TPS1200+

The new Leica TPS1200+ is the most competitive total station ever. It provides the market's most accurate reflectorless EDM with the smallest laser dot and measures distances over 1000 meters. Thanks to the new telescope fitted to all Leica TPS1200+ models, the user also benefits from the most accurate measurements to reflectors.

Plus: Range and Accuracy

The best reflectorless EDM performance. Measure inaccessible or hard-to-reach targets more than 1000 meters away - without reflectors - and in true PinPoint accuracy. With its combination of range, accuracy, laser dot size and measurement time, the TPS1200+ represents the market's best reflectorless EDM. And thanks to its extended range, there's no need for additional instrument setups to reach missing points.

• Reflectorless range 2000 m
• PinPoint accuracy 2 mm
• Laser dot size 2 cm/50 m

Plus: Speed and Productivity

One person is all it takes to search, lock, and measure points - more efficient and faster than any other one-person-total station in the world. The TPS1200+ works with an improved Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) sensor that tracks and follows the prism with more accuracy and reliability than ever before. If lock is interrupted, then the unmatched PowerSearch sensor quickly relocks onto the prism with one button press. Measure more points and increase productivity.

Plus: Flexibility and Scalability

Leica Geosystems' scalable system philosophy lets you think big, start small, and grow fast. With Leica's SmartStation, SmartRover and SmartPole options, you can add full GNSS functionality to your TPS1200+ Total Station whenever you want. Customize your surveying equipment to your specific tasks, crews and budget. Combine TPS and GNSS in the most efficient way. Invest in flexibility whilst at the same time increase productivity.

Leica TPS1200+ Technical specifications and system features

TPS1200+'s precision angle measurement system operates continuously providing instant horizontal and vertical circle readings that are automatically corrected for any "out of level" by a centrally located twin-axis compensator. The coaxial EDM uses an infrared laser, has various measuring modes, and measures to prisms and reflective tape. The range is excellent - 3 km to a single prism - and the accuracy superb - 1 mm + 1.5 ppm. Resolution is 0.1 mm.

• Fast, continuous, high-accuracy angle measurements
• Choice of accuracy from 1 to 5 seconds
• No initialization
• Twin-axis compensator
• EDM with standard, fast and tracking modes
• Long range, fast measurements and high accuracy
• Totally reliable

PinPoint is the ideal tool for measuring to wall corners, inaccessible objects, facades, rock faces, roofs and walls inside buildings, in fact to anything at which it is difficult to set up a reflector. PinPoint's tightly bundled laser marks the point exactly with a small red dot. Measurements are taken instantly and directly (no complex routines measurement). And with PinPoint you can also take very long distance measurements to prisms.

• Optional for all TPS1200+
• Two versions: standard range R400 (up to 400m), superior range R1000 (up to 1000m)
• Very small laser spot, marks the point exactly
• Standard measurement and tracking modes
• Accuracy as high as 2 mm depending on measuring mode, range and target surface
• Motorized TPS1200+ with PinPoint - the perfect tool for scanning facades and measuring profiles and cross-sections

With ATR, you only need to point roughly with the optical sight and trigger a measurement; TPS1200+ does the rest fully automatically. The infrared beam transmitted from the telescope is reflected back by the prism and analyzed instantly. TPS1200+ moves the telescope, fine points to the center of the prism and measures. As you don't need to fine point or focus, you measure much quicker and more relaxed.

• Optional for motorized TPS1200+
• Fast measurements
• High uniform accuracy independent of operator and light conditions
• Measurements to standard prisms (no need for active target)
• A great aid for all work
• Particularly advantageous for repetition measurements and when measuring to a large number of points

Lock mode is part of ATR and enables TPS1200+ to track a moving reflector. After the initial ATR measurement, TPS1200+ remains "locked" onto the reflector and follows it as it moves. Measurements can be taken at any time. As intelligent software predicts the reflector movement, TPS1200+ continues to track even if obstructions cause short interruptions to the beam. If long interruptions should cause complete loss of lock, just point quickly again with the optical sight or, even better, use PowerSearch.

• Part of ATR
• For motorized TPS1200+
• Best with 360° reflector
• Fully automatic
• Eliminates manual operation
• Very fast measurements
• Perfect for mass point surveys
• Use for topo, DTM, details surveys, profiling etc.

PowerSearch finds reflectors within seconds no matter where they are. With PowerSearch activated, TPS1200+ rotates and sends out a vertical laser fan. As soon as the fan strikes a prism TPS1200+ stops rotating, ATR takes over and fine points - all fully automatically. Use PowerSearch for the first ATR measurement or to find the reflector again if Automatic Target Tracking loses lock completely. PowerSearch is particularly advantageous when operating with remote control.

• Optional for motorized TPS1200+ equipped with ATR
• Activated at the touch of a key or automatically, if configured
• Finds standard prisms (no need for active target)
• Saves time, increases productivity
• Highly recommended for fast, efficient one-man remote control
