at other people.

CAUTION

Potential hazards are not only related to direct beams but also to reflected beams aimed at reflecting surfaces such as prisms, windows, mirrors, metallic surfaces, and so on.

Precautions:

1) Do not aim at areas that are essentially reflective, such as a mirror, or which could emit unwanted reflections.

2) Do not look through or beside the optical sight at prisms or reflecting objects when the laser is switched on, in laser pointer or distance measurement mode. Aiming at prisms is only permitted when looking through the telescope.

By entering a scale correction, reductions proportional to distance can be taken into account.

• Atmospheric correction.

• Reduction to mean sea level.

• Projection distortion.

The distance displayed is correct if the scale correction in ppm, mm/km, which has been entered corresponds to the atmospheric conditions prevailing at the time of the measurement.

The atmospheric correction includes:

• Adjustments for air pressure

• Air temperature

For highest precision distance measurements, the atmospheric correction should be determined with:

• An accuracy of 1 ppm

• Air temperature to 1°C

• Air pressure to 3 mbar
