Total Station Leica Tcr 1203 Manual

The Leica TCR 1203 (part of the TPS1200 series) remains a powerhouse in the surveying world, known for combining "old-school" Swiss durability with a surprisingly modern feature set.

1. Laser Safety: The EDM emits an invisible laser. The user must never point the instrument at reflective surfaces (windows, mirrors) or human eyes.
2. Environmental: Do not operate in explosive atmospheres. The IP54 rating protects against dust and splashing water, but submersion voids warranty.
3. Battery Handling: Use only Leica chargers (GKL211). Lithium-ion batteries must not be shorted or exposed to >60°C.

Data handling & compatibility

• Files typically export in standard survey formats (CSV, DXF, RAW/OBS) depending on firmware; compatible with GIS and CAD workflows.
• Always note coordinate system, units, and datum in project metadata.
• Back up data frequently and keep a log of measurement metadata (operator, instrument height, weather).

: This feature allows for the precise placement of points in the field based on pre-set coordinates. Data Management Laser Safety: The EDM emits an invisible laser
