Leica RCS1100 Remote Control Surveying Unit

Leica RCS1100 Remote Control Surveying Controller

RCS1100 stands for Remote Control Surveying. The RCS1100 enables survey instruments of the TPS1100 and TPS1000 series to be remote controlled.

The control unit, the radio modem and the power supply are all contained in a compact, ergonomically-designed housing. The incorporated radio modem is used together with the TCPS26 radio modem as a basic station in the TPS1100.

Instruments in locations which are exposed, difficult to reach, or cramped, can be conveniently operated with the RCS1100 control unit.

The RCS1100 can remotely control almost all of the functions and applications of TPS1100 and TPS1000 series instruments.

Because its keyboard and LCD are the same as those in the TPS1100, the RCS1100 is operated in exactly the same way. If the TPS1000 is used, the keyboard template for assigning the keys is applied.
