Power Concept
General
Use the batteries, chargers and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems to
ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.

2.2.3
Data Storage Concept
Description
Data (Leica GNSS raw data and RINEX data) can be recorded on the SD card.
Memory device
Unplugging connecting cables, removing the data storage device or interrupting the
power supply during the measurement can cause loss of data. Only remove the data
storage device, unplug connecting cables or interrupt the power supply when the GS
GNSS instrument is switched off.
SD cards can directly be used in an OMNI drive as supplied by Leica Geosystems. Other
PC card drives can require an adaptor.
Internal power supply:
Two batteries (for GS10: GEB222; for GS15: GEB212)
fit into the instrument.
If one battery fails, a system shutdown of the
GS10/GS15 GNSS instrument will be
prevented by switching over directly to the
second battery.
External power supply:
GEB371 battery connected via a cable.
OR
Car battery connected via a converter cable supplied
by Leica Geosystems.
OR
10.5 V-28 V DC power supply via a converter cable
supplied by Leica Geosystems.
OR
110 V/240 V AC to 12 V DC power supply unit,
supplied by Leica Geosystems.
SD card:
All GS GNSS instruments have an SD card slot fitted as standard. An SD
card can be inserted and removed. Available capacity: 1 GB.
While other SD cards can be used, Leica Geosystems recommends to only use
Leica SD cards and is not responsible for data loss or any other error that can
occur while using a non-Leica card.
