It is part of the Leica TPS800 series, which also includes the TCR802 and TCR803. Core Operations and Setup

The Leica TCR805 User Manual provides detailed steps for instrument setup and basic functions:

Setup and Leveling: Use the detachable tribrach and integrated electronic level to stabilize the unit. The display will show arrows indicating which foot screws to rotate until a checkmark appears, confirming the unit is perfectly leveled. Measurement Modes:

IR Mode: Uses a visible coax laser for measurements with a reflector.

RL/RL-Prism: Provides reflectorless measurement up to 984 feet (300m) using a narrow red laser beam. leica tcr805 total station user manual work

Keypad Navigation: Use the sidecover on/off key to power the unit. Navigate menus using the alphanumeric and function keys, which correspond to softkey commands at the bottom of the screen. Data Management and Connectivity

The TCR805 includes internal memory and interface options for external data handling:

Internal Storage: Can store up to 8,000–16,000 points depending on the specific model and firmware.

Data Transfer: Connect to a PC or data collector via the RS-232C serial interface. Leica TCR805 Go to product viewer dialog for this item

Communication Settings: To configure for external software like Carlson SurvCE, hold the Menu button for 2 seconds, navigate to Rec Data or Communication Parameters, and set the Baud rate (e.g., 19200) and Parity. Integrated Software Programs

The unit comes with onboard programs for standard surveying tasks:

Orientation and Stationing: Setting coordinates and horizontal circle orientation.

Surveying Tasks: Includes area computation, tie distance (missing line), and reference line offsets. Select the Stakeout program

Setting Out: Direct guidance for positioning points on a construction site. Leica Builder Series How to Guide - FLT Geosystems

Here’s a structured feature development outline for the Leica TCR805 Total Station user manual, focusing on practical, user-centric improvements. This assumes the manual already exists but needs modernization, clarity, or new sections.

6. Setting Out (Stakeout) Work

This is the most common construction task for the TCR805. It involves finding a physical point based on design coordinates.

  1. Select the Stakeout program.
  2. Set Station: Enter the Station Point (where the instrument is set up) and the Backsight Point (a known reference point). This orients the instrument to the site grid.
  3. Target Point: Enter the coordinates of the point you wish to stake out.
  4. The screen will display a "layout vector":
    • $\Delta$Hz (Turn angle): The instrument guides you to turn left or right.
    • $\Delta$Dist: How far to move the prism forward or backward.
  5. Move the prism pole until the deltas read 0.00.
  6. Mark the point on the ground.

Chapter 3: The Art of Reflectorless Measurement (TCR805’s Unique Feature)

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

However, the user manual dedicates a 10-page warning section to RL mode. Here is the distilled manual work you must follow:

Part 9: Advanced Manual Work – Programming and Customization

For power users, the Leica TCR805 manual includes a GeoBASIC section (though limited compared to newer models). You can write simple macros.
