Leica TPS1200 User Manual

This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser 
plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked 
ground point.

)

Important features:

• It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and 

avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument.

• The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the 

instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier 
to centre the instrument.

• The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equipped 

with an optical plummet.

• Refer to "TPS1200 Technical Reference Manual" for additional information on 

using the laser plummet.
