Made to challenge: The new TPS300 Basic Series from Leica Geosystems
In today’s environment ofcontinuous change, compe-titiveness is what countsmost. If you want to stayahead of the competition,you have to boost produc-tivity. This applies not onlyto the way you work buteven more to the tools youuse. You want tools thatallow you to do more withless effort.
With this in mind, the challenge imposed on LeicaGeosystems’ design anddevelopment team wasclear: “Design a reliabletotal station which makespositioning tasks for construction sites easierand faster – at a moreattractive cost of ownershipto the user.”
That’s exactly what we did, and more: LeicaGeosystems’ new TPS300Basic Series surpasses all expectations. With latest-generation technology,superior ergonomics andquality to Leica Geosystemsstandards. It lets you workfaster, more accurately andmore economically. Let it be your “measure mate”.
This series offers:• A faster coaxial EDM• Friendlier on-board
applications• Large internal memory• Endless drive on the
tangent screws• An ergonomic trigger• Dual-axis compensation• A laser plummet• An optional reflectorless
measuring mode• And much more ...
Check it out for yourself:with its extensive line-up offeatures and options, thenew TPS300 Basic Serieswill help you be more com-petitive. The TPS300 is the better and smarterinstrument for constructionapplications! Can youafford not to invest in one?
Reflectorless measurementswith a visible pointer!
The advantages are obvious
Significant time savingsand more convenience arenot the only benefits of reflectorless measurements.Leica Geosystems’ reflector-less EDM allows you tomeasure to difficult targets:corners of buildings,
elevated objects that areinaccessible even with along prism pole, complexprofiles requiring manypoints to be measured and also points to which you have no legal physicalaccess, etc. The reflector-less mode makes measuringa rubble dump just as muchfun as surveying the facadeof a high-rise building or the interior of a building.
New opportunities
Take on new challenges with the Leica Geosystemsreflectorless technology.Simplify post-processing for“as-built” building surveys.Get the correct data for pre-fabricated components inrefurbishment and installa-tion projects. Improve yourquotation time for interiordecoration jobs. The scopeof applications for LeicaGeosystems’ reflectorlesstotal station is limited only by your imagination.You won’t run out of options with the TPS300’s TCR models – the better and smarter instruments
for construction and building applications!
The TCR models in the TPS300 BasicSeries let you takemeasurements with or without areflector. LeicaGeosystems’
innovative coaxial reflec-torless technology uses abeam with a very smallspot size – 12 mm at 50 mto be exact. The integrateddual-mode infrared andvisible red EDM technologyallows you to quicklyswitch between the modeswith one keystroke. Youdecide how you want towork. The TCR does the jobyour way.
Get results the easy way
Steer the laser spot or aimthe telescope cross-hairsat your target and triggerthe measurement. Getimmediate results for thetargets to an accuracy of3 mm + 2 ppm. No offsetsor corrections for thosehard to reach points!No prisms or specialreflectors to manage.Just point and shoot.
While waiting for your assistant to get to the nextpoint, change to the reflec-torless mode to pick upadditional points. You cancollect more information ina shorter time.
This flexibility saves timewhich – on the bottom line– translates into potentialfor higher earnings!
The flyweight
The TPS300, even whenfully configured, has a com-pact size and lightweightcompared with total stati-ons in its class. It is cer-tainly easy to handle andtransport.
A common-sense energyconcept
TPS300 instruments run onordinary camcorder batte-ries. These rechargeablebatteries are commerciallyavailable and less expen-sive than custom batteries.
Two NiMH camcorder batteries with an extendedtemperature range (-20°C to+50°C) are delivered witheach instrument. So youwould not have power pro-blems on a typical workday(for those 18-hour days, werecommend a quick chargeunit which you can connectto the cigarette lightersocket in your car.)
Tops in ergonomics
The more features a totalstation has, the greater theimportance of operatingconvenience. That’s whythe TPS300 is equippedwith an intuitive keyboardwith predefined keys thathave a consistent meaningin every menu. Cursor keysmake it easy to navigate on the display. That’s abenefit particularly appre-ciated by users who don’twork with the TPS300 everyday.
The learning curve for theTPS300 will certainly beshort. On-screen promptswill guide you.
More than just a willinghelper
The job management fea-ture of the TPS300 allowsyou to survey or load up toeight assignments. Beforeyou start your work, theTPS300 will prompt you todefine your job, set the sta-tion and orientation. Thatprevents errors and avoidsthe expensive repetition ofmeasurements or entirejobs.
300 meters in 0.3 seconds
The electronic distance mea-surement (EDM) featureworks coaxially and withunprecedented speed –in the tracking mode only0.3 seconds. A faster EDMalso speeds up the time toyour target in setting out.Speed is everything in atotal station. Even if youdon’t need to work fast,don’t let slow EDM controlyour pace of work.
Indexing? Forget it!
The absolute, continuousangular measurementmethod employed by theTPS300 eliminates the needfor indexing after power-up.And even following a shut-down, the instrument willnot lose its orientation.
This is because the LeicaGeosystems angle encoderdetermines the angle basedon the position of the sen-sor. This gives you the bestin operational readiness. Itis a long Leica Geosystemstradition.

Dual-axis compensation
The integrated dual-axiscompensation of the TPS300automatically handles thefine leveling and angle cor-rection for the vertical andhorizontal axes. This impro-ves the accuracy of yourmeasurements.
Ample memory capacity
The affordability of theTPS300 does not mean youhave to accept a tradeoff interms of memory: it has thecapacity to store 4000 datarecords. That’s plenty tostore coordinates for set-ting out or to save measure-ments.
Biggest screen in class
The TPS300 features thebiggest screen in its class:it displays eight rows of 24 characters. Therefore itoffers a clearer picture withall relevant information ina single display. There’s noneed to switch displays forfrequently required infor-mation.
Only shorthand is faster
The TPS300’s unique alpha-numeric entry mode consid-erably simplifies your workbecause you can set anycharacter faster – faster, infact, than with any otherinstrument in this class –unless you know short-hand …
Adaptability that makes adifference
All TPS300 models have avery flexible data outputsystem which lets youupload format templates tothe instrument so that youcan download data in a sel-ected format that is mostconvenient for post-proces-sing in your office.
No communication problems
The fast serial (RS232) portof the TPS300 supports theGSI (GEO Serial Interface)commands. Therefore it isdownward-compatible tomany peripheral deviceswhich communicate underthe GSI protocol. In addi-tion, the TPS300 also sup-ports a number of non-Leica Geosystems interfacecommands.
On-board utilities
The TPS300 models comeconfigured with many use-ful functions and programs.The USER or FNC key letsyou activate a function atany time. You can assignone of the available func-tions to the USER key. REM(Remote elevation meas-urement) and REC areexamples of functionswhile programs are settingout, tie distance, surveying,free station computing andarea computing.
Software for everything
All TPS300 models are compatible with Leica Geosystems’ Open SurveyWorld (OSW) platform. Inother words, all data interchange functions are transacted with Leica Geosystems’ new “LEICASurveyOffice” softwarepackage.
Your investment is protected
TPS300 can be configuredwith the latest softwaretomorrow and beyond. TheTPS300 Basic platform iswhere technology makessense.
...To top it all off: Leica quality
Granted, the TPS300 is no-ticeably less expensive thancomparable competitiveproducts. However thisdoes not compromise
Leica Geosystems’ legend-ary quality standards: If it’s signed Leica Geo-systems, Leica Geosystemsstands behind it. Moreover,each and every TPS300 issubjected to a series ofstringent tests before it isshipped, so all instrumentseasily fulfill the applicablerequirements for field use,including compliance withIP54 protection according to IEC 529.
