1. Introduction
For 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 culminated 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 Navigator 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, workstations 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.

Charge the Batteries


Your Leica Geosystems GS20 is powered by a rechargeable 7.2 V, Li-Ion battery. 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. One battery, fully charged, will power the GS20 for about 7 hours continuously. Operating times will be shorter when working in cold weather. Primary use/charging The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible. For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle. For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available. The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0C to +40C/ +32F to +104F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10C to +20C/+50F to +68F if possible.

It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.

Operation/Discharging The batteries can be operated from -20C to +55C/ -4F to +131F. Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

Suggestion for design of a Lightning Conductor for a GPS System 1. On non-metallic structures Protection 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 structures Protection is as described for non-metallic structures, but the Air Terminals can be connected directly to the conducting structure without the need for down conductors.
