• Leica TOTAL STATION ACCESSORIES

A) Tripods

The most important criterion for a good tripod is its stability, quite explicitly, the torsional rigidity. With that, a very valuable, but not the only, argument for the original tripod from Leica Geosystems has been named. Other substantial benefits are the height stability under load and the minimal horizontal drift. Also not to be underestimated are advantages such as long life, optimal vibration dampening, water resistance, outstanding behaviour in solar radiation and their weight in relation to load-bearing capacity.

• TRIPOD HEAVY DUTY

The Professional 5000 Series consists solely of heavy duty wooden tripods providing highest stability. Best height stability, maximum torsional rigidity and minimal horizontal drift over long time periods. Suitable for instruments up to 15 kg. Recommended for the highest angle accuracy of 3" and less. Due to vibration dampening characteristics of the carefully selected beech wood, this series is highly recommended for use with motorised TPS instruments. With its height stability, this series perfectly complements the LS15 digital level.

• TRIPOD LIGHT DUTY

The Professional 3000 Series consists of high value, light duty tripods. Suitable for instruments with weights of under 5 kg. Optimised for maximum lifetime in most difficult of operating conditions. Available in either wood or aluminium, according to ¬application. GST05 wooden tripod suitable for non-motorised TPS instruments with angle accuracy from 5" to 7". Ideal tripod for mobile GNSS reference stations as well as static observations. GST05L aluminium tripod. Suitable for short-term prism stations on control points or as a light tripod for GNSS measurement campaigns.

• TRIPOD UNIVERSAL

The Professional 1000 Series consists of heavy and light tripods for demanding application conditions. The GST101 heavy wooden tripod is made from birch and proves itself for precise backsights and control points. The GST103 aluminium tripod is particularly suitable for automatic levelling as well as for prism stations with reduced accuracy requirements.

B) TRIBRACH

Similarly to the stability of the tripod, that of the tribrach is a significant factor in measurement accuracy. The torsional rigidity, the most important criterion of a tribrach, is constantly controlled and tested during its production. The maintenance-free foot screws of the Leica Geosystems tribrach provide movement that is always smooth and free of play, even after years of use. The precise alignment of the support area to the base plate of the instrument assures extremely accurate forced centring. The optical plummet is so robust that the need for adjustment during the entire lifetime of the tribrach is practically unnecessary. Its construction predestines the tribrach for all applications, including extreme temperatures and high dust and humidity.

• GDF 321 GDF 322

The hysteresis of the Professional 5000 Series tribrachs is guaranteed to a maximum of 1" (0.3 mgon) or better. The foot screws are maintenance-free and ensure a movement that is smooth and free of play, even in the most severe environmental conditions. The tribrachs in this series are recommended for all tasks that require angle measurements of under 3". Due to the minimal hysteresis, we recommend use of the Professional 5000 Series for all motorised instruments.

• GDF 311 GDF 312

The hysteresis of the Professional 3000 Series tribrachs amounts to a maximum of 3" (1.0 mgon). The foot screws are maintenance-free and have a larger diameter. This allows for fine adjustments, even when wearing work gloves under difficult environmental conditions. These tribrachs are suitable for non-motorised TPS instruments with angle accuracy from 5" to 7" and GNSS antenna stations as well as backsights and control.

• GDF 301 GDF 302

The hysteresis of the Professional 1000 Series tribrachs amounts to a maximum of 5" (1.5 mgon). The GDF101 and GDF102 are cost effective tribrachs which prove themselves in use under normal environmental conditions. These tribrachs are suitable for non-motorised TPS instruments with angle accuracy of 7" and single frequency GNSS antenna stations.

C) Carriers

The Original carriers distinguish themselves through outstanding quality features. The high precision carriers of the Professional 5000 Series offer you a choice between a carrier with laser plummet, or optical plummet and longitudinal bubble for high accuracy positioning.

• GRT247, CARRIER WITH 5/8" THREAD FOR GS15

Simple carrier for use in tribrachs with optical plummet. For direct fitting of GS15 GNSS receiver. Reflector centring accuracy 1.0 mm.

E) Reflectors

The range of a prism results from, among other things, its coating and the glass geometry. A number of Original prisms from Leica Geosystems have a special coating on the reflective surfaces – the Anti-Reflex Coating, and a copper coating on the reverse side. Without these, the range of distance measuring, ATR and Powersearch would be reduced by up to 30%. The workmanship and the durability of the copper coating are decisive for a long life. The glass dimensions, the position in the holder and with it the areal orientation, are important for measuring accuracy.

Transparent choice

Leica Geosystems offers a transparent selection of prisms in various sizes for different areas of application. These are standard prisms, special prisms, mini prisms as well as monitoring prisms.

Professional 5000: HIGHEST ACCURACY Professional 3000: MAXIMUM LIFETIME Professional 1000: COST EFFECTIVE MEASURING

Centring Accuracy

Measurement errors occur if Original prism holders are not used. Substitutes are not configured according to Leica Geosystems criterion and often exhibit displacement between prism, holder and recording pin. The holder and the prism constitute a unit with which the centring and repeat accuracy is defined. The smallest dimensional change in the geometry of a glass prism or on the holder can lead to a deviation from the centring axis and thereby create measurement errors.

Range

The beam deviation of a prism defines the its maximum range, according to the principle "entering beam should equal the exiting beam". The smaller the beam deviation (measured in angle seconds), the greater the directly reflected signal strength to the sender optic. The returned signal quality defines the maximum range of a measurement.

Lifetime

In contrast to many conventional prisms, the reflective copper coating on the reverse side of Original prisms consists of a support coating, a vacuum-metallised copper coating, a protective coating and an overlying coat of lacquer. The special adhesive lacquer protects the underlying layers from corrosion and detachment. Working together, the copper coating and the lacquer increase the life of the prism significantly. An additional anti-reflex coating on the sensitive front surface of the prism provides a tough resistance to scratches. The production process of these coatings is so complex that only a very few manufacturers worldwide meet the requirements of Leica original prisms.

Measurement Accuracy

Measurement errors occur frequently at close ranges when prisms without anti-reflex coating are used, as the front of a prism always directly reflects a certain percentage of a signal. Errors occur in the use of prisms without copper coating on the back side when moisture droplets accumulate or the prism becomes foggy. Leica Geosystems therefore uses either the stated reflective coating or a patented system for the prevention of fogging and condensation.

The optimal prism for your application Leica Geosystems offers a transparent selection of prisms in various sizes for different areas of application. These are standard prisms, special prisms, mini prisms as well as monitoring prisms.

F) Bags & Containers

Valuable, sensitive instruments and accessories are optimally protected in Leica Geosystems containers and bags. The hard-shell cases are subjected to drop tests and protect the contents with against drops, dust and splashing water. At the same time, the containers and bags are designed for maximum protection and the best possible carrying comfort.

G) TPS & GNSS Poles

The right pole for your task

Leica Geosystems offers you a large selection of high-value poles for all survey instruments and applications. The right pole choice is decisive if the indicated accuracy of an instrument is to be reached. The classifcation “heavy duty” and “light duty” is widely based on ISO Norm 12858-2. They differ through the stability requirements and instrument weight.

• GLS51 & GLS51F TELESCOPIC POLES

The GLS51 and GLS51F Telescopic Poles were developed with the Leica AP20 AutoPole, a unique smart system that boosts on-site productivity by enabling point measurements with a tilted pole, automatically measuring target heights up to 2.20 m, plus searching and locking to a specific target. The mechanical interface to the AP20 AutoPole ensures precise axis alignment for reliable tilt compensation and stable use in any pole handling, including when the pole is inverted. The reflector pole can be used with the AP20 sensor and also as a high-class passive pole (without AP20 features), providing the well-known analogue bubble and a printed height scale (metric or feet). GLS51 and GLS51F are compatible with existing surveying prisms and a lot of existing Leica Geosystems accessories such as pole clamps, bi-pods, prism adapters, and exchangeable pole tips. GLS51 and GLS51F come in a black design, in line with their high-grade carbon/glass fibre material.

H) Data Storage Media

• Leica Geosystems storage media are perfectly matched to Leica Geosystems instruments and sensors. Compared to conventional devices on the market, that read or write single data, these instruments have a different functional principle. The TPS or GNSS instruments create a database on the memory card and switch constantly between different open files. Standard memory cards are unable to manage this required multi-tasking function. This leads to problems in data communication and is one of the main causes of data loss. Furthermore, the original storage media also function with highest reliability in extreme temperatures, handling shock and high humidity.

I) Eyepieces

The optical performance and quality from Leica Geosystems have set a worldwide standard, and this is naturally also true for the eyepieces and ancillary lenses for the instruments. This is important in order not to compromise the instrument optics with lower quality accessories. Eyepieces for comfortable observations of steep sights, up to the zenith, with thread connection. Solar filters for the objectives of all TPS instruments. Autocollimation and magnification eyepieces as well as covers for all eyepieces and lenses.

J) Data Transfer Cables:

The Leica Geosystems accessory program includes data transfer cables, power tension cables and antenna cables of the highest quality. For data transfer, Leica Geosystems offers serial and USB data cables. The data transfer over the cable from and to the instrument is therefore extremely reliable and secure, even in extreme heat, cold, snow and rain.

All Leica Geosystems cables are equipped with LEMO® plugs for outdoor use. The precision connections of recognised market leaders are found not only at Leica Geosystems, but also in other applications where similar quality demands are made, such as aviation, aerospace and medical technologies. A further significant quality component of the Leica Geosystems cable is its casing. It is constructed so that the cable can be stored at temperatures from –40°C to +70°C and functions reliably at operating temperatures from -20°C to +55°C while remaining elastic in handling. Last but not least, although not visible from the exterior, it is the cable material that determines the security of data transfer. The original cable contains only high-value cable casing, tested shielding and highly conductive copper litz wires. In other cables, such as “Leica-like” replicas, quite inferior value cable material, sometimes even with aluminium litz wires, is used. This aspect alone can lead to strong disturbances and transfer errors.
