Top 6 FeaturesUSP’s and Benefits

1. Shock Absorbers

2. Size & Weight

3. Robustness

4. Performance

5. Integration

6. Flexibility

13 - for Leica internal use only -

Top 6 Features: # 1Shock Absorbers

Feature Benefit

Internal suspension shock absorbers No external shock mounts required

Optimised suspension for both:-Shock as well as-Vibration

Withstands stress of:- Normal machine heavy site use- Machine vibration via engine, etc.

Easier mounting MNS1200 can be mounted directly e.g. to cabin wall

14 - for Leica internal use only -

Top 6 Features: # 2Size & Weight

Feature Benefit

Size reduced by 70%

Now: 17x17x7cm

- More space and flexibility for mounting positions- Easier “hiding of disturbing black box“

Weight reduced by 25%

Now: 2.6 kg

- Less mass to be absorbed- Easier quick dismount over night- Still light enough for backpack use

15 - for Leica internal use only -

Top 6 Features: # 3Robustness

Feature Benefit

Internal shock absorber concept Allows various mounting directions

Extruded aluminium housing Greater resistance to harsh site and weather conditions

Voltage peak protection No further external protection device required

Military style connectors Cannon ITT - Avoids unintentional wrong plugging- No fussy LEMO plug handling

Protection cabs Connectors are protected from site dirt if not in use

16 - for Leica internal use only -

Top 6 Features: # 4Performance

Feature Benefit

SmartTrack + SmartCheck - Leica quality and technology at sensational price- Fast satellite acquisition. Strong signal. Low noise. Excellent

tracking even to low horizon satellites and adverse conditions. Interference resistant.

Real 20Hz No interpolations, i.e. even fast movements can be measured

<30ms latency Movements are measured without delay

Accuracy Ready for tighter site tolerances

17 - for Leica internal use only -

Top 6 Features: # 5Integration

Feature Benefit

Competitive AnalysisAccuracy & Performance

What That means

Trimble MS750 (pink) at crown point always inaccurate

- Z coordinate not accurate at jerky movements- This is because of extrapolation and filter- This results in erroneous surfaces

Trimble MS750 interpolates 20Hz only The faster the movement the bigger the error

Topcon (light blue) accurate but only at 5Hz

Fast movements can‘t be measured, e.g. direction changes won‘t be sensed

Trimble MS750 at 20Hz only 2cm position accuracy (1cm at 5Hz only)

- MNS1230 is more accurate even at 20Hz- Leica GPS is the reference

20 - for Leica internal use only -

Competitive AnalysisRobustness

What That means

Trimble MS750 uses display + keyboard - Display means error source at the same time- Display means higher production costs

Trimble MS750 states self-tailored vibration specs

-MIL or ISO specs are partly fulfilled only, but not according to the norm
