To be precise:Every detail countsAs far as the eye could see, there was nothing. Then came the surveyprofessionals. Today an entire city district stands where earlier fields andmeadows were. Measurement experts work as pioneers for the realisation of thevisions and plans of others. The results of their work are essential. Their meaninglies in the truth upon which the others trust. It is with this consciousness that Leica Geosystems designs its instruments. It is from this standpoint thatLeica Geosystems builds accessories that have been meticulously aligned to theinstruments. Every detail counts, when visions are to become reality.COMSA EMTE offersMario Studer is Manager ofcomprehensive services inEngineering Surveying at BSFrailway infrastructures andSwissphoto, a company ofhas gained worldwidethe internationally activereputation.

Valuable accessoriesFor valuable resultsThe term “quality” is quickly and easily said, as long as one is not talking about concreteresults. But it is only results that count: for the professional user, the measurement result.For Leica Geosystems, the satisfied customer. And that is over years and decades.The quality of the originalFor about 90 years, Leica Geosystems has given theterm “quality” concrete substance. It covers not onlythe mechanical and optical quality of the accessories,but also, in the last decade increasingly important, theelectronic quality with the criteria data integrity anddata security. This comprehensive quality is the resultof a unique process with clear guidelines andmeticulous controls: starting with the qualifications ofthe supplier, to the testing, processing and refining ofthe materials, from the assembly of the componentsup to the tuning of the accessories to the instruments,and the accompanying tests for compliance to allspecifications.The precision of the originalPrecision can only be defined as the accuracy of the instrument and accessory system as a whole. Speakingwith the experience of the professional: “The best instrument is worth less when the accessory is not perfectly aligned to that instrument.” The value ofthe original can be recognised when accessories with descriptions such as “Leica-like” are offered. This onours us, but does not help our customers further,hbecause these products neither match the quality thecustomer expects from original Leica Geosystemsaccessories, nor are they as perfectly aligned to theLeica Geosystems instruments.The reliability of the originalJust as the expert sometimes has to perform tasks in minustemperatures, so must his equipment always functionsmoothly, even in extreme conditions. And just as thetechnician works for many years, so should his equipmentgive him many long years of service, like the originalaccessories from Leica Geosystems.The guarantee of the original1. The exchange guarantee during the warranty period ofone year means that you promptly receive a new, identicalproduct or a repaired product, should your accessory exhibitmanufacturing defects.2. The replacement parts guarantee means that during theproduct’s lifetime, and according to the accessory series(see pages 4/5), even after the discontinuation of a product, Leica Geosystems will have replacement parts available foryou.5

Transparent choiceFor your individual requirementsAll our customers are experts in their fields. All have the need for professio nalaccessories of outstanding quality. Many of them quite simply want “thebest”, and therefore the accessories of the “Professional 5000 Series”.Based on their daily work and requirements, some make the products of the“Professional 3000 or 1000 Series” their choice. Whatever the case may be,it is a decision for quality.6

Three Original Accessory seriesFor your benefitQuality always remains quality. But not every user needs extremely low measurement tolerances or works under extraordinary climatic conditions. That is why Leica Geosystemsoffers its original accessories in three series for differing requirements. There is a lower limit, through which quality is defined. There is, however, no upper limit, because our customers’ demand for maximum performance rises continually.professional 5000professional 3000professional 1000Price/ PerformanceThe Professional 5000 Seriesmeets the highest demandsfor precision, reliability,longevity and service.The Professional 3000 Seriesmeets high standards in exactness, function,consistency and service.The Professional 1000 Seriesreliably fulfils allrequirements of the mostcommon surveying tasks.AccuracyYou achieve the best possiblemeasurement accuracy withthese products.

Original TripodsFor stabilityThe most important criterion for a good tripod is its stability, quite explicitly,the torsional rigidity. With that, a very valuable, but not the only, argumentfor the original tripod from Leica Geosystems has been named. Othersubstantial benefits are the height stability under load and the minimalhorizontal drift. Also not to be underestimated are advantages such as longlife, optimal vibration dampening, water resistance, outstanding behaviourin solar radiation and their weight in relation to load-bearing capacity.8

Transparent choiceThe best tripod for your requirementsLeica Geosystems offers you a large selection of high-value tripods for all surveyinstruments and applications. The right tripod choice is decisive if the indicatedaccuracy of an instrument is to be reached. The classification “heavy duty” and“light duty” is widely based on ISO Norm 12858-2. They differ through thestability requirements and instrument weight.professional 5000professional 3000TripodHeavy duty The Professional 5000 Seriesconsists solely of heavy dutywooden tripods providing higheststability. Best height stability, maximumtorsional rigidity and minimalhorizontal drift over long timeperiods. Suitable for instruments up to15 kg. Recommended for the highestangle accuracy of 3" and less. Due to vibration dampeningcharacteristics of the carefullyselected beech wood, this seriesis highly recommended for usewith motorised TPS instruments. With its height stability, thisseries perfectly complementsthe Leica DNA03 digital level.TripodLight duty The Professional 3000 Seriesconsists of high value, light dutytripods. Suitable for instruments withweights of under 5 kg. Optimised for maximum lifetimein most difficult of operatingconditions. Available in either wood oraluminium, according to application. GST05 wooden tripod suitable fornon-motorised TPS instrumentswith angle accuracy from 5" to 7".Ideal tripod for mobile GNSSReference Stations as well as staticobservations. GST05L aluminium tripod. Suitablefor short-term prism stations oncontrol points or as a light tripodfor GNSS measurement campaigns.The stability of the originalLeica Geosystems tripods are manufactured solely fromwood or aluminium. Wood, especially the beech andbirch used by Leica Geosystems, offers the beststability values, measured on vertical movement andhorizontal drift over time. Wood also exhibits optimalvibration characteristics and therefore deliversprofessional 1000TripodAll-round The Professional 1000 Seriesconsists of heavy and light tripodsfor demanding applicationconditions.

The GST103 aluminium tripod isparticularly suitable for automaticlevelling as well as for prismstations with reduced accuracyrequirements.substantial benefits, especially in the use of motorised TPS.The surfaces of the wooden tripods are sealed several timesto prevent moisture absorption and to maximum longevity.Aluminium tripods are robust and save weight, their range ofapplication is however limited.9

Original TribrachsAccuracy through torsional rigiditySimilarly to the stability of the tripod, that of the tribrach is a significantfactor in measurement accuracy. The torsional rigidity, the most importantcriterion of a tribrach, is constantly controlled and tested during itsproduction. The maintenance-free foot screws of the Leica Geosystemstribrach provide movement that is always smooth and free of play, evenafter years of use. The precise alignment of the support area to the baseplate of the instrument assures extremely accurate forced centring. Theoptical plummet is so robust that the need for adjustment during the entirelifetime of the tribrach is practically unnecessary. Its constructionpredestines the tribrach for all applications, including extreme temperaturesand high dust and humidity.10
