Introduction5Leica Geosystems GS20 User Manual-1.0.0enIntroductionFor decades, Leica Geosystems has enjoyed a worldwide technological lead in the manufacture of classical surveying instruments and systems. Starting in 1987, Leica Geosystems established a close business relationship with Magnavox's commercial GPS business unit for the design and construction of GPS surveying sensors. This culmi-nated into Leica Geosystems acquisition of the Magnavox GPS business unit in 1994. With this purchase, the unbroken chain of impressive "firsts" now incorporated the field of satellite navigation and positioning technology. Magnavox was one of the first pioneers in this arena, playing a leading role in the development of GPS and its predecessors. Further acquisition of the Philips Ap Navi-gator business in 1997 widened Leica Geosystems product palette to an even greater extent. In May 1999, Leica Geosystems entered the GIS/GPS data collection market with the introduction of the Leica Geosystems GS50 GPS sensor and Leica Geosystems GIS DataPRO office software. With the integration of ERDAS and LH Systems in 2001, Leica Geosystems has expanded its product areas to offer four ranges of GIS and mapping solutions - airborne data acquisition, geographic imaging, GPS/GIS, and land information systems. Leica Geosystems' airborne sensors, field data collectors, work-stations and software help customers create and update GIS databases rapidly, accurately and cost effectively. Leica Geosystems is the first choice for geographic data acquisition systems, 2D and 3D image processing and visualization, and mapping solutions.

Introduction Leica Geosystems GS20 User Manual-1.0.0en 6The Leica Geosystems GS20The Leica Geosystems GS20 PDM was conceived to provide the GIS community with a GPS data collection device that combined the simplicity of a recreational GPS handheld with the power and flexibility of a professional grade mapping system. The Leica Geosystems GS20 represents a true turnkey GPS/GIS mapping solution by integrating the GPS receiver and antenna within the chassis of handheld data collector. Add to this the built-in efficiency of Bluetooth wireless technology and you only need add power and sky; the rest is up to you.Overview of the User ManualThe User Manual is intended to provide information concerning safety, storage and technical data of the Leica Geosystems GS20 and accessories. For additional infor-mation on the use and operation of Leica Geosystems GS20, please refer the GS20 Field Guide (provided sepa-rately). For information concerning the use and interaction between Leica Geosystems GIS DataPRO and the Leica Geosystems GS20, please refer to the GIS DataPRO Manual, found in the documentation directory of installa-tion, as well as the GIS DataPRO installation CD.

Description of the System9Leica Geosystems GS20 User Manual-1.0.0enCharge the BatteriesYour Leica Geosystems GS20 is powered by a recharge-able 7.2 V, Li-Ion battery. Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operation time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new Leica Geosystems GEB90 Li-Ion Battery. The Leica Geosystems GEB90 Li-Ion, 7.2 V, batteries may be charged using the Leica Geosystems GKL24 Dual Bay Battery Charger. Please find more information about your Leica Geosystems Dual Bay Battery Charger in the GKL24 Chargers User Manual.One batteries, fully charged, will power the GS20 for about 7 hours continuously. Operating times will be shorter when working in cold weather. ƽCAUTION:Replace Battery with the same type only. Use of an-other Battery may present a risk of personal injury from fire, explosion, leakage, or excess heat.Precautions:Use only the Leica Geosystems GEB90 Battery to power the GS20 or WoRcs.ƽCAUTION:Charge only with Leica Geosystems GKL24 Charger. Use of another charger may present risk of personal injury from fire, explosion, leakage, or excess heat.Precautions:When charging Leica Geosystems GEB90 Batteries make sure to use only the Leica Geosystems GKL24 Charger.ƽCAUTION:Never carry a Leica Geosystems GEB90 Battery loose. It can be affected by temperature extremes, accidental short circuit, shock and vibration. This may present a risk of personal Injury from fire, explo-sion, leakage or excess heat. Precautions:Always carry it in its case and secure it. When transporting the Leica Geosystems GEB90 Battery by road vehicle, rail, air or ship, always use the complete original packaging (case and cardboard box), or its equivalent, to protect it against temperature extremes, short circuit shock and vibration. ƽCAUTION:Do not dispose of battery in fire. Disposing in fire may present a risk of personal injury from fire, explo-sion, leakage, or excess heat. Precautions:Dispose Leica Geosystems GEB90 Batteries only according to local regulations (e.g. recycling).
Description of the System Leica Geosystems GS20 User Manual-1.0.0en 10ƽWARNING:The battery chargers are intended for indoor use only. Use a battery charger in a dry room only, never outdoors. Charge batteries only at an ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F). We recommend a temperature of 0°C to +20°C (32°F to 68°F) for storing the batteries. Exposing batteries above 70 °C may present a risk of personal injury from fire, explosion, leakage, or excess heat.ƽWARNING:Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short cir-cuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - termi-nals of the battery. Short circuiting the terminals may present a risk of personal injury from fire, explosion, leakage, or excess heat.ƽWARNING:Use of open, damaged or worn out batteries may present a risk of personal injury from fire, explosion, leakage or excess heat. )The battery contains toxic material and must be dis-posed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Do not dispose of the battery in normal household or of-fice waste.1 GKL24 Dual Bay Battery Charger including2 AC/DC Converter3 Power Cord for GKL244 GEB90 Battery, Li-Ion, 7.2V

These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
Safety Directions Leica Geosystems GS20 User Manual-1.0.0en 20• To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes) cables (antenna, power source, modem, ...) should be protected with appropriate protection elements (lightning arrestor). These installa-tions must be carried out by an authorized, local specialist.• Additional protection against lightning: If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain unused and unattended for a long period, protect your product additionally by unplugging all systems components and disconnecting all connecting cables and supply cables (e.g. Receiver - Antenna).Suggestion for design of a Lightning Conductor for a GPS System1. On non-metallic structuresProtection by Air Terminals is recommended. An Air Terminal is a pointed solid or tubular rod of conducting material with proper mounting and connection to a conductor. The position of 4 Air Terminals should be uniformly distributed around the Antenna at a distance equal to the height of the Air Terminal. The Air Terminal diameter should be 12mm for copper or 15mm for aluminium. The height of the Air Terminals should be 25 to 50cm. All Air Terminals should be connected to the down conductors. The diameter of the Air Terminal should be kept to a minimum to reduce GPS signal shading.2. On metallic structuresProtection is as described for non-metallic structures, but the Air Terminals can be connected directly to the conducting structure without the need for down conduc-tors.
