Reflector Mode (IR): Used with standard prisms. This provides the highest accuracy and longest range. It is ideal for boundary surveys and high-precision construction layout.Reflectorless Mode (RL): Allows you to measure distances to almost any surface (walls, power lines, cliffs) without a prism. This is a game-changer for measuring inaccessible points or increasing speed on a busy site.

The "Measure" screen is your primary workspace. Here, you can view horizontal angles, vertical angles, and slope distances. The function keys at the bottom of the screen change depending on the active menu, providing quick access to distance measurements (DIST), data recording (REC), and electronic leveling tools. Initial Instrument Setup and Leveling Reflector Mode (IR): Used with standard prisms
The TCR805 is equipped with several onboard software programs to streamline common tasks: Data Management and Export This is a game-changer for measuring inaccessible points
Turn on the instrument and use the electronic level (digitized bubble) for fine leveling. Adjust the tribrach footscrews until the tilt error is within acceptable limits (usually less than 5 seconds).
To maintain the TCR805’s accuracy, regular maintenance is required. Always store the instrument in its hard case when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations or moisture.
One of the standout features of the TCR805 is its Reflectorless (RL) capability.
