Leica TPS1200+

The Total Station with the Plus

The new Leica TPS1200+ is our 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 1000 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.

Angle and distance measurement (IR-Mode)

Highest accuracy - Longest range

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 - reflectorless EDM (RL-Mode)

Marks the point precisely - Measures directly

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 (more than 400m), superior range R1000 (more than 1000m)
Very small laser spot,marks the point exactly
Standard measurement and tracking modes
Accuracy as high as2 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

Automatic Target Recognition (ATR)

Automatic fine pointing - Uniform measurement accuracy

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

Automatic Target Tracking (LOCK)

Mass point surveys in record time

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 (PS)

Finds reflector automatically

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
