Manual Work Extra Quality: Leica Tcr805 Total Station User

Operational Guide: Working with the Leica TCR805 Total Station

1. Introduction

The Leica TCR805 is part of the popular FlexLine series. It is a robust, manual total station known for its reliability in construction and surveying tasks. As a "TCR" model, it features Reflectorless (RL) measurement capabilities, allowing it to measure distances to objects without a prism using a laser, alongside standard infrared (IR) measurements with prisms.

• Produce a printable one-page quick-start checklist,
• Create step-by-step stakeout instructions tailored for construction layout (with example coordinates),
• Or draft a short training sheet for new operators with illustrations (describe which format you prefer).

Before powering on:

• Secure the instrument to the tribrach; hand-tighten the locking screw.

: Includes Resection (calculating coordinates from known points), Tie Distance (missing line measurement), Area Computation, and Reference Line setup.

Unlike older total stations, the TCR805 includes Power Reflectorless (RL) technology. This allows you to measure points without a prism—ideal for: Operational Guide: Working with the Leica TCR805 Total

4. Instrument Setup & Orientation

4.1 Station Setup (known point)

1. MENU → F1 (Programs) → F2 (Station Setup)
2. Method: F1 (Known) → Enter Station ID (e.g., S001)
3. Enter coordinates: N, E, Z (Northing, Easting, Elevation)
4. Instrument height: Enter HI (tape measurement)
5. Orientate:

   Step 2: Level the Instrument
   – Use the electronic bubble level (or optical level vial).
   – Adjust foot screws until the bubble is centered in both orthogonal directions.
   – Rotate instrument 180° to verify bubble remains centered. Before powering on:
