21. 21 Powering the Tracker 21 BatteryPower SupplyPower Over Ethernet Controller Battery Sensor Battery Setting up the system

22. 22 The Battery at the Tracker is used first! The Battery at the ATC400 is only powering the consumption of the Controller. Only when the Battery at the Tracker (AT401) is empty the Battery from the Controller is used to Power the System. Make sure the Battery at the Tracker is never fully discharged for a long period or it will destroy it self! Setting up the system Battery Usage

23. 23 Power Concept Battery 23 The AT401 ONLY WORKS WITH BATTERY INSERTED! This because the weight of the Head should always be the same. Battery will NOT be charged by the Power Supply when placed at the ATC400 or the AT401!

24. 24 Power Concept Hot Swapping 24 Hot Swapping Hot Swapping means the Battery at the ATC400 can be swapped if the capacity is running low. Prepare a fully loaded Battery and within 10 seconds the battery has to be changed for not loosing the connection. To allow for hot swapping the AT401 / ATC400 must be on battery power for a minimum of 4 minutes. Only when the AT401 / ATC400 are on battery the High-Caps (this are capacitors which are getting charged) can they be charged. The High-Caps provide power to the AT401 / ATC400 for approximately 15 seconds. External Power Supply and PoE do not charge the High-Caps!

71. 71 Two Face Field Check: Set-up Two Face Field Check checks the angular performance of the system in the current environment with user specific settings.

72. 72 The scale bar needs to be remain completely stable during the check. Measurements should be taken at an average distance in the measurement zone. Scale Bar needs to be added by an advanced user. ( Advanced class) Scale Bar Field Check: Set-Up

73. 73 Menu Bar Sensor Check is for Advanced User ONLY!

74. 74 DRO: Coordinate System All users now have 3 options for how the coordinates are displayed in the DRO. This can be modified in under Settings/Units: Cylindrical Coordinate System.Spherical Coordinate System Cartesian Coordinate System.

75. 75 DRO Measurements Problem with Measurement The Reflector is not stable … The view to the reflector is bad because of dust … The vibration is too much at the reflector or the whole building is vibrating maybe beyond recognition …

76. 76 High U95 Autotrigger Tracker Pilot will warn if the measurement uncertainty is high. If the sensor detects an unstable environment it will proceed to re-measure automatically. Note: This is in Tracker Pilot only.

77. 77 Tracker Pilot The concept Uncertainty U (95) = 2 Sigma 77 U95 – Expanded uncertainty If the purpose of the uncertainty statement is to provide coverage with a high level of confidence, an expanded uncertainty is computed as U = ku where k is chosen to be the t 1-α/2,ν critical value from the T-table with ν degrees of freedom. For large degrees of freedom, k = 2 approximates 95 % coverage. 5% of the measurements can be outside of the tolerance If the Measurement is not within tolerance, the measurement can be repeated up to 3 times.

78. 78 Turning off the Inclination Sensor When the sensor can’t measure due to vibration or instability Examples: Inside a plane On a ship

79. AT40x Introduction Training 79 Check & Compensation General Concept

80. 80 Check & Compensation General Concept 80 Check & Compensation General Concept Quick temperature changes, frequent movement of the Tracker System, shock or stress can cause deviations and a decrease of the measurement accuracy. It is therefore recommended to check the Tracker System in regular intervals. This can be done on- site by running through specific check. If checks do not provide satisfying results repeatedly, a compensation of the product is recommended.

81. 81 Check & Compensation General Concept 81 Field Check The achievable accuracy under given working conditions depends not exclusively on the Absolute Tracker system performance. The following external influences need to be considered as well: FactorExample Environmental conditions  floor stability  target stability  temperature gradient  heat influence like sunshine and machine heating Hardware accessories  target quality  tripod stability  use of external temperature sensor Measurement process  user settings  operator experience  measuring processes

82. 82 Check & Compensation General Concept 82 Sensor Check A field check is therefore an overall check. To check only Tracker system performance a sensor check is required. A sensor check allows to test if the manufactures specifications are complied with the current active Absolute Tracker parameter. A sensor check should be performed when a field check is reported as “Not OK” although the external influences decreasing the measurement precision are minimized.

83. 83 Check & Compensation General Concept 83 Compensation If sensor check does not provide satisfying results repeatedly, a compensation of the Tracker System is recommended. Compensation allows refreshing and adjusting Absolute Tracker parameter changes.

84. 84 Field Check vs. Sensor Check Field CheckSensor Check Why?Perform a Field Check when you want to know if your Laser Tracker can achieve the desired accuracy in a given environment Preform a sensor check to make sure the tracker is measuring within specification.

87. 87 Field Check Options

88. 88 Field Check: Two Face Check / Set-up Two Face Field Check checks the angular performance of the system in the current environment with user specific settings. Since there is no guidance for taking measurements, the idea is to place the points to be measured as far out as the object space is and place measured points above and below; simply like a box over the object.

89. 89 Field Check: Two Face Check / Measurement The two face field check has no measurement guidance. The view shows the location of the target as well as where the measured points are taken.

90. 90 Field Check: Two Face Check / Results Two Face Field Check deviation results are expressed in 3-D deviation This makes it easier for to determine if a sensor in a given measurement situation can achieve what is needed for the task at hand. A simple Pass/Fail is given based on the sensors specification (default tolerance extension 50%).

91. 91 Field Check: Two Face Check / Report

92. 92 The scale bar needs to be remain completely stable during the check. Measurements should be taken at an average distance in the measurement zone. Scale Bar needs to be added by an advanced user. ( Advanced class) Scale Bar Field Check: Set-Up

Defined procedure sequence Need to be logged in as Advanced user A stable and controlled environment RRR1.5” reflector If the sensor check fails then the sensor needs to be compensated. Two sensor checks as available: Note: It is now possible to use the sensor check measurements to compensate the sensor. Sensor Checks: Description

100. 100 The sensor checks will be greyed out if the requirements for the sensor check are not met. Place the mouse over the check to see the impediment: Once all requirements have been met, the user can access the sensor checks: Sensor Checks: Impediments Tracker needs to be Leveled Compensator Turned On Completely Warmed Up Initialized at >8m Tracker Pilot will auto set the following settings Reflector RRR1.5 Measurement mode set to Precise

101. 101 Sensor Checks: Angle Sensor Check / Measurements An Angle Sensor Check verifies the angular measurement performance of the system and determines if an angle compensation will be necessary. The image below shows where the 6 points for the angle sensor check are to be taken: The DRO will guide the user to the correct location. In the example below the reflector needs to be moved back. Measurement out of tolerance Measurement not taken in the correct location

102. 102 Sensor Checks: Angle Sensor Check / Results Here is report of an Angle Check: Sensor Reports states if the environment was stable and if the correct set-up was adhered to or not:

103. 103 Sensor Checks: Angle Sensor Check / Angle Compensation If the angle sensor check is then an angle compensation should be created. The points measured for the sensor check will automatically be populated in the Angle Compensation Wizard. Note: The 3-D deviation values will be different. The angle check uses the active compensation at the time of measurement whereas the compensation wizard goes back to using raw uncompensated values. Angle Compensation Wizard Option Same measured points

104. 104 Sensor Checks: ADM Sensor Check The ADM sensor check verifies the distance measurement performance of the system and determines if a distance compensation will be necessary. Inside 1 Place the sensor in between 2 reflectors that are at the same height as the sensor Outside Position the sensor to the outside station Inside 2 Move the sensor back to the start position and re-measure the points

105. 105 Sensor Checks: ADM Sensor Check / Measurement The ADM sensor check wizard, is a step by step guide for the ADM check stations and the points to be measured. Inside 1 OutsideInside 2

106. 106 Sensor Checks: ADM Sensor Check / ADM Compensation If the ADM sensor check is then an ADM compensation should be created. All the measurements will be populated into the ADM compensation wizard and within a couple of clicks the system can be compensated. ADM Check Results

107. 107 Sensor Checks: Probe Check 107

108. 108 Sensor Checks: Probe Check 108 The Probe Check verifies the 6Dof measurement performance of the Absolute Tracker and B-Probe and determines if the B-Probe body or the camera needs to be compensated. Probe Check must be performed with a B-Probe target selected. The Absolute Tracker must have been initialized at least in the last hour. Probe Check measurements consist of the following 1-step process: 1. Measurement of two fixed points, at the height of tilting axis of the Absolute Tracker AT402 at a given distance. Measurements are to be done in the compensation tool. No hand held measurements.

109. 109 Sensor Check Best- Practices Carry out sensor checks in a stable environment that the tracker is being used for measurement Use the reflector serial number as a reference to always have the reflector in the same orientation.

115. 115 General Optical elements like: Cover glass Reflectors Are sensitive towards: moisture and dirt mechanical damage Cleaning-Drying & Cleaning optical parts Which can result in: General functionality loss System accuracy Therefore the following parts MUST be cleaned regularly: Cover Glas Reflectors

116. 116 Outside of Tracker, mechanical parts Cleaning-Drying & Cleaning optical parts Always try to clean by using an air blower! Blowing dust away does not result in scratches! If liquid is needed use Isopropanol for a cleaning liquid. Do NOT use a regular tissue on optics, it will end up leaving scratches! Use a clean, soft cotton wool cloth! If liquid is needed use Isopropanol for a cleaning liquid.

117. 117 Cleaning Cover Glass Optical elements, like the cover glass and reflectors, are sensitive to dirt, moisture and mechanical damage, which may influence the following factors: General functionality (loss of tracking) System accuracy (angular and distance accuracy) Intensity of laser beam Cover Glass

118. 118 Cleaning Reflectors Cleaning optical parts To clean optical parts like cover glass, reflectors etc., use the following procedure: 1) Use hand blower to clear out dirt. 2) Never touch any glass surfaces with your fingers. 3) Use a hairbrush to loosen and remove remaining dirt. 4) Repeat procedure with the hand blower and brush until the residues of dirt have been removed. 5) Use the cotton swabs or cleaning tissues soaked in cleaning liquid to remove any remaining dirt. BRR A special procedure applies for the cleaning of Break Resistant Reflectors. CAUTION For the cleaning of Break Resistant Reflectors (BRR) never use any mechanical force like brushes or cotton swabs to clean the coated surfaces!

119. 119 Adjusting Circular Level (Bulls Eye Level) Adjust the Level of the AT402 1.Keep AT402 mounted on Tripod 2.Level the instrument precisely with the electronic level at the Level display of the AT Controller 400 using the foot screws. 3.Check the position of the Circular level of the AT402 Move telescope in such a way that you have clear visible access to the level. If it is dark, the LED of the Tracker help you to lighten up the level) 4.If the circular level is not at the center, adjust as follows: Place the allen key into one of the adjustment screws (see 4 on sketch). Turn the screws until the bubble is in the center of the engraved circle. 5.Check now that both, the bubble at the controller and the one of the Tracker is at center. If not, rotate the Tracker 180°. The bubble is not out of center you will have to consult the service center. 6.To center the Level of the tribrach, remove the Tracker gentle and use allen key on the adjustment screws to center the bubble.

120. 120 Damp or moistened products Cleaning-Drying & Cleaning optical parts Blow out dirt from inside the plugs. Standing on Lemo-Plugs may damage the plug. Roll cables up! Do not buckle cables or it will result in braking the wires or copper braid inside the cable. Cables and plugs Never store instrument when wet or moistened into closed caring case! If the equipment is wet or moistened dry with soft cotton cloth and remove covers like battery cover before storing away. Leave all accessories etc. outside of case until they are fully dry.
