General Information5LEICA SR20 User Manual-1.1.0en1. General InformationFor 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. Leica Geosystems offers an entire product basket of GPS receivers. This includes receivers designed for Land Surveying, GIS, Machine Control, Monitoring and various other applications. The SR20 GPS receiver allows the user the maximum in flexibility. The SR20 GPS receiver can be used as a high accuracy Land Surveying device, a powerful GIS data collector, or even a Reference Station. The SR20 is packaged with the Leica Geo Office software. This software is also extremely flexible with it’s ability to accept data from a variety of Leica receivers including: total stations, levels, and GPS.
General Information LEICA SR20 User Manual-1.1.0en6The Leica SR20The Leica SR20 GPS receiver was designed to provide the Land Surveying community with a reliable, rugged and accurate GPS receiver that is also flexible enough to fit both sub-meter and centimeter accurate land surveying requirements.

Description of the System9LEICA SR20 User Manual-1.1.0enCharge the BatteriesYour Leica SR20 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 SR20 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), you should take the battery through one complete 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 0°C to +40°C/ +32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F 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 -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
