Equal to any survey task Theodolites and total stations with 1 accuracy
Leica theodolites and total stations of the 1800 class Survey instruments with which you can carry out your daily work faster, more accurately and more confidently.
New technologies in instrument manufacture enable the measuring procedure to be largely automated. An example of this is the automatic target recognition (ATR) in the TCA1800. These technologies offer you a multi1 mm tude of decisive advantages: shorter measuring times, more precise measurements, easy operation, and efficient assignment of the survey team. The large choice of instrument types, combinations and accessories enables you to put together the instrument configuration which most closely meets your requirements.
The equipment on offer includes: the entire range of theodolites, from the classical theodolite to the automatic total station special prisms, remote control systems, laser plummets and assisted targeting a comprehensive software library with applications programs for all survey tasks.
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) is most useful for routine repeat measurements, e.g.:
Monitoring Sets of angles Measurements in both faces
The automatic target recognition facility is coupled directly to the distancemeasuring capability of the instrument. The observer only needs to point the telescope in the general direction of the target. An infrared light bundle, emitted through the objective, is returned by the reflector. After the reception of this bundle and its subsequent analysis, the telescope travels to align itself with the centre of the prism. Quicker, more reliable, more economic As accurate as measuring manually Time savings of up to 50% Constant accuracy of measurement, even for less experienced observers No expensive special reflectors necessary Resulting in faster procedures to boost productivity
In LOCK mode, automatic target recognition becomes automatic tracking. This is particularly useful during masspoint surveys, e.g.:
for topographical surveys or for setting up topographic models in coded surveys, for post-processing in LIS/GIS systems for staking out
In LOCK mode, the instrument automatically follows the reflector after the first measurement has been taken. Activating a key just once records all values without interrupting the tracking procedure. The 360 reflector is always aligned automatically with the instrument, making work easier. The target remains tracked, even if visual contact with it is lost for short periods.
Software library
The optional remotecontrol system (RCS) enables the observer to trigger, control and code from the target area.
RCS is particularly suitable for mass-point surveys, cadastral surveys, staking out, and machine guidance, and also for lesser tasks which require no assistant. All instrument functions can be called up and displayed with the RCS controller. During stakeout, the display of the path differences between location and target area makes it appreciably easier and quicker to determine the point.
Leica Geosystems offers a wide selection of highperformance, practicerelated applications programs, tailored to the users individual wishes and requirements.
